23rd day in Canada,yesterday didnt write cos was kind of cropped up with stuff..not totally busy lar...come home tired,slept until 10pm...then eat "dinner" then had bible reading with my bro and then went to do homework and slept at 2am...

abt the bible reading...my bro and i doing something called daily bible reading that we have a schedule that we will finish the new testament in six mths...b4 i go back lar..hehez...and then maybe go on solo to finish the old testament loh...

played bball in gym after sch yesterday..played with Rocco(the guy i knew from maths and philosophy class,he's from China..more specific,hongkong)...and a few other guys that i got to know while playing bball there...

it was fun...then i was known as the one that cannot do tricks or else they cant follow de...cos maybe all this time in bball training,been training hangtime "meaning how long can stay in the air"...so pattern can do alot..hehez..

cos we were playing the game called "horse"..its just a game that u do a skill and u get the ball into the net,the next person must follow...they only allow me to shoot,cos they cant follow my pattern layups..so i had to suit them loh...or else see them always saying "aiya,cant do lar..pass straight" also not very gd...so i use shooting lar...not so bad too lar...but they were all three point shooters..and three point line here is much further than singapore de...so i had a hard time lar,but since i started bball with three point shooting..it was still alright...but not that gd,cos i very long never shoot le...they like training me for it...hehez...

there are many pple i know in everywhere,while bball,while classes,while even just in canteen or just needing help or sometimes i just de siao pple(learn from JAz,that girl from indonesia) and say something like "hey,where are u from"...and whatever contry they say or name they say,just say "cool name or cool"..lol...no lar..but i meant it when i said rocco's name was nice..i like it...much nicer than even rocky..lol..

china pple i will use china chinese slang,westerners me use western slang,singaporeans i just use singlish while pple that like cool guys,i will use things like "come on man,teach us something useful,this is crap"...=X...i'm known to be quite proud in maths class..not really lar...but one of them that always say things behind the teacher's back..cos he really teaches common sense stuff...and those harder stuff,he gives little explanation..its so hard learning from him...

he asked a question yesterday and i was the only one that dared to answer..so i raised my hand...answered it...everyone understood but he was like 'i dun understand it,u wanna rephrase it?"...all the guys around me are like saying "come on man,this is the simplest form"..lol

philosophy still rules...its just so nice to learn that philosophy supports alot of christianity...it mainly comes from christianity...so i benefit alot...the teacher knows me well,actually every lit teacher knows me lar...cos i sure ask them alot of questions and talk to them personally de...but this philosophy teacher is still labelling me as "CLiff..that drummer"...everything also "Cliff,drums blah blah blah"...he was like using an example of a logic that is not true by using the statement "all drummers have long hair"..then asked me abt it...i said "no,many drummers i know all short hair,spiky,cool...long hair isnt cool"...

then maths lesson,its just cos i dared to answer the question yesterday,everyone is looking to me for answers or like i'm a "know-it-all"..nayz,i know i'm supposedly gd at maths,but nayz,not totally maths geek loh...i just keep on telling them "i'm not so smart lar...i even have a problem understanding the question"...the topic "proof" is so boring...the question is phrased in such a hard way...its easy to understand when he explains it...but its so hard to understand what the question wants when u see the question...

economics class,two days i go,two days also teacher absent...so sianz...so sway de...i dun like listening to video clips or doing homework only...i had a hard time catching up...and no one in this class is friendly or anything...obviously,i'm new...its okay if they dun take the initiative to talk to me..but i did and they still ignore the fact that i'm new,i need to know more b4 i can do the homework..ended up i just borrow one of the books,read the book and do by myself..which was quite hard...i hope the teacher comes back soon..

today was late for sch...the floor was so filled with ice..it rained yesterday and today it turn into ice,so i was like skidding most of the time..cos i dun hav boots yet...still wearing my adidas shoes..even though i bought three more sports shoes...trying to wear this old shoe out first...i think i'll get a tommy hilfiger boots tml..they are nice...thats besides the point anyways,i fell today...not accidentally.but be cos i was on a slope..then i was going to slide backwards...and if i did,i would land on the road...so i decided i used my technique of falling on ice...cos i usually love falling while iceskating de...sometimes deliberately..hehez

the bus service was slow due to the ice...then i got to sch late by 30mins..be cos i slept late yesterday...only had 4 hours of sleep...so i kind of doze off in economics class...esp when its just the tv showing a video clip..i lasted for 1hr 30mins...but the remaining 30mins i totally dozed off until i heard everyone leaving...

i signed up for the basketball team today...seems all the teachers know me...they will be like "oh u are Cliff...i dun think i need u to write ur name anymore...just tell me what u want"...i think cos top 12 newcomers ba...then she was like asking me what i wanted to join..i said basketball team..then she was like "sure..i'll put ur name in..u dun hav to sign up on the board..i'll personally sign up for u"..cos she was in charge..and i had a hard time finding her...this teacher was miss white...the cute teacher...at last i got to see her close up..hehez..she has a very fair expression and very unique look..dunno how to explain..got chance,i use hp and take photo..lol...but she's extremely nice..

i asked whether there was a band...then she was saying two others asked for it also...they were two girls...so she said maybe she will think abt buying the equipment..she asked me what instrument i wanna play..i said drums..then again she said "cool...oh u r the one"...i was like "huh?"...i didnt tell her i know guitar too lar...but i just hope those two girls are not pple that wanna play flute or clarinet or something..cos i want a stage band manz...and girls?..hmm...sexist=X

but i really like pple that go "cool" other than "drums?..unique..",obviously having the mindset many have that drums is noise,drums is not music,drums is for crazy pple...but not true,everything is based on drums..not really drums...but tempo...its a complementary instrument...solo instrument if pple love beats lar...

got pple say that i'm God-sent to her wor..hehez...dun xiang yy...its none other than the singapore auntie joyce thats quite cute...she looks 30 plus when she is in her forties...other than her wrinkles,i dun see her as an auntie...

its like this,she was finding a church for her son,MArc(remember?...the guy that i said read books like harry potter the thick one in two hours)...and she couldnt find one and i offered to help her by bringing him along to the church i'm attending..the one that wants me as drummers and made me play with chopsticks de..hehez

he always has 15 books in his pockets of his winter jacket...and he finished five just now when he was with me...he borrowed 50 books from library everytime de...cos the libraries allow a maximum of 50 here lar...he is crazy de lar...and he finishes them in one week de...

my mum and the aunties she know here in Canada brought her and her son to the church today to see...cos auntie joyce wants to rest assured that her son is going to a gd church b4 she leaves on tuesday..she very teng wo lehz..hehez...keep on telling my mum that me very guai and very dong shi...of course lar..my mum dunno only..she only sees the negative side of me...and even auntie joyce says my hair is stylish..come on manz,my mum is the only one that says i look like i just woke up..i dunno whats the prob with her...cant she understand my thinking of "messy is also a style"...

things are "colouring" up for me here...no problem here manz..i'm beginning to love it...tml have basketball meeting,i dunno what they are going to do in the meeting..but i'm ready to be auditioned for the basketball team..hehez...i may not make it..but i'll do my best..hehez...

at least now i go around with pple saying "hey Cliff.."..."yoz Cliff wassup?".."hey Cliff...see ya in class later ya?"....i like it when the nigerian blacks tell me that...they look like big brothers to me with their height and their colour...but they still respect me,thats what i like...but so sad,they dun play basketball..or they sure can slam dunk one...:(

correct!...today i went to YMCA club with my mum and the rest...cos my mum and the aunties go in for swimming,spa,massage and stuff lar...so i went around with marc and later go square one...but there was a particular time that i sat near the bball court while marc,of course reading his book and being so heck care abt his surroundings,beside me...then i saw someone slam dunk..oh my,its not like singapore..this guy can jump real high..its like he didnt even take alot of strength to slam dunk..pple in singapore do..and the rings are even higher here manz...so cool! i wish i could...haiz..first dream fulfilled "seeing a live slam dunk in western countries"...second dream,i believe i will one day,but depends on whether my mum sabo my genes to be too short lar "that i can slam dunk too"...i'm still growing manz...

i guess i pen off le...thats abt everything for today and yesterday...;) take care everyone...God bless
