Fall (study) break...

Fall (study) break... as the title suggested.. the study is in the parenthesis, so, the study part of the break is optional...

making plan is fun... but when making plan but not following the plan, what fun? that's what it is for my fall break... during the spring and summer holiday, i stayed back and took classes and work and had fun... but, i didn't have a holiday... so, i started planning where to go for fall break... first place that came to my mind -> the Niagara falls...

I googled for all the informations, about when the Maid of the Mist stop operating for winter and all... but because of some 'unavoidable', the plan of going there remains as a plan...

nvm... I'm young and all, so, I can always leave it for another day, rite? so, I started to plan to go to Cedar Point... just a day out... as a roller-coaster lover... I'm so excited about the trip... (fyi, CedarPoint has the most rides, and also, those fastest, longest... and also many other record breaking rides... it's a roller coaster heaven... but, it just didn't do...

so, what succeeds when all others fail? well... Michigan football...!!! yeah... Michigan Wolverines beat 8th-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions by scoring a really-phucking-late-with-no-time-left-on-the-clock touchdown... it was a wonderful Saturday football game... it was full of dramatic plays(and that's an understatement)... it was full and overflowed with OMFG plays...

the game started rather slow... with us leading by a field goal at the half time, 0- 3... but, both teams found their extra gears after the break... with Michigan scoring a touchdown at third quarter... then, Penn State came back with 18 straight points to turn the table with a score of 18 - 10, the wolverines match the nittany lions 8 points play, squared the score at 18-18 and then, scored another field goal to take the lead by 18 - 21... next, the nittany lions somehow managed to muster up another touchdown and conversion to take the lead at 25 - 21... with 0.53 time left on the clock... (53 seconds)...

but, because WE BELIEVE!!!, the fans cheered on, with a wonderful kick-off return by Steve Breaston(he played amazingly in this game)... followed by a couple of firstdowns... and with 1 second left, 4th down, the very last snap of the game, Chad Henne, connected with SUPER Mario Manningham for a touch down with no time on the clock... winning the game with a score of 25 - 27. WE WON!!! The touchdown sent the crowd into a wild celebration!!!

although I was under-dressed (t-shirt and jeans) for the weather, (it was 10 Celcius, with strong wind), i kept jumping and cheering(til I lost my voice)... and to celebrate... we went to Main St. for dinner... With no particular restaurant in mind, we walked from restaurant to ask for a table for five (Putt, Quang, Chia Chye, Lili and I), and we went decided to go to the store with the shortest waiting time...(well, that makes perfect sense, since it was almost 8.15pm), first, we went into Gratzi, a classy, pricey and nice restaurant(the waiting line: 1hr), next, The Chop House, a pricier restaurant (the waiting line: 1hr 30 minutes), so, next, Shalimar, a less pricey Indian restaurant, (the waiting line: 30 minutes)... so, we put down our name, and went to a cafe(Chocolate Cafe) to have a drink for the 30 minutes wait... the food was really good...

We went back to Putt's place to play the console for a while...


then, later that night, 3 of us (Quang, Chia Chye and I) went to catch a movie... The Aristocrats.. it's a hilarious documentary about an old joke "The Aristocrats" which goes:

A family walks into a talent agency. It's a father, mother, son, daughter and dog. The father says to the talent agent, "We have a really amazing act. You should represent us."

The agent says, "Sorry, I don't represent family acts. They're a little too cute."

The mother says, "Sir, if you just see our act, we know you would want to represent us."

The agent says, "OK. OK. I'll take a look."

... (insert as many and as sick actions u can think of here...make it long such that nobody can top u),

and sign off with

"

For the longest time, the agent just sits in silence. Finally, he manages, "That's a hell of an act. What do you call it?"

And the father says, "The Aristocrats!"

Some of the glossary u should know. link

Anyway... that's Saturday (first day of the fall break)...

Sunday... did nothing much, except had lunch, did nothing, had dinner, did nothing much again, except meeting up with some seniors(Junior Year) and some juniors(Freshies...)... it's really pathetic that only 4 of the so-many Sophomores turned up for the thing... shame on u guys...

had supper (Pizza House delivery)

Today, Monday... did some reading, well it's a study break after all...

What did I break in my study break?
Broke my body clock... have been sleeping at 5am and waking up at 12pm) for the past 3 days...

Broke my plan of visiting places... being laid back and enjoying time wasting was really good...

Broke my daily routine...(work, classes and all)

that's all for now...
oh yar... Happy Birthday to Vivian...
