i would like to know why it's so cold all of a sudden (in the last couple of days) i mean, i'm close to catching a cold becuz i'm so cold! lol! brrrr
anyways, i had a great time last night. we went to Jack Astors and our food was pretty good. i think mine was the best, since Yuan had some curry thing with cooked pinapples in it (ew), and Ching's dish was really salty and weird-tasting. soooo yup! mine was yummy. we stayed there talking til like 10:30. it was fun!
and today i have nothing to do. i'm gonna go change my cell phone number and go to art and get my stuff back (since i'm not gonna go there much anymore) so i can paint at home or whenever. i've yet to paint a sunset. i really want to, and have for quite some time. meh. i also need to finish packing and getting stuff together for my monday move. Jon's gonna be out by Sunday! Boo hoo! Damn Waterlooers, moving a day before us. (actually, that is too bad for them, cuz i get to stay an extra day! muaha!) but we'll see each other in Waterloo (along with a bunch of other people), so i'm looking forward to that. What i'm not looking forward to is leaving everyone else behind! =( i'll be so sad.
I wonder how Mar and Lili are doing in good ol' Montreal. heheh they're probably out every night drinking and partying. lol yup
anyways, i'm cold so i think i'm gonna put on like a sweater or something. ta-ta!

yesterday was fun. i went to lunch with Jon (the OAC dude) at Pizza Hut. We had buffet. yumyum! we also looked at his pics from Formal, and some that was taken around school. he gave me his grad pic, the one from formal (which didn't turn out good), and the one we took one day after school outside. After lunch he drove us back to the community center and dropped me off, so he could go back to work. i walked to Midland/Sheppard so i could meet Matt. i didn't know what time it was, so i wnet to Midtown to call and check the time. i was an hour early. soooo...i called like 7 times, but no answer. so i was forced to sit outside and wait for an hour. after 45 minutes (i checked the time on the payphone) i called again, to see if he was coming soon. again, no answer. so i sat there and read my Reader's Digest (which was pretty good, actually) finally i went out from my little reading corner to see if Matt had arrived yet. and i heard someone call me! it was Matt. aparently he had been waiting for 10 minutes. grrrr....
anyway, so we walk to Agincourt Mall, but the photo booth thingy was out of order, AFTER we took our pics. so some man named Bill came up to us and told us to go to the Management office to get our money back. so we wnet and i got my money back. after about 15 minutes of just sitting on the bench and sulking, we went home.
and that night, when i got home, i found out that my laptop arrived! yaaayy!! so me and my brother setted it up and everything. and we actually didn't argue. =)
and i'm going out to dinner with Ching and Yuan again! yippee! i swear, these dinners are gonna make me broke. we always go to these restaurants where it's like average 20$ per person, including tax and everything. *sigh*
i'm huuungry. one more hour, then i get to eat! ahhh!! okay, i don't have anything else to post, so ta-ta!

wow, it's been a wicked couple of days. i actually did have my internet, but i just never had time to post anything.
Anyways, i think i'll just tell you about my one wicked day. It was yesterday. i got up at 5:45am to get ready to go to that Business Career fair thingy Bernard's sister told me about. i was pretty nervous, because this was the first time i've associated myself with anything business. I dressed carefully, fixed my hair and everything. i was really sleepy on the subway though. anyways, i got there early, and didn't know anyone except Audrey (Bernard's sister). so i stood around til someone gave me something to do. after stuffing envelopes with names tage, i went along with a couple of other volunteers to get ready for the many seminars that were about to take place. i got a nice golf shirt, with their logo and stuff on it, and also my name tag. i was the doorperson/greeter in one of the MANY rooms at the Royal York (hahah French class in gr.9). i talked to the speaker, whose name was Peter Ebner (i think, that's his last name). and he was going to talk about Negotiating skills for a Higher Profit. not exactly interesting, but during the actual seminar, where he made his presentation to about 40 Attendants (all business people. mostly adults) i listened and actually learned a lot. they are really knowledgable and it's so interesting talking to them cuz they know so much. it was actually quite fun. after the seminar, i went downstaires for lunch, and met some of Audrey's friends from Waterloo. they were all older than me (as was everyone else in the whole event) but we talked and got along pretty good. even some of the staff, who were adult were easy and fun to talk to. me and three of Audrey's friends sat at this booth at the Career Fair for like 2 and a half hours! all we did was go around and get free stuff nad sit there and look at our free stuff. LOL! well, there was this guy, Audrey's friend, and he kept taking my phone. he was like "i want this phone!" and then some guys from another company and booth came over and talked to us. one of them, i forgot his name, he was a real bitch. so annoying! and he kept calling me the "Little One". grrr... but it was alright. he left. anyways, i left at 4:30, after attending one of the seminars halfway about careers in Singapore. i went home to get ready for Lili's party.
i don't think i'm gonna type the whole party on my blog, since many of you who are reading this were there. but yea, Mar was there, it was such a nice surprise! her hair was beautiful as always, if not, better (since she curled it). heh heh. and it was just really nice seeing everyone again. Jamie was there and i asked him when he arrived, and he was like, at 6, and i was like "why didn't you drive me?!" (cuz he lives like a block away. and Jon was like "i know!!" (cuz he lives a block away too). so....oh well! it was fun catching up news with people, and not once did Mar and I talk about our beloved Harry Potter. haha there were other more important matters to discuss. tee hee! anyways, we had barbecue for dinner, thanks to Lil's family! and the cake the 5 guys made was actually very yummy! i wished i could've tasted the chocolate though. but gotta love the icing! at first i was really reluctant to eat it, because of the video. but it was hilarious, so...yup. it was nice of them to bake. Brian's company of hamsters were, i think, the most entertaining gifts of all! lol! so cute! we signed yearbooks, exchanged numbers, and just sat around taking pics. i left at 11:45, since Karen needed to get home before midnight. so we left, but not without ton of hugs and bye's and pictures. it was truly a memorable evening. (if you're reading this, Lil, THANKS!!)
anyway, i promised a couple of people i would post my res mailing address up, so here it is:
Mandy Cheung
3-77 Seagram Drive
Waterloo, ON
N2L 3B6
it says here that my phone # is 519-883- 0021, but i don't really know how that works. if the university gave us our own number, so i'll just post my new cell phone number when i change it.
Anyway, that's it for now!!

i had a pleasant day today. i woke up at 8:30 and wnet to the office with my mom. after a while, i drove to my violin lesson. it was a lesson unwasted. i played hard and learned lots. i learned mostly the 2nd movement of Beethoven's 5th Symphony. DUN DUN DUN DUUUUNNNNN!!!
oh wait, that's the first movement. but i'm playing that too, so whatever! hehehe anyways, so my mom drove me home after violin and when i got home, i practised more violin! practised the stuff i just learned. it was hard. when i was done, i called Matt cuz i wanted to go out, but i didn't know where. after chatting for a bit Kamla called me, so i talked with her for a while. and then after i hung up with her i call Matt back, because i wanted to see him. so we made plans to go to the ice cream place cuz i felt like eating some ice cream. but i told my mom i'd be back in 2 hours, so it didn't leave me a lot of time. so we ended up not going to the ice cream store. we went to this nearby park, and just sat around, enjoying the beautiful day. and then i had to go home. i passed the time i said i was gonna be home by like 25 minutes! but it's alright, i didn't get in any trouble. anyways...i was really quite bored when i got home, but i sat around and read and ate crackers and watched tv. and now it's almost bedtime! yaaayyy.
and to take up space i will write random words that don't make sense (to most readers): bleugh. hem hem. bloooooooor next. blooooooooor. hem hem.
ok anyways, i'm tired. i think i'll go to bed early for once. nighty night.

i can't believed i missed Nefertiti last night. i've been waiting for that show to come on for one MONTH!! arghhh... i was on the phone with Matt last night and he mentioned some tv show, and i was like "omg!! i forgot to watch Nefertiti!! Goddammit!!" anyways... he said it might be on tonight, so i will watch it and see if it comes on.
i also have to call Ramy to see if he's coming to Ontario Place with us on Sunday. I called Mike last night but he was out with Kate, so i don't think i'm going to call again. i refuse to believe that his friend and his sister did not give him the message that i called. he deliberately did not return my call. so that's their loss.
i've been packing for university. i can't believe i'm going in two short weeks!! so much to do, so little time... i should really peel myself off of my chair and get to work, but......nahh...hehehe
i went to violin lessons this morning, because i need extra work on my pieces for the audition. it's pretty hard! i practised about an hour altogether when i got home. ( so i did work! muahaha) but i think i should practise more later.
*SIGH*
ok i'll post more later.

i finally bought my dear laptop! ahhh... i'm relieved now. i'm actually not gonna have too much time installing software into it before i leave though. they estimated that the date i'd get it is the 29th. oh well, we'll see what happens.
anyway, i didn't go on the computer last night because the radio stations were teling us to conserve electricity. so it's a good thing. i mean, i kinda like not having to depend SO much on the computer for entertainment. on thursday, without my computer and tv, i was like "what the heck are we gonna do tonight for entertainment?!" but as it turned out, the night had been more fun than i anticipated. before the sun set, the four of us actually all sat outside (cuz it was hot in the house) on the deck, doing stuff. we have this glass table on our deck, so my parents were mulling over their Europe plans, my brother was playing chess with himself (thinking up strategies to beat ppl i guess) and i was contently drawing a flower i heard my teacher teach someone in one of the friday art classes. i don't remember the last time we were all together at one place, not arguing or shouting at each other. it was nice. and we haven't really used our deck in a while. when it was too dark to read tourist pamphlets and draw anymore, we headed inside, lit tons of candles (thanks to my growing collection) and my brother and i played monopoly by candle light. it was actually pretty fun. i beat him. my parents momentarily left the house to go to the office because my dad was worried about the security, so, yeah. when they came back, my mom was like, "there's so many stars!" so i was like "omg!! i wanna go stargazing!" so i abandoned the (second) game of monopoly, and went out with my dad. it was nice. i brought along a towel and a pillow so we could lie on the pavement (of the catholic school nearby) and look up at the stars. i saw the Big Dipper. and a shooting star! then i had an idea of taking pictures! but my dad wouldn't come out with me again, so my brother had to come. but we argued so much. i was really pissed off at him, cuz he kept criticising everything i say and do, so i just told him to leave. so i was by myself for a bit, perfectly happy, except my damn camera won't work!! i got so frustrated, seriously, i was so mad. and then my mom came and told me how it's dangerous for me to be out here by myself and shit. and i'm like, if i get kidnapped, then i won't be able to see my brother again, so it's okay. my mom was kinda disappointed, but whatever, i don't really care. anyways, after a while, all the mosquitos came out so we headed home. i got bit 4 times. and they fuckin itch like crazy! and that was my night. yup. and i went to work yesterday at my art teacher's place, but i didn't see that movie with Timmy cuz there might not be any electricity. so it's postponed til whenever he calls me up again. heh heh ooh fun.
anyways, that about wraps up my rant for today. goodnight.

damn this week has gone by so fast. it's already wednesday! which means tomorrow is thursday! which means i have violin lessons again. paahhh... i don't think i've practised enough this week, even i did improve with the beethoven piece. but still...
mmm...for once, i don't really know what to write. nothing has been going on. i'm planning the trip to Ontario Place, but just now, something's come up, so i'll have to either change the date, or come back early. i have to go to this Sendoff thing for Laurier. it's like an information night thing. i forgot to register and now, the clostest location, which is Markham, is booked full, so i have to go to the one at Mississauga, which is on the 20th. oh well... hmmmm...
anyways, i have nothing else to post. i just called Emilia, she's doing fine. so...yup!

i haven't posted in a while, so i think i should post something now.
well....there isn't much to say, really.... on thursday and part on friday i was mostly angry and upset and stuff. stupid family...messing up my plans and annoying me!! i wanted to look at some laptops too, but then my brother barged in and started bossing us (me and my dad) around. GRRRR!!! i cried a fair bit. and even more after, and during my icq convo with Matt. meh. anyways, on friday, which was my birthday, i felt like shit. it was the worst i've felt in a loooong time. *sigh* i think the highlight of my day was going to work at my art teacher's place. the kids were rowdy as usual, but they were so cheerful, it lifted my spirits up a lot. my teacher also surprised me with a really nice cake and so we all got to take a break and eat cake and "bird's nest" (not a REAL bird's nest but that's what they call it), a Chinese delicacy. it's really expensive too. but she's like, rich. anyway, and then my teacher surprised me again with a present for me! aww...
anyways, i got to leave early, and after my mom picked me up, we headed home to meet my dad and my brother. i found out that Johnson had stopped by to drop off a cake too! so i called him to say thanks and then we drove downtown to Krinos, Taste of the Danforth. there were all these yummy Greek food along the street, and loooots of people too, but it was pretty fun. the food was expensive, but soooo yummy!
anyway, then saturday, i went to art, then met matt after, where he gave me a birthday present, and then i went home, ate and cleaned the house, then at like 5:30 ish i went over to Jon's house for the picnic. they were cooking. Ryan, Alicia, and this other girl, i think her name's Susanna, or something, were there, but no one else. so after hanging out a bit, I went with Ryan to WH park to unload somefood. Timmy called to ask for directions to WH park, and after like 20 minutes, Timmy, Omid, Sanjeyan, and Ming showed up. then then while i was just about to leave, Ryan drove back from Jon's house (he went back to pick up more food) along with Jon, Pat, and Jackie. fun fun fun! but i had to leave. =( oh well. at one point, Ken called me to see if i was still coming. heheh
anyways, so i drove to the Korean BBQ, and there were only Ken, Peter, Benson, Tomson and me. so we waited, and eventually everyone arrived, except for Nick and Edward. Nick didn't show up til 8:45 ish. and Edward didn't show up at all. we had lots of laughs and convos. It was tiring waiting for Nick to finish eating though. anyways, Douglas and i had a really interesting convo about his DJ-ing in clubs and stuff. i never knew he DJed. it was quite an interesting convo. but then he had to leave. about 10:15pm, we left the restaurant and headed to Ching's house. Ching's friend drove Edward up too, so he was there. We watched the previews of our trip to China, including a couple of the episodes. i never saw the silkworm eating preview, so we watched that. it was funnay! i think the funniest stuff was stuff that Ken did. to name a few, i will post some memorable quotes.
**
eating a silkworm:
*putting silkworm in mouth...chewing...making a disgusted face*
"ahh!!"
**
Reporter: "so, Ken, how were the silkworms?"
Ken: "they were...they were...umm....yeah." ( he said he didn't want to say that they tasted horrible)
**
-->upson seeing coffin-like boxes in his ancestral house: (note: i don't remember exactly what he said)
Ken: "i saw these boxes that were the right size for coffins, and i was like....ahh!!"
**
hahahah oh man...those are killer!! anyways, yea, i got home at 1:30am. i had to drive Edward home too, since he lives pretty close to me.
anyways, yesterday was that barbecue with the people from orchestra. Bernard came early, so we took him out to lunch. this was about 2pm. after lunch we rented some movies and then headed home. people started arriving. then more people. Eugene's mom gave me a graduation present. (it's a really nice ink pen. i'm actually toying with it right now) Carmen called me at one point, and we just discussed our plans about going out somewhere. then after watching one of the movies halfway, we went upstaires to eat. there wasn't too much. after eating, they (the kids) all went back downstaires, but i really didn't feel like going with them, just becuz i don't really know them well. so i went on icq and Mark invited me to his house. so off i went. i didn't really do anything there either. we went to the ice cream place, then back to his house, where we just sat and watched tv. but at least i knew them. so anyways, i left just before 9pm. i went home, and stayed in the basement with the rest of the kids until they had to leave. it was alright.
anyways...that's my weekend! boring, huh?
well....there isn't much to say, really.... on thursday and part on friday i was mostly angry and upset and stuff. stupid family...messing up my plans and annoying me!! i wanted to look at some laptops too, but then my brother barged in and started bossing us (me and my dad) around.

Nick didn't show up til 8:45 ish. and Edward didn't show up at all. we had lots of laughs and convos. It was tiring waiting for Nick to finish eating though. anyways, Douglas and i had a really interesting convo about his DJ-ing in clubs and stuff. i never knew he DJed. it was quite an interesting convo. but then he had to leave. about 10:15pm, we left the restaurant and headed to Ching's house. Ching's friend drove Edward up too, so he was there. We watched the previews of our trip to China, including a couple of the episodes. i never saw the silkworm eating preview, so we watched that. it was funnay! i think the funniest stuff was stuff that Ken did. to name a few, i will post some memorable quotes.
**
eating a silkworm:
*putting silkworm in mouth...chewing...making a disgusted face*
"ahh!!"
**
Reporter: "so, Ken, how were the silkworms?"
Ken: "they were...they were...umm....yeah." ( he said he didn't want to say that they tasted horrible)
**
-->upson seeing coffin-like boxes in his ancestral house: (note: i don't remember exactly what he said)
Ken: "i saw these boxes that were the right size for coffins, and i was like....ahh!!"
**
hahahah oh man...those are killer!! anyways, yea, i got home at 1:30am. i had to drive Edward home too, since he lives pretty close to me.
anyways, yesterday was that barbecue with the people from orchestra. Bernard came early, so we took him out to lunch. this was about 2pm. after lunch we rented some movies and then headed home. people started arriving. then more people. Eugene's mom gave me a graduation present. (it's a really nice ink pen. i'm actually toying with it right now) Carmen called me at one point, and we just discussed our plans about going out somewhere. then after watching one of the movies halfway, we went upstaires to eat. there wasn't too much. after eating, they (the kids) all went back downstaires, but i really didn't feel like going with them, just becuz i don't really know them well. so i went on icq and Mark invited me to his house. so off i went. i didn't really do anything there either. we went to the ice cream place, then back to his house, where we just sat and watched tv. but at least i knew them. so anyways, i left just before 9pm. i went home, and stayed in the basement with the rest of the kids until they had to leave. it was alright.
anyways...that's my weekend! boring, huh?

yeah, so i went to HSC today for my stupid excercise test. it was so tiring! i did up to 7 minutes and 15 seconds. it's not thaaaat bad, but i could;ve done better if i were in shape. oh well!! anyways, so after my check up, i talked to Andre (the secretary dude on my floor) and it was cool. he siad he just came back from a little vacation from nowhere. heh heh...just stayed at home and chilled. that's cool. it was nice seeing him, as i'll probably never see him again. (actually no, i'll see him once or two more times) yup. anyways, then i left the hospital, to head towards the subway station to meet Matt, but there was lots of time left so i just sat on one of the hospital benches outside, and read my book. i also saw this plaque thing about a guy named William Mustard, who had a famous heart surgury named after him. I've had that surgury done before. and the really cool thing was that he's born on the same day as me! whoop-de-doo!
anyways, so i met Matt, and we went back to HSC to eat lunch. i also showed him around a bit. we didn't go upstaires though, becuz i've already been there, and if i go back, ppl will be like "what are u doing still here??" so...yeah. anyways, after lunch we walked to the AGO. we didn't end up using the coupon after all becuz he got in as a student, and i got in as a youth. yay for fake ages!! we looked at this collection by a man named Tom Thomson. it wasn't very interesting, if you ask me. oh well. and then we went to the sculptures section, which held many pieces by Henry Moore. they were really nice, actually. (the huge piece outside the AGO is done by him) but at some points, we were really tired, so we just sat on those benches they have at the gallery for ppl to sit and admire the paintings. and so we sat down and admired the paintings. and sculptures. preeeetty! after getting lost a bit on the elevator and walking around in circles, we ended up in this room with lots of comfy benches and lots of interesting contemporary art books. so we plopped ourselves down, and started going through them. some of the books were really quite boring, but we found 2 (hahah 2.) that were interesting. they had many pictures of the male genetalia in an assortment of colours, amongst other interesting pieces of "art". but we soon got bored of it, and after many more circles and deadends, we decided to leave. although the whole ordeal wasn't as great and exciting as a thought it would be, i have to admit, it was still pretty fun. after AGO, we walked to the Eaton Center, where we did absolutely nothing. well, we ate something, and then headed back outside, where we found it was raining, so we walked in the rain to this little park thingy, and sat near this waterfall. Matt said the water from the waterfall was full of stuff we would find in a toilet after we've used them. hahaha yeess....narsty! it was all yellow and smelly, but we sat there talking for the longest time. lol! weird ppl walked near us too. there was this homeless man, who came and threw a penny in there backwards. apparently, it was supposed to be good luck. hmm....good luck in smelly toilet water? eww. a couple of ppl asked us if we had cigarettes. of course we said no. i mean, c'mon! and this "gangster" dude with an umbrella started poking the water with his umbrealla. ewwwwwww!! lol
anyways, after that we were really tired so we decided to just home. and we did. we met that homeless dude. he was so nice, i wanted to give him money. oh well...
and that's my day.

the weekend has been pretty fun. I treated my family and my art teacher and her husband to dinner friday night at this chinese restaurant. it was lotsa fun becuz i've never been there before, and the food was yummay! but then i got bitten by a buggy thing on the way home, and my eye kinda swelled a bit. it's better now.
on saturday, i went to art, drew this really cool chinese water colour picture (but i was a bit too excited and i kinda ripped it...lol) but anyway! i didn't get to meet Matt, though, becuz i was getting a ride. it was alright though, becuz i wouldn't have finished my picture on time anyway. so then we ate lunch at a Korean barbecue, and went home, and did a lot of cleaning. i vacuumed a lot, and cleaned the living room and washed the whole floor on the main floor. it was TIRING! but then afterwards, my mom took me out to STC to see if there were any nice little tables to put their stereo on. we found one but didn't buy it yet. and then on sunday, which was yesterday, i went out with my family to look at stuff again. well, we went to Wal Mark to take some photos, cuz my mom wanted us to. i took my braids out and made it all pretty for the pics. hahaha! and then after that we drove my brother home becuz he was acting like a little kid, complaining and shit. so after we drove him home, my dad was gonna take me to STC to see some laptops at Dell. but then i waited for him for a reallly long time, and after like half an hour i went downstaires to see what he was up to, and lo and behold, he was sleeping on the couch! i was like "hey, are we going or what?" and he was kinda pissed and and said "i'm tired!" so i was pissed off, and said "fine, i'll go by myself!" and he was like "Do you want me to go with you?" (cuz i think he was kinda guilty, after saying he was gonna go with me) so i said, no. anyways, i was in the car, and i called Matt becuz i didn't wanna go by myself at all. and he said he would come with me, so i picked him up, and off we went. we couldn't find Dell, becuz there wasn't any Dell! i asked this woman at Information, and she said they only came at Christmas time. booo... so we walked around, and talked to Ben at West 49, cuz he was working there, and then i drove him home. and when i got home, i read a bit, and then i recieved a phone call from Carmen, asking me to go see a movie with her. so then she picked me up and off we went to AMC. Jordan and John were working at the time, so we got in for free. the movie (Legally Blond 2) was alright, but i think Ella would appreciate it more. it's all pink and girly, like her.
and today, i drove a lot. we went to all these places. The Bombay store, to buy that little table, and while we were there, i found this really cool mirror for our bathroom which i will soon be re-decorating. (!! yay!!) so...yea, i was really excited. still am. and now i'm hungry and bored. Matt's gone to his friend's birthday dinner and Carmen said she won't be able to go to the Science Center tomorrow. oh well...i'm planning to AGO (art gallery), since i'll be downtown anyways. sooooo...yeah. i was gonna ask if Timmy wanted to go with me cuz i haven't seen him in sooo long, but he just recieved some bad news from Guelf, so i don't think i should take him out at this moment, or both him and i will be butchered by his parents. LOL!
ok this post is really long, so i'm gonna stop typing.

i wanna know why the hell i have so many tuning forks all of a sudden! i mean, okay, i bought one after i thought my old one was lost, and i took one from Lum. (i probably shouldn't have posted that, but whatever), and now i have like two extra ones on my stand, the new one i bought, and for some reason, one in the car! ok, i have no idea how that got there. weird...
Anyways, two days, i went to Sick Kids for the check up, and the echo took sooo long! i actually fell asleep! after all the times i wanted to sleep in there, i actually did it. aren't you so proud of me? hahaha. i had some WEIRD dreams though...anyways, after that i had to follow my mom around while she had to go take care of business (cheques, banks, shopping, whatever). And she also gave me this Toronto Playbook, which is like a little guide of all the events taking place in Toronto during the summer. there are sooo many places i wanna go! hehehe i asked Jordan if he was busy on Sunday so we could go to Caribana, but he had to work, so i made my parents go with me. hahaha but i think the parade is tomorrow (saturday), so....i dunno. we'll see. i also called Frances to see if she wanted to come to the zoo with me, but she said she works there, so she can get me in for free. yaaayyy!
umm... anyways, i don't really know what else to say, but i'm trying to write longer posts now, so that ppl can actually read about stuff. and it's also good for like, a record. yea, anyways...
umm...
oh! Christine told me she doesn't use her blog anymore, she uses this other place. so no wonder she stopped posting! i have to change the url on my template for her blog link.
anyways, i think this is enough for now...
