Hey! It's been a long time since anyone has updated this thing, so I decided I'd procrastinate from studying for exams and write. Well, there is one problem... considering I haven't done much except study for the past while I have nothing interesting to say. The oscss was really great, I only had 2 exams as opposed to the 5 I have now, 3 of which are full year courses. This sucks. Anyway, good luck to everyone and Happy Easter and Passover.

Hey everyone!
Hope you all had a great break. I've finally built at least the starting of one of the websites I've been meaning to do for ages. Anyway, I thought I'd share it with you guys - it's my personal website.
The main homepage is here:
www.seas.upenn.edu/~mmaleong
But in case you go there and the links don't work (which for a few people they haven't been for reasons I haven't had a chance to look into) try this link for all the OSC photos you could ever imagine! Well, maybe not THAT many, but a lot.
www.seas.upenn.edu/~mmaleong/Photos.html
Enjoy second semester guys and hopefully I'll talk to you all soon,
Michelle

Hello everyone… Sai here. Hope you haven’t forgotten me. It’s been a while since I last checked up on you guys; things on this side has been crazy. All of you have indeed started to “enjoy” your weekly tutorials and hangovers in universities. Can someone give me a quick shout of who goes where? I can only guess that Peter and T are in UfT, Kendal and Sheila in Queens? And Jeff, are you in western? (Go mustang! I won’t take the bet though.)
Anyway, I’m sure you guys will do very well. Sheila – ignore the idiots you might have encountered in university, they are not going anywhere. In fact, they seemed to self-propagate over time. As you go through life, you seem to see more and more of them. Never cave in to them – and never become one of them. A-hem, got a little carried away there. I have developed a rambling habit since I started a job with the school board. Yes, by the way, I just got a full-time permanent position with the Toronto District School Board. I am currently teaching at West Toronto C.I. It’s a small school (about 800 students), beautiful property and very interesting students. These are not OSC kids, but many have the potential to be one. There is a huge population of ESL students and some very “needy” kids. I like the challenge – and most importantly, I’m having a blast! This semester I’m teaching grade 11 physics, grade 10 math, and grade 12 Web design. Monday we’re building a cannon – I could use some help Jeff :) Anyway, I’ll try to keep you posted every now and then.
Good luck on your finals or midterm or whatever they called the exam before Christmas. Don't study too hard, and don’t party too hard. Cheers,
Sai

Hey guys!
Long time no post - by me at least so I have a little treat to make it all better :) What do we all love more than Marche crepes and watching Grace smoke a bong? Pictures to remember these shenanigans of course! That's right, contrary to popular belief I have not forgotten you all or the brilliant idea we had at Nazlee's engagement party to make a little CD reminder of last semester. It just takes time, that's all. Anyway, till the CD is actually finished check out this page if you're feeling a little nostalgic.
Photographs of OSCSS
Well I hope you enjoy,
Michelle

Hey All, it has been a while! Why don't u guys keep in touch more often! I blame you(jj). So the first month of university is about to end, and I cannot be the only one thinking, "is that all to it". Compared to OSC, it seems kind of "trivial" (my new word de jour) I mean, just a problem set due once a week in two classes, and the odd test and quiz!?
I say this now, only knowing that like next week, i find out that its time to begin mega overload stress time, however now, (although i can't speak for all artsci U of T ppl) It hasn't been overly streesful. Perhaps the worst so far is my MAT137 course, which is called, Calculus! (notice the !, its actually in the description of the course :S ) Maybe I should have taken the easier one, but where's the good ol' stress fun.
The reason I decided to write this is because I have been seriously OSC deprived. Everything is made for you to feel like such a number here, whereas OSCSS made us into a family unit. And now our family is doomed to rare reunions eternally. (BTW, we must make an effort to meet up soon!) I've been taking every chance to "represent". Thats right, I used slang :P. Wearing the OSCSS shirt is great, except when Thirm and myself wear ours at the same time (2 people running from con hall to chemistry wearing matching shirts is quite a hilarious sight). Moreso, UofT is making us wear labcoats to our labs - you know what that means - yes, Thirm and I both are saving money by wearing our bright red labcoats admist the sea of white UofT issued labcoats - don't we ever stand out!
Anyways, my math problem set is calling me, so I must be off. For everyone out of town, keep in touch!. For those on UofT campus (yes, even the engineers who are far less superior to us artsci :P (jokes!) Let's all get together soon!
bye
~Peter

September 23rd, 2003
So after a slightly extended weekend, I have just returned to Western after spending a wonderful weekend at Queen's. Queen's (or Kingston, I guess) reminds me alot of my hometown, only larger. It was nice to get away from the ever-rushed and ever-crowded Western and get back to somewhere that life moves at a slower pace. There's something about sitting by the water, with the wind around you, that makes you realize how much more there is in life than school and homework. It's especially nice to share that sensation with someone who's very special to you.
Of course, it was nice to see Kendal and a couple of my friends around the campus; even if Kendal seems to have a wierd habit of pinning me on Sheila's bed and tickling me to death. She makes it out like she's trying to hug me, but I've fallen for that one to many times. I'm onto you Kendal.
Besides that, I saw The Matrix: Reloaded with Sheila and her friends, checked out the in-fucking-credible rez rooms at Queen's, had a good laugh while drunk people tried to read my OSCSS sweatshirt and generally lounged around doing as little as possible all weekend. It was so relaxing. I miss you Sheila and I miss just lounging around your room already.

September 8th, 2003
Today is the first day of classes at Queen's and after a long week of ridiculous Frosh events, I can only say that I am greatful to start working. On a much more hilarious note, Queen's has a wonderful newpaper, called the Golden words that is just full of satire and swearing. Goldenwords.net is the online edition of the paper. Needless to say that at about 11:30 last night I decided that I needed to write an article for them. I apologize if you become offended by the content or the language used in this article, although, I know most of you will appreciate it.
First draft, submitted at 12:20 am, September 8th, 2003.
Assholes Still Run Rampant
Remember all those idiots you couldn’t stand in high school, Frosh? You thought you’d get away from them by joining the ranks of the best and brightest at Queen’s University. Well, you were fucking wrong. That’s right, bleached blond hair, in all its whorish glory, is everywhere you turn at Queen’s. Plunging necklines, mini-skirts that might as well be belts and seven inch heels are definitely ways to make your colleges take you seriously, ladies. And hell if that doesn’t work, you can always get ridiculously tanked and throw yourself at the nearest fellow loser.
Not to worry, the male sex is equally culpable of idiotic transgression. Drunken, horny Ken dolls seem to think that Skirt Chasing 101 is actually a course offered here. For those of you with you heads up your ass, if you’re not a rugby team, have never watched a rugby game or don’t have a clue in a fucking car load what rugby is you need to wised the hell up and stop wearing your goddamn rugby shirts to every event here.
We’re not all this stupid, so it’s disappointing to see that all those hours of busting your ass, saving your money and planning your degree have left you in league with the average Western student. It would be consoling to hear that come April they’ll have dropped out and your second year courses will be filled with bright, well-mannered (hell any manners will do) and conscientious students, but the fact of the matter is that somehow, dumb people with money never really go away. Deal with it.
the understudy
More to come, I assure you. In the mean time, check out the Golden Words and keep working hard at university kiddies.
Sheila

Adventure Three: Maximum Harassment
You really had to be there to fully experience the awesomeness of this one. I'm not sure how familiar you guys are with pigeons, but they are fairly quiet, docile animals. Expect when there's a predator around, then they go fucking nuts. Warren and I spent an afternoon catching them with a large net. It took us four hours to catch four of them. We'd lure them with bread and toss the net on it, if we could. All in all, it worked alright. Then we placed some more bread and the pigeons in a floor speaker box. Think about half the height and width of a regular door and fairly large in the other dimenson, a moderately-sized box. We chose pigeons because they only noise they can really make it a light coo. It doesn't get very noisy even with four of them in the box. We taped it up and hauled into the Merivale Rd. Future Shop. First, we sent in Warren with a digital camera to just hang around. Then, Kyle and I carried the box in and walked towards the back where the speakers are. We got a few odd looks but nothing was said. We wandered into an empty aisle near the software section and set the box down. Kyle and I left the store, changed shirts and threw on baseball caps. We returned and hung out with Warren withing viewing distance of the box. We waited... and waited... and waited. It took about half an hour before an employee approached the box. He kicked it a bit, noticed it was heavy (we'd added bricks, taped down to ensure the box appeared to have real contents). He pulled out his exacto-knife and slit the box open. As soon as the pigeons realized they were free and there were potential predators near, they took off like crazy. Flying around the store like bats out of hell. Crashing into shit once and a while. I don't even want to know how much pigeon shit is on stuff in that store. Everyone was ducking down. It was so awesome. Warren snaped a few shots with the camera and we took off. I still remember a Future Shop employee chasing a pigeon waving his arms crazily. It was hilarious. We didn't stick around to see if they'd called the cops, but I doubt they had since it wasn't really a crime... :)
Jeff
P.S. I've got ten bucks that says Western's students are stupider than any other schools. I've got a few stories that can probably outmatch any you guys can tell.

Adventure Two: Moderate Harassment
Seeing how I live an hour's drive from Ottawa, it seemed like a waste to only hit one Future Shop in an evening. So, on our way to the movie theater, we stopped by another Future Shop. This is the harassment we had sort of planned ahead for. Early that day we burned a CD with Piece of Shit Car (Adam Sandler) on it. I'm not sure of how many of you are familiar with this song but it involves phrases like "Lick my sweaty nut sack" and "Friend puked in the back". It's generally the type of song that makes people without a cruel and unusual sense of humor cringe. Future Shop has this handy feature that lets you test speakers they have on sale through an interactive display that involves a CD player connected to about 10 sets of speakers. This was there first mistake. Their second was leaving only one sales person in the area. I approached this employee and began chatting it up about sound cards. It wasn't long before he led me off to the display case, which conveniently is one row over from the speakers. Warren, of course subtly switches the CD they out in their for ours and cranks the volume on the CD player as high as it will go. As part of the display, you have to activate the speakers by hitting a button in front of them. Luckily, they can all be turned on at once. Warren then cranked all the knobs on the speakers as well. At this point our plan seems to be going on unnoticed. Warren wanders over to me where I am still discussing the sound card. I tell the man, I have to go the washroom and wander in the general direction of the washroom. Warren then asks the man to show him something or other, the point being he'll have to open the case and be forced to stay there. I hit the washroom and wander back towards the speakers. But there's a Future Shop (FS) guy there twiddling with something. I cross my fingers and hope that he doesn't notice anything. Thankfully, he doesn't and I wander over after he's left. I hit play on the CD player and watch the counter move. I know from memory that 34 seconds into the song the line "My car's a big piece of shit cause my shocks are fucking shot". I hit all the big red buttons in front of the speakers and Adam Sandler's beautiful voice reverberates across the store. I think I might have damaged my hearing. My ears rang for the next two hours. FS people were almost afraid to go near the display it was so loud. You could see many of them hesitating to approach, covering their ears with their hands. Finally, one brave employee approached and started hitting the red buttons. Too his surprise this did nothing because the buttons are on time-delay and pressing them makes the music run for a certain amount of time. By this point they are beginning to stop playing but the employee's intervention has made a few of them run longer. Customers are beginning to walk towards the exit. Other employees are yelling instructions to the man who approached the display but he can't hear them for shit and he's afraid to take his hands off his ears. Eventually, he runs back to the group of employees who are forming in the middle of the store. I ran off too near the cash counters after hitting the buttons. I am laughing quite solidly at the bewildered employees. So for approximately 45 seconds, Piece of Shit car entertained the Future Shop on Oglivie Road. Special thanks to Warren for helping, Kyle for driving and my sister Kaitlyn for picking the song.
Jeff
I doubt maximum harassment will occur, I think I've run out of time, I have to leave for school soon. Maybe I'll find some other idiots at the Western Country Club to help me.

August 23rd, 2003
Monopolizing the website is fun...
Anyway, just a few stories to tell. I've developed an intense rivalry with Future Shop because they are pure evil; they wouldn't give my mother a rebate on some CD player she bought there. The point is that I am now Future Shop's enemy. Of course, I had to involve my good friend Warren in this endeavor. Imagine a 6 foot tall man(?) with shoulder length, uncombed, unconditioned, rug like hair wearing only a bedsheet with a lumberjack shirt over top.... :)
Adventure One: Minimal Harassment
Warren and I wander around the store aimlessly. Warren begins browsing the laptops. I'm sort of listening in while staring at network cards. Warren pretends to be interested in this one particular laptop. He starts asking questions like "Can it handle high res porno" and "Can I attach online interactive sex toys to it?". The future shop man looks away oddly and nods, almost as though he's a little too familiar with the idea. So Warren decides that this laptop is for him and the future shop guy runs off to get one from the storeroom. Warren takes off like a bat out of hell and I'm left to watch the man patrol the store for 10 minutes with a awkward box looking for a wookie in a bedsheet.
Of course, by this time I've also attracted some attention from the money-grubbing whores who work at future shop. This fairly attractive female employee walks up.
Bitch: "Can I help you?"
Me: (In high-pitched, squealing voice)"Negative"
Bitch: "Excuse me?"
Me: "Negative, I'm a huge nerd; no assistance necessary"
Me: "Unless of course, you're interesting in mating..."
At this point I've offended her, both by loudly squealing and by propositioning her. I'm starting to get odd looks from other customers. She looks a little upset but she wants her commission so she tries to be polite.
Bitch (with fake smile): "Uh, I meant with the network cards."
Me(at this point, I'm starting to smile with laughter and I'd already used the only line I thought up ahead of time): "Excuse me, In coming transmission"
I put fingers into my ear (like the secret service guys), then I bring my wrist to my mouth and...
Me: "Copy that, gold leader."
I run off and look back to see her just shaking her head.
Moderate Harassment also occured tonight but that's another story for another post. Perhaps after we've pulled off the final act.

August 20th, 2003
Hey hey,
In my infinite boredom here in Morrisburg, I've had alot of time to myself for running, reading, video game playing and general nothingness. Sometimes sitting on a big rock in the middle of a moving river with the sun shining down helps you reflect on life.
I've decided that university isn't really for me. Chances are I'll hate everyone anyway. I've decided to adopt a new personality to attend university for me. His name is Darius. Darius is 21 years of age. Darius' penis is 7 inches long and 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Darius likes bananas, yogurt and shreddies. Unfortunately, Darius doesn't get along well with other people. He's pretty quiet and introverted. Darius has size 10 feet. Darius was born in Germany; he grew up in Efurt. He attended Johan Guttenburg Secondary School before deciding to join the army at sixteen. After that he attended Scharfschütze Military Academy, spending his summers in basic training. Darius is 6 feet tall. Being a typical German, Darius enjoys fitness and personal training, alcohol and gothic/punk music. Darius is hetrosexual. Darius has dark brown hair. He likes dark-haired women. Darius has broken his collarbone once, his nose twice and has been shot in the hip once. Darius has a long scar down the side of his back. More on Darius later as I begin to develop him as a person.

P.S. After doing some research, I heard that Macs suck. Discuss.

First SARS, now blackouts - I tell you, it's time to move to Europe.
Alright, so it's been a damn long while since there's been an interesting update, yes? Yes. Here's what you've missed:
My baby arrived - No, you idiots, not a real baby. My Macintosh Powerbook and iPod arrived by FedEx this week. Ha, ha, I think I'm in love.
There was an engagement party of questionable nature for co-brainiacs/future evil geniuses Nazlee and Andrew. Stephanie tried to get everyone to play vulgar games. *sigh* When will you learn Stephanie?
Michelle A. and I got bored and decided to play the "who-lives-in-a-100-km-radius" game. Sorry if you actually did live in a 100 km of the Promenade Mall, we decided to drive to Grimsby to push out radius limit. Pictures of Michelle's odometre at the 99.9 km point will be uploaded shortly. Much load music, brownie eating and dancing (in the car) ensued.
Oh yeah, and for those who care, I went to SHAD and disturbed shit as per usual. Bug me if you want photopage links.
This webpage needs an overhaul, someone get on that. Ha, ha, wait I'm going into computers... uh-oh.

Hey! I hope everyone's doing well. Anyway, I'd just like to announce that there is nothing wrong with my blood.
Michelle and I went to the blood donor clinic at the Don Mills Centre today. Unfortunately Michelle could not donate because she has a rare disease, so you might want to stay away from her. I'm just joking. Anyway, I prepared myself all day drinking over 7 cups of water to prove that it wasn't my fault that they didn't get enought blood from me last time. I told the nurse what had happened last time to me,the bruising and everything, and she even said that I had tricky veins and that the person who took my blood last time had probably screwed up. So it was a success this time.
As for Michelle, it is quite interesting how she lives in Brampton yet the 2 times she donates or tries to donate it's been in Toronto.
Well, I hope to see you guys this weekend. If I were you, I would try my best to show up or else you'll have to deal with Michelle and she's seems pretty scary. By the way, I've just been informed by Thirumahal that Mike is going to try to come to the ultimate game.
See you guys later!

Hello everybody! For some of you, long time no see! Anyhoo...I thought I would update you on my "adventure" to SHAD Valley - which I have dubbed MacTrek, although it was more like wondering hopelessly through the streets of Hamiltion - in McMaster University to visit Sheila, and Steph C., who I met at CWSF.
Firstly, I had no directions, or time, as Steph C. forgot to reply to me with the details - just making the trip much more interesting - by which I mean a pain in the ass! Then, when trying to buy a ticket, of course my card gets declined as a already withdrew my limit :@<--angry face. That meant another trip home, and a raid of my piggy bank, which left me with just enough for a return ticket.
Everytime I get together with anyone from OSC, it has rained - today was no exception. The second I got of the bus, it started to rain - hard, very hard - cold, quasi-hail rain. As I am being drenched, I somehow stumbled on campus and the next 3 hours - YES 3! - were spent wondering from building to building trying to find the shadlings. The peeps at the Engineering building finally took be to the rite dorms, after feeling pitty for me and offering me a coffee :D (Its like they knew)
Despite the horrible omens, the day with the SHADlings was awesome. The highlite - finding out that I'm not the most anal person on earth! (which I'm not so sure is that good of a thing, I mean, I liked being the best at something)Sheila was her normal self, I'll let her tell all the stories.
Anyways, after attempting to gain some credit for their projects, I mean, all the credit, we headed off for a fantastic buffet (yeay food!) However, again, being missinformed, I was the only one in jeans and a tshirt - every1 else was formal (yuk). There were some sappy speeches at the end, including a 51 member group hug (No, I wasnt the 51st member, I was disgusted with the sappiness (Im sure that Sheila was too, I think its a SHAD thing )) Unfortunately, time came for me to go, as the last Go bus left at about 8, just before the variety show which Sheila directed (Yeah, I stayed away from her before she would kill me - I learned well from Grad)
Overall, it was a blast! What a way to spend the day (lost in a strange town alone)
Miss you all,
>Peter

Hey guys! It's Aida, Peter and Michelle here and we've just come back from our AMAZING road trip to Grimsby and thought you all might like to hear a little about our wacky adventures.
So, Newman came down from Embrun on Friday to meet Christine. Yeah, not too interesting but whatever. The real fun started on Saturday morning as Peter was left stranded at Leslie station after a miscommunication with Aida's brother (she really left him and tried to run away but we'll let him think otherwise). Then, as usual - don't worry, we still love Aida's driving - she took a nice, long, long road trip to Brampton to pick me up. Aida would like to add that this is courtesy of Peter's navigation. No problems, by 2 o'clock, after a stop for Subway and lots of traffic we finally made it to Grimsby.
While we were making some amazing apple cinnamon waffles, Peter decided he could touch the sky with a little help from Christine's trampoline. We took a 5-second tour (no, seriously it was more like 5 minutes) of downtown Grimsby with it's big, yellow Tiger store which was petitioned against due to its ugly appearance.
Well after having done everything we could do in Grimsby - just a side note, the three of us would like to say that we really did enjoy Grimsby, Christine and Kendal you know we're only joking - we decided to take a spontaneous trip to Niagara Falls. Okay here are some of the wacky highlights: We took a tour on the Maid of the Mist where Aida met Mr. Flappy-Sleeves and Kendal made friends with Mr. Mexican, now being thoroughly soaked what better thing to do than cross the border? Yes, that's right we went to Buffalo where we planned to eat Buffalo wings and Peter called his mother who told him to leave because of shootings. After returning to Canada, Newman, Aida (with her fake ID) and Michelle went gambling - slots are NOT my friend while Kendal, Christine and Peter rode outdoor escalators (a definite highlight of the trip). We finished our trip with a tour of Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum where we all got extremely disoriented in the turning room and Peter yelled at a wax statue to take his picture so he could pass, Aida and Christine just stood there polietly waiting.
We had an amazing barbeque at Kendal's house. Phil took a liking to the dog who kept trying to escape in an effort to save himself. More Grimsby people, friends of Kendal and Christine, came over and we had an interesting night playing Egyptian Spit and watching Peter knock out Kendal in his enthusiasm for the game Catch Phrase. Bridget Jone's Diary finished off the night as we all feel asleep after a long day of fun.
Sunday morning we went to the beach, Peter tried to claim an island (that would actually be the second island of the weekend that he would try to claim) and we took a walk up the Niagara Escarpment. It was amazing and though we marvel at Kendal's ability to RUN up the mountain, it was definitely worth the view at the top.
Overall, we just want to say thanks to Kendal and Christine for an awesome time in Grimsby. It was great guys and we're coming back for sure! and to the rest of you - you don't want to miss this kind of fun again so see you this weekend or Hailey might cry.
Love you all,
Michelle, Peter and Aida

July 14th, 2003
Seeing how I haven't been fulfilling my "always on the computer" nerd quota lately, I figured I'd update the website for kicks. And seeing how you all care about what goes on in my life, you'll all be entertained.
My job has been going well, some kids can be alot of fun; others a pain in the ass. I figure I won't risk it and avoid having any completely. :) Nonetheless, teaching kids computer stuff is very rewarding.
I have also been catching up on my reading. I used to read out of boredom here, and after my Toronto time, the habit has only gotten worse. I am re-reading most of my Kurt Vonnegut books (I know, the language isn't much above an eighth grade level but the humor certainly is... Not only that it can be offensive too!). I finished Breakfast of Champions yesterday; a must read for anyone with a reasonable sense of humor. I'll likely move on to Slaughter House Five tommorow. Hopefully, I'll have it finished by the weekend so I can do some hardcore reading at my cottage. It is absolutely beautiful up there right now. Speaking of which, I get off work the 22nd and I know Christine is interested in doing something in late August. My cottage is available. I think everyone would have a great time.
Among the many other things in my life, I have a urinary tract infection, which I have named Julia. We're in love (Sorry Sheila). I have also had a few interesting experiences with my good friends Warren (aka Jesus) and Kyle. Between seeing the occasion movie, to having very open discussions about sex (Kyle's gay; makes things "interesting"), to learning that a Tim Horton's employee ran her bicycle into a car moving at 80 km/h on a highway (yes, she RAN INTO the car... Not the other way around. Fortunately, she wasn't too badly hurt.) my life has been relatively interesting. All in all, I still miss having you guys around in Toronto, life is controlled for me around here.

P.S. The comment by Communist Duck will make sense if you read Kurt Vonnegut.
P.P.S. I got your pictures T, Thanks alot, they are great. My mother didn't even recognize me with the crazy red-light jazz. Also, thank you Michelle! You guys are the best!

Hey Everyone!
Boo, so I'm at SHAD right now and this will have to be short because I'm about to start a Flash webpage programming workshop in about five minutes. Yes, you know what that means - webpage design overhaul.
Anyway, sorry I can't make it to the Grimsby roadtrip. You better post all the antics/details of your little adventure so we can all read about them.
...waaaaaaaaaaaaa we're starting
-busy, must go...
bye
