 KL> Emmm... I think we were on the "sexuality" topic and you mentioned

 KL> almost midnight and I probably don't know what the hack I'm talking
 KL> about.
I vaguely recall that movie but I don't remember what it was about.
Nonetheless, you are right. I think schools fail to teach morality as it
is very difficult to teach since it is quite objective especially when the
kids cannot really philosophically reason out morals. A lack of teaching
tends to foster "twisted" morality. I think this is very evident in the lack
of respect kids show for authority.
 
 KL> delivered sometimes, and other times it's real fast. (sorta like
 KL> Canada Post).  Yeah, I looked at the High_Ed echo too, it's WAY too

Well, as long as the moderator doesn't mind......

You're taking (took) English?? As soon as I got out of highschool, I vowed
never to take another english course unless I had to! However, now when I
look back, I wish I had enjoyed english more....perhaps then, my english
would be better than it is now :].
If you think you did "so-so" on your exams, then you probably faired better
than average. If your parents complain, show them the average of the class :].
I remember always going into those exams thinking "I'm gonna fail! I'm gonna
fail!!". After the exam, I'd come out thinking "I failed! I failed!!". 

 KL> So how was your X'mas?  Mine was great!  I called up couple of my
My Xmas has been pretty okay. I spent most of the beginning of my holidays 
looking for a present for my Mom...with the help of my brother of course.
Then, I spent most of the other time eating....either at someone elses
place or we would invite others. I think all those friends from church wanted
to invite us so that this Christmas will go by a little easier. So far, it's
working. It's nice to have friends that sincerely care. I guess we're very
lucky to have many friends who are so sincere. So how many different families
did you visit? Think you'll gain any weight after all this is over? I'm sure
I will :]!

 KL> best high school (some go to UofC, some go to MRC) friends and we
 KL> went out for cheessecake.  We had SO much to talk about.  It was
 KL> sorta like a reunion (at least it felt like one).  It was a blast!
Isn't it great to see your friends from highschool and share your experiences 
at Univ.?! Some of my Univ. friends were going to get together for a "reunion"
and go skiing. Alas, it's been raining for the past 2 days, and everybody
has last minute events to go to. Oh well....there's always next Christmas....

I think I better get started on the homework that I had set out to do this
holiday season....yes....I have homework. I have to catch-up on my 
Waterloo correspondance lectures. I've got that exam on Jan. 23 and I've still
got 8 lectures and one assignment to do!! 8 doesn't seem like a lot, however,
there were only 20 lectures total! Yes....now you know why they call me
"Mr. Procrastinator" :].

 KL> That was on the 25th.  On the 26th I went to this party of dad's
 KL> friend close to my house.  He's my dad's doctor and that was the
 ......
Yeah, aren't those stories great. Strange as it may seem, I like listening
to those stories...and then count my "lucky stars" that I'm not in that
kind of situation. Sometimes they can be quite encouraging. You know....even
though they had it so tough, they still made it. Relatively speaking, we've
got it easy. Hmmmm.......your doctor's a friend......needless to repeat, I've
had a bad experience with one of those. Whatever you do, don't be afraid to
scrutinize his diagnoses and/or methods of examination. If you ever doubt
his judgement, don't be afraid to get a second opinion. Knowing chinese 
people, they (your parents) may think it's impolite to ask a second opinion
especially if your doctor is a friend. Well, just remember that you're
putting your lives in his hands! BTW, I'm not sure if I told you, but I've
filed a complaint against my former family doctor to the College of 
Physicians and Surgeons. I haven't heard from the College for quite a while,
and the doctor didn't send us a Christmas card so I figured he got a copy
of the complaint.

Pretty funny....but watch it....don't let it get too carried away..:]
