Silkroad Online Forums

Looks like my little chat with you in vent didnt pull it off huh?



ffs it just rained like hell today, all the roads are slippery and shit, i was actually like sliding home from my friends house lol

Hahaha, nah dude. you did help, but then remember you said you live in Ottawa. So yeah, im trying to get a Toronto point of view. And of course, when i ask you whats Canada like, and the only response you give before me asking you to say more is "Cold" then i guess i might need a couple of other perspectives XD

Still i wub you!!!

awesome :O should come on the 23 june it's always better XD


ah nvm u speak english lol

pffff UofT, get your ass to waterloo LOL
or else i'll hunt you down in UofT

besides, have u heard that UofT rapes you everyday?

Thats what, 3 people on these boards that live/are based in Waterloo?

Yeah a few people are in Waterloo on the forums

Oh btw key, one radio station in toronto. Z 103.5!!!!!!!!

Care to elaborate on that? O.o...

I also just found out that some friends from here have also applied there. so yeah (:D)!!

I finished school about 6 months ago to date.

It really was a big time in my life. My final 2 years of school were hell. I had a lot of pressure put on me by my parents, i went through a lot of emotional pain with losing close friends and at one stage.. tempting suicide.

In the final 2 weeks before my last exam, it really hit me.. i was going to finish it all. For me it was the best feeling ever. All the stress and pressure was to be gone, i had never felt more happy about anything in my life.

When i finally finished i got a job 1 week later. Ever since than things have turned around a lot. I now actually have money to go places.. so i am enjoying being able to hang out with friends a lot more. With always being busy studying i never had time to go out on the weekends. Im living a more carefree life, the only thing i have on my agenda is to find love.. but thats hardly something i can rush.

So thats my experience of the whole thing. For me it was the most positive thing in my life ever so i hope you can gain the same joy that i have from it. Its quite a shock when your routine for 13 years is suddenly blown away in an instant.

A bunch of trance on that radio station :D

yep, milly is there too ^^

btw KeyJ, what's ur predicted mark? and dont tell me 45

Its great, kj, that you share your life experiences with SRF. Its far more interesting to us than you might think it is. Thanks :]

Still debating if I should continue my IB courses though high school or get my french immersion diploma...bah

IB will make ur life a LOT easier when applying to universities. most universities in canada will let u in if you got 27 points or above. and that translates into a low B in regular class...

on the other hand, life before university acceptance is hell tho, all the crazy essays and stuff

but u do get to enjoy 1.5 extra months of summer vacation since most IB finals are done in mid-May.

I agree completely.

The benifits of the IB diploma far outweigh the costs and time you put into it. I mean, its a two year course, but the majority of the work should be done early. (If you manage your time right). If not, like the majority of us here, these final months. Especially right now, will leave you sleepless, and drown your social life, but once again i tell you that the benifits are way worth missing those parties, sleeping later, working harder ect.

There are those who say that the IB just completely drains your social life, makes you 100% concentrate on work, and pretty much keeps you as a prisoner. Don't listen to these people, they are idiots hahaha. and yes, when it comes to universities, they will like it that you come from the IB system. Because they know are challanged.

@Happy:
Nah dude, i'm not that kinda genious hahaha! Psycho!. I'm doing good, my predicted grades, without my EE+TOK is 32. So in the end it could be anywhere from 33-35. Which is still sitting pretty.

@Pilot:
don't mind, and its nice that you guys have personal knowledge and so on. Which helps me as well. So yeah, i like sharing with you guys 2.

@PB&J:
OF course i can't tell you which one is better, as i havent done them both, but i do believe the IB will be more benificial in the future.

Screw that... 102.1 ftw!

lol Canadian Radio station debate.

Well, guys i ask. What do you guys do for entertainment up there? Lots of outdoors activities and so on?

Hows the night life?

Pacific Mall, Arcade 24/7.

Blue mountain, Loki, Menage, Metro, Wonderland....list goes on. There is plenty to do Key-J don't fright ^^.

geez toronto gets all the good things... i guess that leaves waterloo with the random parties lol.

I know you're pretty stressed out atm hun but I know you'll make it. End of highschool is a remarkable period of your life and honestly, you should enjoy every moment you have because University is just different. I love University too but its never the same feeling anymore.

Oh and if you don't come to Waterloo I'll quit SRF <3 Please don't go to UT. It sucks and you'll regret it because its got OLD buildings and its basically in downtown. Waterloo's got the greatest atmosphere and you'll LOVE the student town here. We can always drive to Toronto for the weekend, enjoy the city and come back. Not to mention you can hang around with me, dommy, Metroid from Hercs and Happy Noobing <3 We can haf SRF party!!

What? No fair Milly. Why you do that to meee!! I'd be happy going to either. I'm still not sure. We will see when Acceptance letters come back.

I'm from Tdot, and it rules. Got the best night life north of the 49 parallel. (that's the US Border, still can't beat Vegas or NY). But the Entertainment district is sweet if the bars are your thing, everything from clubs, to pubs, to live entertainment. We get some of the best bands coming through here. There's Wonderland (giant amusement park), we got a massive underground shopping complex so you can basically walk the entire downtown city core without going outside in the winter because it does get damn cold here. We got a crazy bar complex called the docks, I'm sure you'll end up there. We got some sweet beaches in the summer, I've lived down there playing beach volleyball. Jazzfest is crazy, Carribana is a little more intense, two huge street parties basically. You just won't get bored that's all I can say.

Oh and as for the radio stations, bring an iPod our radio stations suck. It's the same 20-30 songs over and over, although you will have to get up to date on your Canadian bands as due to CRTC regulations all radio stations must have a certain % of canadian content on them, so get to know Billy Talent, Tragically Hip, Matthew Good, Beouduin Sound Clash. But I will say the Drive @5 street mix on 103.5 is slyck.

How did I forget to mention Caribana xD. Some of the sexiest girls get together wearing barely nothing. You gotta love this country ^^.

Hahahaha.

Things just keep getting better and better. Nyaaa!

Man, why cant they send me my confirmation letter already, im dying from suspense!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Key-J, I haven't been on the boards for very long, where are you coming from? What country?

Im'a be joining you guys from the opposite of your climate.

I live in Indonesia. In SEA. Right on the Equator pretty much, but im not Indonesian.

Well not sure what sports you follow there if any, but we have all the major North American ones here, plus a pretty good soccer (futbol) league and you really need to go to a lacrosse game, that is way too much fun. Of course when hockey playoffs start and if the Leafs make it (not this year) then the city goes nuts, kind of like being in Auckland or Sydney while the Tri-nations is on, or the UK or Brazil while the World Cup is on. Of course we've got a pretty diverse population so Toronto gets pretty crazy for those too. Little Italy when they won the world cup was nuts.

Wanna pick me up from noob'ttawa?

Only one campus is "near" Downtown. One is in Mississauga, which is much better then Toronto. Also it's not that old, but old always isn't bad.

Yeah...

feels great, doesn't it??

Great for ya, angel...

Gimme a smaller text and make me mean what I just said!!!*
