November - December, 2003


12/31: yesterday was really fun... met with my cool godbro jeff(yen) and his cuz jessica... jeff and i had our lil car-freak bonding moment again. hehe and then at night i went to julianns house for our cell hotpot. ken wu decided to give me a ride in his dad's '04 solara!! sooooooo nice!! hehe and then before dinner evil karen and christine drew all over my cup and wouldnt let me draw on theirs =( but anyways hotpot was soo good, and afterwards i played scrabble with albert ken and julia (formerly kelley, until she decided to stop playing)... and i smoked them once =). hehe... such a fun game. and then on the way back ken and i thought about stopping at denise's house again in case she missed us too much, but then i didnt have time cuz i had to get home early. so yea... that was my day. and as for today, i went to worship practice for garland/ernest's team (for first night of winter retreat). and then i was supposed to get home by 12:30 and at 12:20 i was still at church, so i kinda um.. drove quickly to get home *innocent smile*. but anyways i was in such a rush cuz i went with carol and my mom to see Disney On Ice at 1:00!! my mom was lucky enough to get 3 free tickets, and they were pretty good seats too. and the show was really good =). o yea and for the people who paid to park in the parking lot (usually $10), sorry but ur an idiot. haha... my mom parked across the street in the lil plaza and it was free =). and its the same distance walk as from teh parking lot, and took much less time to get out aftewards. and then i came home and now im taking a break from packing for winter retreat so i'm writing this entry. but yea i should get back to packing now so byebye!



12/29: quick(hopefully) summary of a wonderful day - woke up at 11, literally 3 minutes before debbie called me and asked me to go pick her and melody up. and they were at.... the rose parade decorations place! haha... at first i didnt want to go that far, then i found out its only like 20 minutes (according to mapquest) so i agreed. so yea... ate a quick breakfast (a cup of juice and a cookie) and got ready and headed out. met with melody and debbie at rose parade and brought them to the mall. first we bought tickets for 1:00 return of the king. yea yea i know, NOW i decide to go see it. honestly i really didnt plan on seeing it since i havent watched the first two (dun kill me!), but i guess debbie and melody really wanted to see it and it would be stupid if i went so far to drive them and then didnt join them in the movie. and we had like an hour before the movie so we wandered around the mall... and it wasa soo fun!! debbie and melody are um... very interesting to hang out with, and they teach u not to be ashamed of running and jumping around in the middle of the mall. hehe... and as for the movie, actually i like it =). and in the middle i got up to use the bathroom and debbie/melody had no clue where i went so they kept tryin 2 figure it out and didnt know for sure until the movie ended and they asked me. and then on the way out of the theater i did teh most stupid thing ever... u know those lil trashcan thingys before the exit door rite? i dropped my popcorn bag (with cup and trash inside) down the hole, then i looked down and realized the custodians took out the trashcan underneath the hole. so i dropped the bag and 2 seconds later its like *BoOM* on the ground. haha... anyways debbie and melody had 2 be bak home by 4:30, and when we got out of the movie it was like 4:30. and they decided to stay even longer so we went to gameworks. and u kno wut i luv most about arcades? theres a pretty good chance of sitting down at a random machine and realizing someone had already paid for an extra game and left it there. i was sittingg on the jurassic park shooting game with melody and suddenly hers jus started working! and she gave me the gun so i played a free game =). and then debbie ran into a few of her other friends... they were cool cuz they talked to me a little, but they were mean cuz they didnt even introduce themselves so i dun even kno their names =(. but anyways then we were jus standing there talking and suddenly this fat guy walks by and hes like 'heres 21 bucks... u can have it' and he gave us a gamecard with 21 bucks left in it. isnt that weird? hehe so obviously we all had a great time at gameworks for a little while. then at last debbie and melody realized its time to go home (to avoid gettin in trouble *cough* hehe). and debbie was so mean she tried tricking me and tellin me to send them back to the rose parade place. and i actually said ok and then melody said to go to her house instead. aAh!! *goes crazy* hehe anyways so i brought them bak 2 melodys place and we said byebye *sniff* gOsh i dun kno when we're gonna get to see each other again, but hopefully soon! and may too... she had to miss out AGAIN cuz shes on vacation *soo sad*. ok... so that was like 2/3 of my day.
i made it bak home for dinner, then at 8 it was time for SPEedZONE! hehe... finally i got to use those coupons. i kno it sounds stupid to go just cuz i want to use coupons, but seriou5ly wouldn't u like to race for $1.50 instead of $6.50? hehe... hopefully they'll have the same promotion next year at the Auto Show, cuz if they do then i'll make sure i take a STACK, then we can go there and party all year =). so anyways, i got there and met with ken, denise, jay and george and we got our gamecards and went to line up. its a good day to race cuz its a weeknight, and a very cold one too, so theres not a lot of people in line. and each race even had less cars than usual. it was sooo fun... i figured since they slicked up the track so much, i mite as well drift for the heck of it, so i did a bunch of turns without braking. and then i ended up right behind denise and tailed her for like 2 laps until she finally slipped out then i passed =). and ken spun out again! hehe only once this time though =). anyways then we all chilled for a lil while then went to in-n-out cuz denise didnt eat dinner yet. and then i dunno wut happened afterwards cuz i decided to come home a bit earlier (since i slept so late last nite).
anyways... now for some more random stuff. im online talkin 2 a buncha ppl rite now and i just found out that tiffany lin was at the rose parade too! but i didnt see her =(. gosh we hafta go hang out sometime okee? hehe... and then while i was at speedzone guess who called me. serena!! i cant believe it... the first time she ever called me! and i missed it cuz i was racingg =(. bad bad me.. pleez call me again soon... ok and one last thing. got a call from garland today askin me to play keyboard for winter retreat worship. i cant believe it... nobody probably knows this, but for several years i've been wishing to get drafted to play for retreat worship sometime. and even though its just one night (the first nite i think... not sure) im still sooooooo happy. hehe... gosh so many good things happened today its not even funny. and i can probably go on forever babbling, but i think i'd rather stop now, cuz im sooo nice to u and i dun want u to be any more bored than this. hehe... so yea... im gonna go now!



12/28: as long as i can remember, there were never as many guests at my house as tonight. i dunno if u guys all know da-tong shru shru... hes the cameraman for UCC so he was with us at the beach trip and the luau and everything... but yea heres the awesome part - this morning he got BAPTIZED!! hehe congratz! and of course, we all thought it was worth a celebration, and the party ended up at my house! hehe... its mostly adults (my moms cell group) but still i was soo excited. i spent most of the time in the computer room watching jennifer stephenie and catherine screw up my computers. hehe... it was really fun though. and then robert came and i helped him more on his bridge project, and he accidentally cut himself on the finger so theres blood stains on his bridge. wow... mr mosig will be happy to see how much work people put into his assignments. hehe... anyways its like past 1AM and people just left. and im just about done putting my computer back to normal after *SOMEONE* changed a bunch of the settings. hehe... well im gonna go shwer then sleep now... tomorrows gonna be a great day cuz i mite go to the mall with debbie and melody! *cant wait* hehe byebye!



12/27: i jus wanna announce that i'll be going to SPEEDZONE on monday night. and guess wut... all my friends are invited! hehe... so if u wanna go jus lemme know! =). i got a couple more of those $5.00 off coupons and they expire on 12/31, so i gotta hurry up and use them. o yea and i just checked three different weather stations and they all said it will rain on monday night. if it does, i swear i'll hate my life for the rest of winter break. otherwise everything should go as planned. hehe...



12/26: i hate RAIN. it freakin ruins everything. christmas was messed up cuz it was raining like hell and so i barely got to step out of the house the whole day. and at night i was like dying of boredom so my mom brought me and carol to pasadena to check out the christmas decos on the rich pplz houses. and it wasnt that good either cuz like every other house there's some nice decoration that got knocked over by the storm. and a bunch of houses had lights that didnt work, so there really wanst anything extraordinary to see. and then early today i went up the mountain to play in snow with stephenie and erica's family and steph(li) and ben's family. and we drove like forever only to find that the road was shut down cuz of flooding. so we went to some other mountain where we finally saw a LITTLE snow, and the stupid security pplz said the entire mountain is for skiiing only. well feck the rules... we all got offf the car anyways and had snowfight in the parking lot. that was pretty fun =). and there was this huge area covered in snow and some people brought their SUVs down to slide around on purpose. haha... drifting with SUVs. looks soo fun! i gotta try it someday =). anyways then we all came to my house to have in-n-out for lunch. and then we jus chilled for a while til everyone left. so yea... that was my christmas and day-after-christmas. but of course, im not COMPLETELY negative about christmas cuz its still a very happy day. and of course, THANX SOOOO MUCH to everyone that gave me presents. i luv all my presents soooo much! =) everything matches me soo well and i think i'll prolly enjoy using everything i got. yupyup... and for those of u who i gave stuff to, i hope u like wut u got! hehe... well i g2g now so i'll end this entry here. merry belated christmas! =)



12/23: like i always say, troy sucks. but at least theres a few parts of it that i enjoyed, one being those wonderful little projects in physics class. and of course, poor robert has to make his bridge over winter break, so he drafted me to help. honestly, i actually enjoy these projects (as long as it duznt require TOO much paperwork). so i spent pretty much all afternoon at roberts house building bridges. and then we watched this movie... i think its called 'count of monte cristo' or sumthin like that. we didnt have time to finish but its soooo good!! gosh i hafta watch the rest of it sometime. hehe... then ken (yeh) comes over to deliver christmas presents for me and carol. he gave me this really really cool book with pictures of cities and trains and all kindsa stuff, all built out of everyday items like scissors and pretzels, etc. and of course, i only know wut it is because its not wrapped. in case u didtn kno, its my habit to not open any presents until christmas morning, with the only exception being when the person that gave it to me makes me open it on the spot. anyways, for the rest of the nite i stayed home and made cookies with carol adn my momy. hehe... i think its my first time ever makin cookies, but its pretty fun =). well thats all i hafta say about today. but one last thing... did u think i forgot about that envelope i got last night? hehe... yupyup its my deliriou5 cds. the saddest thing is that i've been so busy all day that i didnt have time to listen to them yet. but i already opened them, and just by starying at them i know theyre gonna be really really good. in fact, i luv them so much that i decided to take some pictures of them to post here =)


on the left is d:tour (1997 live concert cd, never sold in america), and on the right is world service (limited edition import)

detailed pix of d:tour. as with most of my UK import cds, it came with the little mail-in registration form =)

and here it is... the limited edition "satellite" case that "world service" came in. isnt deliriou5 sooo creative? hehe... and one last thing before i go (its already 1, i should be sleepin soon), i know i say this all the time, but if ur still interested in importing these cds, its not too late. i hafta admit this was the best import transaction i ever had... and their prices are just perfect. d:tour is $12.14, world service is 13.16 (regular case) or 15.86 (limited edition). and best of all, there are NO shipping charges or any other charges. so yea, if u wanna buy one lemme know and i'll hook u up =). and as for now, im gonna go sleep so i can listen to my cds tomorrow! *cant wait* byebye!!



12/22: its like past midnight, and i just got home. hehe... as promised im gonna decribe the awesome dinner tonight. i knew about it before winter break even started... and guess who invited me - denise! wut a surprise... she missed me so much that she had to make sure she could spend at least one night with me during break. and guess where we chose to eat... Red Lobster. im not sure who decided on it, but he/she must be very very smart, cuz thats my favorite restaurant! so first ken(wu) called me in the afternoon to see if i wanted to meet him at the mall first. and i agreed, except it took a LONG time to get ready, so i got there pretty late. and i ran like a maniac to the middle of the mall where he was waiting. and guess who suddenly stopped me... Jackie! aAh soo embarassing!! owellz... anyways then i meet with ken and we drive to red lobster and chill outside in the parking lot. then comes denise (with tiffany in her car... wow denise is actually driving people!?). and denise decides to park her beetle in reverse jus to show off. pSh... and she didnt even come say hi to me and ken until we both moved our cars and parked (in reverse) next to her. and then cheng calls and says he has no ride, so poor ken ended up having to pick him up. and so when we got bak to red lobster it was like 7:30 already. but still... i dun mind waiting for such a great dinner. so heres the list of pplz that were there: denise, madelyn, tiffany, another tiffany, cheng, george, raymond, ken, and me. and we got the same big table that i had the past two times i ate at red lobster. hehe... i really wanted to get the incredible Rock Lobster Tail, except i didnt exactly have a spare $27 lying around. so i stuck with the seafood platter which i still love very very very much. o yea and i had a coupon for free appetizer, and to my surprise the waiter was soo nice about it, unlike most places that are really stingy when it comes to coupons. we ordered like a HUGE appetizer that pretty much filled me up already. o and those incredible biscuits that they serve... gosh i better stop before i start drooling all over again. anyways, before dinner ken made a little prediction with me, and it turned out he was right. after eating, everyone headed over to denise's house! haha... and we played a bunch of games all night. lets see.. first we played mafia, and me and denise were mafias AGAIN!!! *goes crazy* why cant i get just one chance to kill her! haha j/k *angelic smile* and then we played kings, which didnt really work cuz we had too many innocent people (including myself). and then the best game... hide and seek at night in the neighborhood! sOoo fun!! i was the first "it", and when i found the two tiffanys, guess where they were hiding. in front of a garage door. soooo smart eh? hehe... and then me and tiffany partnered for the second round and we hid all the way at the end of the street, and lotsa ppl passed by but nobody found us! anyways then we went bak inside and played more random games... and ata the end i decided to leave cuz it was gettin late. once again, super super fun day, spent lotsa time with my friends adn also met lotsa new friends. im very satisfied =).
sOoOo... i get home and find a buncha stuff waiting for me in the mail. first its a big envelope from a music competition i won... and it says they want my picture and bio so they can put me in a magazine. wow, one more thing to look forward to =). and the other big envelope... any guesses wut it is? heres a hint... its from great britain. well its obviously kinda late to open it now, so i guess i'll wait til tomorrow! hehe... good nite!



12/21: for those of u who think being on the english worship team is easy, try joining one of the chinese ones. im finally back with my aunt(steph and ben's mom)'s team again (cuz i didnt have time to join the last two times), and heres our schedule: today- two morning services, plus evening service. next saturday- worship at some other church that invited us to go. next sunday- UCC Riverside (by the way im doin reality/xperience worship too). next wednesday- new years service worship. *dies* i had no clue it would end up so crazy. but of course its a good thing =).
anyways... about today. thao and i already decided to go eat in the afternoon (during my 3.5-hour break between morning and evening services). so i went to meet her @ HOC. and when i appeared in the driveway it was like the biggest welcome i ever received in my whole life... even tho i dun go to HOC, almost everybody there knew me. first there was holly and henry (we went to have shaved ice with thao a couple weeks ago) and they still remember me. and then there was crystal (yang) from troy and tiffany from Chaparral that still remembers me too! she forgot my name but its ok.... i was soo surprised to see so many familiar pplz. hehe... well at the end we went to life plaza again and had shaved ice. at least its not freezing and raining like it was last time. and i met lotsa new ppl and made new friends too =). and i made it bak 2 ucc just in time to practice a bit more before evening service. wow... very very productive day. hehe... and tomorrow's the long-awaited big dinner at red lobster. i'll write more about that tomorrow =)



12/19: wow... very very fun day. went to walnut high after school to meet the one and only MDM (may debbie melody)! i felt soo stupid cuz when i first saw them i didnt know which one was who. they were stayin after school cuz they all had some interact thingy going on at night. too bad may had to go home so early, cuz me ken debbie and melody decided to go eat at lollicup then go to the mall! and on the way out of walnut somebody suddenly said hi to me... it was tiffany! haha cant believe she actually recognized me even though we only met once and talked for like 2 seconds. anyways then during lunch me melody and debbie played chinese checkers, and melody said she was the expert but she got smoked pretty badly. hehehe and then at the mall we went to watch last samurai... i kno i saw it already but its definitely worth watching again. seriou5ly its prolly one of my favorite movies ever. thao told me that after we watched it (at ucla) it made her want to become a samurai. i pretty much feel the same way except it would be nice if the samurais had wireless internet in their village =). and i guess watching it twice made me love it even more. hehe and then when we got out debbie was in trouble cuz her parents called and she wasnt home. she and melody both called home and said they were at may's house (tsk tsk tsk...) actually ken brought them to may's house pretty quickly and then dropped them all at the interact place. and then i went home too.... o yea and guess wut they gave me for christmas... a candy cane thats shattered into little pieces. i ate half of it and kept the rest in my pocket, and when i got home it was all over the place!! and i had to clean it all up =(. owellz... hehe anyways thats about it for today. im gonna go sleep soon, so i better shut up now!



12/16: a little quick shoutout... the new DELIRIOU5 cd came out YESTERDAY!!! at least in europe... it wont be in america until mid february, but guess who's getting it before the end of this year? hehehe ok enough of my craziness... anyways heres wut my schedule looks like for the rest of the week... tomorrow (wed) - prolly visit betty at the library. thurs - chinese worship practice (night). friday - visit walnut high school (after school), and maybe chill with betty and lucy at night. and then saturday - possibly chinese worship practice again. sorry church pplz, i dun think i can make it to the fundraiser banquet... dun kill me! *runs* hehe anyways, now about wut happened today... im not sure if i mentioned this, but when i was jumping my car after i got back from ucla, i found out that whatever was holding the battery in place broke, so the battery could shift around freely under the hood. aint that scary? i guess its not all that dangerous, except i simply dont like the idea of a huge box of voltage freely moving around in my engine. so yea... yesterday i bought some parts to attach it to the engine. and today i was trying to put it on, and i found out that the hooks that i got were about an inch too long, so the hood wouldn't close. and so i had to cut off that extra inch somehow... but the tools at my house suck like crap, so it was kinda hard to cut off that inch, and i ended up having to light a match and burn it until it melted off. hehe... but at least it worked =). anyways then at night i went with ken(wu) to walnut high's band and orchestra concert. and guess who had a freakin solo... denise!! haha... i cheered for her really loud, not sure if she knew it was me though. debbie was in the band too except i didnt see her =(. owellz.. i'll see her again on friday. hehe anyways, now for the main reason i'm actually writing this entry - finally, i added all the pics that you've been waiting for since september: long beach kayaking, jump5 concert, ken's party, chillin with anna and karin @ ucla, and the thanksgiving banquet. they're all online now, so go check them out! and hope u like them! =)



12/14: so i came home from church today and started building the Christmas Tree... and guess wut i found in the box. TERmiTES. wut a great way to kick off the holiday spirit... hehe well luckily there were only a few of them, and they were only in the box, not in the walls (hopefully). and after killing them, i saved a bunch cuz i know some troy freshmen that will need it... even though its not confirmed, i do plan on visiting troy sometime this week, just cuz i havent been there for so long and theres a few people that i want to see. hehe... anyways then thao called me and i went to meet her at life plaza with her friends henry and holly (from HOC). me and thao felt like such idiots cuz it was freezing cold and we were eating shaved ice =). but it was sooo good... and the funniest thing was when henry knocked over his glass of papayaya milk and thao screamed like someone was about to kill her, and the whole freakin restaurant turned around and stared at us. hehe... very interesting experience. anyways then i came home and finished the christmas decos and ate hotpot with my family, and now here i am writing this entry. again, i expect the beginning of break to be kinda boring, but anyone can change that by inviting me to go hangout somewhere sometime... so please do so!! hehe... im pretty desperate rite now, but i also have lotsa stuff to take care of now that im finally bak at home, so yea i better get to work!



12/11: i dunno wut da hell happened last nite, but my whole plan to study hard and sleep well was ruined... i slept at 11 and didnt fall asleep until 2:30 and i have no idea why... so this morning i couldnt get up at all. and then for some reason the two days of my final just have to be two of the four times it rained this quarter. and rain naturally puts me in a slightly more depressed mood... and honestly i really studied hard. so even if i really do fail this final, i guess theres no one to blame. so anyways now for the good part... the quarter is over, and tonight im goin home and winter break is starting. but of course im gonna be sad cuz i have to leave so many school friends. i wanted to have a pizza party tonight and invite all my friends, just to thank them for being my friends... but apparently the pizza service duznt start until 9PM, so i had to cancel the plan. anyways, as for winter brreak i'll prolly be putting up a schedule calendar soon (on my AIm profile, where its always at), and i hope the slots will fill up very fast, even though the first week or so will prolly be quiet since most ppl are still in school. maybe i'll even go visit a few high schools if i feel like it =). anyways, guess thats all i have to say rite now. my grades are pretty much as close to hell as i'll ever get, and pleez pray that i'll actually pass my classes. to all my school friends, see you next year (and maybe even during break.. hehe), and have a great winter break!



12/09: wow.. sorry for the big delay. so where did i leave off? o yea, mona lisa smile and pride and prejudice are both great movies. after MLS, the three producers came in to do a quick presentation and question & answer session about the movie, and so i found out a lot about the movie i wouldnt have known otherwise. and then p&p... i was SO surprised when i showed up an hour and a half early to line up, cuz there was nobody there and me and sara were the only ones there. and eventually pplz came, but not nearly as many as the other movies. i guess its a good thing, cuz not only did we have good seats, we also came back with lotsa goodies. the MCs decided to cancel the trivia giveaway and simply leave all the posters out on a table for everyone to grab. so i took like a few stacks. very good posters too =). p&p is a great movie but i really think the ppl in charge of promotions did a VERY bad job, cuz its only showing in weird theatres and almost nobody even knew about the movie. but yea, its really a good movie. and i doubt all my posters will sell on ebay, so if u want a p&p one lemme know =).
now for the more seriou5 stuff... finals. took my math test on sunday (yes i had a test on sunday), and i really duno how well i did. but either way, pleez pray for me, cuz im very very scared. i studied hard but for some reason it didnt pay off. hopefully the curve's gonna be high, or at least decent. but for now im jus gonna forget about it, cuz i gotta prepare for my other final, chem (on thursday). lotsa free coffee, smoothies, and various other foods definitely helped me in the past few days, along with being with lotsa friends and studying together. thanx everyone for cheering me up on sunday and always wanting to eat with me and study with me. and please do wish me luck on thursday cuz im quite desperate to do well in chem. hehe... well its kinda late now so im gonna go dormir. byebye!



12/04: as i mentioned earlier, this week is an abnormally fun one. last night i went to watch last samurai for free. tonight i'm seeing mona lisa smile for free. and friday night i'm seeing pride & prejudice (the one that's not out yet) for free. gosh dont you wish you can be at ucla too? hehe... yesterday we planned to get to last samurai very early to line up (since seats are not reserved), but we got there a bit late, so luckily i merged into the crowd at the way front, and thao came to join me and we saved seats for jen and aaron. hehe... and the movie was SOOO GOOD. seriou5ly, go watch it... its worth your money. hehe anyways then i went to puzzles with jen and van at like 12:30 and we chilled at hedrick until 2. but it duznt matter cuz today i didnt have class until 2 so i got to sleep til almost lunchtime. rite now im in the computer lab during the half-hour break between chem discussion and english class. then after class im gonna head back and meet with my friends and head out to see MLS. gosh i cant wait! hehe... well i guess i should start heading to class now cuz its gonna start soon and i dun wanna be late. so um... i'll shut up now! *shuts up*



12/03: again, long time no update. its been a pretty busy week mainly cuz of finals coming up. and for those of u who dont know, i have a stupid math final on sunday, so i wont be coming home this weekend. as of now im planning to return home next week on thursday late night. anyways, even though this is a busy week i'm having much more fun than i usually do. first of all, i finally got the dc++ hub thingy to work. in case u havent heard of it, its basically a better version of kazaa, except all the users are people from the UC campuses. and its not only safer than kazaa, but it has soo much more stuff. and best of all, the speed is simply incredible. ucla-ucla transfer can finish an mp3 in literally less than a second. gosh suddenly i realize that i'm so spoiled. hehe...
i have to mention, though, that the hub has a few rules. first of all, you have to share at least 2GB of files. since my computer's still pretty new, i only have a couple mp3s, and theres nothing else i have that i can share. so i came up with this brilliant idea of creating my own "abstract art" files. first one - "big black box". its simply a 7000x7000 bitmap of solid black that takes up about 70 MB. and the second one - "three hours of silence". literally three hours of absolute high-quality silence saved as an avi. and that took up over a gig. so yea, sharing 2GB wasnt a problem for me =). and for those of u who are interested, feel free to download my stuff and share it. of course, the moderators of the hub sometimes kick me out for having those files. screw them! hehe its not like i really care about getting kicked for half an hour. and besides, its their fault they cant appreciate abstract art =).



11/28: as serena says, happy leftover turkey day!! haha... this update is directed to fans of DELIRIOU5... those of u who went to any of their recent concerts (including harvest crusade) probably remember a really nice worship song called 'majesty' that wasnt on any of their cds. soo... i wonder if that gives u a little hint. thats right... deliriou5's new cd is coming!! "world service" is pretty much ready for release and will be on sale starting february. i know... that seems like forever. but guess wut... i'm gonna get it before the end of this year! hehe... i found a really good source that will import the cds (from england) at a good price. the limited edition version (special cd case) is about 18 bucks including shipping. and to make things better, they might also help me import "D:tour", the cd i've been desperately trying to get for the last several years. its the 2nd of deliriou5's three live cds (live and in the can, d:tour and access:d), and this one was never sold in america. i even tried downloading the songs and couldn't find any. so yea... now i might finally be able to get it. well i think people who read my homepage deserve something special, so if u want to import the cd just let me know and we can combine the order. the cds start shipping on december 15, so i'll prolly be ordering late next week. so lemme knwo if u want one and i'll tell u the exact details and everything. or u can wait all the way til february to get yours! o yea and from what reviews say, 'world service' is a REALLY good cd. gosh... i cant wait!! hehe ok i know i'm crazyk but i'm always like this when it comes to deliriou5 stuff. so yea... i'll stop babbling now. happy leftover turkey day again! =)



11/27: happy thanksgiving everybody!!! or turkey day, or wutever u wanna call it. hehe... just curious, how many people think about the pilgrims at least once throughout thanksgiving day? and how many turkeys were killed for today throughout america? haha... poor turkeys... anyways this is kind of a random update, but i jus cant stand not commenting about it. yesterday i got the new motor trend issue in the mail and i was readin thru the car of the year place. and i hafta say that whoever did the evaluations was smokin something... i know the toyota prius is a really good car... but its really freakin UGLY. when i first saw one on the street i thought it was a modified version of the aztek, especially with the curved back roof (not exactly my favorite design feature). and the other design they loved was the malibu maxx. again UGLY. so which designs to they find questionable? mazda rx-8. ok... it might not be the best-looking car in the list, but without doubt its much better than the ones that they liked. gosh... i feel like writing to them to let them know about this. but i'll probably end up being too lazy to do so. anyways, as i said, this was a totally random update. but once again, happy thanksgiving everyone =). now its time to go to my aunts house for dinner! poor turkey... but owellz at least it died for a good cause =).



11/25: wow, long time no update. jennifer fell down the stairs and sprained her ankle =(. so she went to find the SHA. 7th floor (her floor): sha was drunk. 6th floor: sha wasn't there. 5th floor: sha is gay. well at least getting help from a gay person is better than a drunk person. so yea... hehe anyways about my weekend: friday, went home as usual and cleaned the house and moved furniture, cuz the carpet cleaning pplz came on saturday morning. and then saturday evening/night i was at VOH's special program thingy. charles and his mom's message was REALLY good, except i think they could have focused the audience a bit better, namely separating chinese adn english congregations, cuz the translation really kinda killed the enthusiasm. and i also got to see megan again - everytime i see her i still think back to 7th grade when we were at teh same science group and she was the genius doin all teh work while i was always causing trouble. and now i can actually laugh about it without feeling bad anymore. hehe... ok anyways and then sunday - went to church in the morning and then q noodle with ken wu. and then stayed after to help decorate for thanksgiving banquet. and guess who showed up... kelley! gosh havent seen her in forever!! and i ended up missing the first half of dinner cuz i went to pick up esther. so yea esther u owe me big time! hehehe j/k anyways at the end i left right when the program ended, so i missed the best part (cleanup). hehe... and now im back at ucla. its a little past midnight now and i jus got bak from puzzles with another clam chowder bowl. and im about to go crazy cuz URSA isnt letting me sign up for chem 20b... it says i dont meet the prerequisites but thats not true! so yea im gonna talk to the professor tomorrow and it better help =). anyways im hogging jen's computer so i wont write TOO much... and besides i think i should finish eating anyways. hehe... so yea i'll shut up now. o yea and one last thing - for thanksgiving break im goin home tomorrow nite and i'll prolly end up with a lotta free time, so if u wanna go do anything lemme know! hehe... ok i'll go now byebye!



11/21: my mom picked me up at 11:30 as usual... except she said there's big traffic on the freeways so we decided to take wilshire all the way down. and guess where we end up: Beverly Hills. so of course i sit up and start looking around and admiring all the nice cars. and i mean REALLY nice cars. at least a dozen ferraris... an aston martin vantage (first time seeing that on the road... soooo nice!!), and then i passed by this car showroom and guess wut was inside. 2 murciélagos and a JAGUAR XJ220. not kidding... beautiful silver xj220 only about 20 feet away from me. pesonally i always thought it was one of the best exotic cars ever... and today i finally get to see it in person. i almost jumped out the window when i saw it... ask my mom if u dun believe me. hehe... well yea anyways enough about cars. well the past couple days have been just as fun as the first half of the week. lets start with wednesday...
i went to dinner with jen, and then we went to chill in her room for a few hours. and then thao called me and told me there was 50% off boba sale in westwood. so of course i screamed, and jen and van (who was also in the room with us) both heard and they wanted to go too. so first they finished some homework, then we went to van's room cuz she needed to get stuff. we took different elevators on purpose, and jen and van THOUGHT they got there before me, so they attempted to scare me. except the elevators aren't exactly soundproof, so i could hear them plotting before the door opened. and apparently i got there earlier than they expected, so jen's back was facing me (she didnt expect the door to open so soon), and when she turned around i scared the crap outta her!!!! *laughs soo hard* hehe anyways we went to van's room and then to my room cuz i needed to get my jacket. then we walked all the way to westwood to lollicup. and there was like nothing special going on at all. and then we went to the boba place next to lollicup, and there was still nuthin special. so we called thao... and it was then that we found out the sales ended at 10. and it was 10:15 when we got there. grRrRRRR...... so yea i was like about to cry, and we jus sat down at a random table outside and talked for like a really really long time, until jen said it was getting cold, so we got up and walked. next destination: Rite Aid! i luv that place... theres soo much good stuff to look at there. they had these stuffed animal kittys that meow when u squeeze them, and i kept squeezing two at a time for synchonized meowing... and it sounded sooo funny. and then we looked at candy and hair stuff and um.. .alcohol. dun worry, we didnt stay there all that long, although jen seemed to know much more about alcohol than we thought she did. hmm..... hehe anyways we didnt really wanna leave the store empty-handed, so we ended up getting a huge 3-liter bottle of coke (for 99 cents) so we could enjoy it after getting back to hedrick. and i followed jen and van out of rite-aid, and even though they said they were going back to the dorms, they started walkin the opposite direction. it was sooo funny... i jus followed quietly for a while then commented and then we turned around. haha... so anyways we finally made it back to hedrick, and chose an empty study lounge to bust out our drinks. o yea and wut about cups? no problem, puzzles was on the way so we jus grabbed a couple empty cups adn walked out =). so yea... all that walking, and at last, a couch and some refreshing cups of COKE. very very refreshing, even though it was midnight already. but at least we all had fun walking down to westwood. so we jus stayed in the lounge until i finally decided i shoudl go sleep, then i left adn went bak 2 rieber.
and now for thursday... i went to thao's room at night to watch shaolin soccer with jen and david. i felt so stupid cuz thao told so many people about it and i was lik ethe only one that never heard of the movie before. its like some canto movie thats um... pretty good. some parts were kinda stupid but overall i liked it =). jus try to imagine martial arts and soccer combined into one, and you'll get a feel of wut its like. hehe... so anyways we started watching at like 10:30, so once again i stayed up at hedrick til past midnite. gosh my friends are such bad influence on me!! hehe j/k... at least im back home now and i can sleep a lot more. anyways, its 8:00PM rite now and i have lotsa work to do, since tomorrow morning the carpet cleaning pplz are coming so i hafta help move all the furniture tonight. sounds like fun huh? hehe... well i gotta get to work rite now, so guess i'll stop this update here!



11/19: u wanna know the strangest thing ever?? ok remember how i said i met jessica on the first night i moved on campus rite? well to be honest, the first moment i saw her i thought she looked somewhat familiar... but i figured i was jus hallucinating or sumthin so i let that thought go. well last night we were chillin in hedrick and we talked about piano, and then we figurred out the weirdest thing - we DID meet each other before - for about 1 minute (literally). two summers ago, i was at SYMF (competition), and i ran into my friend alex hsiao, and he was with his friend, and so i said hi to both of them and the three of us talked for a little while before going to our competitions (different categories). and guess who that third person was... jessica!! it sounds kinda freaky.. but its true. we both remembered it was cloudy that morning, and we both remembered that she was wearing pink. gosh... this is sooo weird. maybe i should start thinking harder next time i see someone that looks familiar. well anyways, now about my weeek so far. aside from midterms, this was probably the most awesome week ever... soo much fun stuff goin on =). first of all, i got to hang out with jen a lot... and she has roller coaster tyoon 2 on her computer!!! so yea, i was killin a buncha ppl last night by making them fall off roller coasters. hehe... and i got to talk to aaron more, and i met another cool friend named van. we were all chillin in jen's room last nite until like really really late. its amazing how im not very tired rite now, since i barely slept last nite. but yea... thats all for today. o yea and good luck on midterms to everyone who's not done yet! hehe.. i'm already done, so from now til thanksgiving its all partying! hehe...



11/17: chem midterm is over... i think i did pretty well, at least compared to the last test. and rite now theres really not THAT much to study for math (midterm tomorrow evening), so im takin a break to write about the party =). first of all i was at church for worship practice, and ken was there too, so we went to have phó in diamond plaza for lunch, then went to get the cake and stopped by my house to pick up some stuff, then went to his house to help carry the food. and then we all went to stanleys house where the party's at. hehe... most ppl didnt show up until much later though, even though the invitation said to go at 2. so me, ken, stanley, and albert played GT3 for a while until more pplz came. and of course... guess who had to show up - DENISE! haha... and she missed me so much that she wanted me to go to baskin robbins with her and she even gave me one of her 2 free-ice-cream coupons. of course its cuz i was the one that first gave them to her. hehe... so yea, thats wut we did. we had ice cream and came bak jus in time to start games. mafia was really fun, and i could tell denise really wanted to accuse me and kill me off first, except we were both mafias! and at the end she died and i didnt =). hehe anyways then we played kings - lotsa interesting scenes there, but i'll let the pictures speak for me when i put them up soon. all im gonna say is that denise got picked (coincidentally) THREE times in a row, and chickend out on the last time. hehe... o did i mention i was king on the last time? =) ok anyways and then dinner - we were gonna go BBQ at da park, but since it looked liek it was gonna rain we decided to stay at stanleys house and eat while watchin Speed. and then at the end a lotta ppl had to leave, and ken had to go too so i left too. and it was only like 9, so i actually got to go to cell still =). cell was really fun too... we played pictionary and at first i was helpin my team (the guys) pretty well, and then steven was drawing a hanger and i yelled out "DUCK!" haha... seriou5ly though it looked so much like a duck before he finished it. and at the end the guys still won (muahahaha....) hehe ok well i guess thats all i have to say for now. o yea, i forgot to mention that in the next couple weeks my weekends are pretty much free, since the chinese praise night i was supposed to play for got canceled. so yea, anybody wanna go do anything, feel free to invite me! hehe... well i g2g back 2 studyin now! bYe!



11/16: wow... seems like a while since I wrote here. first of all ken's party was really fun... but since its almost 12:30 (midnight) i think i'll write about it tomorrow after my chem midterm. so yea, i came back to ucla at about 4:30 and went straight for my bed... then woke up and studied and ate dinner adn studied more... and then i IM jessica for the first time. i met her on the first night with marcus and all the other cool hedrick pplz... and it was sooo weird how we ran into each other again. i was waiting for emily to go to the library and so i scrolled down my phone book and saw jessica.. and i suddenly realized we havent talked since week 1. and then about an hour later when i went to dinner with emily, there she was! haha... and we didnt exactly recognize each other at first, but we both knew that we met before. and then we re-introduced and so on... and it was like 11PM and she asked if i wanted to go to puzzles (cuz she has extra meal swipes that expire at midnight)... so i agreed. and then i met her cool friends jen and aaron on the way there and they both remembered my SN =). so now we're all talkin online, and its midnight and im sitting in front of my computer with a clam chowder breadbowl and jumbosize rootbeer. o and my chem notes. hehe... yea i know its soo bad pigging out at night, but jessica used her last swipe of the week on me and i feel sooo bad if i waste it. so i'll finish eating then study more then go sleep!



11/12: i was in teh study lounge with sara, and emily opened the door from behind and tried to sneak up and scare me, and i turned around when she was right behind me, and she started laughign soooooo hard!!!! gosh that was such a funny moment. hehe wow i cant believe i spent a whole entry just to write that. but owellz... o yea and the ucla internet is bein stupid... i think all of Rieber is havin problems, but geocities still works =). so yea.. das all for now... gonna go sleep, bYe!



11/11: today was soooo fun!! hehehe anna and karin came to visit me at school! =). we went downtown for a little shopping... and at the end anna was tryin 2 start a conversation (in chinese) with one of the shop owners and then try to get a better deal. and then suddenly she found out her wallet was gone. so we ran back and finally found it, cuz luckily the store that she left it in found it first and kept it at the cashier. and then when we left we had a lil arguemnt with the mexicans at the parkign place, cuz they were tryin 2 rip us off and wouldnt give us the extra money back. i swear.. if it wasnt for the sake of anna, karin, and annas new accord, i couldnt have possibly left the place without at least a LITTLE damage. hehe... and then on the way back to UCLA we missed the entrance to the 10 ffreeway and so we got lost for like half an hour, and then finally found the way back. and then when we were near campus we got lost AGAIN! haha... but at last we foudn it and so we went ot my dorm then to eat and everything... and then they left! *sniff* gosh they have to come back to visit again soon! hehe... ok well das all for now... im tired so im gonna go sleep now!



11/10: *yawn* sOo tired! haha... cell sleepover was really really fun, and during service yesterday everyone was fallin asleep.. it was soo funny! and so when i got home i slept like crazy until i got bak 2 school. and then at night i went to westwood with sara to watch Matrix Revolution! its actually not as bad as everyone says it is... go see for urself. hehe well it was like 1AM when we got bak to rieber. and so today after lunch i slept and slept and slept until almost dinner. hehe... gosh my sleep schedule is so messed up now. owellz... its 11:46PM rite now and im waitin for emily to finish studyin, then we're gonna go play piano for a while. and tomorrow is holiday and guess wuts gonna happen... karin and anna are gonna come visit me!!!! isnt that sooo amazing? hehehe im so happy its not even funny anymore! tomorrows gonna be so fun =). whoa u kno wuts so weird? rite when i mentioned emily, she IMed me and said shes ready to go. so im gonna go now! *leaves



11/07: wow.. i think tis is the longest time i ever left home without my family. gosh its great to be bak in my room =). and the weirdest thing is that everytime imm comin home from school i always see the coolest cars. hehe... 2 weeks ago i saw this transporter carrying a green evo 8 and purple eclipse, both riced up. sound familiar? thats rite... i swear they were the very two cars used in 2fast2furious, prolly bein transported to a car show somewhere. and then today i was on my way home and saw another transporter, and guess wut was on it - a morgan aero 8!! and i hafta say that thing is sooooooooo nice!! is it even on sale alreadY? i dunno.. but its not like im actually gonna buy one so yea... hehe o yea and did i mention i saw an aston martin too? =) anyways enough babblin about cars. im finally back at home and theres sooo much stuff to take care of, so i guess im gonna be occupied for pretty much the rest of the day. hehe... so yea, i'll shut up now. bYe!



11/04: guess wut... i watched ELF today!! haha i kno i kno.. its not even out yet. but i saw it anyways, thanx to sara who invited me and told me about it. the movies actually pretty good, so go watch it when it comes out =). o yea and i dun think i mentioned sara here before, but its about time i do. hehe... me, her, and emily (her friend) met in the weirdest way ever. a couple weeks ago i was eating breakfast by myself as usual, and suddenly this random girl jus comes and asks if she can sit at my table. so i said yea, and she went to get her food and sat down, adn seh didnt say a word. and i was like half unconscious in the morning as usual, so i didnt say anything either, even though it felt sooooo weird sitting together and not talking. and that went on for quite a while, until another girl came to join us. and she was soo confused cuz neither of us said a word when she sat down... so she spoke first and introduced herself - sara. and THEN emily told me her name. haha... but yea they're both from rieber 5S so i see them a lot and we always eat together adn stuff... and now i decided to make them feel SPECIAL because they were sooo nice to me. thanx sara for invitin me to see elf, and thanx emily for signing my guestbook yesterday! hehe... well its gettin late now and i think im STILL lacking sleep from canada, so im gonna shut up now! good nite!



11/03: its 3PM rite now and guess wut... im bak in the USA!!!! hehehe... canada was sooo fun even though im so freakin tired now. and by the way, sorry if the grammar on the last entry seemed kinda un-calvinish... cuz the office computer was in chinese and i couldnt get the font working properly. but hey... at least i tried =). anyways, a quick (hopefully) summary of everything that happened on the trip:
FRIDAY: uncle samuel (video) and wayne (drummer) came to pick me up from school and brought me to LAX. on the way the car's nav system went crazy and started telling us weird directions. we later figured its cuz we inputted the WRONG AIRPORT. hehe isnt that smart? well luckily we didn't follow the wrong directions, but we were still pretty rushed on time, so after meeting with Clement and our guest singer (i dun kno her english name), we pretty much checked in and got on the plane right away. and we were literally the last ones to get on, cuz right when we sat down they closed the doors and announced that we're ready to depart. so we waited in a long line of planes until it was our turn on the runway, then we fleeeeeewwwwww high into the sky and ate lunch 10,000 feet in the air =). the food was um.. not too good. the server even warned everyone it was an extremely cold and dry sandwich. and he wasnt kidding. but i guess its not THAT bad, even though uncle samuel felt a little sick afterwards. anyways, we arrived in vancouver as planned and rented two Windstars (our bandwagons for the weekend), then went to meet with the rest of the crew at the Passing On Mission office in burnaby. we had a little time of prayer for the concerts, then the non-band-members went out to dinner first while everyone else stayed for a rehearsal. yea i know... rehearsing already? i didnt really expect it either. but i guess ish very helpful, cuz most of the people were new band members recruited from canada, so we never worked together before. o yea and as for the keyboard, POM rented a korg sp100... still pretty good even though not as nice as the 300. but at least its still a korg =). and this time it didnt break down!! hehe anyways then after practice, me, wayne, the music director and pastor lee (hmm... is there another word for a female pastor? pastress maybe? i dunno but anyways im jus gonna refer to her as pastor for now). to do a little shopping at the huge metropolis shopping center. then we had some soup and went back to pastor lee's house where we were staying. and teh ppl who went to dinner earlier saved us a LOT of good food, so we were all pigging out like crazy. and then we got to see the place we were gonna spend the night. it was um... kinda like a basement, but a VERY VERY NICE basement - very small (heightwise), but it still feels like a small home. and me and wayne got a huuuge room by ourselves, and it was pretty scary cuz since its underground, its entirely dark 24/7 when the lights are off. but it was really comfortable, especially with the heater on =). no need to mention that canada was SOOOOOO COLD. in the morning it was below freezing temperature... and i was like dying!!! but anyways, thats the end of friday. now for saturday:
SATURDAY: i had no clue wut time i woke up, since the room was dark day and night. but i guess it was like 10 something... and uncle samuel, me, and wayne went up to the kitchen for breakfast. then everybody gathered to pray and begin the day. then we all headed out to the office again to chill until it was time to go to the first concert site. i spent a little time looking out the 4th story window, and if u know me well enough it shouldnt be surprising that i was checkin out the cars. hehe... yes there were a few cars that the states dont have, and i found that abnormally fascinating. first they had the acura EL's (luxury equivalent to the civic, the most recent 2 generations)... and they actualyl look pretty nice. then they had sunrunners - a pontiac version of geo trackers. o and they had gmc trackers too. and then they had these really unique-looking hatchbacks that took me a while to figure out wut they were - ECHOs!! yup... 3dr and 5dr echo hatchbacks, and to be honest, i think they look pretty sweet =). ok well i think the point of this entry isnt really about cars, so i'll move on with the rest of the day. the hard work began in teh afternoon when we had to load a gazillion boxes of instruments/merchandise/equipment onto our vans. both windstars had only the two front seats left, and that was barely enough. and then we all went to the church to set up/soundcheck. its actually a non-chinese church that POM rented for the occasion, and even though their sound system wasnt all that great, the place definitely looked nice =). o and they have the coolest drum set ever... instead of havin a transparent wall to block sound, they literally built a see-through house over the entire drumset, with a roof and a little sliding door to enter/exit. i heard it was pretty stuffy in there, but i would imagine its a good thing compared to freezing outside in the cold. hehe... anyways then the concert - it seemed a lot more orderly than the California shows, and that helped me a LOT since i was playin piano and that was pretty much the main instrument. actualyl we had another keyboardist (from canada) on the team, so i was assigned to play piano for the first half, then switch to keyboard, while hte other keyboardist switches to vocals. o yea and the audience turnout was totally awesome... full houses both nights, prolly 500-600 people each. i got kinda nervous everytime i realized i was playing for a concert all the way in canada. and i guess the flight kinda gave me some dizziness. i forgot wut that word was... but basically i get sporadic dizzy feelings throughout the day like i'm still on the plane. it was relaly weird but i still lived thru it. and the biggest mistake i made - while moving to the keyboard, i forgot to take my music with me, so i didnt know the key that the last song was in.. and since i was WAY too dizzy to thinkg straight, i jus pretended to play after muting myself. hehe... well it was a good choice, since it turned out i was playin in A while the song was in F. but owellz. hehe... anyways by the end of the concert, everyone was SOO HUNGRY cuz we barely ate all day. for lunch i had a bao-dzz, and for dinner we all got a lil piece of bread to stuff ourselves to last thru the show. but even after the concert, we couldnt quite leave, cuz we had a lot more work to do - CLEANUP. gosh that was definitely not my faovirte activity. it was like 2 degrees (celcius) outside, and we had to load all the stuff we brought on the vans again. and that took like FOREVER, especially since one van already drove off to bring the elderly pplz home to rest first, and so all the gear had to fit in uncle samuel's van as much as possible, and the rest was stuffed randomly into our other cars. it was so crowded we had to put a few boxes inside the big chinese drum. hehe... well we finally got everything loaded, and so we were finally ready for DINNER. yupyup... went to a nice chinese restaurant and ordered lots and lots of food and we all ate like crazy. and it was like 1AM when i returned to my little basement room and went to sleep.
SUNDAY: slept in pretty late again, then had a little breakfast followed by an immediate lunch (the ppl who woke up ealrier were already there eating). then we went thru the usual routine... go to the office, bring stuff down to the cars, then go to the concert site. even though we didnt even unload after yesterday, there was still a lot of stuff to carry - first of all we had a buncha CDs/songbooks/stuff for the merchandise table. then we had to bring down the DRUM SET, since the church didnt have one. so yea... we went there and set up everything and soundchecked and blah blah blah... and then pplz came and started lining up outside just like yesterday... and tehn they finally let them all in and the program began. i wasnt that nervous today cuz yesterday kinda helped me warm up. but then again i wanted to do extra well, cuz i know its the last of the 4 concerts on this tour. and on top of that, my head was STILL drifting aroudn sporadically. but i think overall i did better than the other concerts. and as usual we (as a team) had little mistakes here and there, even though we just laughed about it afterwards. and at the end, even though we had to fix the stage like we did last night (tonight was much worse cuz we had to clear a LOT of stuff they had on the stage before), we were all really happy cuz all our hard work was finally over =). so we went for another big chinese dinner and ate like we fasted for our whole lives... then a few of us went back to the office to help unload. and me, wayne, and uncle samuel waited in the office for clement until like 1:30, and he still had a whole lotta business to take care of, so by the time we got back home it was like 2:30 and we didnt shower or anything... or at lesat i didnt. i jus ran straight for my bed, i mean, blanket, and i had no clue wut happend afterwards.
MONDAY (today): as i mentioned earlier, this trip was EXTREMELY BUSY from beginning to end. we didnt have time to really relax and enjoy the 'vacation', but as uncle samuel says its part of bein in the 'entertainment business', and i guess in this case its a good thing =). last night, one of the many stops clement had to make was at his parents house (to grab the stuff he had to bring back to california today). and guess wut he forgot.. his PASSPORT. hehe... very very smart. so yea, we all got up at 6:30 in the morning and went to get his passport, then went to the airport to get ready for our flight. i guess da biggest drawback of this trip was that there wasnt much time to even get to know the ppl on teh team very well. but i got to talk with a few of the other instrumentalists and i learned a LOT about canada while they learned alot about LA. hehe... o and for those of u who didnt know, canadians DO celebrate halloween!! i didnt know that until i walked by the mall and saw all these costumes on sale. and there was this one house that was entirely transformed into a haunted house... right across the street form a school. isnt that scary? hehe o yea and a couple other things i wanted to mention about canada - have u ever seen a flashing green signal light? hehe... i was so confused when i first saw that. it basically means there's no signal at all... not as confusing as it seems, but took all of the californians a while to figure that out. and they have the coolest pedestrian signals... instead of just 'walk' and 'go' signs, they have a display that counts down 30 seconds, so ppl know exactly how much time they have to cross. isnt that smart? i wish they made those here too! wait.. how da heck did i get into talkin about traffic signals? haha anyways there a lot more to say, but if u wanna know jus ask me cuz im sure this entry is boring enough as is. basically wut happened for the rest of the day - clement, wayne, uncle samuel, and i ate breakfast at the airport then got on the plane (we were the last ones to board AGAIN) and flew back to LA. o yea and i took a lot of really really nice pictures from the sky, so im gonna put them online eventually (cuz uncle samuels gonna give me a lot of his pictures too). so the plane flew and flew and landed at LAX, and then uncle samuel sent me back to school, and here i am right now! hehe... gosh i jus realized i've been writin for over an hour. im soo sorry... didnt realize i would babble THIS much. but yea, if u wanna know more about the trip, feel free to ask me anytime =). meanwhile im gonna go call up some pplz now... bye!



11/02: hi!!! wow this is my first time using a computer in canada. hehe... im in the passing on missions office rite now and we're gonna head out to the concert site pretty soon, so meanwhile im takin sometime jus to say hi to everyone whos actually checking my homepage while im gone. hehe well i dun have much time to write in detail now, but the past few days have been very very busy. in a good way though, cuz last night's concert was great, and i hope tonights will be the same. gosh... cant believe my time here's almost over already. tomorrow early mornign im gonna be at the airport ready to go back to california. so um... a couple shoutouts before i get going -to my family/friends at UCC, hope ur havin a great time without me. And to my friends at ucla, hope ur also havin a great time without me. And the same with everybody else,¡@I¡¦ll be bak tomorrow afternoon/evening and I g2g now, bye!!



BACK
