I finally bought speakers from the UCSD bookstore for my computer. I’ve been getting bored of my built-in laptop speakers. It sounds so terrible; I can’t enjoy my music. Once I bought it, I quickly boarded back to my place and installed it. I plugged this here, and that there, and turned those two knobs all the way up and then BAM! The place had an earthquake Oh yeah .. I totally forgot my apartment-mates were still sleeping, but … they didn’t get out of their room so I assumed they didn’t wake up from it. Anyways, I’m studying for my last final with an bumpin’ music. How do you like my study habit?
Jay Chou has a new album! The album’s name is called Capricorn. I got all the songs to it, but I’ve only listened to about three of them. So far, 2 of them are good to me, which is a good sign. One song I would like to mention is “Shuo Hao De Xing Fu Ne” (Where’s The Promised Happiness?). From the very first second to the very last note, it got my hooked. Be warned! This song is very addicting, as some people may know already. Haha. It sounds like his older songs, but thats why its also good! Thats a plus one if it sounds like all his other great songs.
Jay Chou - Capricorn
Another song I would like to mention is “Zui Chang De Dian Ying” (The Longest Movie). Not only is the song good, but the music video is also good! Take a look at it if you have time. Man.. Jay Chou never cease to amaze me and my ears with his songs.
Mmm! Who would’ve thought Korean BBq was gonna be so good! What is it? I’d say its similar to hotpotting with the grill right below the hotpot… but without the hotpot. Haha. Basically, you have a BBQ grill in the middle, and you toss raw meat on there to cook. It’s so good! Some of the meat tasted like Vietnamese pork. I was like “Whoa!? Isn’t this Korean BBQ?! Why does it taste Vietnamese?” Anyways, I totally raided that place with my black hole-like stomach. They totally found a good way to scam me to eat vegetables. They had me WRAP my meat with the lettuce they gave us. To my surprise, it tasted pretty good! I had veggies all night! (See? I do eat veggies once in a while!)
It looks a little like this. It’s not an actual picture though.

New music? Kanye West has moved up my top 10 favorite artists list! He used to be like … top … 4. Now he’s my second, right below Lil Wayne. If you guys haven’t checked out his new songs, check it out!
Kanye West – Heartless
Kanye West – Coldest Winter
and .. Kanye West – Street Lights
DJ Ironik is the bomb! I love his raps and rhymes; they’re all so nice. I’m not sure if that makes sense.. nice rhymes. Haha. But anyways, he’s one emo rapper. I think most of his emo songs are rapping about this one girl. If you listen to the song “Tracy” and “I Wish“, it sounds like he’s rapping about the same girl. Check out the lyrics for “I Wish”. They’re pretty sick
i need you lot too listen too my story

He’s a new type of rapper that I’ve been listening to. It sounds like hes British, and he’s also not mainstream. (At least I don’t think he is.)
Bang! I thought I would never see that game again! I miss ‘06 and ‘07 summer, where we would play “Bang!” and “Liar’s Dice” in Daycamp until like 7PM. Man, I wish Gordon was here. He’s the only person that can challenge me in a battle of wits during “Liar’s Dice”. Bang was also a crazy fun game. Dustin brought it to church to let us play, then we totally got hooked!
Bang! is a card game where everyone is a character, and a specific role. You’re either an outlaw, renegade, deputy, or sheriff. The outlaw’s objective is to kill the sheriff. The renegade’s objective is to kill everybody. The deputy’s objective is to protect the sheriff, and the sheriff’s objective is to eliminate all renegades and outlaws. This game is fun because you only know who the sheriff is. You have to try to figure out who is who. This game really makes me laugh.
I would explain what “Liar’s Dice” is, but its really hard to explain. It’s a game where you try to out-think everyone, and try to think more steps ahead. I don’t think much people here would like to play that. Maybe Seward would.
Why did I talk about “Bang!”? I went to MASA’s potluck today with Angela, Seward, Vinson, Nathan, and Betty. While I was eating, I spotted Bang! I was like, “Oh no they did not just have bang here”. Instantly, I was trying to gather people to play. Man! It was so hard explaining how to play to people. It was still fun to play. Lots of laughs and lots of yelling. I wish I was back at chuch, playing Bang with everyone else that played back then.
We went to watch Hancock yesterday at the Price Center Theatre. I thought it was going to be some stupid superhero movie, but in the back of my head, I was like “No way… It’s Will Smith!” I knew my homeboy Will Smith wouldn’t let me down. If you haven’t watched it yet, you better check it out. It totally blew my mind because of how the story was. I was like “Whoaaa!” Haha. If I was to rate this movie…
Story: A- Acting: B+ Visuals: B (The special effects looked pretty fake)
For more info, “ch3ck it” here! (Get it? check it.. ch3– ah nevermind)
I haven’t really posted up any new music. I got so much! Most of it is from Akon, so for all of you that love him, this has got to be the best post for you.
Fall Fest was pretty crazy! The first flyer I saw when I arrived to UCSD was the Fall Fest 2008 flyer with the words “Lupe Fiasco” in large print. After reading it, I quickly told Angela, who got interested right away. Today, Angela and I were late to line up, so we had Betty line up for us. Once we reached there, the line was so full that we climbed over the rails to stay with the group. There were three groups playing: We Are Lions, Ben Kweller, and Lupe Fiasco. I thought they were all really good, but some audiences wanted them to hurry up and finish so Lupe would go on faster. I wouldn’t mind listening to one or two more of their songs then, but they finished off with around five-six songs each. Once Lupe got on, everyone started screaming. Of course, he sang his famous songs, “Hip Hop Saved My Life”, “Superstar”, and “Kick, Push”. I barely knew the other ones, but some were also good. He had loads of energy just moving around and dancing on stage. I don’t think there was a second where his dancing/singing looked like he was stabbing someone or beating someone. I’m sure it takes loads of energy to be able to dance like that for around three hours on stage. His energy made the concert so much better than if he was just rapping while walking left and right across the stage.
He gave a really inspiring speech about us making changes and voting. He said it doesn’t really matter who we vote for. The most important vote is to vote for ourselves. We have to wake up from our sleep and start being active leaders.
Since I was at a concert, here’s a song I got from there. The song is called Daydreamin’.
Dude! What’s wrong with stupid San Diego? After class, at around 11AM, the Yahoo! Weather said it was 92F degrees in La Jolla. (Yes, UCSD is not actually in SD; it’s in friggin’ La Jolla) Why is it so hot?! I thought summer was over already! Apparently not. While I was walking back to my apartment, my neck started feeling like it was being fried. I must’ve been out, starting from getting out of class to going back to my apartment, for a total of probably 5 minutes at max. Once I got back, I quickly switched from my black jeans to gray thin shorts. Oh gosh, I gotta get used to this SD weather.
So .. Eagle Eye was the bomb! I’m just gonna summarize it real quick. It’s about this dude and this gal runnin’ around, takin’ orders from this computerized voice. They either obey or bad stuff happens. Bam Bam Boom Boom! Fast forward. The end. In conclusion, the movie was really good. It’s a must watch for sure.
I haven’t posted up a song here for quite some time, so here’s a song I listened to a long time ago but fell in love with again.
Whoa. The school year’s coming to an end already. I could remember like it was yesterday when I was thinking five more months of school was long. Is it me or does all this senior stuff seem unreal? The thought of walking through the stage, receiving my paper that tells me I’m not allowed in high school anymore, and then going on with my life seems … odd. I’m really gonna miss all the friends I’ve made and also all the friends I could’ve made. I regret not being more outgoing and social during the first two years of high school. I was your typical quiet asian that wouldn’t want to have anything to do with you unless you spoke to me. I went home almost everyday after school because I don’t see the point of staying out. After sophomore year, I became more social. Sigh…
Well enough about the end of the year crap. What did I do today? I woke up at 7:45AM to take a shower since I went home at 12:45 yesterday. I don’t like taking showers late at night so … I went to sleep without showering. Eww, right? Well after I showered, I got dressed and walked to the bart station. Barted to Chinatown, then went to chuch to have my Daycamp Leader Orientation at 9:00AM. I got there at 9:10AM so.. oops? Haha. There was no bus! Had the orientation until like 1:15PM. Hung around and started making this pop up card until 2:30PM. Walked to the Salvation Army gym to have basketball practice until 5. Went to eat at Ma’s, then went to Kenny’s house to scan Seward’s picture from prom. Spent two darn hours uninstalling Kenny’s old printer, installing his new printer, and trying to figure out how to work Kenny’s scan function on his new state-of-the-art printer. I fell asleep. Haha. Then .. I went home because I was tired. (:

Oh yeah .. I totally forgot my apartment-mates were still sleeping, but … they didn’t get out of their room so I assumed they didn’t wake up from it. Anyways, I’m studying for my last final with an bumpin’ music. How do you like my study habit?
