What the!? From 75cents wash laundry to a dollar AND 50cents dry laundry to 75 cents?! We’re college students here! Highway robbery to the max! Oh gosh.. I gotta start panhandling or something. This is gonna rob me dry! I’m gonna starve! (Not really.) Maybe I’ll just not wear clothes on weekends or something.
Kidding.
Well then, San Francisco. I guess I have to leave you again. Be back for Spring Break.

Oh jeez! I’ve been slacking on posting what I’ve been doing. Everything I get home, I’m always so tired that I don’t really want to do anything tedious. I usually get home around midnight, then I just go on the computer to either chat or YouTube. I only do late night postings in San Diego ;] Hm.. what have I been doing? Let me try to remember …
Christmas: Before & After
What did I do for Christmas Eve? Hmm .. I left the house at around 4PM to go to the pier with Betty, Angela, Shirley, Jeffrey, and Sabrina. Man! It was raining pretty hard that day. While walking to Pier 39, we passed by Starbucks and saw Edward taking out the trash. Since we were there, we decided to go visit him, but he went to the “back” to do something. He never came out so … we left. Haha. Once we got to the pier, we just went to look at the bay for a bit, then the sea lions. Surprisingly, there were still some out in the open and were “arf-arf-ing”. Someone was hungry, so we decided to go to In-N-Out. We got our food, then Edward came to meet us up. Since I had to go to a White Elephant thing at Jordan’s house, I just got an In-N-Out gift card, then we all left to go take the bus. I rushed to the BART station, then took the BART to Balboa Park where Joey picked me up. He gave me a ride to Jordan’s, then we just chilled, played White Elephant (I got a fleece blanket ), then watched “Bucket List”. It was still good the second time I watched it. Home after that. Nothing big.
For Christmas, I left the house at around 10AM to meet up Betty, Sabrina, Angela, and Jeffrey to watch “Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons“. That movie was pretty good, but not as good as I expected. It was a pretty hilarious too, which I didn’t expect. After watching Benjamin Buttons, we went to watch “Valkyrie“. I actually had high hopes for the movie, but it wasn’t as good as I expected. Eh. None of the movies met up to my expectations! They didn’t suck though, which was fine .. I guess. Haha. After that, Betty and I left to go eat while Jeffrey, Sabrina, and Angela went to watch “Yes Man”. We met up Edward at his house to go to Boudins to have some clam chowder in a bowl. Man, it was pretty darn good. Outside eating + fire place + clam chowder in a bowl = some friggin’ good clam chowder in a bowl experience. After .. we went to 7-11 to get some stuff. Then .. went to Edward’s to wash my hands and use the bathroom. After, we left to go home. I had dinner with my family + grandpa & grandma, then went back out at around 11PM to go to Embarcadero with Edward, Anthony, Sabrina, Kenny, Betty, and Angela. We went to 7-11 again to grab some food, then went to the Hyatt to chill. After the Hyatt, we decided to go to Sabrina’s to SingStar for a bit. Turns out a bit became 3 hours. We left her house at around 4AM-ish?

December 26th
Woke up at Edward’s. Then used the computer for a bit. I woke Edward’s lazy butt up to go eat. Went to Pacific Court at around 2PM. An Duc and Seward came a bit after. Edward decided to go get a haircut. The rest of us went to Pier 39 to chill. Saw some crazy breakdancing people there. Edward came a little later becacuse his aunt’s place was crowded. After we chilled there, we went to Chinatown. Seward went to D&A, which is now called Broadway Cafe, to eat. An Duc went home. Edward and I went to Macy’s to check out some stuff. After Downtown, which was around 6PM, we went to CC to meet up Kenny, Seward, and An Duc. Played basketball until 10PM. Went to Broadway Cafe to have a little snack, then went home.
December 27th (Today)
Betty texted me late last night at around 4AM to go ice skating, but I didn’t see it until like 11AM. Met up Betty at around 2PM at the Embarcadero, but we couldn’t ice skate because of some ” ‘unforseen’ complications”. Haha . We then walked around the Embarcadero for a bit, then decided to walk to Ma’s Dim Sum. Ate at Ma’s, then went to Quickly to grab a drink. Went to Woh Hei to chill for a bit, then went to Downtown to take the L to go to Sunset to Karaoke. Met up Karen, Linda, Angela, Annie, Jeffrey, Devin, Anthony, Kevin, Kenny, and Sabrina at the Karaoke place. We karaoked for around 2 hours, then went to KFC for a bit. After that, took the L back to Downtown, where Linda & I went home. Now I’m here! Oh jeez! So much that I wrote. I guess I’m done for today.
Another winter break is another year of Secret Santa! Okay, lets see.. Secret Santa was on December 22nd. I woke up that day and watched an episode of House on SideReel. I randomly went onto SideReel and clicked on an episode of House to try it out. After that one episode named “Last Resort”, I got hooked. After that one episode, I got dressed and went to Downtown. I had to get a scarf for my Secret Santa, then wrap the presents up. I got wrapping paper from Walgreens, which costed $1.99. I don’t know if that’s cheap or not, but I bought it anyways. The fifth floor of Westfield isn’t the ideal place for someone to be wrapping presents. After that, I decided that I wanted to go eat at Ma’s, so I walked over to the bus stop. I ran into Jenny and Edward (Actually.. they ran into me). Those punks tried to rob my Secret Santa present! Haha. Anyways, I took the bus to Quickly to buy a quick drink, then went to Ma’s. Ordered myself some curry chicken over rice for old times sake. Ate and ate, then started drinking tea. After a while, Jennifer called me while I just about done eating. We chatted on the phone while I was drinking tea for like 30 minutes, then I went to CES at like 4:15PM. Seward, Karen, Kenny, and Kevin were already there wrapping their presents and/or dropping it off. We just chilled there while waiting for everyone else to come. After most of the people arrived, we went to Metreon to watch “Seven Pounds” at 7:15PM. We got there at around 6:00PM so we went to the arcade to play around a bit. When it was almost time, we went into the movie theater. Oh man .. I thought this movie sucked in the first 30 minutes, but it got good and stayed there. What a great movie! After the movie, we went to Chinatown to grab some dinner. Some went to Sam’s Burger, some went to D & A. I got me some scrambled eggs with BBQ pork over rice. After everyone got their dinner, we went over to CES to eat and just socialize. My scrambled eggs were so salty that it made me need to constantly drink water while eating it. Stupid eggs! After everyone was done, we went on to open the presents. That took around an hour and a half.
” Who could this present be by?
To: Edward Young
From: Sabrina Pan”
Yay for secretive-ness!
After the present opening, we cleaned up the place and started taking pictures outside after we closed CES. Some went home after while most went to Edward’s to hang. Some played King’s Cup downstairs while others were upstairs playing Dueces and Gin. After a while, we started playing the “reflex” game or whatever, which turned into free-for-all-spike-the-ball-in-your-face game. Haha. We got some laughs out of it. Everyone went to sleep at around 4:30AM. Jeez! I couldn’t sleep at all! Everyone woke up at around 11AM and I only had around an hour and a half of sleep. Boo! People were hungry so we decided to eat Pho. Got to the Pho place at around 1:45PM, ate, then some went to the Y while others went to CC. Played basketball until like 6, then everyone went home. I went to Betty’s place with Betty. Kevin and Angela were already there watching Titanic. Oh man… that movie is the bomb. I watched it like 10 times. Haha. After that, Kevin, Betty, and I just watched Family Guy on TV. Kevin and I got hungry so we decided to go to Carl’s Junior at around 9:00 PM. Ate, ate, ate … then we went home.
/End
I’m at Price Center East right now. Oh man! I need a break from all this studying I’ve been doing since Thursday. I think it’s safe to say that I’m on study lockdown. I’ve been studying for my Math20B (calculus 2) final since Thursday afternoon until now. I hate locking myself in a room, or sitting on a chair for long hours, but it must be done. Working over math equations and remembering formulas is no fun for the weekend. Now I understand what all the fuss was about when people said finals week is crazy. Back in high school, finals was nothing! I don’t need to study. I could just wing it and still get an A. Now, it’s either study or fail. I’m kinda struggling with my grade in Math20B right now. It’s not that I don’t know my material; It’s because I forget things during the test because of nervousness. By being nervous, I make careless mistakes and I get points taken off. If I final my math final, I won’t be able to go to Math20C next quarter! 
Please let me pass.
I’m currently studying for DOC right now. Ever since week 4, I’ve been slacking in this class and have been getting low grades. I think I’ll come out of this class getting a C+ at most. I hope the final isn’t hard …
Later on tonight, I’ll be taking a sample final that I could print out from my professor’s website. If I’m able to do that test ease, I think I’m ready for the final tomorrow. (My stupid final is at 8AM! 30 minutes after my math final is my DOC final. ) If I still have problems … I guess I have to put in a few more hours of studying.
Thursday: Math studying: 4 hours
Friday: Math studying: 7 hours
Saturday: Math studying: 12-13 hours
Sunday: DOC studying: 3 hours
Math studying: predicting 4 hours
Estimated total time: 30-31 hours (Math: 27 hours DOC: 3 hours)
If I fail, I’m gonna cry. (Or I could just jump off Geisel Library. Haha. Just kidding. Not Funny.)
Roughly how I look like when I study
Thanksgiving break and I’m stuck here in UCSD. The school became a ghost town here from sunrise to sunset. It’s kind of weird walking around with no around; It’s kind of creepy. The dining halls are closed so I have to cook my own dinner, or boil water for instant noodles. I hate not eating dining hall food. It is way better than my cooking. Haha. So .. what did I do for Thanksgiving? I had no plans to begin with. I was just gonna cook steak for myself to eat and invite whoever wants to come eat. During the afternoon, my roommate came back and invited me to have Korean BBQ with him, his girlfriend, and his friends at his girlfriend’s place. I had nothing to do so I said sure. I also invited Angela along. Afterwards, Betty needed to go to Ralph’s so I went with her. I bought some cereal and milk for breakfast, then we went back. I walked her back to her place, then I went back to get stuff for Korean BBQ. It was really good! We did run out of food really fast, but it was still good. Afterwards, Angela and I went to her place to watch Molin Rouge. After watching it, I went back to my apartment and slept.
It’s Saturday and the school is still a ghost town. I barely see anyone walk on the streets or play anything. I did see some people play tennis though. I hate coming home to an empty apartment all the time, knowing that when I go to sleep, I’ll be the only one in it. Other than weekdays, 80% of the time, I’m the only one in the apartment when I sleep. Sucks.
My blog sure is gathering dust. I’ve had so much to do these days that even when I want to update my blog, I forget to or I don’t have time to. Let’s get down to blogging. What did I do for the past few days?
Halloween
For Halloween, Betty, Angela, Seward, Vinson Chen, and I signed up for this thing for MASA called “The Mystery Bus”. You buy the tickets for 26 bucks each, then they take you on this bus for 12 hours going to different places. Of course, they won’t tell you where you’re going. That’s why its a mystery. Haha. Well, I’ll unconver the mystery.
First stop: Haunted Trails
Dude! I have never been so scared in my life! Haunted trails is where they set up sets around the park, then you walk around the trail going to different sets. They got sets from “The Strangers” movie, “Halloween” movie, and just scary sets. The zombies on the bus was the scariest! We had to walk through this broken down school bus with zombies scattered around sitting on the seats with their heads down. You wouldn’t know which one would pop up to scare you. There were other scary ones too, but I thought the bus was the scariest. The also scare you on the path to other sets too. The scary thing is they also follow you. If you run, they chase after you. Jeez!
Next Stop: Laser Tag 15vs15
This was where my Boomer’s Lazer Tag skills came into use. This laser tag arena was so cool! They had 2 levels so you can shoot people below. You can capture bases, kill aliens, and everything. They also print out your stats sheet and rank you out of all the players to see who did well. Rank 3! Best ranked in my team. There were three teams by the way.
After Laser tag: Beach
Nothing special. We just went to the beach at night to play some games and tell some ghost stories. The hotel near the beach was apparently haunted. :X
After that: Bowling
Bowling again. Nothing new. I got a score of 111, darn it! I forgot how to spin the ball, so I had to bowl straight the whole time. How lame. Oh well, it was still fun.
Cha-Ching! Casino!
Yup. That day was the first time I went to the casino and tried out gambling. Never play the slot machines if you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into! I lost five dollars in less than a minute. Actually, me and Seward both did. Gambling sucks! Should’ve played Blackjack.
Final Stop: Some hill
The final stop was a stop on a hill that had a really nice view. We sat there to watch the sunrise and eat breakfast, which was bagel and orange juice.
The mystery bus was the bomb while it lasted. After we got driven back to UCSD, we all went back to our place and knocked out. I got back to my place at 9:00, then totally knocked out until 1PM.
November 1st: Cooking Day
After waking up, I went to eat with Seward and Angela at Canyon Vista, their dining hall. We ate there for a little over an hour, then decided to go to Tilly’s to check out their buy something and get something else 50% off. Angela bought two new pair of Vans. While walking back, we decided to cook dinner that night, so we decided to go to Ralph’s (I guess it’s like a SoCal version of Safeway). We bought Buy-1-Get-1-Free Raw Chicken Tender meat, Oil, 20lb of Rice, 2 Mongolian Beef Seasoning, Broccoli, and onion. Obviously, we were gonna eat chinese that night. Cooking was pretty darn fun. Too bad it was $50 and there were so many dishes to do at the end. Check out Betty’s facebook for the pictures.
Election Day
First time voting was pretty cool. I felt stupid not knowing where to go because all the booths looked taken so I was like, “Where do I go again?” Haha. I’ll just let a picture sum it up.
Obama's Victory
P.S. If you want to know how the haunted trail is like, click here. Then, click on haunted hotel. Then click on Video on the bottom left. The haunted trail is like that, but on a trail.
The Stussy sale came today to Library Walk. I went over to Library Walk around 9:30 simply to get some Panda Express, but I already saw a line for the sale. What the? Do people not sleep in on Saturdays? I obviously have an excuse; I was hungry. People actually wake up early and line up for this? I knew what I had to do. Forget breakfast! I just went to line up with the rest of the people. Getting in was pretty quick. All I had to do was tell them I wear XL (which I don’t), and they let me cut everyone. I stayed there for about four hours because I had to wait for Angela and Betty, then line up to pay for the stuff I wanted to buy. I kept finding tee’s that I liked, but I didn’t want to spend so much money, so I had to nail down to four tee’s. The clothes there were cheap; jackets for 40; pants for 25; tee’s for 10; hoodies for 25.
Stussy
We had nothing to do on such a nice Saturday, so we decided to play pool. Seward, Angela, and I played for a total of five hours. By the end of this year, I swear, we’re gonna be pro at pool. Pool is so much fun. I never thought a long stick and balls would make time fly by so fast. We started at around 4:30, then we ended at 9:45. I think we’re gonna make the pool room our new hangout spot.
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.
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’.
Grade for Fall Fest? Look one line down.
Fall Fest 2008: A-/B+
Well, I’m just at home, counting down the hours before I have to take out my wisdom teeth. Man I’m scared. Oh well. I guess it needs to be done before I go off to college. I won’t be able to eat regular food for a couple of days. :[ I guess I'll take advantage of this boredom and update on what has happened.
Went to the wax museum this one day. I think it was Friday? We were walking around the Pier, then started loitering in front of the wax museum. Sabrina knew someone that worked there and she gave us free admissions in. How lucky, right? Thanks to Sabrina and her generous friend. :] We took tons of pictures in there. The Chamber of Horrors was the best.
We stay Patriotic. Right, Duckie?
After that day, I think we went to the bonfire. A lot of people showed up. I didn’t expect so many people to come. All in all, it was pretty fun. Our fire was pretty small but it was the experience that made it fun. We almost got kicked off but good thing we got Myrna and Eric.
After that day, I’ve only been hanging out for the next couple of days, doing whatever to pass the time.
On Wednesday, Betty and I went to the Aquarium and Aquatic Park. Every time I go there, I always find something different that I missed before. That day was pretty hot so Aquatic Park was boiling. Oh yeah! We also went to see the sea lions. There was this one fat one that kept sleeping even though other sea lions were barking and walking on top of him. Hilarious!
Yesterday, I kinda started work. After work, we went to Subway, then downtown to eat frozen yogurt at Icebee. I didn’t eat any, but their yogurts were expensive. After that, we went to Metreon to loiter. Once again, our loitering paid off. We got free admissions to “College”. The movie was pretty funny. I don’t think college would be as crazy as that though. The guys in the movie might actually exist in college, but the girls? I doubt the girls are that easy. I have a feeling I’ll be so bored at home after the wisdom teeth extraction that I’ll be updating daily. :[
Summer’s been fun so far. Hangin’ out, retreat, dinners, and all the other planned trips. I like having fun and being able to forget all my worries. It’s like a natural high. Haha. Too bad that all those stuff requires money. No money, no fun.
Today, we went to Boomers. Man, it was so fun. We played Go-Karting, Bumper Boats, Lazer Tag, and Mini-Golf. Go Karting was fun; racing with everyone and all. Too bad some black dude bumped our (Betty and I) car while I was racing Seward and Angela. That totally gave them the lead after much hard work of blocking them off! I loved driving the doubles. :] Bumper boats was also fun. Squirting people and teaming up on them really made me laugh. I got so drenched, it wasn’t even funny. It dried up while playing mini golf though. Mini-golf was alright. It was fun when I did good. Too bad, towards the end, I got owned by Angela. I started getting sixes. Lazer tag was crazy! I was totally dominating. Haha. Running across the room and killing everyone without dying really doesn’t get old. :] I think everyone had fun. Everyone seemed to be enjoying everyone else’s company. We should do planned activities more often!
I just had my graduation two days ago. How did I feel? Surprisingly, I had no feelings for it. I was neither sad or happy. I basically felt indifferent. The only feeling I remembered feeling was feeling annoyed that Mr. Wing was so stupid. It kinda sucks knowing that high school is over. No more going to school, saying hey to people early in the morning. No more watching people playing basketball at lunch. No more chilling at Mr. Ring’s after school, playing hours of MJ. I’m gonna miss people. There’s no doubt about that. I’m sure I’ll see all the people I’ll miss though because if I’m gonna miss them, I’m sure we’d hang out some time in life. I still owe David Chan a toss and a dunk in basketball. After graduation ended, I felt relaxed. The dreaded graduation was over. I was surprised to see that no one was crying. I’ve heard so many people saying “I’m gonna cry during graduation.” The pictures were the highlights of the day. It’s gonna be memory etched onto the paper in form of pixels.
What’d I do during graduation day? Let’s see.. ate breakfast with Jennifer, Betty, Kevin, and Edward @ New Regency ? I think that’s what it’s called. The servings were so small, and the red bean ice wasn’t that good. After breakfast, everyone went home. Oh yeah! We saw An Duc along the way going to the 12 bus stop. I went to An Duc’s to drop down my stuff for graduation and sleepover. Kevin came up to drop his sleeping bag. We all got redressed for graduation, since it was so hot and we were all sweating. We had to cool down. Took our gowns and walked to the graduation spot. Took pictures, went in. Lined up, walked into the auditorium, waited. Name was called, walked up, sat down. Waited. Left the room, met with family, took pictures at Grace Cathedral. Met up with friends, took tons of pictures. Went to Sweethearts with Corey, Amanda, Ben, An Duc, Kenny, Kevin, Karen, Edward, Miffy, Linda, Jimmy. Jenny came sometime later. Hung there for a couple of hours. Everyone left to either go home, go somewhere, or An Duc’s. I went to An Duc’s to chill for a bit, the Kitaro for dinner with An Duc, Kevin, Betty, Angela, Edward, Jenny, Kenny, Ada, Kathy, and Richard. Stuffed in Kathy’s car after dinner. Drove to Kowloon to eat dessert. Stuffed into car again, drove to An Duc’s, then played some American Idol Encore. Amanda and Corey came. Jenny, Kathy, Richard, and Ada left. Played some more American Idol, watched Shutter. TRIED to watch Zohan but it sounded weird. Slept at 4:30AM. Everyone woke up at like 10. Hung around, then went to eat lunch with An Duc, Betty, Jeffrey, and Edward at Pacific Court. An Duc’s again, then basketball @ Spring Valley. Visited some old teachers, then left cause some fat lady kicked us out. Did nothing at Angela’s for like 2 hours. Decided to go on a ghost hunt since it’s Friday the 13th. Walked to Cuhan theatre and Geary and Taylor. Nothing, but it looked freaky on the outside. It was locked. Haha. Went to the Marriot to check out what was there and we got free “Yo Yo’s”. It looks like a rubber band with noodles on the end of it. Took the bus to Sutter and Octavia to see Queen Anne’s Hotel. Nothing again cause we didn’t think the hotel would let us into room 410. Walked to J-town. They decided to go to the Army Hospital. I decided to go home since I was so tired from sleeping for only 2 hours. The end. Haha.
Before:
It was just like any other Sunday. I wake up early in the morning to go to church. Had Sunday school, then walked to Downtown to take the 30. The stupid buses kept skipping the bus stops because the buses were full. Darn asians. Got off at Brannan, then walked to Hoogasians to pick up Seward & Betty’s corsage and stuff. Man were the flowers nice. I should’ve picked it for my prom instead! Haha! I’m just kidding, Seward. Walked back to the 30 bus, then took the bus to head to the hotel. Seward ended up on the same bus as me somehow. Got off at Chinatown, walked down to Hilton to check into the hotel. We laid our stuff stuff, then he started watching TV. I haven’t eaten anything at all at that time so I ran out to grab some food. Came back and watched TV with Seward. People slowly started to arrive to get ready. People that came: Angela, Betty, Kevin, Kenny, Jennifer, Annie, An Duc, Sabrina. If I forgot you, I am so sorry! People got ready, then we all went to eat. I walked to Downtown, took the metro to Civic Center, then walked to the restaurant. Man was that a long walk. Ate Ate Ate. After we ate, we walked to City Hall. Along the way, the homelesses on the streets would ask us for money. We just ate … we didn’t have money. Also along the way, we would take pictures. I guess I was the designated photographer, right Annie? Stayed with them until they left, then me and Sabrina took the metro to Downtown to meet up Edward. Walked to 7/11, then the 30 bus to take to Chinatown. I was supposed to buy snacks for the group but Walgreens was closed. We then walked to D&A because Edward had to use the bathroom, then Sam’s Burger for him to buy dinner. Went to a liquor store to buy snacks, then back to the hotel to play Singstar. At around 11:30PM, we left to hotel to meet the group back up again. After the prom ended, they slowly came out. Waited until around 12:20AM, walked to the metro with the group, who are now: Kenny, Connie, Angela, Betty, Seward, Kevin, Edward, Sabrina, Me. Bussed back to the hotel. Played Singstar and random games. An Duc and Annie came back at around 2:00AM? Slept at around 5:30AM. From 5:30AM – 9:30AM, no one really knows exactly what happened, but random stuff happened during that time.
After:
Woke up at around 9:30AM. I only had about 1.5 hrs of sleep tops! Boo! Walked up to Chinatown and took the bus with Seward, Kevin, Kenny, and Connie to Men’s Wearhouse. Returned the tux, then cable car’d it back to Chinatown. Met up the girls back at Sabrina’s house to look at pictures. Left to go eat Pho. After Pho, we took the bus to Helen Wills to play pickup games of basketball for a bit. Played knockout with the girls and some stupid 4 on 4 where guys can’t go in the key. That was a horrible idea. After that, 3 point contest with Seward, Kenny, and An Duc. Winner right here! Haha. After that, took the bus with the group, who was now: Annie, An Duc, Betty, Seward, Angela, Kenny, Connie, Me, Sabrina. Went to Quickly to grab a drink, then went to Woh Hei Yuen to play charades. Everyone went home at around 7:00PM because they were all tired.
Although I didn’t go to prom, I was still broke. How? Ask stupid An Duc, haha. I’m glad everyone had fun at prom. Seeing everyone all dressed up made me miss the Galileo prom. Oh well. At least the hotel room made me feel like I was at least PART of the prom day. Haha. Lame… I know .. boo.
How’s the orange and black look? I’ve been waiting for summer to arrive for the longest time. I’m still a month or so short, but I can still do things to prepare for it. I’m gonna bet that I’ll be getting a lot of sunburns and tans in the next few months. As if I can get any darker, right? Any darker and I’ll look like Kenny
It was Annie’s birthday yesterday, but I’m mentioning it today. Karen, Kenny, Sabrina, and I gave her a nice surprise of whipped cream to the face and fresh-out-of-the-nozzle whipped cream to the head and back. She kept trying to run from me and Kenny, but we caught up easily. Trying to resist is useless, Annie Anyways, happy birthday loser! Hope you liked smelling like vanilla ice cream while going back home. I’ll be watching out for you during the summer. ;]
P.S. About page has been added!
Prom! Whooo! Haha. Anyways, I’ll let you guys in on my schedule that I had on that day.
9AM – 11AM: Stupid UC Writing Exam crap at Lowell. After, Sheldon drove me home. Had to run out to Chinatown early because Edward needed me to surprise Jenny, which he failed to.
12PM – 1PM: Met up with Jenny and Edward and got them checked in to their hotel room. After playing around in there, I had to jet to go pick up the corsage and stuff.
1PM – 2PM: After the long walk to Hoogasians, I took the bus back to the Hilton where Edward and Jenny was. They used the ice box so I had to compromise and use the metal trash bin. Filled it up with ice and put the corsage in there. It worked well.
2PM – 3PM: Asked Kenny to bring my tux to basketball practice. Watched basketball game on TV until time to go to practice.
3PM – 5PM: Practiced obviously. Kenny almost killed my ankle. Worse time to do that, Kenny. Lol. After practice, Ben gave us a ride to get our stuff.
