Sometimes when people are having a conversation they'll be like "Oh yea! It's just like Lord of the Flies!!" and I will know what they are talking about but sometimes they will be like "Oh yea!! It's just like Animal Farm!" and I will have no idea what they are talking about.
Because I need to prepare myself for all of life's situations, I have found a list of 'must read books'. I feel this list I found is more manageable than a 1001 book list so I found this '100 Must Read Books: The Essential Man's Library' because I am a real man.
The link can be found here.

If you didn't know
2 days ago a 4th person in my school committed suicide. (A 3rd person did it at the beginning of the year but I didn't post that I think. There was also another attempt).
Don't want to go too deep into this but yea it's a weird world out there.

Fun day
Even though I should be doing my homework, today was such a fun and eventful day that I thought I should blog about it.
So today I woke up semi late and I quickly microwaved my fried rice and packed it back in the takeout box and I ran all the way to the far side of school in time for the PSAT.
I think I did ok on it. But that's the boring part. When I got out I saw some really weird disgusting bugs that kept flying around everywhere. Jon (I'm just going to say all these names. This blog is kinda for me so if you don't know who these people are then too bad) downloaded a new app for iPhone/iTouch (no idea) which was a gun app and he started to shoot everyone with it.
After a while we all hung around the quad a bit and then I went to work on posters that I was supposed to work on a long long time ago with May and Alan (aka Gay Hsueh). We went to the gym of my apartment and after a while we got bored. May's hoodie smells really good but I feel like such a creeper for saying that.
I went back to the quad and we had just missed the Jamba Chug (stupid game anyway) and after a while me, Brian and Leon hopped into Henry's Porsche (DAMN) where we rolled down our windows and played African-American music with enhanced bass. After a while we started seeing a couple of Mehicanos so we rolled out windows up and pretended to be good kids.
When we got to Hong Kong Bistro we saw Paula who was there by herself (what a loner) and we went in.
I've actually eaten in Hong Kong Bistro once and I'd say it's pretty typical cha chan teng type food at a slightly higher price than what we're used to in Hong Kong. We literally ordered things that had pictures and I wanted to show off my Cantonese skills but Henry took over the spotlight and ordered "triangle, square, star, diamond" We ended up getting this creamy cheesy baked seafood rice, beef curry, beef cubes, singapore fried ho fun and baked pork chop rice (where other people were informed of the meaning of pork chop). The second group that came in Kevin's car came later where none of them shared and they had to eat a hugeass plate of food over and over and over again. Lance came along a little later. He rode on his bike because that's what he always does but this time he crashed and he got a hugeass nasty cut on his arm it was really nasty.
We managed to finish most of the food and Alan came over to eat a little more. When he got to the pork chop I said "Hey Alan do you like pork chops?" he looked up and he said "yea" and everyone laughed at him but he didn't get it.
We left and Lance got bandaged up by Paula with love and care and then the same 4 people + Paula rode on Henry's Porsche (DAMN) and we did the same thing as we rolled down the windows and blasted black music. This time I knew the lyrics a little better so I could say YEAA SMACK MY BITCH I SMACK YO BITCH U SMACK MY BITCH MY BITCH U BITCH along with the music.
After a while we saw a group of real black people then we were like SHIEETT and we quickly muted the music and rolled up the windows. The black guy was crossing the road and when we crossed our car he stopped for a bit and we were all hella scared and as soon as we turned we continued our blackness.
We got to Gunn where people were working on the floats and I wasn't really impressed. We got like the shape of it but it didn't look super cool.
I hung around for a bit and I got my stuff and then I waited for the bus to get to Water Polo.
The schedule for the game was all messed up and no one knew what was happening and we ended up getting in the game early. I got kicked out the fun bus that Coach Scott was driving because I believed in letting the guys that get minutes get their pick so I ended up going in Spencer's Mom's car which was a pretty sweet and comfortable ride.
When we got there we saw the Varsity girls destroy their opposition (15-0? 16-0?) and JV girls take one and JV boys lose (partly due to bad officiating).
When it was Varsity boys, the guys played kinda sloppy during the first 3 quarters (also partly due to bad officiating) and Coach Scott lost his cool near the end of the 3rd. The official gave him a yellow card and he kept arguing and then he gave him a red card and he got ejected. The quarter ended with us down 4 (I think). Good thing we had 2 coaches. When the quarter ended Coach Brian gave a little talk and we quickly let in another goal. Everyone on the bench was all sad and we kinda crumbled and we thought we lost the game but all of a sudden we are able to tie it up with about a minute left. Berenfeld scored a goal that pulled us within 1 and the game tier was a goal that I thought didn't go in. Spencer went into beast mode and didn't let anything in.
In overtime we completely destroyed the opposition. 4 goals in the first half of overtime and then they scored 1 goal in the second half of overtime but we sealed the deal with another goal. Great comeback and just a great great moment. I was watching from the bench (aka the Gentleman's club) the whole time but it was just a great moment. Coaches told us about the poor performance the first 3 quarters but they said that we should be very proud of that comeback.
It's always weird how people say we when they are associated with a team even if they weren't actually part of it.
But awesome day. Now to wrap it up with some studying.

crazy chinese woman goes berserk on a black woman on the SF muni in chinatown
This is crazier than Bus Uncle or anything weird. So after trying to listen to this woman's heavily accented and super fast and pissed off Cantonese what I got is that the black woman was hogging up a space so the chinese woman got super pissed. She keeps saying FAK YEW!!! FAK YEWW!!! YEW ARE STEWPIAT!!! and eventually the black woman is like "SAY IT AGAAAAIN!!"
so the chinese woman is like
FAAKKK YEWW!!!!
The black woman punches her in the face then the chinese woman goes insane and starts flailing her arms at her then she gets the black woman in a good position then keeps punching the black woman's head.
The bus full of chinese people cheer her on including an overenthusiastic man who says things like
"HIT HER" (he says this like a kazillion times)
"DON'T BE SCARED HIT HER"
"HIT HER UNTIL SHE'S SCARED"
And when the lone civilized chinese person tells the black woman to get off again he quickly shouts another
"HIT HER"
Crazy ass fight. I just find it kinda depressing because it seems like everytime there is a crazy asian breaking out (Bus Uncle, weird couple in the MTR, the lady who missed a flight and now this) the asian ALWAYS seems to speak cantonese.
Bad image to us cantonese speaking folks.
