A New Era

2011-10-08T16:08:00.000-07:00

My MacBook Pro arrived (it's just fun to call it a 'MacBook Pro' instead of a 'laptop') and it is pretty cool. I might miss torrenting free software... but we'll see how it goes.

Late Summer Nights

2011-06-24T02:28:00.001-07:00

Are the best time for reflections. I think.

I remember coming to America and thinking that I had bonds with friends that will never be broken. Some people here I've known for up to 10 years. I remember being convinced that on graduation day, I will graduate thinking I'm a proud student of Sha Tin College. I never felt I would be emotionally attached to all that is Palo Alto.

But in three short years, it's pretty different. In three years, days and months have gone by where I have never thought of a single person from Hong Kong and they have never thought of me. Before I left, my mom told me my high school friends don't mean much at all, and I was convinced that she was wrong. Well my mom was right. It was a bit of a bitch move by her but there are a lot of people that I haven't talked to. The few inside jokes I have with some of these people are hard to recall and require some memory stretching. Everyone is growing up

and leaving to college, and this summer may be the last time I get to see some of these guys.

Feelings are stupid.

Growing Up

2011-06-01T23:46:00.001-07:00

I haven't written in this blog in ages. I've been more preoccupied with writing about basketball and recently with tumblr, I've been doing some blogging over there... but tumblr is more of a microblogging thing and I don't want to write about my thoughts there because people read my tumblr a lot more than they read my blogspot thing.

So I've going to be 18 in about a week and a bit. I will legally be an adult... And it's really quite intimidating. I realize that it won't be a random sudden change. I won't wake up one day and have all this extra burden just because I'm 18... because my age is a just a number. I realize the change will be kind of gradual. I didn't wake up one day and turn from a child to a teenager. But still, it's intimidating. Being 18 always seemed like miles away, and now it's only days away. There is no turning back and I'm going to turn into an adult.

I'm actually really scared. Even when I was 16, I thought people that were 18 were old, and I don't feel too different from when I was 16. I will start to be more responsible and I will start to face what they call the real world. Retreating back to my home, thinking that mom and dad will help me out whenever is no longer an option. Parent notes used to be able to get me out of everything, but it's not the same anymore.

I usually scoff at people that write about stuff like this. Growing up is something that happens to everyone and it's just stupid to bitch and moan about it, but now that my teenage years are slipping away from me... it's just really weird.

I feel a bit better writing about it I guess. Meh. Until next time.

I have decided to...

2011-02-18T15:39:00.001-08:00

Write in this blog more because I don't want a period in my life where it wasn't recorded.

But I don't feel like writing now so bye.

NBA Jam Remake

2010-01-10T16:44:00.000-08:00

I love NBA Jam. Just today I decided to hook up my PS3 controller onto my PS3 so I can play NBA Jam with a controller and it's awesome.

Anyway, EA announced a remake so if they remade NBA Jam, teams would look like this.

Atlanta - Joe Johnson and Josh Smith

Would be a fun combo. Good shooter who isn't a midget and a great dunker guy.

Reserves - Al Horford, Jamal Crawford

Boston - Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce

Both guys are well rounded. They'll probably scale Pierce down a bit on the athleticism to keep down the amount of Jordan-esque players.

Reserves - Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen

Charlotte - Gerald Wallace and Raymond Felton

I wanna say Stephen Jackson for that second spot but you may as well go with the guy that's already there. Gerald Wallace will be a fun NBA Jam guy.

Reserves - Stephen Jackson, Tyson Chandler

Chicago - Derrick Rose and Luol Deng

I would swap out Deng for Noah when I play. Derrick Rose was made for NBA Jam.

Reserves - Joakim Noah, Kirk Hinrich

Cleveland - LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal

Probably the second best duo after Kobe and Gasol. Crazy. LeBron might be maxed out on everything.

Reserves - Mo Williams, Zydrunas Ilgauskas

Dallas - Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd

Jason Kidd was on NBA Jam TE as a rookie and this year he gets to start. They're gonna pad Jason Kidd's shooting and with Dirk this is a fun team since they'll shoot the lights out. The next 2 guys are a tough call between Marion, Howard and Terry but I'll give it to Marion and Terry.

Reserves - Shawn Marion, Jason Terry

Denver - Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups

Melo will have close to max everything except defense and Billups could have close to max everything except for dunks. Great team to roll with. The Nuggets were made for NBA Jam.

Reserves - Nene, J.R. Smith

Detroit - Rodney Stuckey and Richard Hamilton

Or something like that? Tayshaun Prince? A Ben Gordon/Richard Hamilton team would be fun as hell to play with though.

Reserves - Ben Gordon, Tayshaun Prince

Golden State - Monta Ellis and Anthony Randolph

If it were me I'd go Curry/Randolph. It'd probably be my go to team.

Reserves - Andris Biedrins, Stephen Curry

Houston - Aaron Brooks and Yao Ming

Since T-Mac doesn't seem to be staying here for long. Brooks will be a fun player to use and I don't know what they'll do with Yao Ming.

Reserves - Trevor Ariza, Carl Landry

Indiana - Danny Granger and Troy Murphy

What a sorry ass team. Granger will be good.

Reserves - TJ Ford, Roy Hibbert

Los Angeles (Clippers) - Baron Davis and Blake Griffin

Baron is great for NBA Jam. So is Blake Griffin. Good underrated team.

Reserves - Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman

Los Angeles (Lakers) - Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol

Crazy good team. Bron/Shaq duo comes close. It's just unfair how good the Lakers are.

Reserves - Lamar Odom, Ron Artest

Memphis - Rudy Gay and Zach Randolph

Toss up. Maybe Mayo should be up there. I think most guys will want to go Mayo/Gay. Memphis have a good team.

Reserves - OJ Mayo, Marc Gasol

Miami - Dwyane Wade and Jermaine O'Neal

Maybe Beasley. Not sure. Wade is made for this game.

Reserves - Michael Beasley, Udonis Haslem

Milwaukee - Brandon Jennings and Andrew Bogut

Jennings will be fun to use. Jennings/Redd for some serious 3 point damage.

Reserves - Michael Redd, Ersan Ilyasova

Minnesota - Al Jefferson and Jonny Flynn

Nothing too special.

Reserves - Kevin Love, Corey Brewer

New Jersey - Devin Harris and Brook Lopez

Should be a pretty good team in the game.

Reserves - Yi Jianlian, Chris Douglas-Roberts

New Orleans - Chris Paul and David West

Another solid team. Chris Paul won't be as effective and will just be like every other point guard.

Reserves - Peja Stojakovic, Emeka Okafor

New York - David Lee and Danilo Gallinari

The Knicks will actually be a really really fun team to roll with. David Lee should be one of the fastest bigs in the game and Gallinari will shoot the lights out.

Reserves - Wilson Chandler, Al Harrington

Oklahoma City - Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook

Kevin Durant will be LeBron level in terms of effectiveness. Probably will lose some points for defense but NBA Jam wasn't really about defense.

Reserves - Jeff Green, James Harden

Orlando Magic - Dwight Howard and Vince Carter

Godly combination. Dwight Howard should be one of the most effective bigs in this game and Vince Carter will be like 8 tenths of a Kobe which is good enough to be very good.

Reserves - Rashard Lewis, Jameer Nelson

Philadelphia - Andre Iguodala and Allen Iverson

Double AI. Fun team to run but no real bigs. Here's hoping Brand gets a little boost.

Reserves - Elton Brand, Louis Williams

Phoenix - Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire

Essentially the same as Stockton/Malone. A very effective combo but sadly something like Baron Davis/Blake Griffin could end up being better since Baron can finish easier. J-Rich is an awesome addition.

Reserves - Jason Richardson, Channing Frye

Portland - Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge

Roy will be awesome. Everyone else on the Blazers will be average.

Reserves - Greg Oden, Andre Miller

Sacramento - Tyreke Evans and Kevin Martin

Great guard combination with the slash/shoot. Tyreke Evans will own this game.

Reserves - Jason Thompson, Omri Casspi

San Antonio - Tim Duncan and Tony Parker

Lacks some shooting. Parker will be a blur.

Reserves - Manu Ginobili, Richard Jefferson

Toronto Raptors - Chris Bosh and Hedo Turkoglu

Bosh will be a pretty awesome guy in this game. Turkoglu should be raining 3s easy.

Reserves - Andrea Bargnani, Jose Calderon

Utah - Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer

I'm starting to get bored.

Reserves - Mehmet Okur, Andrei Kirilenko

Washington - yawn

2009-11-12T17:57:00.000-08:00

That when I mention having a blog, people are somewhat interested, so I have decided to add some intellectual content to this blog so I can show off my smartness and my unique sense of humor.

Currently I am really hungry. I just had like a 3 hour nap and it felt really good. The best part about having a nap is that when you make up it feels like it's a new day so you've essentially made 1 day into 2 days. How amazing. Anyway currently I am starving and my mom is too busy telling my sister her life story about marriage and kids and jobs and how everyone did it in the good old days. It's really boring and I can't interrupt them because if I interrupt them it i bad. But seriously I am like starving right now I want to eat. And I can't really work when I'm hungry... Because it hurts my stomach and my brain.

OMG I AM ACTUALLY HUNGRY.

So anyway by tomorrow I have to make up 2 math homeworks, make up 2 english homeworks, do bio and get history notes so I can do my make up quiz.

UGH.

ok I interrupted them. now i can eat.

bye bye.

Quick observations from the NBA season

2009-11-08T12:27:00.000-08:00

A lot of the young Centers are more promising now. Roy Hibbert has shown he can block some shots, Brook Lopez has showed signs of dominance, Marc Gasol is currently 2nd in rebounding.

Again Chris Bosh is off to a strong start.

Derrick Rose hasn't been able to back up his playoff performance.

Iverson is probably done.

Detroit is the best defensive team in the league.

Carmelo should see himself climbing up that top 10 players list.

Celtics, Heat, Magic, Suns and Lakers are the only teams to have lost 1 game... Suns and Heat don't really belong there so here's what they're doing well.

Suns
Nash seems motivated.
Amare is back.
Grant Hill is a rebounding machine.
Channing Frye fits the system well.

Heat
Dwyane Wade is good
JO isn't sucking as much dick as last season.
Q-Rich!?

Rookies
Chase Budinger is a total steal.
The Point Guards are strong. Evans, Flynn, Jennings, Curry are all showing promise and Ty Lawson is making the most of his minutes.
Dejuan Blair is a total steal.

A quick race to MVP right now...

1. Kobe Bryant (5-1)
2. Steve Nash (6-1)
3. Dwight Howard (5-1)
4. Carmelo Anthony (5-2)
5. Dwyane Wade (5-1)
6. LeBron James (4-3)
7. Paul Pierce (7-1)
8. Dirk Nowitzki (4-2)
9. Chris Bosh (3-3)
10. Aaron Brooks (4-2)

Something like that.

Gives Me Hope?

2009-11-04T00:05:00.000-08:00

It's weird. In a way, it's something to be proud of because of how the school got together but then, this should never have happened in the first place. Our school gained some national attention and after getting it for something bad we got some nice attention. A friend of mine who lives in the same apartment as me got semi-featured in an L.A. Times article and it just seems really inspiring. What a wonderful school. kind of.

Comfort things

2009-11-01T20:00:00.001-08:00

When I eat rice out of cup (like an actual cup) it makes me feel really warm and happy inside. I think it's because when I was in the hospital when I was 3 my mom and dad came to the hospital with cha siu rice and I couldn't finish like the whole take out box so they put it in my cup and I ate it out the cup and I guess it's just those things that make me happy.

100 Must Read Books

2009-10-25T00:38:00.001-07:00

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.

http://artofmanliness.com/2008/05/14/100-must-read-books-the-essential-mans-library/

First up is

The Great Gatsby

I'm gonna go to the school library and check it out. Whopee.

If you didn't know

2009-10-21T08:43:00.000-07:00

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

2009-10-14T22:03:00.000-07:00

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

2009-10-07T22:45:00.001-07:00

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.

Stop interrupting my site.

Mmm yummy subway

2009-09-05T12:53:00.001-07:00

Subway is really good. For $5 people think it's a good deal but if you convert $5 it's like 39 dollars Hong Kong (and I haven't included tax) and at that price you can get a pretty sweet meal like a baked pork chop rice with drinks and stuff at a Hong Kong fast food place.

But then Subway is probably healthier. Usually I get a meaty meatball marinara or spicy italian or someting but today I got the oven roasted chicken breast and it is DELISH.

The consistency of the chicken is like...

Chicken McNuggets.

Which means I should be scared, but it's so good...

Nicholas 姚樂生 says:

*me

ok.

I will write up the whole story of how we became friends and some of our beautiful memories together. The beginning is kind of off topic but I thought it would be fun to write about some of the stuff since it is good.

One day when I was 5 or 6 years old Star Wars Episode I came out. Back then my favorite color was red and I always got the red stuff because it was cool. But one day my friend called Philip told me that the red lightsaber was for the bad guy and I felt really sad but I still liked the color red. I watched the movie and I was like ugh so lame and I almost fell asleep. Basically all I remember is Qui gon Jinn and Obiwan Kenobi were fighting Darth Maul and there was this little Jar Jar Binks guy and like there was this Podracing scene where Anakin Skywalker wins the race. Anyway Darth Maul dies and his lightsaber is so much better than the others ones because a) it was red B) it was 2 lightsabers combined into 1 lightsaber.

Anyway I think Qui Gon Jin dies and then Obiwan is like no crap noo!!! and then later he finds himself hanging on the edge and he's all like nooo I am fucked! And all of a sudden he gets a burst of energy and like jumps up and grabs the green lightsaber and sticks it in Darth Maul's gut and then Darth Maul falls to his death.

Anyway that was really stupid but that's my memory of Star Wars. So anyway there's all this Star Wars hype and the my mom buys me some Star Wars Darth Maul boardies and it's basically like 1 leg is black and 1 leg is red and on one of them Darth Maul's face is it on looking all scary.

Then I take swimming classes with the infamous Yang and I took it and like a lot of people I took it with left because he was such a meanie. The little kids always swam on the 1 meter side and one day we had to swim across the pool across the evil 1.6 meters side (OMG) and go to the other side. I was so brave and I swam across and other people ran off like little chickens.

So after a while Yang stopped teaching lessons where I first learned them (Villa Athena) and he went to coach at Symphony Bay (sounds so much nicer). Initially I still lived in Villa Athena and I had to take a bus to go to Symphony Bay like every other day to go swim. One time on the minibus TV there were these Japanese people playing strip stone paper scissors/roshambo (true story) and I got so excited watching it but the guys side kept losing (damn it).

Anyway so I've been learning swimming with this Yang coach guy for a while and then one day this little tanned guy comes in and he's pretty fast. I was like oh who does this guy think he is he thinks he's soooooo cool. I kinda remember that image very clearly because he was swimming ont he other side of the pool.

Anyway one day I saw that little tanned boy at school (SJS) and he was like in the middle of the playground looking up at the building and he was smiling and I thought to myself 'oh it's the little tanned boy' and I ignored him.

So one thing led to another (actually I have no idea) and after a while we would talk to each other after swimming everyday. If you haven't figured out who the little tanned boy was it is NICHOLAS YIU. hi.

We used to be like friendly rivals and whenever we had to do time trials the coach would always make us race each other. Whenever it was the time trial we got to rest for like the whole lesson so me and nick will sit in our spot (closest big pool loungey chair along the long side of the pool) and we will meditate and focus our energy into our swim. It was kind of ridiculous but they were good times. I used to be better than Nick. I swam like 40 seconds for 50 freestyle and he was like 42 ahahaha what a loser.

One day nick bought a new swimsuit that was navy in the front which is very normal but the back was a bright shade of blue and it was stripey. One day when we were swimming Nick was about to overtake me and I was looking at nick and when nick turned to breath I saw his bright blue butt and I started laughing really hard because I found it very amusing that his lower body kept changing colors.

After a while we started to slack off a bit and Bernice started being a little b and started to swim faster. Now in this club there was like 1 other person that was me and nick's age and was good at swimming and his name is Wong Tak Sing (Dickson I think) and one day while we were swimming the coach yelled at us 3 and said oh if you let Bernice overtake any of you you guys have to stay and swim 5000 freestyle after class.

At this point all 3 of us were like HOLY SHIT. So in the beginning we just swam one after the other but after a while it seemed kind of sad so we decided that we should leave a brother behind and we did the smartest thing ever in the history of lap swimming which was to build a human wall (we didnt' even talk this over it just kinda happened and we were like hey holy shit it works). But for lap swimming building a human wall 3 people across was a really stupid thing to do because it just kinda obstructed the whole lane and people kept bumping into us when they were coming back but we were like fuck it we need to take one for the team.

Anyway so for that whole set 3 guys swam in a line together as Bernice kept jabbing our feet with her hands (to this day Bernice claims that I kept kicking her hands but this was not true... a) I remember Bernice kept jabbing her hands into our feet very clearly because she was being hostile and wanted us to suffer and swim 5000 freestyle and also b) i hardly kick my feet when i swim).

Oh and one day Nick was being very lazy and then the coach made him lead the young guys which turned out to benefit him because he was relied on to finish first while i trailed behind the fast guys where I would always get lapped. One day Nick just started getting a lot faster than me then after a while I quit because I was being a lazy fatso.

But perhaps the best parts of me knowing nick weren't during swimming but more after swimming. After a while we got to know the people that we swam with better and some of the people we got along with the most were John, Tim, and Paul Li. (Tim and Paul were twins and they were collectively known as Timpaul).

John was 2 years older than us and he would always tell us these cool stories and we always thought he was so cool and he would talk about how much of a pimp he was (later on I found out that he wasn't as cool as he claimed to be).

I think me and Nick started getting closer during P5 and we would talk about our daily struggles as year 10 kids. so cute. And a lot of other stupid stuff happened but I'll write about it in part 2.

I dedicate this shit to Jamie.

Through out most of Years 7, 8 and 9, I drank milk every morning and I would take a massive dump some time in a morning class. After a while teachers thought I was doig something else like taking drugs or texting so eventually I had to hold my poopie for like half an hour in order to make a poopie in the break.

Sometimes that stomachache would hurt REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD but I have to hold it in order to not be embarrassed. Finally in Year 10 I started to realize that milk was making me have those crazy poops in the morning so I cut down on the milk but sometimes if I was adventurous and I ate toast with cheese or butter only to make another poopie at school.

So I am lactose intolerant in the morning. I chug gallons of milk in the afternoon and be fine. It's weird.

I wish I had something to blog about.

2009-07-31T10:48:00.000-07:00

I have many weird random hobbies that I don't feel comfortable blogging about on my regular blog that I am trying to appeal to a general audience. Sadly I lack the charm of some celeb and no one really cares about my life. I do not get any insider information about particularly interesting people and I am not fucking Perez Hilton.

So I will continue to blog about random things.

Anyway I watched Hangover (technically) yesterday. It was another one of those super crazy fun amazing incredible insane in the brain mega epic movies and it was pretty funny but I'm scared that that genre of movies are gonna get old.

I really wished I knew what to blog about. Things that are happening in my life right now. I am in need of original content and not typical teen concerns such as smoking, drugs, sex, and a a a a a alcohol.

how boring.

The Kevin Quest

2009-07-28T07:10:00.000-07:00

I know 2 Kevins in Hong Kong and 2 Kevins in America and also my cousin. It seems like since Kevin is such a common name the universal Kevin nickname is K*, with the * being substituted with the first letter of the Kevin's last name. Heck I even know 2 Kevins in the NBA and they are called KG (Garnett) and KD (Durant). I notice this also happens with the John/Jon/Jonathans of the world but since there seem to be a lot of other names that begin with J it's not as common.

So I am going to begin my quest to know at least 26 different Kevins each with a different last name first letter and I will use this post to keep progress.

I have decided I am going to write about things that will enlighten people and make them smarter. I have decided that a good writer is a writer who makes the reader go 'damn' after they have finished reading whatever the writer has wroten. Ok i know it is written but I thought it would be funny to say wroten.

Ladies and gentlemen, proper cereal eating etiquette.

Imagine you are eating a bowl of cereal (and you are not allergic to dairy/wheats/nuts all that stuff)

You take out a bowl and a spoon, you take your cereal, and you take the milk.

What do you do?

a - pour the cereal in the bowl first
b - pour the milk in the bowl first

Let's evaluate these choices. Because the cereal is what actually makes you full and is what you are actually eating you need to be able to know and control how much you are actually eating. If you pour the milk first and then you pour the cereal it will seem to fill up faster that it actually is and also you'll have a bunch of cereal floating on the top.

Also by putting the cereal in the bowl first and adding milk second it allows you to cap the milk and then put it in the fridge in one smooth motion.

However that creates a dilemma because in the time you use to bring that carton/bottle of milk back to the fridge your cereal will be sitting in that bowl being soggy.

Post your thoughts.

I'm going to use labels. Maybe it will help this blog be on the internets.

the blog game

2009-07-15T16:23:00.000-07:00

I have no idea what I want to do with this blog. I can continue to post the occasional basketball post and have no one read it or sound like a little teen pussy who hates life or rants about everything in the world.

I am not a celebrity so no one will want to stalk me.

If you read my blog you can comment. Even if I don't know you that well and you think it might be awkward because I will think you are cool for leaving behind a comment.

Boring.

Super badass NBA season coming up.

2009-07-05T20:48:00.000-07:00

The 4 best players of this decade

Shaq, KG, Duncan, Kobe.

The 4 best teams headed into next season

Cavs, Celtics, Spurs, Lakers

2 from each conference.

Even the conference Finals will make some really interesting match ups. Lakers/Spurs have a 'who was the better franchise since Jordan' type of match up and LeBron/Celtics has been pretty well documented since the Celtics acquired their Big 3.

I think if the 4 teams I mentioned above all make the Conference Finals, I'd be happy with any NBA Finals situation.

Cavs VS Lakers - We get the Kobe/LeBron that was supposed to happen. Throw in some Phil Jackson/Kobe Bryant/Shaquille O'Neal drama and that's good television. If LeBron wins it'll be a nice 'passing of the torch' type of thing to end the decade.

Cavs VS Spurs - Shaq and Duncan tied at 4 rings each will settle who the more dominant big man was this generation. LeBron gets a chance to revenge that embarrassing sweep a couple of years back.

Celtics VS Lakers - A finals rematch, more Celtics VS Lakers to help fuel the rivalry. Settles all the 'what ifs' from the Lakers fans that complained that Bynum wasn't there.

Celtics VS Spurs - The Big Fundamental and the Big Ticket, the 2 most talented Power Forwards of this generation get to duke it out.

Why can't the season start!!?!?!?

i hate the lakers

2009-06-11T21:19:00.000-07:00

Lakers suck

Kobe Bryant has such a big ego he always chokes on jumpshots and when he does he just says there was a foul and he always like fucks up the offense and he always thinks he's such a good playmaker but he never passes to his teammates especially in crunchtime and then off the court he thinks he's all cool and casual with everyone.

Pau Gasol is ugly and annoying. His face his is ugly his hair is ugly his beard is ugly his jumpshot is ugly when he complains to officials he's ugly and he thinks he is the best jumpshooter in the world but he looks like a fucking butthole when he shoots jumpshots even his brother is fucking ugly like wtf were his parents thinking hey let's give birth to some spaniards with hugeass stupid hair!!!

Lamar Odom is such a little pussy and he can't play basketball and he always screams like a little girl when he grabs rebounds and makes lay ups even if he is wide open he screams like a little bitch like his dad is shoving it up his butthole he is so shit at basketball even though he has all the tools to be a good basketball player.

Andrew Bynum is the biggest pussy in the world he is so big but so useless and he always gets injured and he is like a little pussy even his coach makes fun of him and he cries like the big baby davis.

Derek Fisher is so old and ugly and annoying his jumpshot is so stupid and he always misses jump shots except for Game 4 and he gets so much credit for being a vet but he actually sucks dick and he can't post up Aaron Brooks and he is like such a n00b he misses lay ups all the time.

Trevor Ariza is so annoying he's so athletic but he sucks just cause he can hit a couple of 3s and he has long arms and he can steal some balls oh big deal he can't do shit he just feeds off good players.

Sasha Vujacic is ok but his hair is getting so fucking annoying like all wavy and shit like a girl i bet he gets it in the butthole a lot in the team showers cause he looks like a girl he needs to like get his parts fixed or switch to like some new energy source cause his machine is not working.

Luke Walton looks like such a silly white boy and he can't really do anything he's kinda like Mr. Turner trying to play basketball he's stupid and like he doesn't do anything good he's just there and he's so useless and shitty and white his dad is better than him at basketball what a loser.

Jordan Farmar is such a stupid little Jew with big ears like he is a monkey or osme shit and he can't really ball or do anything he sucks dick he can't really shoot or pass or anything he just like reads the torah or some shit he should wear one of those little jew caps on his head when he plays fucking eat kosher food.

Josh Powell is so stupid and useless like the beginning of the season I thought he was Ronny Turiaf but he isn't he thinks he's so good at shooting jumpshots but he isn't he's sucky and his hair looks like a pile of shit who the hell is he trying to be he looks like a fucking dinosaur.

DJ Mbenga looks like a fucking monkey no joke his face is so disproportional for a human and he can't really do something just because you're African and you're a funny name doesn't mean you are a good shotblocker cause otherwise my friend Tapiwanashe Mazinyi would be a monster shot blocker but he isn't.

Shannon Brown is so useless just because he can hit a couple of 3s and dunk and looks a little bit like Chris Brown he is trash and only trash he is shit and he should go play with Rihanna.

Adam Morrison is like the biggest bust in the world he's like michael jackson he looks like some fucking child molester he was pretty good in college but now he sucks cause he spends all his time feeling up the ball boys instead of working on his game he can't get minutes over fucking shannon brown or mbenga or josh powell he sucks so much dick luke walton is better than him.

Sun Yue is quite good repping all the asians but he can't do shit on the lakers like jews get minutes over him he is tall but he can't really do shit for a point guad but he can't play 2 guard or anything cause he is like so shit in the NBA all he does is sit on the bench and be like oh hao qiu to everyone yea fucking n00b

And Phil Jackson thinks he is so fashionable with his little funny glasses and he thinks he's so cool with hsi special chair and then he like doesn't play his good players when he needs to so he thinks he is so damn cool that way and he thinks is hte best coach in the world hello if i had michael jordan on my team i would have a pretty kickass team as well gosh so stupid.

make that 3.

2009-06-04T23:06:00.001-07:00

someone else tried to commit suicide tonight. fortunately he was stopped.

2 suicides 1 month

2009-06-03T17:33:00.000-07:00

Last night another person in my school committed suicide... The same train track.

I'm just confused.

New thing i'm trying out.

2009-05-18T21:06:00.001-07:00

I'm working on making a few NBA related t-shirts and I've decided to start with Turkoglu. Quite a bit of progress from my initial one cause people kept telling me it looked like Aaron Brooks.

15 years of age - The year everything changed.

2009-05-05T17:23:00.001-07:00

Perhaps the most memorable years of my life was when I was 3 years old when I started remembering things and probably this year. I can't really associate stuff I've done to a certain age because it all just seems to be a blur. When I was 3 I would watch countless episodes of Power Rangers, I would hit my dad and be mean to my grandparents. When I was 7? I don't remember a lot of things.

I guess it's easy for me to say this now since I'm currently 15 but 15 has been a year of change for me. It feels like I've been 15 forever.

This blog has also been awesome since it has kept a pretty good log on a year of one of the biggest changes in my life.

Let's take a look.

JUST BEFORE TURNING 15 - (this counts because it's cool)

First kiss - Ok this is like a year before but it's worth documenting in case I forget when I grow up.

I see Jin. Probably like the first famous person that I've met up close and personal.

I start using Ubuntu which is my OS of choice. It also helps limit my computer game playing because I never bother to switch over to Windows.

My grandma dies. This is the first family member that I actually know who passed away.

I TURN 15.

Homemade iPhone.

My final ESF Swimming Gala - We win by 1 point. I start counting down the last 10 days of the school I've been in the last 10 years of my life.

I bomb $1000 on a pair of headphones.

First time I break an electronic that I own. The screen on my iPOd nano starts dying.

I buy Warcraft 3.

I get my first serious gaming console since my Playstation 1. (Wii doesn't count). Thanks for the PS3 guys.

I arrive in USA.

Experience being a loser/loner at High School.

Obama.

Experience the infamous American High School that we often see in TV Shows.

3 people I know growing up have parents that died/are dying.

I start contributing more to the society.

I get to watch Yao in action for the first time.

First Superbowl

First time I run away from cops.

Renewed love for sneakers.

First pair of Jordans arrive (Fire Red Vs)

I watch the 6OT classic between Syracuse and UCONN.

Start eating more cheeses.

First time I get straight As

Someone in my school commits suicide.

School shooting in my area.

Bomb threat in my very apartment.

It's been a long year. About a month left until I turn 16.

My future?

2009-05-03T09:26:00.001-07:00

confused.

There's a bomb?

2009-04-28T16:13:00.001-07:00

So here I am sitting in my school library on my blog. I'm locked out of my house because some stupid high school kid had some firecrackers in his house and then the cops went in and searched and they were like hmmmm these aren't just firecrackers...

OK the librarian is going to kick me out so bye I'll give the update later as long as I don't get bombed.

Cool Playoffs.

2009-04-26T15:16:00.001-07:00

The Detroit Pistons

New predictions

2009-04-18T10:56:00.000-07:00

Since the Celtics will be without KG...

Celtics/Bulls - Celtics in 5

Celtics/Magic - Magic in 5

Magic/Cavs - Cavs in 6

Playoff Predictions

2009-04-15T22:08:00.001-07:00

The seedings are finally in and here are my predictions.

First Round

EAST

Cleveland Cavaliers (1) VS Detroit Pistons (8)

Cavs in 5. The Pistons steal one at Cleveland (Game 2), wake up call for the Cavs and all the Kobe fans go insane but Cavs finish them off.

Boston Celtics (2) VS Chicago Bulls (7)

Celtics in 4. Celtics will pack the paint and Derrick Rose will die.

Orlando Magic (3) VS Philadelphia 76ers (6)

Magic in 4. Dwight Howard will average about 6 blocks a game in this series because no one in Philly can shoot but Dwight Howard is a fucking beast in the paint.

Atlanta Hawks (4) VS Miami Heat (5)

Heat in 6. Wade averages near a triple double in this series.

WEST

Los Angeles Lakers (1) VS Utah Jazz (8)

Lakers in 5. Jazz are still a pretty good team but their record has been hurt by their recent suckage and also a bunch of injuries so they're no typical 8th seed. The Lakers wins should be rather close wins that are around 10 points.

Denver Nuggets (2) VS New Orleans Hornets (7)

Hornets in 7. Interesting match up. Chris Paul vs Chauncey Billups will be quite nice to see. Chris Paul will put up godly numbers. X Factor is J.R. Smith.

San Antonio Spurs (3) VS Dallas Mavericks (6)

Spurs in 5. The 'don't write off the Spurs' thing begins. A few smartasses pop up and say 'oh I've been saying all season long, don't write off the Spurs!!'

Portland Trail Blazers (4) VS Houston Rockets (5)

Rockets in 6. Rockets should have swept the season series but Roy hit that crazy 3. Greg Oden slows down Yao effectively before picking up his 5th foul in 3 minutes of action. This will be an interesting series!

Second Round

EAST

Cleveland Cavaliers (1) VS Miami Heat (4)

Cavs in 5. Wade puts up subpar shooting numbers but attempts like 20 free throws each game.

Boston Celtics (2) VS Orlando Magic (3)

Celtics in 7. Will probably be one of the best series. Depends on how KG's doing but Celtics should be able to contain Dwight Howard effectively and should also be able to close out on those open shooters.

WEST

Los Angeles Lakers (1) VS Houston Rockets (5)

Lakers in 5. I wish things would be different but this Laker team just fucking rapes the Rockets. Rockets will play a good 3 quarters of basketball for the whole series but the Lakers will win somehow.

New Orleans Hornets (7) VS San Antonio Spurs (3)

Spurs in 7. Because Spurs are good even without Ginobili and you shouldn't write them off. Roger Mason hits 3 3s in the 4th quarter of Game 7.

Conference Finals

EAST

Cleveland Cavaliers (1) VS Boston Celtics (2)

Cavs in 6. Witness.

WEST

Los Angeles Lakers (1) VS San Antonio Spurs (3)

Lakers in 6. Bynum + Gasol is too much to handle for Duncan.

THE FINALS

Lakers win because they're fucking stacked.

2008-2009 NBA Awards Predictions

2009-04-10T20:38:00.000-07:00

I wish I made a set of predictions before the season began so I can compare... But I didn't so obviously I can't compare. duh.

Alright

Most Valuable Player - LeBron James
Best record in East, possibly the league, best PER in the league. He's locked it up.

Rookie of the Year - Derrick Rose
He has the stats... currently at 16/17 PPG and 6 APG, leading the Bulls to the playoffs... Pretty strong case for ROY.

Defensive Player of the Year - Dwight Howard
Close to 14 rebounds and 3 blocks a game and he anchors one of the best defensive teams in the league. I'd like to see LeBron win it though, but this has always been more of a statistical award.

Sixth Man of the Year - J.R. Smith
He's been a beast for me on my fantasy team. I think Jason Terry is getting far too many minutes to be considered a 6th man.

Most Improved Player - Devin Harris
I'd like to say Jameer Nelson but like half the season doesn't help his cause. Devin Harris has been in consideration since the beginning of the season.

Coach Of The Year - Mike Brown
Best record in the East. Cavs record improved a considerable amount this season.

Executive Of The Year - Daryl Morey
Landed Artest, big balls trading Rafer for Lowry, signing Von Wafer. Good stuff.

All-NBA First Team

G - Dwyane Wade
G - Kobe Bryant
F - LeBron James
F - Tim Duncan
C - Dwight Howard

Wade gets the nod over Paul because of his amazing season. Duncan makes it next to LeBron cause KG missed a bit of the season and doesn't have the most spectacular statline.

All-NBA Second Team

G - Chris Paul
G - Chauncey Billups
F - Carmelo Anthony
F - Kevin Garnett
C - Yao Ming

Chauncey and Melo make it for helping the Nuggets nab the 2nd seed in the West.

All-NBA Third Team

G - Deron Williams
G - Brandon Roy
F - Dirk Nowitzki
F - Pau Gasol
C - Shaquille O'Neal

And what's left. Sucks Joe Johnson couldn't make a team.

All-Defensive First Team

G - Dwyane Wade
G - Kobe Bryant
F - LeBron James
F - Tim Duncan
C - Dwight Howard

Same as the All-NBA 1st team. Wade gets the nod for his 2 steal/2 block thing.

All-Defensive Second Team

G - Chris Paul
G - Chauncey Billups
F - Ron Artest
F - Kevin Garnett
C - Yao Ming

Replaced Melo with Artest. Paul's there for steals, Garnett is a by default thing.

All-Rookie First Team

G - Derrick Rose
G - OJ Mayo
F - Michael Beasley
F - Kevin Love
C - Brook Lopez

Where is Greg Oden? :X

All-Rookie Second Team

G - Russell Westbrook
G - Eric Gordon
G - Rudy Fernandez
F - Jason Thompson
C - Marc Gasol

I really wanted to put Anthony Morrow in there somewhere but this year has some pretty good rookies.

Cheese blog? Cheese blog!!

2009-04-08T15:44:00.000-07:00

I found this piece of cheese in my fridge that we bought from this super awesome local supermarket called the Milk Pail which has all these cool cheeses and fresh cheap food.

I shall review cheeses from a normal person's point of view and not those cheese connoisseurs who will swallow salty strong tasting foul creamy chunks of food and call it a dessert cheese.

The first cheese that I willl review is called Champignon Mirabo Walnut Cheese.

From the a trusty cheese website called Cheese Supply...

Mirabo Walnut, a sophisticated soft ripened cheese, has been mastered by Kaserei Champignon of Bavaria, Germany. Its exclusive blossom shape, with find while mold, gives mirabo its unmistakable appearance. The pate of this cheese is a soft and creamy delight, and the finest crushed walnuts, speckled throughout, produce a wonderfully mild and nutty flavor.

There is no unmistakable appearance. It looks like a piece of brie with little chunks of walnuts (they could be anything though) in it. Yes it was creamy and the crushed walnuts didn't do shit to the flavor. If by 'wonderfully mild and nutty' you mean 'fucking salty' then yes. It had a wonderfully mild and nutty flavor.

After handling this cheese I went on to eat grapes which people seem to enjoy with their cheese, but the cheese stink was all over my fingers so when I ate grapes the grapes were stinky with cheese smell.

Late night blogging with Jordan

2009-04-01T02:44:00.000-07:00

2:45AM as I start this blog post. I'm still kinda fucked from the jetlag and I'm not tired at all. I don't know what to write about. I kind of want to sleep. But I can't. I don't want to write over corny weird stuff because this is actually a public blog so I won't write weird stuff to make me look like I am so smart and deep and all the girls should like me because I'm so cool deep down.

FUCK YOU.

Ok.

I hate you all. I hate times like these (2:47AM in America) because most people in America are sleeping and then I don't know where all you Hong Kong people at.

I really miss Hong Kong. Being with my friends is muy bien.

DAMN IT I AM SO BORED BUT I CAN NOT SLEEP :(

6 Overtimes

2009-03-12T23:28:00.000-07:00

Amazing game by Syracuse and UCONN earlier tonight. Devendorf had a 3 that would've won the game in regulation that was probably decided by less than 0.1 seconds, then 6 overtimes of basketball begin. I watched every minute of it and A game that should have ended like 1 hour and 15 minutes ago kept on going and I lost an hour of precious study time.

Awkwardest moment in my life.

2009-03-10T22:08:00.000-07:00

Today I was going to swimming then I had to cross the road so when I was waiting for the light to change all of a sudden I heard these (female) orgasmic noises. I look behind me and I see nothing then these orgasmic noises continue as I sit there, one guy sitting on his bike waiting for the light to change while listening to female orgasmic noises. It was weird.

Things I don't like to eat

school sucks

2009-02-26T22:54:00.000-08:00

I am not mentally strong enough to stay away from the distractions of this world when I am doing homework.

But I'm nearly done anyway so it's not too bad.

So I'm sitting here in front of my computer working through homework and (not) looking forward to the history project, history exam, chemistry formal lab and math test, and english essay ahead of me.

Honestly, up until like last year I've never cared much about school. My mom would come home from school every year from the parent teacher meeting and she'll be like oh yea all your teachers were like "jordan is smart but he always does the bare minimum and doesn't put enough effort into his work." and my mom has been telling me to work hard every year. I work hard for about like a week or two then something cool happens and then I just stop.

But anyway I've finally reached the dreaded 'last 3 years' of high school that universities mainy look at and well, here I am. In Year 7, 8, 9, and 10, the most As I ever got was like 4 As. And that's because I had like 13 subjects or whatever and 2 of them were Mandarin and Music which were gimmes. But yea.

Now that I'm in those last 3 years that Universities seem to care a lot about, it's just really weird that everything I do right now could determine what my life will be like. Maybe if I'm good I could get into like a top 10 university (I actually got a letter from one) but that would be it. Maybe I'd get into the 10th best university in the world but I wouldn't be able to get into the top university because during these 3 years, I flunked a test or something and I couldn't get that grade that I wanted.

Weird.

Blog name change

2009-02-16T15:29:00.000-08:00

Because I think it's funny.

I have a long weekend this weekend (5 days!!)

I'm beastly.

Sadly stupid swim coach decided to schedule practices on this beautiful long weekend.

Oh wellz.

Now you can stalk me better. Twitter is like a website with only Facebook statuses. That way you don't have to feel bad by showing up on everybody's home page if you change your Facebook status every 5 minutes. Also you don't have to feel like a loner if your whole facebook page is filled up with the changes in your status.

How to save the economy and be charitable. AT THE SAME TIME.

2009-02-08T00:51:00.001-08:00

Ok. So this is how it works.

Say you want to donate $1000 to a charity.

If you straight up gave $1000 to that charity, those poor African kids/dogs/people with cancer/whatever will be very thankful for your $1000 donation.

And that's perfectly fine.

BUT. If you want to help save the economy, this is what you do.

Go buy $1000 worth of goods that you know can be resold at a similar price point (Numbered Jordan shoes hold their value well as well as most luxury brand items... But as you go up it could get harder to sell because of trust issues.)

Go on ebay.com or some sort of listing thing where you can sell your stuff. Since you haven't used those $1000 worth of goods it should still hold its value quite well.

Get that $1000 and with that $1000 donate it to your charity of your choice.

What you have just done is

Give $1000 to the struggling economy.

Give $1000 worth of items to somebody who wanted those $1000 of items

Give $1000 to the charity of your choice.

So instead of just donating $1000 to a charity, you have just tripled your $1000 because you have given a $1000 value of stuff to 3 separate groups/individuals.

It's genius.

Top 100 moments in my life.

2009-02-03T17:42:00.001-08:00

In no particular order. Just thought I should archive this. Maybe I'll rank them next time.

1. Hijacking the elevator one Halloween at William's place. All the kids got out the elevator to get candy and then we went in and closed the door. Some of the helpers looked confused. We pressed all the buttons and got off at the next floor and took for the stairs.

2. Sneaking out the back of a house when the police came over after some people complained about the noise. There was alcohol, shisha and underage drunk kids in the house. I climbed over this hugeass rock and tried to act as sober as I could. Asian flush gives a lot of things away.

Pre Game (About 3:27) - Guys being introduced. This thing is like so hyped up there's all this stuff going on and all this coverage. NBA Finals are nothing like this. The coin toss is about to happen now.

Arizona Cardinals win the toss.

Oh whoop dee doo.

I took out some pre-game snacks and I already ate quite a lot and I'm kinda full already. boo.

3:33 - The Superbowl begins and yep it's a bunch of guys jumping on each other. Ben Rotheitahielhlafj with this pass to some number 86 guy and they're at the 30 something yard line? :S

3:36 - I think the Cardinals are getting cut up. The Steelers are at first and goal and it's like 3:30 into the game.

3:38 - The Steelers score.

3:41 - I think I just finished my first Superbowl commercial break. I don't know. They're pretty cool kinda. Oh they argued the call or whatever and now the Steelers don't score. It's 4th & Goal.

3:43 - Touchdown gets waived off but the Steelers convert the field goal so they're up 3-0. IT's kinda weird how you can just challenge calls. Rasheed Wallace should go play in the NFL.

3:57 - Damn Steelers are beasting. Ben Rohtiwrhltwehljs is a beast.

4:01 - My first quarter of my first superbowl is over. I fail to understand how Americans can all gather around and watch this together.

4:03 - New Vin Diesel movie!!

4:06 - Wow there were 2 kinda racy ads just now.

4:08 - Steelers touchdown. Seems a bit effortless.

4:21 - CARDINALS TOUCHDOWN!!!

5:07 - I was robbed of my computer rights. The Heroes commercial was kickass.

6:01 - The Superbowl is stupid and boring.

7:02 - The Superbowl is amazing. Huge touchdown with 35 seconds left. Santonio Holmes caught it in like the fucking corner of the endzone.

January 20th, 2009

2009-01-20T20:07:00.001-08:00

Copy from a Facebook note.

To be honest I don't really have a clue about US Politics since I haven't been living here long and I haven't been paying much attention to the news and I don't really know what this whole 'change' thing is about (yea whatever haters.) but hopefully I'll understand this in like a couple of months. or years.

But today is a historic moment that my future kids will be looking at in their textbooks according to my history teacher (but apparently this is a history teacher technique to get people to pay attention) but yea. The first (half) African-American president. The 44th president of the United States.

So a breakdown of my whole January 20th so when my kids or whatevers ask me when I'm an adult "Wait you were alive when Barack Obama became President!?!??! What did you do!?!?!?" I have an answer.

So this was the beginning of the 2nd semester and I have just completed my first semester of school in America. I was going to set the alarm for 6:50 but I forgot about Daylight Saving or whatever so I woke up at 5:50 in the morning and I decided not to go back to sleep because I will be super tired when I wake up.

So I go to school slightly early because I needed to get my schedule. I got my schedule from a black(!) woman. Then I go to Contemporary World History (OMG) to watch the Inauguration. I see all these random white people walk out and then like Barack Obama's daughters walk out. Then when the camera went on to Barack Obama I just had that feeling where you would put your hands up when like Ray Allen or Marco Belinelli or Steve Novak is open for a 3 pointer. The bell rang and I went to Photo class and I continued watching the Inauguration. Apparently the elite judge or someone messed up when he said the oath but it was all good.

And then the ball rang again and that was it. I saw a truly historic moment!!!

Other details

Clothes - I was wearing my JAWNZ. A white T-shirt. A BLACK Puma hoody (I wasn't thinking when I put it on but ya). BLACK boxers (I didn't even know) and white chucks and some low (not ankle) champion socks.

Fuudz - I had leftover soup + noodle for breakfast. I bought lunch at school. I had salad. It was like chicken(!!!!) salad with shit loads of parmesan cheese and it had an ok Caesar salad dressing. When I got home I had this yummy creamy cheddar cheese with bacon and chive bits with delicious multi grain crackers. Then my sister comes home with half of a $5 foot long (meaty marinara) from subway and then for dinner I had vegetables and steak.

I watched an episode of Lost and Scrubs as well.

Music - I didn't really listen to anything but I guess one song that comes up to my mind is 2Pac's Changes. Time to go listen to it now.

Oh I just heard 'It's A New Day' by will.i.am pretty cool. TEEHEE

:D

What a day.

But Barack Obama better be a good president. He has more hype than SB Dunks.

I has a paper wallets.

Hi

2008-12-07T23:04:00.000-08:00

I like to eat bananas.

gay means happy

2008-12-02T16:04:00.000-08:00

So what you did not know about my Houston trip was that during the trip I stayed at my sister's high school friend's house. That girl isn't the most girly looking person and she's a lesbian. Her partner is this kinda big black girl with dreads.

What?

My sister's friend's mom and brother were also there and I'm pretty sure for a parent (especially an Asian one), your daughter partnering (because they aren't married yet and they can't get married) with another girl is kind of weird, and it's a black girl as well. Asian parents deep down want their kids to marry other Asians (hopefully at least half the same type of Asian) and have kids and stuff. And then here comes this other person... Not only is that person black, that person is a her.

So this makes the 2nd gay couple I've seen in real life. The first couple i know took a while for me to find out (cause I was a kid the whole time).

Now some people would just say "oh as long as they are happy it doesn't matter."

And yea it's true. In this trip I saw my sister's friend's mom get along well with the black girl and my sister's friend's brother getting along well with the black girl as well. It was like real happiness and it was like golden to see people being happy even though there are those differences. Until you experience or witness it you don't really see just how gay those people are. (haha get it cause gay can mean homosexual AND happy)

Ok.

Bye.

Fun day

2008-11-29T21:58:00.000-08:00

Today I woke up and then after eating pancakes I went to see some post-hurricane stuff. It was like a wreck even though it was like a few months back.

Then I was hungry and I wanted to go to Whataburger or Sonic and then we went to Sonic but they didn't have ice cream so they couldn't make their smoothies/milkshakes. (this is like going to KFC and they are out of chicken) so I had this Southern Style Chicken Burger from McDonalds which is a McChicken without everything but it still has the chicken and pickles.

AND THEN I WENT TO THE YAO MING RESTAURANT

The food sucks. There were a lot of autographed things. The yummiest dish I had there was the 'Yao Flavored Shrimp'. Basically it's shrimp coated in stuff then fried then put in this weird but yummy sauce. The rest of the stuff was pretty crap.

Then I went to the Toyota Center. The real thing. I stepped in and it was cool. You would think it was pretty rowdy but the arena was pretty dead. I was sitting behind a bunch of French people that were like GOO TO-NI!!! TO-NI!!! And kept clapping when the Spurs scored so it kinda spoiled the atmosphere.

Anyway the Rockets blew out the Spurs. It kinda sucks since T-Mac didn't play but I got to see future hall of famer Tim Duncan. I got to see Artest, Ginobili and Tony Parker so it was pretty cool.

Then I went to eat Krystal Burger. Krystal Burger is basically the White Castle of the South. It taste good. and yummy.

bye

Funny quotes I have heard in the americas

2008-11-05T22:22:00.000-08:00

In a Justice/Awareness Club thing

"They sell their children as sex slaves"

"How much?"

"Like... 3 US dollars?"

"That's a pretty good deal"

About Barack Obama

"Barack sounds like a Chinese person trying to say black... Da new presdent is ba-rack"

My History Teacher

"So if Barack Obama and the other guy..."

There are more but I can't think of them right now. Duh.

I hate socializing

2008-10-23T15:39:00.000-07:00

Everyday I keep asking questions with answers that I already know just to create some conversation.

so lame.

Homecoming is your face.

2008-10-21T18:01:00.000-07:00

So I've been through 2 days of my first Homecoming week in USA. So from my understanding so far, you dress up and then there are games.

The first day all the Sophomores (that's me) had to dress green. I did that. The 2nd day was 'Public Service Vehicle' and I was like fuck that wtf is that so I just came to school like a normal person. Most of the other Sophomores came as Cops or Electricians or Firemen and one guy was a Garbageman.

Tomorrow's theme is like hip hop/gangsta. I will not go very overboard because there are real Gs in my school. Must be awkward for the real Gs.

So far the games were pretty funny and random. The 1st day, the first game was stuff a bench where there was like a big square bench and you stuff it with as many people as you can. The 2nd game on that day was tug o war, and it was very intense because there were like 500 people in each grade and they were split into 3 ropes so you had like 200+ people tugging on 1 rope.

The second day's first game was 10 man pass where you had to pass a grapefruit along 10 people without using your hands. Most people like used their chin-neck-chest to carry it but the Sophomores kept failing. The second game was an obstacle course but it wasn't really an obstacle course it was more like do random things and see who can do it the fastest.

But it was a pretty cool experience and it was pretty intense. The different grades participated against each other.

The people here have really cool signs for their class. For the Seniors it's the 'Dynasty' sign... It's like a diamond and like Jay-Z and Kanye West use it. You know that song Diamonds from Sierra Leone that goes like "Diamonds are forever... forever... forever..." and it goes "throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe" that's the diamond. Yea.

The Juniors are the class of '10 so their sign is like an X made with their arms. I'm not sure what mine is but I think it's like you raise both hands then you point an index finger on each hand because I'm class of '11 so each finger means 1.

Today I got free Sun Chips. For you uninformed Hong Kong fools they are like chips but they are made from whole wheat stuff and are meant to be healthy but they were pretty heavily salted so I'm not sure.

Anyway 3 more days of homecoming and then the dance! I still don't know if I'm going to the dance because I don't really know anyone going. But I might.

OHH

2008-10-16T17:54:00.001-07:00

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID OHHHHHHH

Seriously I swear I did not realize that until I pressed Publish Post. :D

That's what she said

2008-10-16T17:50:00.001-07:00

I will try to write an entire blog post with sentences that are victims of THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID. And try and make some sense out of it. Starting now.

At first I thought it was going to be pretty hard. Ok I suck. I can do this all day. The work I have to do is so long. and hard. I mean there's like so much of it. Too much too digest at one time. Too much information. I can't handle the amount I'm given. It's not really that hard. There's just a lot of it. Today I ate a sausage. I swallowed it by accident.

Ok. Screw it. (that's what she said!)

This is too hard.

New Kanye Single is fire. And I can not stand my History class

2008-10-15T17:57:00.000-07:00

Just a snippet. I thought Love Lockdown was ok. I like Heartless a lot better.

IN THE NIGHT I HEAR EM TALK
THE COLDEST STORY EVER TOLD
SOMEWHERE FAR ALONG THIS ROAD
HE LOST HIS SOULLL
TO A WOMEN SO HEARTLESS
HOW COULD YOU BE SO HEARTLESSS???

Best auto-tuned verse ever (ok technically this is like a chorus/hook so it's not really a verse) but that owns anything that T-Pain or Lil' Wayne has done on Auto-Tune. It's better than what Kanye himself did as well.

Anyway.

Ok I was going to tell you guys how annoying my history class was but I'm hungry so I'm going to eat. Maybe later.

Since you are all itching your bumholes for an update

2008-10-14T21:13:00.000-07:00

And there isn't much point since you're all out having fun during CAS Week.

Here is an update anyway.

The reason why I haven't been blogging much lately is because I slowly have more of a life! Yes I have people I can call friends. About the clubs, I ended up joining one because there weren't any fun sounding clubs and this one had free pizza (although I got an email from them and they said there would be chips and soda... How does that compare to pizza!? :( booooooo)

But um. There isn't a meeting for the club yet and it's not going to be this week because of some foodfest or something (eh?) and not the week after because it's homecoming week.

From my understanding homecoming is

Dress up funny for a week.

Then there is a dance where you ask someone to go with you <3

Being the sad and unadventurous person I am I am not going. Because it's just kinda weird. I know like... 2 or 3 or 4 girls or something and it would be kinda weird to ask and I also have no idea on what their plans are. I also have no idea what my friends are doing and they don't seem to have much interest in it so I don't really care. Maybe next year. :P

But um... Coming up in my life...

PSAT!! Again!!

Basketball try-outs... Wish me luck. I probably won't make it but you know maybe I'll be super on fire on the day of try outs then I get to play! :D

But yea I doubt that.

I currently have a kickass 96% average in Math. 1 percent more and I have an A+. Basically you need to be like perfect to get an A+. Damn.

I need to study for PSAT.

booo

#150 + Hello October!

2008-10-02T16:02:00.000-07:00

Hi. This is another milestone in my blog. 150 posts and still going strong!!! Kind of.

So school is better. I'm still looking for my group of real friends but of course that will come with time. I'm gonna play some basketball tomorrow. I'll find out how good the people here are. It's not like super hax hax super skillz cause I'm in a pretty smart school. Our own school has no faith in the football team. Not a lot of people seem to be interested in basketball. Everyone is into football and we still suck. So I don't know. :)

Maybe there's like this super cool style of play here that I'm so good at and they put me as a starter.

Nah.

Oh. Sarah Palin REALLY is stupid. I can't believe it. She really is.

How the hell do I pronounce my name!?

2008-09-28T19:22:00.001-07:00

Is it Jor-dan? Jor-den? Jor-dun?

is it Jor? or more like Gee-or

God.

Whatabout my last name? In Cantonese it is like LERNG. So in English it should be something like lerng with like a silentish r and g. Wtf. How did that turn into Leung? People keep trying to say Lee-ung. Or some people just say lung.

I wish my last name was something else. Like Chan. Or Lee.

But Leung looks pretty kickass.

It's just I have no idea how you pronounce it.

:(

And I have finally found the source.

2008-09-24T20:48:00.001-07:00

I googled my blog's URL and I found out where those mysterious clicks are coming from.

http://schestowitz.com/UseNet/2008/May_2008_1/msg00372.html

There.

Things happen for a reason. if you don't want to read the other posts because they're lame read this one cause it isn't

2008-09-24T20:04:00.001-07:00

I was being all cocky and confident on the math test then I get a 70% and 50%. I STFU and I now have a 93.2% average in Math. Then I get all cocky and said I was awesome and then I get a C for my Chemistry test.

What this means is God is telling me to stop being such an ass and focus on my schoolwork.

Thanks for the message I got it.

So this means I am no longer awesome. I will focus on my education and

dude I got a C in Chemistry and now my Chem teacher thinks I didn't hand in one of my projects so I get an instant F and now I'm riding a D average for my Chemistry.

That sucks so many balls.

I feel so sad. Even though I don't really have a D. But seeing my name next to a D is so sad. Actually this has happened before in Mandarin but that was Year 9 and that was just a silly year. Ms Chen kept giving us hardass dictations.

But yea. This C is a huge smack in the face for me. I get to stop thinking I'm mega smart and I get off my lazy ass and start studying.

And I still have to make like a real group of friends! The people here haven't known each other since last year. Most of them went to the same middle school and same elementary school and they've basically known each other for their whole lives.

It's crazy!

And now I actually have to start studying stuff and try and fit in socially. It all sucks big balls.

But yea. This actually sucks. I get to have a transitional period where the grades will actually affect which University I go to. They count the last 3 years and like maybe 4 (and I did fine in those Year 10 exams) and right now I have a fucking average of D in Chemistry (but I probably have like a B+) and none of the hard stuff has started yet. I suck balls at History (in my 3 years of History taking I have never gotten an A) and I must take like 4 years worth of history in 3 years and a summer.

It all really sucks. And I still don't have any like real friends. Which is ok for now so I can focus on my academics.

I am still hopeless at English. Although I write a lot of stuff in this blog, it is all informal and unless all the English writing exams are "write a fucking kickass blog post" I'm most likely going to end up with pretty shit grades.

I don't really have a problem with writing essays. I'm fine with write ups of stuff. But writing essays about books or poetry where you have to analyze and give your opinion is just fucking retarded. I hate those. I got a C for that A View From the Bridge essay.

I do not proof read my posts. Right now maybe someone stopped time and started typing stuff like I like eat bananas upside down and I would have no idea.

And the lesson here is... You do not just say "fuck that that's the way I am"

you say "screw it imma change it."

what have I gotten myself into. Now I have to proofread this shit I just wrote.

fine i'll do it.

Ok I just finished. I corrected 2 mistakes. I know this post is probably still all stupid and slang and informal but I don't care.

Ok I just got an email from my Chem teacher and he just asked me to resend the thing. So maybe he didn't get it the first time. Woohoo. I'm going to get my grade bumped up above that horrible D now.

Oh and also I broke my glasses. I stepped on them which marks the 3rd time I have broken them in 4 or 5 years. But it's fixable. It's just I don't know where to get it fixed.

You know if I end up getting into a good school like Stanford or something I will go back to this blog and be like

THIS IS THE POINT WHERE MY LIFE CHANGED.

And so will you because this blog has inspired you to study harder!

But you know what? This is going to be another one of those "Ok seriously I'm gonna work really hard now." It's so easy to say that. I bet all of you have said that. And you said that during like the holidays or something when you're not working. You need to take immediate action.

I learnt in this thing in English, if you see something happen and you don't act within the first 180 seconds of noticing, you're probably not going to do anything.

AKA you guys procrastinate which is what I've been starting to do a lot of lately. I get home from school, sometimes at 2, sometimes at 3. It's 4 o clock, I've opened the document with the homework on it and I still haven't done a thing.

It's amazing how I can just like zone out for an hour. None of you guys are online and I don't talk to anyone.

What the hell how is that possible.

And guys, if someone made a show out of me like Everybody Hates Chris and there's a laugh track on it (so you know when to laugh) it would be fucking awesome. I always think about it. There's always a moment where I'm like "if this was a TV show, it would be funny." but no one else laughs because no one understands how funny it is.

They need to make a reality tv show out of me. This would be Season 2: Jordan in America.

That would be badass shit you would all watch it.

But this blog is as close as you get.

Grades are so strange here

2008-09-24T17:49:00.001-07:00

In general it is a 90% for an A, an 80% for a B and a 70% for a C. D is like 60%.

It's so ridiculous. I got a 75% so if I was in Hong Kong right now it'd be like aw man nearly an A!

Yea well good job I have a C!

DUDE THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS

I got 75% in my Geography test and I got an A.

ADGADALKGJAD

Man I am going to have to work super hard. I just realized my 93.2% (yes it is a .2 now) is JUST an A. 90% is A- for Math.

CRAP MAN

Holy Crap

2008-09-24T17:33:00.001-07:00

I got a C in my Science test.

I am still awesome.

2008-09-22T21:20:00.000-07:00

I am going to check my rankings again.

So I am 1 in better sense of humor

2 in studies harder...

Just because I am so intelligent and superior it doesn't mean I study hard. It just means I get it and you don't.

3 in a better smile!!

I don't smile a lot. Maybe that's what makes it so special. Maybe my smile is cute. And sexy. See I bet you're thinking of it now. :)

4 in Cooler

YES. I am cool. But recently I added this person who was even cooler than I was so I got bumped down to 4. You know what I bet since I added Jin he is fucking up my rankings.

Ok yes I should be 3rd in cooler. Turns out that person I added isn't as cool as me.

4 in Most Creative

What? When was I creative? I mean, if you look at this blog... it's just... plain. and white. and boring. But content-wise it is so good.

8th most popular

Stupid Jin keeps bumping me down. Also this person I added seems to be pretty awesome so I get bumped down 2 spots. :( But yea I am awesome.

8th most powerful?

Is this strength powerful or what. I'm not very strong. :(

9th rather get stuck in handcuffs with

Aw you guys just want to hold my hands.

9th most outgoing

which explains why I have so many friends here!!! Nah. Ok the truth. I have at least 2 or 3 (so that means at least 2) people I can talk to in every class.

9th can drink more

Yea dude one time when I was p6 or year 7 I was with bernice and nick at this party and then I like drank the whole gallon of Sprite or something.

OH. that. Yes. Ok. But alcohol makes me pee. a lot.

10th more useful

I know.

10th more entertaining

teehee

13th nicer

This is pretty cool. I never knew I was nice. Maybe it's recently I started turning more nice. Or not. I can't decide.

Oh dear 3 people said I was ugly.

For smarter someone said er.. ew?

Omg, he's so smart. ew!

and funnier someone said I was an ugly bastard

Omg. Russell Peters is so funny... ugly bastard.

WHAT that doesn't make sense.

I got 21 in sexier!! :D 8/10 people think I'm sexy. :D

and someone said ew to that.

Ok I got 9/18 in better taste in music that's dumb.

There is no 'better taste in music'

because that is subjective.

But good taste in music is diversity in music and being willing to explore different types of music. He/she does not just listen to what everyone else is listening to or just like some popular stuff. It's ok for an occassional Katy Perry though. She's awesome.

Right now I will just look through the leaders. Ok just some kinda popular-ish people.

That sucks.

Ok.

I give up. I think I got really bad for most cuddly. What the hell. I'm cuddly.

Why I am fucking awesome

2008-09-22T17:02:00.000-07:00

Remember my 70% and 50% on my math placement tests and how the teacher was going to put me in a class with 9th graders?

well...

It turns out I'm still fucking awesome at Math and no one can come near me. Today I got 55/58 on the first actual math test and the only question I got wrong was this one where I forgot to make the - a + for like 2-(x-6) where you are supposed to make the negative inside the bracket a positive and it was multiple choice and they were worth 3 marks and it was an all or nothing type situation.

But basically, I am fucking awesome.

At math.

And I didn't revise. All I did was use that review sheet that was for homework and I actually skipped a few questions on it.

Now I have a 93.1% grade average. On all my tests I only got 1 question wrong except for the first one where I got 19/24 and I have a perfectly good excuse for that which is my schedule was slightly fucked up so I ended up going to the wrong class and that gay math teacher guy didn't cover some of that stuff.

So yea.

93.1% grade average is right.

And you know on facebook there is this thing called 'Compare People' and I am ranked highest in 'best sense of humor' which is like so damn true cause I am exceptionally funny so you have witnessed in my blog.

And the second one is 'most studious'

wtf?

Because during last year's exams, the only subject I revised was Science. And it wasn't even that much because the only stuff I revised were the things I knew so I can feel better about myself "oh yea I know density=mass/volume. damn i'm good"

Then I revised partially for Geography. I just got an A on that test so I'm fucking awesome.

Then I didn't really revise for any other subject.

I do not study. I really don't. I'm not saying this to sound like I'm a cool person who thinks it's uncool to study. I don't. It's boring. Where were the rest of you guys during the exams? I was on MSN all day.

And I didn't get much homework either.

Speaking of homework.

Fuck I have homework I have to do.

But I like posting on this blog because you can read about how cool I am.

School's a little better. I actually talk to people during all my classes and I hide in the computer rooms during lunchtime or do homework in the library. If you guys are ever up at 3am and want to have a chat I am your go to guy.

I talk to people in class. Really. At first I only have 1 guy I talk to but now I am expanding to at least 2 or 3 people in each class.

Yes. The computer room is a good hideout for Asian people. A lot of Koreans go there to watch their Korean dramas.

Speaking of dramas I'm gonna go be a pussy and watch 1 Litre of Tears because I heard it was very good and people in Hong Kong loved it so much.

OH SHIT NO I HAVE TO DO HOMEWORK FIRST.

Apples and Oranges

2008-09-21T16:03:00.000-07:00

Recently I have been drinking a lot of orange juice. So I finally bought some Apple Juice. It tastes better.

Apple Juice is always sweet.

Orange Juice can be sour.

But when it comes to fruits it is slightly different.

Apples can be mushy. Mushy apples are really disgusting. Like super disgusting. I hate mushy apples.

Oranges are always just juicy so when you bite into it it's a bit like a drink. Yea it can be sour sometimes.

But I'd rather have a sour orange than a mushy apple.

Also apples get all yellowy and brown and nasty.

I have question.

If you got a piece of chicken and burned it in a vacuum would it turn into melted chicken? I know if you do it normally it burns but that's like the carbon in the air which oxidizes or something.

Mmm melted chicken.

Chicken gas!

I have been blogging a lot lately.

2008-09-20T17:21:00.001-07:00

Because I have a lot of things to say and I have nothing to do.

I hate my iPod. It looks a lot better without the case but without the case it will get scratched so bad. I'm just worried about the back.

Whoppers

2008-09-19T16:09:00.000-07:00

I think a while ago I made a post about how I despised Whoppers because Maltesers were superior.

Well I was wrong.

Strawberry Whoppers are the shit.

As in the good shit not the shit that comes out your butt.

My parents are so parent-y

2008-09-17T15:52:00.001-07:00

My mom calls me like 2/3 times a day. Once in the morning, once after I come home from school and sometimes at night. My dad calls like once a day.

So in one day, I usually get like 4 different phone calls a day.

In these 4 phone calls, these are the type of questions that I'm asked

"How are you" - The answers is almost always FINE. or OK. If you ask someone how are you, you can almost always expect the answer to be fine.

"How's school?" - Mom, the last time you called me was last night. Right now it is the morning. I do not go to school in my sleep. Also, stop asking me this question everyday. There isn't a lot of stuff that happens at school each day.

"Did you eat yet?" - Does it matter? If I am starving will you cook me something and airmail it to me? Will you help me order Pizza hut?

"Is there a lot of homework?" - I think I've answered this one before. YES!

"Are you awake?" - No. I'm sleeptalking.

"Are you at home?" - No. I took the homephone outside home so that when you ask this question I can say no.

"Remember to wear more clothes!" - Sorry mom I will stop dressing like a skank.

But I understand this is all out of love and I love my mom and dad very much. :)

Man that sounded corny.

I am officially not the biggest nerd in my school

2008-09-17T15:52:00.000-07:00

Not that I was ever really nerdy. Today I was in the Academics Center (room with Macs) and checking facebook and my email and stuff because I don't have anyone to talk to and there are no activities to do at lunchtime except for talk and eat lunch. So I'm checking facebook. (no i do not write blog stuff in the library because I do not want people to discover my blog!!!) and then this guy next to me logs on to fucking runescape.

Oh dear lord.

You're 15/16 and

WHAT

RUNESCAPE

unbelievable.

Facts about me #1

2008-09-16T15:07:00.001-07:00

Because I'm bored as I drink this canned chicken noodle soup thing.

I will now reveal facts about me that you may or may not know.

I do not like a tomato on it's own. When it is cooked or made into something it is yummy. For example. A raw sliced tomato in a sandwich or tomato sauce or ketchup. But a raw whole tomato or a boiled tomato or a whatever tomato is nasty. The only plain tomato that I can kind of stand is grilled tomato.

I do not like strawberries on their own! But I love like smoothies with strawberry in it and strawberry milkshakes and ice creams and yogurts or whatever. Strawberry jam is good too. But a plain strawberry on its own? No...

I like sour cream on its own. I used to think it was weird but it tastes ok now with Nachos or whatever.

I like onions. A lot. Raw onions are ok if you put them in like a salad as it adds a bit of crunch and that weird raw oniony taste, but cooked onions are really yummy.

However I think sour cream and onion is the worst flavor of chips ever made in this world. Especially the Lays ones. The Pringles ones are quite nice but the Lays Sour Cream and onion has got to be the most foul tasting chip I have ever tasted.

Ya.

What the comments really mean

2008-09-16T14:42:00.000-07:00

Because I was bored.

'pretty picture!' - you're not pretty/hot but the effects you added to it are nice.

'pretty<3' - you are not pretty but you kept posting pictures of yourself and no one comments on them so this person tries to be nice and says 'pretty<3', you then of course say thanks :)

'love it' - you're not hot but this person has to keep commenting on your photos everytime it changes just because she is your friend.

'stop being so pretty!!' - STOP POSTING SO MANY DAMN PICTURES OF YOURSELF!

'you guys are so pretty!' - your friend thinks you're a guy. No. It means one out of however many people there are in that photo look nice.

'i like your hair' - you're ugly. you're hair hasn't really changed but since your face is ugly and that person needs to comment on it since she is your friend she says this.

'nice boobs OR boobs alert OR boobies' - I noticed that you are flaunting your boobs on purpose because you are a slut and you know that your boobs are on display on this picture but you're using it to get a guys attention. The person who posted the picture now secretly hates the person that commented because the commenter pointed it out while the person who posted the picture 'didn't know' that her boobs were visible.

Either way, the boobs picture is still there until the girl gets over that guy.

'what program did you use?' - you enhanced the picture, bitch.

'i like your shirt!' - you ugly.

'i'm so jealous!!' - i commented on how hot you were, now comment on my photo bitch!

'where was this?' - you ugly. I really have no interest in where this photo was taken but man you ugly.

when no one comments - picture sucks. you're not pretty and you're not giving them anything to comment about. try again. next time wear a nice shirt so at least people can say 'i like your shirt'

when no one comments on like 10 photos - you are ugly/go lose weight

when you say 'thanks' - hahah yea bitch keep on commenting and tell me how hot i am!!

when you ignore them - you are pretending you didn't know how hot your friends tell you you are.

Top tip - Do not say "I look horrible here" because 90% of the time that's what you look like. The reason why you don't look as good as you think is because when you look in the mirror you automatically adjust your face so it looks better. That's the reason why you guys have to take the same photo 20 times before getting one you like.

Ooh a month in Americas

2008-09-15T22:24:00.000-07:00

I think I've been in America for like a month now. Ooo.

Yea things are a little better now but like not as good as Hong Kong. It's cool that now I know at least 4 people read my blog. Or 5. or 6. They just don't comment.

HEHE

Anyway now I am sitting next to the super duper extremely pretty girl in chemistry. :D

Ok. Anyway I have to sleep now so I can wake up early to talk to you guys cause you guys like to talk to me. Thanks. :D

But yea everything is definitely a bit better now. So go me. I'm starting to make like a few more friends... Maybe in another month I won't be able to count all of them with my 10 fingers.

Guys you wouldn't understand ok it's not super easy not like when like Jessica came to school and then everybody was like ooh Jessica is new!!! then everyone adds her. IT'S NOT LIKE THAT OK!

Yea. But um... I guess this is all for now. Cause I'm kinda sleepy.

OH.

I am going to change 2 bad habits of mine because I saw people do it and I was like AWWW NASTY MAN!!! or um wtf...

1. Shaking my legs like a weirdo - I do it less now. But yea it is pretty nasty. This guy in my English class does it and our classroom is like this little standalone building on some of that foundation crap or whatever and the whole room just keeps shaking.

2. Mumbling! - There is this guy in my Math class who sits next to me and he's probably from Hong Kong (local) or like a localish international school guy (i'm actually guessing the latter now) but like it's not like I'm mean or anything but whenever he says something I can barely hear him.

So yea Imma stop those 2 things now. Go meee!!!!

Oh. In football today I scored a touchdown off this hardass catch. Then I made an interception but I didn't know what I was supposed to do so I just got tagged and then we used a down or whatever.

Football is a pretty fun game if there was like less contact.

HEHEHEHEHHE

bye.

I am a beast at football

2008-09-13T01:37:00.000-07:00

Seriously man I'm so ownage I'm like the best passer touchdowner ever if like Peyton Manning is like a quarterback then I'd be like a 1back or like a 2back cause that's how much better I am than him.

Ok fine. But for someone who has been holding a football for less than a week I am pretty damn awesome. You should see how little my ball like flops side to side or whatever when it's in the air. I bet none of you can throw as well as Jordan. The PE Teacher should so put me in the football team as the quarterback so I can make some touchdowns. DAAAMN.

Jordan and the weird hacker

2008-09-11T20:46:00.000-07:00

One of the weirdest things happened to me today. I was following one of the guys in Photography today and he had his little group and they went to find this hacker who was some short fat nerdy small kid sitting in the corner of the library with his laptop and all of a sudden they started paying him money or something and the nerd had like this 10 page Microsoft Word hacking scheme. Awkward moment. Good thing I had my sandwich to bail myself out I said I was starving and I needed to eat.

Me>iPod

2008-09-09T22:22:00.000-07:00

I bought a 160GB iPod Classic and after a while I was like oh shit this is about time they release the new iPods. HA! Turns out the new iPod Classic is even worse than the one I have! It's like the middle between the 80 and the 120.

But still I win. I currently have the most practical iPod in the world. Take that!

Super hax

2008-09-09T14:40:00.001-07:00

Yep.

Football

2008-09-08T22:03:00.000-07:00

Today was the first time I played American Football in my life. Not a real football game but like catching and throwing like more than 2 times. I'm pro. I am the Michael Jordan of football. Which triggers a thought.

IMAGINE if

Michael Jordan never played basketball.

What if he was just like yo I'mma play baseball and he turns out to be a really crap baseball player (which he is) on the professional level. He would be like the Brian Scalabrine of baseball and people would make Michael Jordan jokes. So they'd be like "Yo I'm Derek Jeter!!" then someone would be like yea more like "Michael Jordan"

And in that 8 year span where he won 6 championships, just imagine Michael Jordan sitting in front of his couch in a small apartment with his children. He'd be like "Oh. Jazz won the championship."

HOW STRANGE IS THAT!?

There are probably like millions of undiscovered talents. Maybe you have one too. Maybe me. Maybe I was born to be the bestest football player ever but I was too busy trying to be good at basketball but in the end I'm just pretty average.

But now that I discovered all this it'll probably never happen.

Oh well there's always racewalking.

Answers

2008-09-08T21:52:00.001-07:00

Seriously, like, you don't even have ONE friend? Like, not even in class?

I have one friend kinda. I'm his partner in PE. He's good at football but I don't think he's like good enough to be on the football team or he isn't bothered. I am talking to people more during class so it's ok. I talk to more people in History because I have history with freshmen and those people tend to be more open to talking to others. Or maybe it's just me.

Have you joined any clubs? No I don't know where they are.

What is the food like? Shit. I had it the first day. It was like reheated frozen pizza and chocolate milk. I paid $4.25 for it so I was like fuck this imma eat sandwich.

Some changes to my classes.

2008-09-07T15:43:00.000-07:00

If any of you read about my classes, some of them changed. My Math and History classes switched around, which is fine. My new math teacher is like a hot math teacher (i know right?) and my History teacher is like some really old one. But she seems quite nice.

Ok nevermind I just got an email of that Summer math homework that I needed to do and she's like oh this needs to be done by Tuesday the very latest.

Fuck that.

But yea that Math teacher gives a lot of homework.

But she's hot ;)

Bahahahaha

Also I dropped Chinese and now I'm taking Foods. I need some certain like Foods credits or something in order to graduate so I need it. It's a very easy class from what I see. It's just like cooking and stuff. There was this cute girl in my Foods class that was like "If you put more ingredients... do you get more biscuits?"

AWWWWWW :D:D:D:D:D:D

Ok.

But yea time to do whatever Chemistry homework I was assigned. Cause obviously I have Chemistry tomorrow. I just finished this reading log that I was supposed to do.

And now I'm like doing homework and blogging and watching that Lindsay Lohan movie with 2 Lindsay Lohans in it.

Multitasking.

Bahahahhaha I'm a genius.

The Lindsay Lohan movie is cool.

Bye for now.

Don't forget to ask questions! :D

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have any friends?

No.

Any hot chicks?

Yes. Plenty.

Aww some people actually read my blog. :D

2008-09-07T08:43:00.000-07:00

And I'm doing some stupid read log right now about a book where there's this black guy and people are racist and stuff.

Hi

2008-09-04T16:21:00.000-07:00

I'm still alive. School's ok. It's just I get incredibly bored at lunchtime because I have no friends.

What a saddo.

So yea for the last 2 days for the first time in my life I just kinda sat myself in the corner or somewhere by myself and I ate lunch. I felt so stupid and lonely. :(

But yea you know some people have been that person sitting in the corner pretty much their whole lives. So I guess I learned a bit of a lesson there.

And like a lot of you guys said you would read my blog but it's only Chris. Kevin (Teng) wanted to read it as well but I made it private in case someone discovers it. But I found out how to hide my blog so people can't see it when they click my name in that photo blog.

But yea. I'm starting to talk to people more in classes so it's getting better. It's just the lunchtimes which are like the least favorite part of my day.

Photo class is pretty boring. That's the class where I'm like the most alienated so far and I don't really get most of the stuff. But yea. I actually added one person today. This guy in my PE Class. I thought he would be the key to me to knowing more friends but he was like "This school sucks. I'm just gonna graduate and get out of here."

At least we had one thing in common! :P

I also get a shitload of math homework. The stuff isn't really hard cause I'm super smart and I understand it. :)

But yea I'm coming back Christmas. Bye guys.

First day of school

2008-08-26T15:35:00.000-07:00

So today was my first day of American school. I have a feeling that this blog will be discovered soon so I will not mention any names. Not that I know any names, seeing as I have no friends here.

awww :(

Anyway today was a slightly different day and tomorrow will be as well. I had all my subjects today. For you noobies that are curious I take Photography (because I am now a cool artsy person), World History (AKA History), Contemporary Writing (AKA English), PE, Chinese, Chemistry (HONORS!!) and uh... 'Algebra2/Trigonometry Honors' (AKA Math). Don't my subjects sound all cool and fancy? :D

So the first lesson I had was Photography. It was pretty cool and since this is the highest chance my blog will be discovered since there is this photo blog I will say she is awesome and amazing. Ok. But she's pretty cool. She's new to the school as well and she's like a pro photographer with her own website. So that will be interesting.

Second lesson was World History. I had to take this with Freshmen cause I wasn't here last year. I'm not really sure why I need to do that because I think if I take history with Sophomores it will be the same. I have no idea. Whatever. I haven't learnt anything yet but I got this hugeass textbook which luckily I don't have to bring to school. I never really liked History but looks like I will have to do it. Noooooooooooo.

Third lesson was contemporary writing (ENGLISH!!) It was ok. Nothing too special so far. I got homework and there's like this thing called 'turnitin.com' that I have to hand my work in to but I don't know how that works.

The fourth lesson was PE! There were like a couple hundred people gathered into one gym (the gym is badass I count 10 basketball hoops and like the walls and stuff are painted with GUNN and stuff.) And there was like a bit of introduction to the different stuff.

Fifth lesson was Chinese. I kind of cheated and I pretended my Mandarin wasn't too good so I can stay in that class instead of like doing Spanish or something harder. HEHE :D

Sixth lesson was Chemistry. The teacher is awesome! He's like a gamer and he has like all these XBOX/Halo/Guitar Hero stuff all over his room and he burned a gummy bear in some dangerous acid thing. He's really funny. :)

And the last lesson was Math. The teacher looks like the guy from What The Buck show and he was from Texas and he writes numbers kinda funny, but I think I'll do ok in Math unlike what my test scores suggest.

So all the lessons seemed ok. I just need to get used to some of the new stuff.

The school is all pimped out with Macs and all the desks had chairs built into them kinda like the old ICT desks that they threw away. But yea. I think nearly all computers I've seen at this school so far are Macs. Such Mac loyalists. Or it might be because apparently Steve Jobs lives here. Or so it says in the Wikipedia article.

Anyway, have fun reading this Chris. And tell Nick to read it he promised he would read it.

Oh the lunch here is so bad I paid $4.25 American and I got a slice of pizza and a small carton of reduced fat chocolate milk. YAY!

Holy Shit!

2008-08-25T13:58:00.000-07:00

I just did a Math Placement test for my new school and I got 70% for Algebra and 50% for Geometry.

That's a new personal low!

:)

2008-08-21T11:45:00.000-07:00

As you can see I have not really been committing to my blog much. Maybe i'll do more later when I start school so all of you (which is no one really. Maybe Chris if you're still here.) can see how I'm doing. I just got GTA4 for my PS3... It's pretty fun so far but then it's like really not much different from the others except the graphics are insanely good.

I finished assembling all of the furniture in the house (go me) and right now I'm sitting on the floor blogging with my sister's friend's Macbook (...) and eating Hawaiian food with my PS3 turned on on my 37 inch TV.

GTA4 is a fun game. It's kind of hard to play cause there might be a super swear word bit or sex bit coming up but yea. It's fun so far. I'm waiting for NBA 2k9 to come out.

I miss Hong Kong. It's weird how you can't just go home. This 20 year old apartment (which looks very nice) is my home. I can not just find some of my Hong Kong friends and be like hi let's be friends. No you can not do that. Because they are on the other side of the world.

I gave up on Warcraft 3. Well I haven't really. I might play it sometimes. I haven't even installed it on my computer but I installed NBA Live 06 already. :P which is a pretty crap game. I can't use my PC right now because I infected it with some malware crap that I bought over with my iPod (i put my files on it) and then it kinda spread then it got some key windows files then the spyware thing detected it and deleted it. Whoops.

So now I'm waiting for a Windows XP disk to save it. I have this deepass papercut on my finger. :(

Yea.

Whatever. No one reads this anyway.

Bye!

New post... In USA.

2008-08-16T22:26:00.001-07:00

So I haven't updated my blog in a while. No I hvae not been playing Warcraft everyday. I kinda got bored of it. Anyway I'm in USA now. A couple of guys sent me off at the airport (thanks guys :D) and then I got on the plane.

At the boarding gate there were like so many Indians there must've been like 80% Indians I had to check to make sure I was going to San Francisco in case it was a flight to New Delhi or somewhere. So when I got on the plane I had to sit next to this Saddam Hussein look-a-like who kinda smelled bad.

So here I am in USA. I look kind of lost. It's pretty weird. Like I don't know what clothes I'm supposed to wear cause a lot of the brands are too white and some of them are too black. What the hell are clothes for Asian boys!?

But yea it's definitely different. I can just be kinda me and be so cool in Hong Kong but in USA I fee like I'm at the bottom of the food chain. People hang out in race groups. There's like a bunch of Mexican dudes together the Indian dudes stick together the white guys stick together and the black guys and all their homies stick together. And dude why do all the Asian guys have shaved heads!? Do I need to shave my head too!?

I have like a week or 2 left until school starts and you know I'm kind of looking forward to it to see how it turns out.

Graaaaaaaaaaaah

Ok.

I'm just waiting for the 100m hurdles thing then I'll go to sleep.

Oh I got a Sansa Clip :D

Hi

2008-08-06T09:42:00.001-07:00

Nearly a month since my last post. Wow. In like 1 week I'll be on a plane going to USA and saying good bye to this amazing city that gets to be listed as a country like all the other countries. Aw man I'll miss Hong Kong and everybody I know here so much! I want to buy a I *Heart* HK T-Shirt. But like I'm never bothered to. But I really should.

My first DotA kill and win. :D

2008-07-16T05:16:00.000-07:00

Yes. Say hello to the DotA God.

Oh and I'm only 'jdan' when I play by myself my battlenet is giordun

:)

DotA

2008-07-12T20:14:00.001-07:00

Just finished my first game in DotA. Me against no Heroes. :D

But now I have an idea of how to play. I was the Bone Clinkz guy. He's so cool.

Time to play DotA and get better <3

I got Warcraft 3.

2008-07-05T02:59:00.000-07:00

Uh oh.

Jelly Belly

2008-06-29T23:28:00.000-07:00

So yesterday I went to MegaBox (That place is fucking huge) and I think it's like the first time I've been there since it was made. I went to the Jelly Belly store with Jamie and Francesca and I got 100g of Jelly Beans for like $19.9. The guy that was weighing accidentally put like 2 jelly beans more and it was like 101.5g but he couldn't do anything about it cause he can't put it back in so i ended up getting a little bit more!

So I had 100g of like 49 flavored assorted Jelly beans and DAMN they're good even though I got a lot of Bubble Gum, Orange, Chocolate Pudding and this yummy Strawberry one. They're all pretty good but I wish I had some other flavors. The Butter Popcorn one is crazy good cause when you eat it your whole mouth just fills up with that popcorn taste. DAMN!!

The Cantaloupe one is also pretty interesting. The Coconut one is really good.

GO JELLY BELLY!
