Chris' Lunar New Year Party was last night
I saw Steve and Dave Grotts at Albertsons on Saturday when I went with Le to buy some alcohol. Kimsun and one of his friends, Emily came and tagged along since we were all a bit too early to the party.
At the party I was made to take a shot because Le forgot Trinh(?)'s name. So somehow that made me liable for party foul by friend relation. Either way I just took the shot because how can you refuse alcohol?
From there things escalated. Chris made me a drink and then I think James also made me one although I might have just imagined that. Kevin made me 2 or 3 shots as well but the stuff he made was pretty light.
And then when I went back for more to drink no one was there to mix me a drink so I made my own drink. I put in some kind of banana flavored rum(?) and some melon alcohol and then put some pepsi on top of it. It tasted pretty good
I wonder if Pepsi will ever come out with Banana Pepsi because that's what it tasted like.
The rest of the night was fun. Just going around randomly and hanging out with people. Being outside was nice because it was cool but apparently the Cha people could hear us across the street?
Le let me crash at his place since I had driven over there. I had to wake up early to head back home because I was going with my family to some Chinese New Year Festival in Pasadena.
First though, we stopped off at this place that sold these beautiful pieces of pottery from somewhere in China (forgot the name) where all they do is make pottery.
Here is an example of some of the pots.
For some reason there was some sort of "Military Museum" next to this place but it turns out it was just some random guy who kept a lot of old military junk and charging $4 to see it all. There was a tank and battleship AA gun. I couldn't tell what kind of tank it was so it may just be some fake but my sister and I took pictures in front of it anyways.
Here is the AA gun.
More stuff inside the store.
Haha and then I saw the greatest thing as I was about to leave
So when we got there I guess we got on the butt end of the parade because everyone was stopping and getting off their float.
The girl on the very top of the float is Miss Los Angeles China Town 2005. I didn't catch her name though
This is one of the bands. Santa Ana Winds Youth Band. They have a Bass Clarinetist
Here's me in front of the dragon that was at the end of the parade.

In the spirit of wanting something right now and not later, I bought The Killer's CD, "Hot Fuss" at Target today and am now enjoying it.
I also bought Sam Reservoir Dogs and Fight Club for his birthday. Sam also got drunk off 3/4 pints of beer and then threw it all up about an hour after we got home.

Erik Trainer guessing Texas Paper, aka Texas Papel aka Texas Patel aka Tejas Patel drawn by Michael Chen is the new "that website that guesses super villans" actually getting Rita Repulsa.
Did that make sense?

I just want to thank everyone who came to my little party tonight. I'm really drunk right now so yeah I'm drunk.
Thank you Christine, Jiner, Pranav, Mark, Erik and Asuka for taking me two the two places. That first one at Diamond Plaza and Banana Bay. I'm so freaking buzzed right now.
Anyways. Thank you everyone else who came, Erik, Pranav, Mark, Asuka, Akash, Frances, Christina, Andrew, Don, Christine, Jen Law (yea! the only one from CA), Jiner and whoever else I'll remember in the morning. Wow. I had too many drinks to write coherently. I had what they called a 3 wise men (double shot) and a stop light. I also had a liquid cocaine so as I'm writing this I am freaking buzzed. Okay more tomorrow when I get sober.

"Xin Nian Kuai Le" or how I learned to stop worrying and love the money.
Gong Xi Fa Cai
Edit:
Xin Nian Kuai Le = Happy New Year
Gong Xi Fa Cai = Congradulations, what you say to elders when they give you red envelopes

Friday was Amy's birthday, Pranav and I got her the Lion King DVD and one of those kodak mini sticky picture cameras. She liked both gifts... or so she says!
Anyways I got a haircut on Sunday so before the dinner party I was trying to decide whether or not to wearmy beanie to hide my messy hair to which I finally decided to screw it and just go without a beanie. The entire week I had gone wearing that beanie everytime I went to class to the point of it getting very annoying. If Nature wants to pick a week to make Southern California very nice and warm it would have been this past week. Unfortunately wearing a wool beanie tends to make your head very hot.
That's it. I'll have pictures up later maybe. I'm all ready behind in classes :(

Year In Pictures 2003
Friday was the 3rd annual THS 2001 Thanksgiving thing'of'a'ma'bobber dinner held at Buca Di Beppo's.
Our waiter was pretty cool, one of the waitresses spilled iced tea on Andrew and uhm yeah.
Well it is late so I will update this in the morning. Send me the pictures from the event. I was too busy stressing out to remember to take any pictures.
Update: 12/03
I'm a little late getting this update because I have been a little bit busy and I really don't know how to word this.
Over the past three years, I've been somewhat involved somehow in all of our get togethers whether it is helping out the planners (read: Don and James) or just going to them. This Thanksgiving dinner was the first thing I actually was heading as one of the main planners, unless you count getting together for the LOTR movies, which I will talk about later.
Let me tell you this is not an easy job, not that figuring out what to do was a real problem. The problem is basically just getting people to confirm whether or not they're coming in the first place. For many people they do not know what they are planning to do over the break so for a lot of people it is uncertain. The fact that I had to shift the time up two hours did not help things as I believe 2 people could not make the earlier timeslot.
Considering who goes to these things is a headache to. People seem offended if they are not invited, and I understand that. But understand that since this is a dinner I cannot invite every single person I know. It's not easy figuring out who comes and who doesn't. Sorry if I didn't invite you but that's just how it is. I tried to invite people who would want to come and talk with the other people. And for the most part I only invited those who I had talked at least within the past six months.
I was going to write more but I'm tired of thinking about this subject. Thanks for everyone who decided to come and sent e-mails to me afterwards. And thanks to Erik and Pranav for helping me out with planning this event.

I moved into my new Irvine apartment late Friday night to avoid the bumrush of freshmen who would come on the weekend. So I was well settled in by the time the wave of people came.
Friday night I didn't do much, just setup my computer and move around some of the stuff in my room so that we could get everything organized. Our subletters over the summer were horrible people... well, maybe not that bad but still not very good tenants. They left a mess and didn't pay me my last month's rent. At least he left his (old) TV here so I can watch football games on Sunday.
Saturday night Jeanette invited me to some kind of dinner thing that her mom setup in Irvine. I wasn't sure what kind of dinner it was but it was free food! Little did I know when I got there that it was something for her mom's buddhist temple. Haha I was scared about these things because I never feel comfortable attending these functions which are religious in nature. Still it was okay because it wasn't like anyone was harassing me about why I wasn't a buddhist.
Afterwards we went back to Jeanette's apartment to hang out a bit before going to Shawn's party. A whole bunch of CA members came by to go with us to the party.
When we got there there were only a small crowd of people playing cards in the corner and a few others scattered about. The only person I knew was Kat from CA. There were also three guys who were from Shawn's last party but I couldn't remember their names. As the party progressed I got more and more social :) but I was sad 'cause almost everyone from CA had left after maybe an hour at the party. But it was cool cause like I said, there were cool people there :) Fay came by later as well! Haha that girl is awesome (possum).
The next day (Sunday), I had lunch with Jeanette, Fay and Allan at this Greek restaurant. The food was okay but nothing spectacular. Maybe I just didn't like the food but the meat tasted funny. I guess that's what you get when you eat meat that they make by rotating it around a pole heightwise. Later on when I got back Donny IM'd me for an unscheduled trip to LA to visit our friend Esther's apartment. So Donny, Erik and I headed up there to join up with her and Kenny. We hung out for a bit and Esther made us some pasta and ice cream. What a great host! :)
After a stop at In'n'out, we were suppose to hang out Geoff Parker but he bailed on his to be with his lady, Lady Liquor that is. Instead we met up with Robin andDamien Demian from high school. Robin was still as cool as ever. I never knew her that well in high school other than the fact we had Benner Junior year, still she has treated me as some friend that she has known for years ever since we've graduated. Maybe it's just that she's so nice, either way it's all good. Had a nice talk with her and Esther about school.
I think I am extending this too long so I will try to summarize Monday.
Erik came to CV. Ate Carls Jr. Went to Josh's apartment. Jammed. Went to AV. Visited Jeff. Visited Kenny's room. His Roommate suggested we goto eat at Pat and Oscar's. Goto Pat and Oscar's. Eat good food. HATE THE FACT THAT THEIR BATHROOM TILES REFLECT SO MUCH. Went to watch Old School on the lower lawn. Went back to my apartment.
Today is Tuesday.
Edit: For those reading below, I do not hate Radiohead. I think I'm gay for them right now. They play such sad songs (Exit Music, True Love Waits), rock songs (Electioneering, Myxomatosis) and even songs that are 3 songs in one (Paranoid Android) Oh yeah and also a slew of radio hits (High and Low, Creep, Karma Police, Paranoid Android, Optimistic, There There). I use to have a copy of the Kid A CD in my car Senior year of high school and that was almost all I blasted for most of the year. I loved that album (although disliked Amnesiac).

20, a nice even round number. Half way to 40, quarter of a way to 80.
Today was the second time at a birthday party for Mark. Only this time it wasn't near Diamond Bar, and this time it was without Don and since there was no Don there was no way for us to get lost in Puente Hills and therefore end up ending at Chili's; not that that would have been bad.
Anyways Mark shows up in a blindfold and we all laugh, hahaha... The servers seemed really rude at the beginning just because we needed another table. We ate and chatted for most of the dinner.
Lots of pictures that I wish there was some way to post them on my website.
Afterwards we went to go get boba and then to Pranav's to play some Halo.
