my long weekend in the south bay was great. lots of food and trips to various stores. thank god i'm done with midterms =D just a sudden thought: i think i'm getting used to my life and sometimes i'd forget to pay attention to small detail and forget to cherish them. living my life with someone i love and do many things with her on a daily basis are treasures in other ppl's eyes. leng lui, i think we both need to slow down and look at what we already have that we used to dream for. agree?

People are unreasonable,illogical and self-centered.Love them anyway.If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.Do good anyway.If you ! are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.Succeed anyway.Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable.Be honest and Frank anyway.The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind.Think big anyway.What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.Build anyway.People really need help, but may attack you if you help them.Help people anyway.Give the world the best you've got, and you might get kicked in the teeth.Give the world the best you've got anyway.-- Author Unknown

hi, lynn. thx for ur msg. it's good to hear fr you again. i got a weird sms(just a blank one) around my bday, was wondering who that was ^.^ there's 2 lynns in my life(not quite a common name afterall =P ) and i dont talk to the other lynn. so guess what? i usually leave a hi for u cuz i figure u should be reading journal more often than i read it myself =P (arrogant, huh?) there's so much going on in my life and i often forget to write them here so lets just assume everything else is fine with me and that nothing serious is bothering me. take good care of urself. the heat and moist(possibly typhoons) are coming back in asia so be prepared for it =P i'm glad i have a friend like you.

it's sooo hot in davis >_< pain in everyone's ass!!!! i really wish that ppl mind their own business when a girl doesnt wear a top like how it is with a guy being topless.. sigh, but i'm restricted by how the world would judge me if i do. anyway, i've been busy fanning all the pets of the house (2guinea pigs and 3hamsters) in the afternoon and changing new and fresh water for them. they must've wondered, "arg, whats going on? whats up with all the heat?? AHHHH! i'm stuck in this darn cage!!!" so i set a few cool packs around them hopefully they can survive. i cant lose them! i barely got them a few months ago!!! =P

oh, i have a midterm tmr.. whoops. i think i know what i should be doing.

i saw lunar eclipse tonight! it's not beautiful and all but i'm glad i've seen one in my life. so, after so many diff arguments that i am finally staying this weekend in davis. have midterm next thurs. need to cram so bad >.< Lord, please bless me on focusing my mind and managing my own time in the most efficient way.

havent updated this for a long time... it's like i dont have time to sit down and think quietly what to share with those who care for me. i forgot what got into me lately that i became more patient and caring for lori. it's like, sometime she pisses me off, i'd say something bad in return just to punish her. last night, i realized that i'm more patient toward her negative attitude. so i just went to study instead of "punishing" her for being rude to me. i hope this positive change will last tho. hopefully it'll last if no one "walks an inch closer to me"

A Piece of Cake
Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this", or "Why did
God have to do this to me". Here is a wonderful explanation!
A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong,
she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best
friend is moving away.

Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she
would like a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love
your cake."
"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers.

"Yuck" says her daughter.
"How about a couple raw eggs?"
"Gross, Mom!"
"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"
"Mom, those are all yucky!"
To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by
themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they
make a wonderfully delicious cake! God works the same way. Many
times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and
difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in
His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and,
eventually, they will all make something wonderful! "
God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a
sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He
can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.

If you like, send this on to the people you really care about. I
did. I hope your day is a "piece of cake!"

davis is so hot today and probably from now on. sigh~ the heat is killing me!! >_< altho i expected it to arrive 2months ago, ngan said, "it's making up for it" ^@$%!#$ NOOO!~!! anyway, i think i need to seriously catch up on bio..midterm next week, so i think i better start this week since i'm kinda lost in that class.

lori, i know we still have a lot to catch up on in each other's life and lots to share and to know about each other; the little disbutes among us recently are just small challenges and i hope u understand why i dont 100% support your decision most of the time. i dont like myself being so self-centered sometime (i have my own way of thinking and dealing w/matters and not likely to be altered by your way of dealing w/matters, etc) i know you are trying hard to hold back the feelings or comments you want to share with me just becuz i get upset. cheuk yee, u need to deeply encarve this in mind that nothing (stupid comments, name calling, how others treat you) will affect who you are in my heart. why am i not mad or enraged by others' rudeness towards you? cuz i'm not here to judge who's right or not or to take which side in this matter. revenging or paying back has nothing to do with our affection toward each other. please understand that staying calm is part of what i do to love you.

hi, lynn. have a great day ^.^

ok, so i lied to my mom and my housemate so i could stay this weekend in davis. why? some personal reason that between only a few of us is enough. anyway, spent my weekend quite unproductively so far =P but one thing to be happy about is that DoDo is getting used to me ^___^ still running around when we walk near him but if i move slowly toward him and call his name a few times that eases away his tension. that silly boy. oh yea, he stinks. literally.

oh yea, happy 11/12 th anniversary, honey.

if people leave u for no reason, it's either you've got problems or people have some misunderstanding about you. but if diff people leave u time after time and place after place, please accept the fact that there's something about you that people dont like about. move on and find some who'd appreciate for who you are instead of changing your own self for others. even i dont try hard to make friends with those who dont like me. i go to those who like me for acceptance and friendship. common sense, right?

feel tired all day. physics lab was a torture.

need to fix my freakin' CD player and finish my hw now.

was gonna complain about my bio midterm last week but internet died on me and things carried me away until now that i finally remembered to update my journal. bio midterm was horribly long. a lot of people didnt finish their midterms. at least i did, so i hope i didnt fail it. anyway, i'm still not working hard this quarter =\ sigh. felt sick after internship today. had a horrible headache all day that i had to take an advil. i never take any pain relievers on stomachache, etc.
anyway, so i'm getting along with DoDo. i'd love to spend as much time that takes him to get used to me. spending time with a shy little guy like him is very important so u'd find me sitting there talking to him for an hour or so everyday. he's a sweet little guy sometime when he's in my arms. BeBe is acting weird ever since DoDo moved into the apartment. well, the fact that i no longer spend the usual hours on her but on DoDo instead.

played my first monopoly in english tonite. i had played the chinese version before with street names in chinese, etc. quite fun.
