bad morning
December 31st, 2001
man i have the worst morning. i went to greyhound station to purchase my tickets for the trip. first of all i found out it will take a day and 13 hours to get from here to Fort Lauderdale, FL, that’s crazy. and then they raised the price on me. last time i called, they said it’s $119 for a round trip, now it’s $158. what’s up with that? that’s not even the worst. when i gave her my check, they got this message from telecheck saying there’s something wrong with my check. i went to my bank to find out what’s wrong. they told me there’s nothing wrong with my account and i need to call telecheck. great! i went to the lab and called the 800 number and they told me all they wanted was to verify it was “me” who’s writing the check. so the greyhound ppl could have just called them. he also said he’s verified my check for me so i should be able to use that check now. i was first pissed at the greyhound, how stupid can they get? so i walked five blocks back to the station and told them what was going on and let them try again. they told me it’s still not working. they called the 800 number too, several times. instead of getting an answer, they told me they only got a “we can not locate information” recording. WHAT???!!!
i wasted TWO hours walking in the snow with my high heels (ouch my feet hurt) and got ABSOLUTELY nothing!!! i still didn’t get the tickets even tho i HAVE the money. what is that??! it’s some stupid telecheck. GRRRR. i’m so mad. i don’t even know who to blame and where this trouble came from.
that’s such a bad morning ><
registration test
December 30th, 2001
i’ve been working on the new registration test hack since 6 in the morning. I put all the questions in the database and allow random arrangement of the questions to prevent trial on error kinda cheating. all tests are also logged with my database now. so i can track ppl down.. hehehehe…
andy’s friend mike’s pet was very ill last nite. 
it was a mouse. a cute little white one. mike was so sad so andy had to comfort and also help him to put his pet out of his misery. i got to watch discovery channel all day yesterday. i was at andy’s bro’s. it’s so fun. man, i miss discovery channel =P it’s the only thing i watch on tv.
i think i need to spend more time with andy today.. so…

a poem for my love
December 28th, 2001
I listen to your breath
I put my head on your chest
and hear your heartbeat
It’s the most peaceful moment
I can’t help but reminisce
all the beautiful songs we
wrote for each other
Sometime I wish you can hear
my heart calling
They are the words I can not
speak out loud.
It’s the feeling I have
sometimes strong
sometimes weak
Stories built on experiences
They taught me watch out
for certain things on the road
I’m looking forward to sew together
my broken dreams too
Eager but helpless
I just want you to know
I still love you so
If you can see it in my tears
feel it in my touches
hear it my voices
New year is awaiting
I want to look out of the window
See brightness outside
Will you please hold my hand?
I love you
dodo
day’s over
December 27th, 2001
yesterday was more exciting than i expected. not long after i got to work, i got a phone call from andy telling me his car died on him. poor andy >< he had to get it towed and fixed in the shop. he ended up spending $180 for the alternator >< that's a lot of money for him. he's still trying to save enough to pay for his tuition for next semester. sigh.. i guess i will be buying the grocery tonite.
oh i still haven’t had much chance to get pictures of my gifts. i tried to get some shots of them on my cam. but it was too bright in the room. since both of the hellokitty gifts are white, they reflect too much light. you can bearly see them in the cam. and that’s not all. while i was exicting getting cam pictures with those two gifts in my hand, i spilled my soda and it splashed onto the bed. and guess what? i didn’t have enough time to clean it up coz i had to catch the bus for my work today. grrr.. what a wonderful morning! now i’m here at the lab and no one’s here! oh well, free money i guess. i was addicted to my book earlier. i think i will go read it. btw, it’s a chinese book.
This girl is absolutely amazing. She composed this song at the age of 8. I’m in love with it now. I showed andy. He’s inspired and started composing on his guitar.. hmmm….
i’ve got christmas card from snail mails from daynah, vera and bobbi so far. Thank you you guys!!! Sweet hugs!!!!
check out my new pictures =)
back from christmas
December 26th, 2001
i know i haven’t been online. i’ve been carried away by holiday spirit maybe. we’ve been going to different places. andy’s got so many relatives. we needed to go to his aunts, dad’s, step grand parents, mom’s, bro’s. i’ve got some really neat presents. everyone knows i like hello kitty. i need to show you those hello kitty toys i’ve got. i’m finally back to work today. it’s so quiet here. unbelieve! i will be stuck here for next five hours, probably no one would ever show up. i will just be here all by myself. wow, how exciting. i will try to catch up some of the online business.
i figured out why i’m bombarded with junk mails now. for some reason, ever since i logged in everyone.net last time, i’ve been getting every single email sent to every blah@pure-essence.net to my mail box. i tried to contact everyone.net. but it seems like they no longer answer questions for unpaid members. =( i had to change my forwards there so they have no way to know my real address. so dodo@pure-essence.net will no longer work. grr.. i hope i will stop getting those annoying emails!
i’ve had over 200 emails in my mail box. jenn sent me a gift
i love it!! thank you!!!
here’s one from daynah!
and from michelle
moving to the new server, mysql seems to be more stable. but they start to ignore my requests in the cp. i only asked to change the time out time for my ftp and fix the corrupted tables for my chatroom. neither of them have been done. those are not even hard. i guess i will let them go for couple more days since it’s holidays.
thanks for all the holiday wishes!!! i’m sorry i didn’t get time to wish everyone. i will just thank you all very dearly!!
YESSS!!!
December 21st, 2001
finals are gone!!!! no one’s at the lab today so we are closing an hour early. i’m done for today and ready to go home =) i will be putting up a new layout for new millennium. i believe i aced the discrete structure test. i didn’t do too bad on the cs test. there is a little confusion in one of the problems. the rest are pretty straight forward. hopefully i will get As in both of the classes. i asked andy if he’d like to go joggin tonite. we didn’t keep up with that due to my sickness and final week. so it’s the best time to do it now =)
i got christmas cards from daynah and ladyceres. thanks you guys!!
what’s up with yahoo mails? I’ve getting bulk mails delivered to my INBOX like 5 per minute or something. every time i check my mail, there are about 80% junk mails. i’m so irritated. hate digging thru those stupid ads!!!
secret santa
December 20th, 2001
secret santa is going mostly well except some members didn’t get any gifts. i plan to start a general secret santa and allow ppl to make gifts to those who didn’t receive any at the end. that should be cool. i’m making at least one for every one of those =) everyone should get some gifts for christmas yeah? =)
yesterday i took that art history final. eeek. it sucked. i didn’t want to take a second look once i finished. i think i at least passed. that’s all i really need to do for that test. i’m taking that course as a pass or fail course. no more art history class for the rest of my life. next semester i’m taking:
- Computer Organization and Hardware
- China 1800 - Present
- Interpretation of Literature
- Principle of Chemistry
That will really suck. I will be so much busier than this semester. grr.. oh well, i suppose i dont have to worry about that yet. oh yeah, have i told you i got an A in my creative writing class? The teacher left only praise in my evaluation. gosh. i’m like his favorite student or something =P but that class turned out much better than i excepted. maybe i will take it again for extra credits =P
i’m pluggin stacey. her new layout is too awesome to be missed. unwavering.net looks awesome too. i need to learn how to do those vectors in ps 6. where can i find some tutorials?
quizno’s is so expensive. i went there and now i’m broke =P $6.49 for a sub. that’s not fair. i only went there coz toco bell has the longest line i’ve ever seen in my life. eek, my mouth smells like onions now. even with eclipse in my mouth. =P
>< i fainted at school
December 18th, 2001
i got up at 8 this morning. andy gave me a ride to school. i was heading for the 9:45 final for eastern asian art. when we went outside his car was all frosty. i got an empty cd case and started scraping the windows, all the sudden i felt very dizzy. i sat back in the car, i felt a little bit better. i arrived at the imu building around 9 and was ready to buy something for my breakfast. i knew i didn’t feel well so i wrote an email to see if any of my co-workers would like to take my shift for me. then i stood up and walked to the Union Pantry. all i wanted that time was some cold apple juice, unfortunately my head got so dizzy when i was taking my money from my wallet, i was having trouble breathing. then my head went black for a second, i fell on the ground and i threw up. it went really fast. i heard lots noise. lots people came and helped. i was very touched. a professor stayed with me the longest. she was so concerned about me altho it was the first time i ever met her. she took me to the bathroom, and she bought me a bottle of apple juice. then some other ppl called my art professor telling him i probably won’t be able to make it to the test. after i filled out an incident report, i found the professor who stayed with me was Alice Fulton. (Later i got an email from her asking me if I felt better.) She walked me upstair and let me sit in a couch and asked me if i wanted her to stay. i felt really bad wasting her so much time so i told her i was okay.
i stayed on the couch for an hour, i planned to take the test afterwards. so i walked to the art building and talked to my professor. he told me i could take a make up test any time i want. i really shouldn’t do it when i’m not feeling well.
by that time, i found out someone decided to take my shift at work, i could basically go home and rest. so i did. i freaked andy out when i called him and told him what happened tho.
nevertheless, i had a good rest. i watched “Big Daddy” when i got up. we had dinner and took a walk outside. i went to my old high school. it was fun showing andy around there. he went to a different high school in the city. but there were high school football games at my school which he went to. too bad i never met him earlier =P
tomorrow i will be at a review section for my computer science final. after that, i will go take my art make up test. now it’s time for sleep again =) yawn…..
hostee
December 17th, 2001
two years of hosting, now you look at catherine’s page, that’s all i got. i don’t really care that she said that. except all my other hostees thanked me for hosting them while they go on to another host or their own domain. they treated me as a friend and respected me as a person. sad, isn’t it? i really didn’t know much about her. i first met her thru kimi. (jee how long ago was that!) she owned a cute ring much like kimi’s. and i only wanted host her ring. did she ask for permission to bring all her other sites on my domain? not i can think of. i don’t usu. nag my hostees unless i have real problems. it turned out her cam pages are eating a lot of bandwidth these days. esp. the direct linking of her cam. it’s everywhere. tell you the truth, i dont like that. but i kept quiet. she only talks to me when something doesn’t work for her on the server. that’s a pretty pathetic host hostee relationship i’d say. so i suppose i learn from that. will never host someone i’m not close with any more.
i left a message on her guestbook today. that’s the last time i will contact her. say bye bye!
