The Two Towers

Andy’s brother has bought The Two Towers DVD so we watched the movie AGAIN. OH GOD, it’s soooo good. I love it from my heart. I have to say this is really one of the best movies ever made. They showed a preview for the 3rd movie. Now I seriously can’t wait for it to come out. We need a count down :)

So many great things are coming out the end of this year.

no more dmb this week

i think i’m doing good. so far i haven’t visited dmb. i don’t plan to visit it this entire long weekend. to save myself from insanity. certain people there just keep getting on my nerves. that is not supposed to be a place that irritates me. but it’s been doing that. i will just take a complete break from it right now.

our tentative plan for the weekend is to visit chicago. of course we will stay at andy’s aunt’s house for free *hehe* but i don’t know what’s gonna turn out. vera’s entry is giving me second thought. do i really want to dive into the masses of travelers?

our second movie

due to bandwidth problem, it’s gone

second.ASF is the file. it’s 3.3mb. go see.. it’s hilarious LOL excuse the lighting problem. we took it last nite. it was really dark. if you know a software that can brighten the movie, please let me know. well it supposed to show you around our house. i was gonna make a movie of me singing karaoke but andy couldn’t stop SNIFFING due to his allergy!! XP guess we have to pick another time to do that. it ended suddenly too coz hrm.. we went of memory on our campact flash card *bleh*

on another note, a downtown chinese restaurant has been burned down yesterday.


read this for more details. i saw a bunch of fire trucks yesterday and they blocked a good chuck of the downtown area. i was wondering what could be so big. the cause of the fire is UNKNOWN?! i can’t believe it. just not too long ago a chinese grocery store was burned down. how come chinese business are easily burned down here? weird. but luckily it’s the sucky restaurant. i went there once and i hated their food. there’s another chinese restaurant in the mall which i always go to get my beloved shirmp lo mein :) *hugs* actually i just had it 5 minutes ago *hehe*

oh yea, i think i’ve seen this before but it just clicked with me or something.. LMAO.. the TRUE evolution: click!

The Teddy Bear Genius

Hoo boy. Now I know everyone is familiar with the bright, adept and dignified colleagues that fill the aisles at school and constitute our vast workforce . . . :cough: NOT!! It amazes me that though I’m surrounded by blithering veggies every day, one special headcase always seems to shine through with new levels of idiocracy unparalleled by his/her peers.

I was scouting out my classroom for a computer course and eventually found it, and also found my instructor was waiting for the current class to conclude. She was at a table in a small lobby area near the classroom so I sat down with her, and soon after we were joined by another classmate.

This classmate was wearing old cruddy white tennis shoes, dirty frayed blue jeans, a dusty black T-shirt and an old faded Dallas Cowboys hat. The instructor asked his name and he told her it was easy to remember his name ‘Brian’ by his Cowboys hat that he wore every day. I looked at that thing which was probably crawling with bugs and tried to parallel ‘Brian’ with that hat. Quite frankly there was nothing that stood out about the guy except his repulsive odor.

Anyway, that’s not even the stupid thing he said.

He asks the instructor: “Have you seen the virus going around that puts a teddy bear on your screen that won’t go away?”
She replies: “Yes I’ve heard of it, it is actually a hoax. Did you get it in an email?”
Him: “Yeah, my dad sent it to me, he got the same virus!” starts laughing with blank look in his eyes. Small period of uncomfortable silence.
Instructor: “Well when you get those e-mails you probably shouldn’t open them.”
Him: “No matter how many times I clicked on the teddy bear he would not go away! I finally had to go to the Norton Anti-Virus web page so it could get rid of it!” Laughs heartily, and starts looking to the instructor for approval as if he was proud of his accomplishment. This was not even a REAL virus.

The instructor and I then share one of those uncomfortable moments of realization eye-contact that just communicated ‘Oh my god this guy is a complete chimp’ She then says, “Well time to go to the class room!” and departs before her sanity is completely broken. I just sat there and could not believe what I had just heard.

cool blogging site

i stumped over blogstreet.com thru lele on pei’s site who got it from daynah (complicated)

you can find your blog neighborhood there hehe.. my favorite is that they actually give you a VISUAL representation of blogs that revolve around yours. i don’t know how accurate it is, but here’s mine. play around with that site. it’s fun.

other than that i really lost interest in hacking and doing stuff for the board recently :( i think i need a break.

last nite i fell asleep at 8pm and didn’t wake up until 7am this morning. i guess i was tired?! XP

our anniversary is coming

OMG, i just came up with the most creative idea to celebrate our anniversary! since both of us love to cook and since Sept 9th (our anniversary) is a Tuesday. That means both of us will be in school. so we are gonna make each other lunch box for that day. but the lunch box must contains a message to show love. i.e. i can make a lunch box that spells “i love you, andy” or something. we can both plan this ahead. and if either one of us need to use the kitchen, the other can not peek until the final result is done. how does that sound? i’m sure andy will love it :) i already have an idea what i’m going to do hehe.. but of course i still have plenty of time to think about. WOOHOO i’m excited.

oh yea we also got our new camera (Canon Powershot G5) yesterday. it’s so awesome. it was too late to take good pictures after the battery was done charging. so we made a video *hehe* i posted it on my private board for a few people’ eyes. the camera comes with this awesome software video impression which allows you to edit your video. you can add begining themes, two background sounds, captions on the video etc. it’s awesome. it looks so easy to use too. i played with it a little last nite. it gave me so many ideas. i will have to make a good video sometime :)

evil andy

haha, surprise surprise… in my entire boring first day of the school, andy’s email is definitely one of the most amusing things happened. hehe.. i can’t believe i will start getting his emails again. that makes me excited LOL from andy:

This two hour time between classes sucks! At least there is a computer lab nearby my noon class. I have no excuse not to write emails and posts now :sniff: It’s cold in here too and there’s this 900lb girl looking at the internet and wiggling around and stuff. Oh yeah, she’s the LAB MONITOR! I should sit at the far end of the row of computers farthest away from the desk and say, “Hey my computer just crashed and I lost all of my files!” and when she waddles over there, squeezing between chairs, say, “oh nevermind its cool now!”

for the ENTIRE summer he’s been hot and has been making fun of how i’m always cold in the computer lab. he finally admitted he’s COLD. HAHA!

[geek talk]i think i actually like my programming language concept class. i mean the whole concept is very new. what all i’ve been learning so far are imperative and object orientated programming languages. now we are gonna talk about logical and functional languages like prolog and haskell. i think it sounds rather interesting. i want to see how they are done.[/geek talk]

i went to the visual basic class. i know it’s going to be rather boring for me BUT i really LOVE to learn about visual basic .NET framework so i can write programs like google toolbar hehe.. that’d be very cool :)

the day before school starts

SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW!! i got a new pink and purple bag which i absolutely LOVE!! It only cost $10 at KOHL’S. I need to show you a picture after I got my camera which is some time next week.

OH lele always has a way to crack me up. check out jenn and lele’s new soul touching moment LMAO

long loved astrology

Check out my beautiful astrology analysis!! truly i’m a goddess LMAO

Ying Zhang is the last of the great eccentrics. The funny thing is, she doesn’t know it. She thinks her behaviour is perfectly normal. She sees herself as a pillar of propriety and a paragon of protocol. Ying has strong views about every topic under the sun. There’s not a subject she doesn’t know about or a moral point she can’t pontificate on. Ying is entitled to be a little arrogant. She knows an awful lot about an awful lot of things. She is well versed, well rehearsed, and deeply immersed in the kind of knowledge that we lesser mortals can only dream of attaining. Thankfully, she is there to shed the light and show the way. This, she does generously and patiently, as befits a person of superior intellect. Ying Zhang is wise, intelligent and (thankfully) oblivious to irony.
Or, at least, that’s how Ying Zhang is, at her worst. She can’t help it. She’s an Aquarian and Aquarians are infamous for their occasional outbursts of pomposity. Happily there is another truly delightful side to her. Ying is as honest as the day is long, as generous as the ocean is deep. This is partly where the eccentricity comes from, for a person with such strong opinions Ying is surprisingly willing to please. she is keen to win friends and influence people. She loves to feel that she belongs. She always wants to be in on the action, part of the scene and one of the gang. Rather like Groucho Marx though, she is never sure that she would want to be part of any club that would a member. She is always on the lookout for some new cause to support, or enterprise to sign up to. You might think that this would make her fickle but actually Ying is exceedingly loyal. She may be forever expanding her horizons but she never forgets her friends and she never reneges on her commitments. This is why, despite the highly idiosyncratic nature of Ying’s personality, so many people think the world of her.

makes me sound like a 90 old business woman or an evil empire LOL i hate business hahaha.. this is hilarious.

then i checked out my bf’s. the first sentence made me fell off my chair. “Andrew Lilleg will never grow up” – hey that’s true LMAO

Andrew Lilleg will never grow up, and nor would we ever want him to. It is Andrew’s ability to be innocently fun-loving and childlike that makes him so endearing. Andrew Lilleg is extremely clever and sophisticated. There is, after all, a very big difference between being childlike and being childish. Andrew is open minded, unselfish and able somehow to approach each new day with a spirit of real, fresh inspiration. That explains why Andrew enjoys life so much and it also explains why other people, looking at Andrew’s life from a distance, cannot understand why he enjoys it so much. Those of us who know and love Andrew Lilleg find him enigmatic, mysterious or even downright baffling. We can’t help liking him, but nor can we quite manage to work out where he is at, where he is coming from, what he is up to or what he is in to. Andrew’s tastes and preferences are what some people would call eclectic, others would term unusual and most folk would classify as ‘just plain weird.’ Andrew, though, is consistent in his inconsistency. There is method to his madness. Andrew is interested in – even fascinated by – so many strange, different topics and subjects because Andrew is such a natural experimenter.
Andrew doesn’t need to travel the world in search of variety. Andrew can wake up one morning feeling quite sure that he is one particular kind of person. By the afternoon he will be someone else. His personality will not change, his loyalty will not waver but his mood will evolve allowing him to explore, enthusiastically, ways of behaviour which only a few hours ago seemed unattractive. Thus Andrew Lilleg creates a world in which there is constant variety and excitement. Boring people, who like to follow life’s laws to the letter and stick rigidly to one fixed plan find Andrew Lilleg hard to handle or even to relate to. People with a sense of adventure, a sense of imagination and, most importantly of all a sense of humour, cannot get enough of Andrew’s company.

his is a lot more accurate than mine!
