Currently Listening
Scenes From the Southside
By Bruce Hornsby & the Range

see related
- The Valley Road

This is for my buddy Vern.

I remember going to Bailey's with Vern for nine ball on the weekends (and on weekdays when I came back to visit), and they have this TV hanging off a wall that plays music videos (not MTV, just a disc they run over and over again). EVERY SINGLE TIME we played there, I'd see Bruce Hornsby & the Range singing "The Valley Road". So whenever my friends look at my ipod and ask "wtf is this", I reply "This is what my friends and I listen to" hahahahaha...sorry I dragged you into this Vern.

But thanks for nine ball.

Today is Chinese New Year and the first thing I did outdoors was step on dog shit. ugh, what luck to begin a year.

BUT

Since it's we're celebrating the year of the dog, I think stepping on dog doo doo should mean prosperity and happiness for the year.


Therefore, I wish you all a Happy Chinese New Year....and if you should ever happen to come across some crap (make sure it's from a dog), smear your foot all over it, and make it count

Tagged by John and Vern

The rules: if you get tagged, you must post an entry listing five "weird habits" that you possess. Then, pick five more people to tag, and list their names at the end of the entry. Leave a acknowledgement on their sites, saying "you've been tagged" and tell them to read your weblog for the rules.

1. I'm a "half ass" kinda guy. I always get started on something, and I quit when I get to something that's difficult to do. Because of that, I dissappoint alot of people.

2. When I log off MSN/AIM, I don't usually say bye to people, cos i just assume that i'll talk to them later. soo...though i've only heard one person complain about it. our typical conversation goes like this. (This person will remain anonymous)

Ken: Hey A_fred
Alf_ed: Hey Ken.
Alfr_d changes status to away.
Ken changes status to away.
Alfre_ changes status to online
_lfred logged off

I think i'm better at it now, but i still do it occasionally...but not intentionally.

3. I have more than a hundred songs on my nano, but I have a habit of repeating the same song that i just updated....and i just keep listening to it until I'm completely sick of it.

4. On saturday mornings, I like to start with a bowl of cereal in milk. I'd eat until I finish the cereal, but see that I still have a alotta milk left inside the bowl, so I'd just pour more cereal in until the bowl is full again. EAT. I repeat these steps until I hardly have any milk left and a whole lot of cereal in the bowl. So then I'd just pour more milk into the bowl and continue eating. I repeat this whole process until I get really sick to the stomach and feel like throwing up......

5. I have 2 extreme personalities. At times I like to hang out with people, and I'll be out to whatever you ask me to come to. At other times I become extremely antisocial, so I just ignore everyone around me. What sucks even more is that I do this spontaneously. There's not really a trigger or catalyst that can account for my sudden change in behaviour.....

I tag...

dude, everyone's been tagged already....

My entry is dedicated to the breakfast participatns of pancake pantry. Thanks John, Zhou, Kevin, Vern, the guy from knoxville, Beatrice and Andrew. You guys are the best.


My response to a question i was given - did you get a good seat?

I got the airport early enough to get fire exit seats! oh well, if they didn't allow me to take my cue stick as hand carry, or the fire exit seat was in the middle....I had this big smile on my face.....until i got on the plane. <needs thesis statement here>

The toilets were diagonally to my front left, and the doors were practically facing me....so whenever  someone came out of the toilet, i could smell EVERYTHING. what made it worse was that the opening and closing of the doors sorta acted as a fan to blow all the smell  of crap into my direction. If there's one thing i regretted not buying there, it'd be a clothes pin.

that wasn't all...

to my left, was a huge caucasian dude, and he pretty much slept through the whole flight, with his head tilted and facing my direction, and his mouth wide open. this guy was practically breathing on my neck, so I had to sit forward for most of the flight, but that didn't help either cos I'd be even closer to smelling all the crap that came out of the toilet.

and lastly,

There was a passanger carrying a baby on the flight (the baby had a seat of it's own, but the parent was carrying the baby throughout the whole flight. I got a taste of the different aromas coming from that direction....the smell of the baby when he needed to change diapers....(yes, that's crap), the smell of baby powder after changing diapers, and the "baby smell" which i don't know how to describe.....but the worst part was when the baby was crying during trip......my nano at full blast couldn't even save me..

so that plus the "breathing on my neck guy" plus the toilets.

crap plus crap plus crap.

i guess a little less crap, since i had more leg room.





But on the more serious note, good times I had these past weeks....meeting old friends, playing 9 holes with timmy, diwali, alfred & helen, movies w/amy lily & zhou, yakitate with john chang, bailey's with vern, chillin with hana, tofu house w/ jamie, Ken's with amy, losing 2 bucks to eric, computer not good enough to play eric's game, Tim's pickup lines, the prank on jwo, dawn and ty, breakfast w/ alice, pho & ice cream w/ jason steven hana amy john beatrice, SAW w/ david andrew and jwo.....lemme know if i missed anything...



at the end of my trip, i had a bit of doubt in my mind.....I though maybe there was something missing or something i didn't do.....whatever it was, breakfast w/ you guys made it all complete...


maybe i was just hungry, and it was the pancakes.......NAH, lets just keep it magical. Thanks guys.

I just came out of the shower in the locker room after my round of golf. Sitting next to me was this kid (5 or 6) and his Daddy. I only had my towel on so i was pretty much just getting started... the Dad says to his kid,

"hurry up, we're gonna be late."
"Look Daddy, I'm faster than him" (points his finger at me)

I look back at the kid and he's all dressed except for his socks and shoes. I pretend not to notice anything , but I start thinking "there's no way i'm gonna let this kid beat me"

Yes. call me pathetic for competing "dress up" with a kid.......but here goes.

(While he's putting on his socks): I'm fumbling with the key to open my locker. I open, throw all my crap onto the bench. I'm putting on my pants (yes i wear undergarment but i'd like to skip that part) and i look over, and he's still having trouble putting on his socks...(I thought his feet were too wet). WHILE I'm putting on my pants, i also find time to put on my socks and my shoes (yes I'm skillful like that)

(While he's putting on his shoes): This part was easy. I just threw a tshirt over my head and BAM i was done. he was pretty quick with his shoes tho

Now we're even....I throw all my dirty clothes into my bag, and his DAADDDY did that for him (OOoooOOoooH you need your DADDY to do that for you? yes, it's me with my game face on)....the kid dashes for the door (he pretty much knew that i was trying to beat him) and I'm running too....we're both almost out the door until.....

DAMMMIT!!!!  I left my locker key in the locker. So the kid won. You know, if it weren't for the kid's dad, I woulda won.....and i think the kid was more like.....9 or 10


and yes, i'm just being a sore loser.....





I think my feet were wet too...
