W00t! i'm leaving in like 20 min!!! i'm so excited!!!
Hopefully this will be just as good as my past summers in China! I don't wanna be disappointed! :)

YAY! Okies...hehe. I wish I can have nice surprises when I go. Keke...Nice surprises...

Completely and Utterly Infactuated with Kim Jaejoong

Mood: TERRIBILY INFACTUATED LIKE NO OTHER.
Song: 高调爱-小猪

Dude, seriously I am SO SO SOOOOOOOOOO infatuated with certain male singers right now. Like you have NO IDEA. Gosh, this is what too much freetime does to my brain TT;; So it started by watching Big Bang videos on youtube and I pratically watched everysingleone that had TOP in it because he's oh so sexy with that deep grunt of his. keke~ Then I moved on to watch Xiaozhu and seriously watched almost all of his...and now I'm watching Jaejoongie's...gah. I think these 3 are seriously my favs right now. Top, Xiaozhu, and Jaejoong. *nosebleeds*

Speaking of. I MUST GET MY HANDS ON SOME TVXQ BEIJING CONCERT TICKETS!!!!!!!! RAWR. I NEED TO SEE JAEJOONG LIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I MUST! OMG just thinking about them doing the mirotic dance or wrong number live gives me the geebees. i think i literally might faint...TT;; OMG I NEEEEEEEEEEED TICKETS!!! i actually just posted on this pretty powerful jaejoong chinese fanclub site thingy. omg seriously i need tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH I NEED SOME TICKETS!!!

Okay, seriously. wish me luck. i hope i can get some good tickets for decent price. don't have that much $ right now :( and the best tickets are freakin 1680 RMB...:( tooooooooo expensive. gah. ok ok seriously i'm totally spazzing out here. hopefully everything works out. or miraculously i bump into jaejoong or something while i'm in beijing. OMG I WOULD SERIOUSLY FREAK OUT. hahahahahaha~ but of course not FREAK him out. just freak myself out and make him fall in love with me. *nods* that's the plan. Like SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg I know this sounds totally ridiculous but I would totally "accidently bump" into them if you know what i mean. HAHAHAHA. omg I WANNA GO BACK TO CHINA ASAP!!!!!!!!! 1 MORE WEEK! KYAAAAAAAAAAAA!

And yes, i've decided to pic spam because...I'M JUST SO INFATUATED AND IN COMPLETE FANGIRL MODE RIGHT NOW.


Look at his nice glossy lips!!!!!!!! And his cute expression on the picture on the right...WAH! HOW CAN SOMEONE BE SOOOO GOOD LOOKING?!? seriously this should not be legal.

i wish i was that waterbottle...jk...errr...not...? ^^;;

End of First Year...

Wow...Am I old?!? Hahahahahaha~ It's so strange and unbelievable really...I can't believe I've actually completed my first year of college...D:

Where should I even start? SO many first experiences, the good the bad--no matter what I think I've definitely learned many life lessons and hopefully in the process became a better person. One of the most important things I've learned is to differentiate who is your real friend and who is not. It's hard to believe but there are actually people out there who will treat you badly even if you never done anything to harm them. But that's okay I guess, that's just life. But that just made me realize how important real friendship is and I really do cherish those close friends I have made this past year. :)

Finals week was...man...it went by like a blur. I must say the East Asian Library has been a good friend to me during reading period and finals week. I didn't get done until 12:30 of Friday which really sucked like no other. Then the storage closed at 7 that night FOR GOOD and I barely started packing, so I had to pack EVERY SINGLE THING in my room so I packed 7 hours straight and moved all the heavy boxes downstairs to the basement. I'm very proud of myself actually! hehehe I seriously have done a lot of things on my own :)

Afterwards Linda, Sarah, Alicia and I went to Chinatown. It was so much fun. We then decided to explore old Chinatown and took many ridiculous pictures. :P We got back around 11:00 but then Linda and I realized that the cart we borrowed from Steve was borrowed under his ID but we lent it to some other girl down at the basement so we couldn't find it. Therefore it took us about 3 hours to search for a unclaimed cart...because if we didn't, Steve would've gotten fined for $125 which is totally stupid. So eventually we found one in West and returned it.

After that, I decided to visit Sarah and talked with her, Alicia, and Lynn for awhile, and then Ji sook came and visited and we chatted in the Central lobby. After that I went back to Sarah's room and David came and we said bye to some of the other Asians and then I went to visit Chloe, and finally went back to the room around 5:00 and took a shower. Then I started packing some more, said bye to Linda around 9:30 and took a nap for about an hour and got on the shuttle for o'hare. Yeah I didn't sleep pretty much :) But it was strange I didn't feel that tired at all...

I cannot even imagine what 2nd year is gonna bring...seriously. No more weird surprises...haha. And even better grades!!! :D I am determined to go to law school. I WILL GO TO A REALLY GOOD TOP 10 LAW SCHOOL! I HAVE ALREADY DECIDED!!! AND NO ONE WILL STOP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Finals Week, Almost End of First Year

Hmm I'm having mood swings again. Must be that time of the month soon. Anyhow I'm currently feeling okay, but I was totally having a spazz attack last night because Linda said something VERY VERY MEAN AND ALARMING TO ME. *cries* But I slept it off so it's okay :/

*sigh* SOOOOO MANY THINGS TO DOOOOOOOOO! It seems like it will never end. I can definitely not imagining that I'm actually going on home next Saturday. Oh how I wish that day would come and summer would be here already...:( And just random little silly things going on that's driving me crazy. But at least I have some close friends around to keep me on track *nods* I don't know what I would do without them.

I realized that friendship is actually a very important thing. Some people may seem to be your friends at first but they are really not. It's at the most crucial times that you realize who's really there for you.

I feel that I've been suddenly exposed to so much of reality this first year of college. It's quite a shock really. Perhaps I've been too sheltered before coming here...I guess we all have to grow up someday. But I don't want to!!!

And another bad habit of mine is saying/doing things without thinking of the consequences...Ah~ How I really regret some actions...I used to have the attitude of say what you want do what you want and don't care what others think but now I'm not so sure anymore. It's so hard to live up to that motto. Quite bizarre. Sometimes I think I'm not the same person anymore. Not as crazy I guess? Although still quite the klutz and do random immature childish things. I have no clue I'm just really blabbing now.

It's interesting how at an environment like this you are often FORCED to grow up or accept things that you don't want. Hopefully this summer I can do some self reflect and figure myself out. I think I'm very confused at the moment...and yes definitely stop thinking too much and wasting my time on trivial things...

Going back to Chicago

Being back home the past few days has been sooooo nice! Although it would've been nicer if I actually had less work...but eh, at least i got them all done!!! :D

Hopefully I can just go back and beast out the finals! w0000000000t!

I'm so happy spending time with mom and dad <3 and I ate SO MUCH FOOD the past three days. no joke. i always stuff myself like no other when i come home. not my fault though, this time we had so many asian picnics/gatherings so there was so much good food~ nom nom nom.

and i hung out with jessie xinzhu and helen last night until like 3. it was really awesome. :) we ended up watching NewS videos...HAHAHA oh good o'times. yamapi is of course still gorgeous. although i must say i'm too caught up with jay chou donghae and top at the moment :P

and i've also been thinking alot about this and that and i've come to a realization that it really just doesn't matter. doesn't matter at all and anymore. so hmm oh well. and as helen said, 旧的不去新的不来 so it's all good :) plus i'm really looking forward to this summer :D

aaaaaaaaaand my right eye keeps on twitching, which usually is a bad sign but hopefully not cuz i can't think of any reason why it would be besides the fact that i won't be able to see dad until july and mom until 3 weeks later. so hopefully it's no biggy! :)

<3 <3 <3
cherish everything you have. (i dunno why this randomly popped into my head)
night!

Lovin the weather~

It's actually NICE outside and 80 degrees today. Surprise surprise. I hope it stays this way...seriously.

Although, I kinda didn't do so well on my bio midterm. Damn it...T-T I swear...ugh. Anyways, something funny happened to me yesterday during art class.

In the middle of class I got a call from this unrecognizable number, so I hung up on it twice and then txted to see who it was.

Me: who is this?
Number: Papa Johns
Me: What? Who? The Pizza place?!?
Number: Ashly murder mistery box toppers (exact words)

I was so confused so I called the number after class and apparently it was papa johns the pizza place and got the wrong number.

Anyhow. I'm sleepy now. Have 9 o'clock bio lab tmr morning. woopee~ night!

productive day!

So I left the reg around 12:35 today and got all my sosc reading done for this week! :D YAY! now i gotta go find/buy that black white sheep or whatever book we are reading next week ^^;;

btw, my hair looked extra nice today and wasn't going crazy and flipping all over the place. wahaha i dunno why that made me happy~ and ooooooooomg the math midterm was so hard...i can't believe i didn't try to memorize the definition of a determinant. damn it!!! hopefully i did okay~ *prays*

And bio...haha SOOOOOO boring :/ especially towards the end when the prof was talking about ticks and deer or something. i really wanted to cry because it was that boring...but omg. so andy like shows up to class at like 3 when class started at 2:30 and then during our break at 3:20 ish he just left. So i was like oooh ok so maybe he has a meeting or something important to go to. but after class, me maggie and ana decided to go eat at bartlett and i see him sitting there at bartlett quad with his 2 friends and his friend's gf...T____________T actually haha i was like wtf because i wish i'd done the same thing LOL.

anyhow, he like turned and saw me but he turned back but then he turned around again and smiled and waved at me~~~ kekekekeke :P

BUT omg. so after work i went to the reg around 9 and right when i was walking in he was leaving and he waved at me and left. but then i suddenly realized that i was planning to go to bartmart to buy a drink but forgot and i went out too after he just saw me go in...T-T and then i didn't know which way he was going but when i walked out he was heading towards bartmart too. so i was like oh i'll just call his name out, but he didn't hear me and then i was about to call again when his friend's gf walked in from the other side and they started smoking T-T GOSH. that was so awkward. it seemed like i was following him or something. gah~ i dunno oh well. i mean seriously, as expected, things always turn out to be awkward for me and him. woohoo~ *rolls eyes* anyhow i tried to avoid eye contact after i got out my nantucket nectar juice (best ever) i didn't wanna say hi again cuz it's strange so ya...omg. seriously. soooooooooo dumb~ i should've just gotten the drink later...

Oh no...math...

Ew. Ew. Ew. I am so screwed for my next math midterm, which is Monday. I was looking over the review sheet today and pretty much the only thing I know how to do FOR SURE is finding determinants. D: NOOOOOOOOOO. This must change before the midterm comes!!! Gah~ *going frantic*

It's raining outside though :) And thundering...it's quite refreshing. I like it. I like it when I can hear the rain drops hitting the window pane when I sleep~ It is quite soothing. It makes me feel all peaceful inside which is to be honest, quite rare these days T-T. Things are always so hectic and I'm running all over the place being at this class, this meeting, next study session, review session etc. Goodness.

But BUT! I get to go home next weekend!!! I AM SO EXCITED! AAAAAAAAAND I get to see my daddy whom i haven't seen for almost half a year. YAY! I'm so happy <3>

SUPER JUNIOR~ NEW MV! It's You <3

aquarius (Jan. 21st-Feb. 18th)

This week, beware of smooth talkers, smooth criminals, smooth moves and X-Lax.

Current Music: Fetish-Fareast Movement. This beat is hott. No joke.

Hmm...interesting...I wonder how that will turn out this week. haha. Usually the horoscope I get from this site is pretty accurate.

Anywho. OMG SUJU'S NEW MV IS SOOOOOOO HOTT!!! <3>

Well, I took my bio midterm today...it was okay but i was so mad i didn't even study any of the brain section and there were like 4 questions on it...GAH. and i missed it...hopefully i did okay in the other parts...*sigh*

And btw. omg stupid wonhee wrote this on my wall:

dude. nice make-up.
it wasn't excessive at all~
where were you going?? whom were you looking pretty for??? hmmm????

GAAAAAAAAAH! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! :( Oh no, I bet Andy thinks i'm retarded...dang it! so much for being bffs with him >.<>

FOTA :) and um, God, seriously, is this necessary?!?

FOTAAAAAAAAA~
well, so at our school, there's an annual arts show which opens with a fashion show featuring designers who are students from our school. And my awesome friend Sarah happened to be one of the designers featured in the FOTA show and I modeled for her. It was SOOOO much fun!!! :D The dress I wore was really cool. The back, as can see in the back, was really awesome with a bunch of metal danglings hehe~

And walking on a run way is such an awesome feeling! All my friends were screaming my name and it was so much fun :) Good thing I didn't really mess up at the actual show today. During rehearsals this afternoon I went when it was not my turn to go and I also posed at the wrong spots...T-T So embarrassing...

And OMG...my hair was curled and then teased so it was this huge poofball and I had super scary zombie like black eye makeup...

So me and chloe went to hutch to grab some food after our photoshoot. And guess who i literally bumped into...AT THE MOST AWKWARD MOMENT AS EXPECTED...yes. Andy. T-T

I walked in and he was paying at the cash register and i was like OMG PLEASE DO NOT TURN AROUND PLEASE DO NOT LOOK AT ME. *secretly wishing* and of course he didn't do that, and turned around. OMG. i wish the earth would open up and swallow me right there. I swear I have NO IDEA WHY he always sees me at the most awkward moments.

He literally was starring at me for like 5 sec without saying anything and i was like oh shit...fml. And then i think he realized he was doing that so he was like "oh hey!" *smile smile* He has a really nice smile :) Anyways I was like "Hi..."

And he had this really amused expression on his face and he said, "Going out?" I was like OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? I LOOK LIKE A FREAKIN ZOMBIE PROSTITUTE and he thinks i'm heading out?!? (btw. big crazy teased hair+bright red lipstick+crazy black eye makeup...) I was like "Uh...no no no...I'm actually modeling in the FOTA show tonight..." And as I continued talking I was walking further away from him, backwards and my voice turned smaller and smaller and I said. "You...should...come...ya...." And he was like "Ya...." *smile smile*

OH GOD. SERIOUSLY. WHY DO AWKWARD MOMENTS LIKE THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME WHEN ANDY IS AROUND LIKE WTF.

So i went to the subway line and wonhee was there, but i wasn't sure if it was him or not because he got a haircut, so i was just standing behind in the line trying to figure out if it was him or not, and while i was thinking to myself, i somehow said it outloud ," Is that wonhee?" and for some bizarre reason andy was standing right beside me and i didn't know (of course he was waiting for wonhee...) and he was like ,"Ya, it's wonhee" and i was like laskhdgldsakgh why is andy beside me omg. and then i was like "WONHEEEEEE" and wonhee turned around and said hi but then backed off and made a scared face when he looked at me. and i was like "I KNOW I LOOK WEIRD DON'T LOOK AT MEEEEE~" and covered my face. and he just laughed. omg like seriously WHY DID I HAVE TO BUMP INTO HIM?!? D: if only i went to hutch like 3 min. later...GAH!

And afterwards they were eating at hutch and me and chloe tried to get a table far away...and omg of ALL PEOPLE. who joined andy and wonhee...guess who...yongho. omg like SERIOUSLY. can this get any alskdhgsaldkh?!? This is just so weird. i can so see them 3 being like, "oh ya, xue's so strange..." and yongho all like "ya, we went to chinatown together" and wonhee, who is convinced that i'm infatuated with andy all like "dude, but i think she totally likes you now" WHICH IS NOT TRUE OKAY?!? like yes i do think andy is very very cooooooooooool. but um yes that's all. I just think he's really...i dunno okay like he's really cool. but that's it. and it's all stupid david's fault anyways. omg. i swear if he's still mia by the end of the quarter i'm gonna karate chop him. ugh like seriously what the hell~ this is so stupid. WHYYYYYYYYYYY must i always look so stupid when i'm around him?!? it's so unfair...he probably thinks i'm retarded...T-T ugh. epic fail... :(

really really crappy day

:( I feel so lonely. And no one is here to talk to me...I woke up this morning with a freakin mosquitoe bite on my right cheek. Actually more like I woke up at 2:17 and realized that my hair appointment was at 3:15.

And my stupid hair looks awful. My bangs are WAY too short. So now i have to clip them until they grow longer. UGH UGH UGH. :(

And it's still rainy and wet and miserable outside. And I had soooo many horrible dreams last night. 1st someone said they didn't wanna talk to me anymore and told me to stop bothering him. (what the heck...) and then i had a dream that i was back home with my cousins and somehow my friends back home were there too and they ditched me to go boating. :( And then I had like a breathing/cough attack in my dream and i woke up realized that i was under my 3 layers of blankets and suffocating T-T

And I woke up really pissed off and ya realized I had an hour before my appointment.

And I couldn't really sleep last night so I didn't actually go to bed until around 4 in the morning. I dunno it's so stupid and now i have a semi headache. seriously. WTF. And *sigh* anyways. I'm letting everything go. Ya. I have to. No more of this nonsense...

Dunno why i am still up

I am currently listening to One for Me by SHINee. <3 This song always puts a smile to my face and makes me so happy. It's like 4 in the morning and I have no idea why I am still not sleeping. I really should get up early tomorrow and be productive...*sigh*

So I am home now!!! On Spring Break of course. It's pure bliss for sure. I don't think I've eaten as much as I have in the past 4 days than I have eaten at school the past 2 weeks...T-T

Hmm it's good to be away from school a bit to be honest. And clear my head and recharge myself for spring quarter. Reading period/finals week was a bit bizarre and not to mention very inconvenient due to my knee T-T I finally went to the doctors Friday. (Ya, for once I actually got medical attention...ugh) But the xray results are still not in. But most likely I pulled a tenant and it might take more than 2 months to fully recover. WTF!!!!!! HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO DANCE FOR RBIM!!! BOOOOOOO. Ugh I feel so retarded. Who falls while running upstairs?!? And suffer such serious injuries...beats me...

AAAAAAAAAAAH I WANT SUMMER TO BE HERE ALREADY!!!!!!!! And...ah. I don't even really know what I want anymore. I mean of course non academically wise. I am very focused academically speaking but hmm. I dunno. I feel like I'm babbling. HAHA.

But it's so confusing >.<>.<>

Super Junior Comeback

Oh my goodness!!! SUPER JUNIOR COMEBACK!!! I just watched the MV on youtube and OMG it's SOOOOOO hott and aesthetically pleasing...<3 But I felt like Donghae barely got any screen time in the video... :(

I must say that I don't like Siwon and Hangeng's hair AT ALL. It looks TOO SHORT! :/ But overall the song is quite catchy in my opinion. And they look super gorgeous dancing in black suits...kekeke.

So......I got bored and took a quiz and thought this was interesting: so basically it's "what would happen between you and a sj-m member"

有一天，你和东海在路边相撞，你要倒得时候，东海一把搂住你的腰，然后你们互相赔礼道 歉，并留下了电话号码，有一天东海向你表白，你很吃惊（因为你喜欢的是韩庚），你把东海当哥哥看，但是经过这几天的时间，你对东海产生了好感，就答应了 他....你羡慕你哦~~：45.00%

韩庚：（韩庚是你大学时认识的哥哥），有一天你和他相遇了，你们天天玩，一次，他带你去公园里，你说想去学滑冰，让韩庚教你，韩庚同意了，你划着划着脚一 滑，差点倒了，韩庚接住了你，你们两个同时倒在地上，嘴唇碰嘴唇，脸碰脸，你们都很害羞，立马起来了，你们又在长椅上坐了一会，你们谁都不说话，韩庚被你 害羞时候的样子给迷住了，他说：“我喜欢你，和我交往吧！”你还没有反应过来就被庚给吻着了，从此你们就成了一对快乐的男女朋友！（讨厌了啦，韩庚是我 的！）：30.42%

WAHAHAHAHA! omg DONGHAAAAAAAAAAAAE!!! kyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! i really like that possibility. kekeke *giggles like crazy* I wish that would really happen

Childhood Revisited and Busted Knee...

Where should I even begin about this weekend...well how about my most recent experience. The ER.

Worst place EVER. I waited there from 7 tonight until 11:30 and they told me I had to wait 6 more hours just to see a doctor. WHAT THE HELL?!? Do I look like I have that much time to waste?!? But my knee really hurts...I was actually running up the stairs at an auditorium place at UIUC and I tripped and fell right on the edge of the concrete stairs on the joint of my knee...T-T

At first I thought it wasn't too bad but I felt this sharp pain. I thought it was gonna go away in awhile but then about 3 minutes later I felt a warm liquid on my knee and it was slowly seeping through my jeans. I lifted my jeans up and realized that I was actually BLEEDING...and bleeding profusely...Then I started to kind of freak out but I cleaned my wound and it was okay. But then after a little while I had trouble bending my knee...

ugh such a horrible experience. So currently I am sitting on my bed with my right leg propped up against piggy and linda's pillow and have an ice pack on it.

Although I must say i am very touched by what all my friends did because of my knee. Horatiu even drove all the way back to campus. Laura and Lillian kept on txting me and asking if I was okay and helped me back to my room etc. And Jamie actually visited me at the ER and Jose...I felt so bad...had to stay with me at the ER for more than 4 hrs when neither of us had dinner...

Ugh stupid knee. I just hope it gets better when I wake up tomorrow and it'll magically be all good :D *pray pray*

But anyways, the main part is: I MET KAORI FINALLY! I haven't seen her for more than 4 years!!! It was really awesome. I met up with Yoo-yeon again too and it was just all so nice. We had dinner together at a korean restaurant and later went to large groups with Yoo-yeon and hung out with her small group and watched a weird sci-fi movie there. All her friends were really sweet and concerned about my knee...

Anyhow. Afterwards I slept over at Kaori's and we talked until 7 in the morning. Caught up on alot of stuff...she's so sweet. I love her dearly <3>

Japanese Junk Food...YUM YUM~

OMG. Do I need to say more? I am literally addicted to those corn things and grape err i mean "muscat" gummys. hahahahahaha. I ate like 6 gummys in a roll yesterday morning T-T

It's strange because I'm not even a junk food person! SERIOULY! i'm not!!! I rarely ate junk food at all my 19 years of living. But lately I'm noticing that I am constantly munching on something or fishing something out of the ridiculous junk food bin i have in my room. (Seriously blame it on the parents...they brought a whole suitcase of food with them when they visited me in January...)

Omg. I don't wanna be fat!!! eeeeeeeeeek! Especially how it's gonna be spring and warm again. Although that seems highly unlikely in Chicago because it was literally FREEZING outside. I felt like my ears were gonna fall off. And may I add...it's March??? *rolls eyes*

Anyhow, for some reason I'm very excited about Hum class tomorrow...@________@ I guess because I like the readings we are discussing right now :D And hopefully I'll get a better understanding of Adorno in sosc...so I can ace my next and last paper...:)

I am still quite hopeful. :) And hopefully everything will work out like somehow they always do...So I just gotta keep going, work hard, not make stupid mistakes, and hope for the best <3

A little bit sick...:/

Currently listening to: Like a Child-Kim Dong Ryul


I woke up this morning with a sore throat! D:

I literally couldn't talk and was coughing all over the place. Gah. >.< It's all Jamie's fault for giving me the sickness!!! Should've not shared food with him at bartlett Sunday. RAWR

But the good thing was that I had a SUPER CHILLS day! It was almost freaky. Almost. I had literally NOTHING to do. My 9:00 hum class got cancelled so I stayed in bed til 12. :) Went to lunch, then worked on my resume for a bit and went to sosc class at 3:00.

Nothing too eventful happened...but at dinner, i was getting up to take my tray when i felt incredibly dizzy. I was dizzy for almost a minute or so. I had to sit down and put my head down because I felt nauseous and just couldn't focus at all. It was SOOO scary :/ I hope I am normal...*prays*

So yeah, didn't do much today. I then went and printed out the sosc reading from maclab and read half of it. It was pretty interesting I guess. I think I'm gonna go to bed now because my head feels funny.

But before I do...I've been listening to Like a Child over and over again today. It's SUCH A GOOD SONG! And the lyrics are so cute. It just makes me wanna hug a special someone <3>

I love Nan Quan Mama <3

Wow. I haven't updated for quite awhile. To be honest, so much has happend since I last written... But as for now, my main topic for today's entry is...*drumroll* NAN QUAN MA MA! 南拳妈妈 <3.

I went to Northwestern Thursday night to go see them. It was SO amazing! Lara and Chase are such sweet and talented people. I'm sure Yuhao and Dantou are the same :) I must say I'm a even much bigger fan than I used to be.

We got there a bit late so it was during the middle of the interview. Chase has such a wacky sense of humor. He's so adorable with these dorky black square framed glasses. <3 After the mini interview session, they performed Beautiful, I'm Yours, and Xia Yu Tian. Lara sang while Chase played the guitar. It was so amazing. Lara has a really sweet voice. Although I don't think she warmed up enough for Xia Yu Tian but it's okay because I LOVE THAT SONG! I seriously listened to it SO much last quarter. Quite ridiculous really. :P

Anyhow, afterwards, they were selling their best collection album and were signing autographs! I luckily got the last album because they sold out and got their autographs!!! :D Plus I took a picture with them as well, but I don't really wanna post it up here...haha.

Chase is so funny because everyone was mainly paying attention to lara so he was kind of left alone sometimes. So when I was up there getting my autograph, after lara signed it she went to talk to some other people and Chase was just sitting there. Somehow we just stared at each other and then both started cracking up. LOL It was quite a wonderful moment. I wish I talked to him more though. He's so cute <3

But yup! That is pretty much my experience seeing them live Thursday!!! So amazing...<3
I'm gonna nap now. So tired. Because well, let's just say I was chatting with two people in my room until 3 last night. Or rather, this morning, and then I had dance at 10AM...anyhow, hopefully i'll update more often! :)

PEACE!

CUSA dinner and HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHEWY!

Today was so much fun!!! I got back at like...4:00...anyhow

So tonight or rather, yesterday night...haha was the CUSA dinner. We went to this restaurant in Chinatown to celebrate our AAAAAAAAAAAMAZING SHOW. <3>.>. Chitchatted with Alice for a bit. she's so nice. :)

And Ji sook was so embarassed to take off her jacket because she thought she overdressed. :P it was so funny. And then she made a cute little speech about the show. GAH i love CUSA ppl. <3>

Anyhow, afterwards, we went to get bubble tea. the tea house was SOOOOOOOOO crowded LOL. but of course i got my fav green tea with tappioca (however you spell it...) but it took forever though since there was about 20 of us @_@

And then half of us went to KTV and stayed there till 1:00. Now my throat is a bit um sore but not too bad. then jessica and jolyn came back and brought chewy a really cute box with cookies. so adorable. so we were heading back after that and tyler had the crazy idea of getting chewy drunk at lambda so we all went there and chilled for awhile. LOL. i didn't drink though, well half a can of beer. And then we were all just being silly and whatnot. mainly just me ji sook and wilson. :P

And now we are back and i have no idea why i'm still up because it's 5:24 right now in the morning @_@. yeah i know, i'm crazy.

OOOOOOOOOOOKIES. i think this is long enough entry...bye byes!

Happy MOOMOO year!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

Oh man, im currently in a VERY happy mood. Such a great weekend! Mom and Dad came to visit me and mom seriously cooked SO much food. I never ate SO much in my life i don't think. She had roast beef, dried beef, my favorite pork and mu yu soup, ku gua, eggplant, buns, soymilk, lei cha, fen zhen ribs...omg i seriously ate like A PIG. YUM YUM.

We stayed at downtown marriot. i'm so happy! i really really love my mom and dad alot. and saturday we went shopping on michigan. it was SUPER cold but so much fun. and the sales were insane!!! I think they totally went crazy in banana republic and bought SO much stuff there. The deals were seriously ridiculous though.

And saturday night we went swimming and spa-ing. haha it's nice to do that with my parents again. just like when i was little! <3>

I 'm just so blessed to have such wonderful and supportive parents like my mom and dad. i love them so so so much! And for this new year i just wish they can be healthy and safe and have a properous year. And i will be very happy :) And as for me, i want to be successful in my studies!!! YAY! 加油！

Cold...

It is SOOOO cold outside! And by cold i mean...7 degrees F T-T''

I just finished my math hw. Gah, how much I forgot since last year calculus...I think i really need to eat stuff that help my memory *wacks head*

I'm currently waiting for the venture to adventure thing at bartlett. Hopefully it is useful and not a waste of time. I'm also quite starving...gah. I ate lunch at like 11 at hutch while trying to sell tickets. So much work for CUSA these days it's so tiring. @______@

And my room mate not exactly helping by yelling on the phone at 3 in the morning last night. Gosh. What the hell...RAWR.

But on a brighter note, I do have math class tomorrow! :D tehehehehe. enough said. i seriously cannot wait until the weekend! Until all this CUSA stuff is over. GAH. It should be a great show though.

Yeah. not a really interesting update i know. i'm just really really cold right now. BRRRRRR. do not wanna go outsiiiiiiiide x-X

Busy Busy Bee!

It has been exactly five days since I've been back to school but I feel like so much time has past, so many things already happend that I've been back for a month T-T''

So with the CUSA show next saturday, things are pretty hectic. i'm in charge of selling tickets so i had to write the number on the back of all the tickets...all 800 of them. and speaking of, i just got back from selling them at reynolds. stayed there for ...well let's just say from 10:45 until 2...*sigh* except we only sold 2. which really sucks :(

Also, i have to rehearse for the fan dance in the show AND i have to sing a duet with jaysern. wah! so much stuff going on. and RBIM is starting friday too. i'm going crazy! @_________@

But at the same time i don't feel frustrated or anything, i actually enjoy doing this. well maybe not like sitting at reynolds for 3 hours but other than that it's actually really fun. and everyone is working hard. so it'll be a great show! :)

i'm just a bit tired though. I feel somewhat drained. but 加油加油咯！ o(^-^)o

btw, rowan is coming tonight and staying until saturday hahahahaha so that should be fun. :P

YAAAAAAAAAY! math class tomorrow! hehe and review session today. i hope someone goes...WAHAHAHA

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2009!



So 2008 has come to an end. I know that it has been a pretty tough year in general for the world. The Sichuan earthquakes, the economic crisis, the ice storms in China just to mention a few. But for me 2008 has been surprisingly an exceptionally wonderful year. I think now is a good time to be a little nalstagic and reflect on some important events in 2008.

1. Graduating from High School :) I can't believe I am no longer in high school. The fact that I am a college student is still mind boggling sometimes...

2. Fundraising for the Sichuan Earthquake victims. I feel that once in my life that I was actually able to make a change and help others. Even though I had to stand outside of Wal-Mart for 4 hours straight in the scorching 90 degree June-July weather it made me feel good. I'm so glad we raised more than $3000 in less than 4 sessions.

3.Going to see the terra cotta warrirors in Xi An like I always wanted to see when I was little. The mignificence of it is breathtaking.

4.Being part of the Beijing Olympics. It is honestly indescribable...one of the most exciting moments of my life

5. Witnessing China's first medal in men's sabre.

6. Meeting various athletes during the olympics, such as Tom Daley <3.>

7. Going to my dream school--University of Chicago. I am living my dream!!! I couldn't be any happier. And all the wonderful experiences I had there and the people I met.

So I was reflecting on my life and I just realized that I am SO grateful and thankful that I am in such a wonderful point in my life right now. I am at the school I always wanted to go to, living my dream. I am not going to let any negativity affect that. I am focused and finish and accomplish to do what I set out to do in the beginning. All the opportunities are within my grasp. I just have to work hard to make sure I obtain them before they slip away. It is going to be challenging at times I know, but I am confident I can do it!

2008 was a great year but 2009 is going to be even better!!! I will work hard and become a better person day by day :)
