Keep Moving Forward

edit// i miss my 小蝌蚪, i was gonna wait to post her pics up, so that i can post my "moving pics" too, but these are too cute tot wait! =P

“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” - Sir Walt Disney


As much as i like procrastinating on my blog posts, i do think that i need an update. (i color coded it again for you lazy readers =P)

Thursday: early in the morning, my 2 xuan-xuans and winston took me and my parents to the airport, they literally just dropped us off, which was fine, and completely not sad...haha ok, not competely, but it really wasn't that bad as the xuans have left me and i've left the xuans, and winston left us before too...anyways, one of my luggage was 12lbs over weight (what the fart, it had the lighest things inside too...) and so we had to take some crap out and that was real fustrating...oh and jerry appeared at that time, his eyes were water filled...i thought he just didn't get enough sleep but my mom claims that he was crying...hmmmm...(sparknotes version here) left tucson, transferred in Chicago, arrived an hr late in columbus, picked up by brother and jacqueline, went to Oo's residence to drop off all luggage, ate dinner at this korean place, went with brother to OSU while him and some youths played tennis, end.

Friday: woke up at noon (9am tucson time, be proud of me) to have lunch with bro at Tensuke (sp?) then came home, (the highlight of my weekend...so far, as there's still tomorrow) so in the spare time between after lunch and 8pm yg, i watched 2 disney movies! haha it made me so happy to see the mini collection of disney movies here (which i think xiao qi jiejie would be really happy to see too) i started with Meet The Robinsons just cause i haven't seen that yet, and at first i was like @.@ but then it became O.O it was so good! hahaha, it totally surprised me (i won't go into detail so i won't ruin anything for you yet-to-watch-it-ers...) but in it "keep moving forward" was like the main theme and at the end they put the quote by Disney that i put in the beginning of this post....and after the movie i felt like it was God telling me something too, cause the night before i left i started freaking out so much that i couldn't even sleep all night, shocker right? (details some day) but now, KEEP MOVING FORWARD! anyways, then i also watched The Little Mermaid...i couldn't decide which one, but then since she was the only princess one i decided to watch it...left for yg, played redonkulous game, stm testimonies (thumbs up), came home, end.

Saturday: had lunch with Rev. Oo's, went to Easton with anna, bernard, dianna, jacqueline, katie, marissa, mj, shirley, si chu, and later met up with steven and victor (bahahaha, it's alphabetized...i hope i'm not missing anyone) during Easton (sparknotes) bwen became obsessed with jam and steven is extra shady and almost got in trouble...oh and Tiffany and Co had free food <3! after Easton, went to park near katie's house, went to katie's house for dinner, came home, end.

Overall, it's been a good transition, and i'm getting a little excited to see what my classes are like...haha, but the whole parents leaving thing still scares me a little, so keep praying for me kids! i needa "keep moving forward!" (向前走呀! 努力向前走!)

p.s. if you girls see starbucks "vanilla bean truffles" YOU MUST BUY, SO DELICIOUS, i had one here at Oo's place, almost died from it being so good...dark chocolate on the outside and vanilla yumminess on the inside. =P

Major. No Longer a Minor

PRAISE THE LORD! for: 1) amazing family 2) awesome (and beautiful, might i add) friends and 3) a wonderful day

Today, morning i woke up at 10:15am and before i could REALLY wake up, my dad told me happy birthday and then prayed for me (couldn't help but teared up)...after that i checked my facebook/gmail to clear all the notifications/emails...hahaha then talked to my mother for a bit, then got ready for the day with my beautiful girls! got to the mall late, waited for meixuan, and began our amazing/fun photoshoot! then we went and got our tickets for The Time Traveler's Wife, ate lunch, checked out our pics, and watched the movie. The movie was really cute, sweet, adorable, but sad...haha i won't say too much about it tho...i really enjoyed seeing Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana tho...hahaha. anyways, then we shopped for a bit, i got a a hoodie from A&F for $12.90!!! haha and yixuan and meixuan also gave me an abercrombie hoodie (thanks~)
Then after getting home from the mall, i left again after about 10min, went to Sushi Yukari with parents, it was super delicious! and Yukari made a special dessert for me, oh man, super fattening...chocolate/banana cake, vanilla ice-cream, topped with whipped cream and chocolate cake crumbs...haha, then we came home.

I had a really really really great 18th birthday!! thanks to all who wished me happy birthday, each and every wish made me smile =) i'm especially thankful for The Girls tho...i think this birthday celebration was pretty downlow for an 18th birthday and we decided to do a birthday celebration that we used to do when we were like 12/13, haha when we couldn't go anywhere but the mall...but it brought back so much good memories and built so much more today~ thanks girls, it was legen-wait for it-dary! true story.
<3 Yes, it's true, we're that beautiful.
haha, posting this one just for kicks.

The Fantasmic 8

As previously written, (most) of youth group went on a road trip with Rev. Ongs//Lim Parents//D.Lu family last weekend...

Thursday: (IDIOT) Tony came to our house at like 6am something, when we emphasized 7:50am...(geez, he never gets anywhere on time, but that day he had to be early...) so that started off both my parents off in a pretty bad mood, cause they didn't go to bed till like 3am wednesday cause of 餐館團契...anyways, after getting to CA, we went to eat at 金都, SO DELICIOUS...then drove another hour or two to Torrance, practiced for a bit, went home, SPA-ED.

Friday: practiced from morning to night, except with lunch in between...ate a buffet, i thought it was hilarious that they'd treat us to a buffet when they KNEW we had a buffet owner with us...@.@ anyways, our New China PWNS. Praise night was pretty awesome, God really did some work...it seemed like the congregation was pretty dead, but we only got positive feedback...and parents with younger children are all hoping they'd grow up to serve in church, so praise Jesus for setting examples! then SPA-ED at night.

Saturday: REDONDO BEACH! had SO much fun riding the waves...hahaha, the boys were such wimps, all the girls jumpped in before they did, and that fatty mcfatfat winston took forever to join us...=.= after that went home and went to Q&A...blahblah DID NOT SPA. =O

Sunday: church, my babies left me =(, wanted to punch annoying lady in the face...talked to ex-SOP members, went home and "napped" (i did not, i poo-ed instead) then left for good korean food with a few adults, went home and SPA-ED with Nathan...went back and chilled.

Monday: DISNEYLAND!!! i want to live there...oh man, like yixuan said, there's no describing, it'll just ruin it...it was so amazing, and the company was great. it was a good birthday thing. thank you guys for making it awesome.

Tuesday: left early in the morning...DIED on the car...haha. done.

i have yet to upload pictures...but i will...tonight, maybe tmr...oh and i LOVE anita. she's here with me now (at church) boy, is she adorable. i think her nickname should be 嬌嬌...she is so much better at it than i am...

To The Left, To The Left

so last thursday, i started packing...haha i can't believe how soon my "moving date" is coming...AND i got my residence hall assignment yesterday...haha, but all the stuff i packed were just winter stuff, so it's making me rather excited =P, i'll save my recent "college transition" experience for my last bible study

yixuan, mark, dean, and i went to go see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on saturday, SUPER exciting stuff! i really can't wait for the 7th one! practice after that, then tracy, yixuan, jerry, tony, and i went to applebee's...hahaha there were so much funny stuff, like voice-automated car...i love this group, can't imagine college life without them =/

for some reason, before blogging i had a lot to write about, but now, i'm stuck...haha oh! today, woke up at 10 (crazy early...hahaha) to have breakfast with parents at Good Egg...was pretty delicious, and i couldn't finish...which was really surprising...O.o then i came home and went online for a while and fell asleep...=P then left for the most entertaining and fun practice ever...my mouth is feeling crazy uncomfortable right now, for the past 3 weeks since the surgery, i've been fine...but tonight it started swelling and hurts...boo. i guess i'll just sleep tonight rather than watching a movie...haha
