Government test
Wednesday : Drama Presentation
English Final
Thursday: Statistics Test

That's my schedule for this week! i KNOW i have stuff to do, stuff to study for, and just stuff...but the fact that these test pretty much determine my last semester grade that colleges will care about has not hit me...i'm such a slacker that now at the last week of school, i'm trying to do everything to boost my grades up...-sigh-. at least i know i'll have an A in bio! yay!

The past weekend was pretty fun and exciting! Friday night, we played "bao shu" and i got hit in the butt (with the basketball) twice....because "i never miss butts" -sigh- it was fun tho. then we practiced for our christmas play...haha seriously, having the white people as 2 of the 3 kings is the greatest idea ever, their chinese is too funny. Then we went to applebee's...it was...interesting...we had a 20min conversation about poo...haha...and we told the server it was Mark's birthday so when they brought over a chocolate shooter thingy he was like fwa?!? hahahaa hilarious. Then saturday night was the Let's Eat event. We ate, guitar hero-ed, then played hide-and-seek on behalf of Jerry...lol "can we play hide and seek?! Don't play till i get back please!" hahaha...his 5 year old was coming out. anyways, there really isn't much to update, but just haven't done it in a long time, there will probably be another one towards the end of this week...

Slapsgiving & Black Friday

This year's thanksgiving was pretty awesome. (you gotta say awesome the way barney stinson says it =P)

Thursday Church Thanksgiving Celebration: 3 people got baptized! i'm so happy! especially Ken getting baptized!!!
during it i played piano for the Lu kids to sing 3 songs, they were adorable and did sucha good job...then Rudy played the Harmonica while Alex played guitar...and they played all the songs that we usually sang at their worship, it was so good! i like how they usually don't even know the song or how to sing it, yet, they were able to "play it back to us" according to Rudy's words. Then Atonious sang this song while Alex played guitar, Atonious was SO nervous, his voice kept cracking, but he still did a really good job and i'm so proud of all my co-workers! =)
Afterwards, there was a HUGE dinner...seriously...i didn't get any pictures of the food, it was CRAZY!!! With 5 restaurant owners there, there was ALL kinds of foods! it was DELICIOUS! During dinner, i set up Yee's Wii and Sau Guh's Guitar Hero on projector, it was so big...it was fun. Then Yixuan and i came home, we guitar hero-ed some more on projector...we said we would only play for an hr, we ended up playing for like 2.5hrs...haha then she took a 15min nap while i showered...

Friday 12am: we left home a little before 12 and met up with Mark at church to get some chairs and stuff...then off to best buy we went! The line wasn't that long...well we were in the "back" because a buncha people set up tents and stuff like that, that took up a lot of space...so we brought 3 kinds of chips and a buncha water...while we were sitting for the first hour or so, we ate...but afterwards, when people took off their tents and we moved infront of the store, we put all the chairs away and we didn't even eat the snacks...(that reminds me, they're still on my car...><) oh yeah, Jess and Binh joined us after a while, and while we were in line, yixuan, mark, and i got really cold and went to Mark's car to warm up, then we drove to McDonalds and they got sausage mcmuffin, i wasn't hungry tho...then we continued staying warm in his car...finally around like 4:30 we went back out...and Meixuan and Lixuan came and the 3 xuans went to the mall. When we finally got in, Mark got his memory thing and decided not to buy the game, and i reserved my camera...which ended to be like 20min max...and we went to the mall to meet with the xuans...They were waiting in line at Forever 21 and Mark and I didn't want to wait so we went to Starbucks and we took a short nap there...the xuans were at Sears (what the?) so we went there and "stalked" them we followed them around for like 10min and they didn't even notice us, even though they walked by us like 3 times...haha then some more shopping...We left around 8:30am...the xuans kept shopping and we lost Jess and Binh after seeing them lining up at Forever 21. I went back to best buy around 11:30am with my parents and got my camera! xD super happy, i really really ridiculously like it. i got a 4gb memory card for $15 at office depot and a pair of purple sony headphones that i've seen around but never bought it till today...yay! So yeah that's pretty much of thanksgiving and black friday, it was supah fun. =)

Tradition

i went to desert's production of Fiddler on the Roof yesterday, and there first song was "Tradition" and it was repeated throughout the musical so it was stuck in my head today...haha which is why the title is also called that...anyways, oh myyyyyy, i really really really ridiculously enjoyed it! They were awesome! Kevin did such a good job! i didn't get a chance to congratulate him though...and everyone else! Jessie was Samuel's mom...hehe, i've always made fun of her for looking so much like him and this time she got to play his mom, how funny...anyways, i had a great time...and when i got home, all i did was eat dinner and watch 6 episodes of How I Met Your Mother...didn't even do any homework, even now, i don't have any done...today all i did was go to church, take a nap, eat two bites of stuff, went to chipotle with family and yee, then facebooked, and now blogging... i'm a horrible, horrible student...

Anyways, so for like the past month, i've been the biggest complainer about how Christmas came early this year and now annoyed i am at that...because i LOVE Christmas, but 1) it's still so warm 2) Thanksgiving hasn't even passed yet 3) i just don't feel like it!!! but randomly, about 20minutes ago, i decided to play my Christmas playlist, and when i do that it means i'm getting into my Christmas mode, and now i'm SUPER in the Christmas-ness!! it's crazy, i'm gonna set up the Christmas tree at church this wednesday and the Christmas playlist is going back on my iPod and just...YAY!!!! haha such a sudden change, but i'm excited!!!

i'm really excited for black friday! i really really wanna get a new camera...i really doubt ma will let us camp out of best buy, but if we get a few more youths to do it, including males, i wonder if she will....haha if not i'll just have to wake up super early to go!!! yosh! well, time to shower and kill more time before really doing hw....even though it's already 11:25...ai...

1 Senior : $6.29

(info about title: that's how much it costs for a senior to eat at new china past 4pm)

i think it's time for an update. last weekend was normal...kinda...haha friday night during yg i baked 3 cakes for Shui Bing, Mark, and Jerry...one for the each of them. and we ate cake. Ming was also back this week, so it was pretty cool. we had up to 26 people at youth group this week!! how awesome? praise God! then saturday was interesting, i got a $1 beanie from Old Navy, then Yixuan and i went to sonic for happy hour drinks, so delicious! then went home, went to Newsboys Reach Concert, went to sonic...lol...food made our day tho, we're so easily satisifed. then sunday was church and i didn't have to work...again. hahaha.

today was senior ditch day, i don't know how many people actually showed up, but whatevers, i got a chance to ditch, so i did. but i went to work. which was interesting too, i haven't worked in a while, and i guess i kinda really missed it, so i had fun. =) there really isn't much update...but yeaaaah. ok

Girl-rrito

it's 1:11am right now, i haven't showered, i smell like burnt stuff, and i'm super tired. but i wanna get this post in before bed or end of weekend.

so obviously, today was halloween, what a lame day, anyways we didn't "dress up", 10 of us just decided to all be an ingredient of a chipotle burrito! haha, we just all got a "colored" shirt and then wrote our ingredient on the front and "chipotel" on the back and yes it's misspelled because it's like a fake brand...haha. here's our list of ingredients, in order that you would get at chipotle:
Rice - Tony
Steak - Yee
Black Beans - Jess
Pinto Beans - Tracy
Salsa - Meixuan
Sour Cream - Janet
Corn - Martha
Cheese - Yixuan
Guacamole - Me
Letteuce - Lixuan
so today at yg, we had bon fire and "Holy Spirit" vs "deamons" discussion, which turned out poorly, which would be my fault as i failed to look up some stuff, and with the smoke blowing against my face, using the fire as a light, and constantly losing my place, it was very hard to keep focused. Anways, afterwards the 10 of us went to Chipotle and only Yee, Tony, and Martha ordered, but the people, amazed at our effort gave us 2 free burritos! although today was like an all day "you have foil all over you, you get a burrito" but we didn't have any foil! haha, it was cool tho. Praise Jeebus! =P then we just took lots and lots of pictures, which i am positive will all be on facebook from Jess and Tracy. but i better go shower now as i am pretty darn disgusting.

Yay no work tomorrow!

edit\\ i forgot to add, we stopped by new china before going to Chipotle because they wanted to it cause i told them it was a 10 person event. haha. and i made Rudy build his perfect burrito, he ended up having a "steak, rice, lettuce, cheese'" burrito, he wanted guacamole, but when i told him it cost 1.50 more he said no. well poo on him...haha we were not happy with his burrito as he only used 2/5 of all our ingredients!

Bonding Time!

this week was my first week without work...at all not even today! which is why i'm here blogging...haha first week in so long! but i'm probably gonna go work this week since Rudy is dying...err, sick...so yeah i'm gonna go help out, and get paid.

this weekend was fun, nothing extraordinary, but it was fun and very bonding-ful. haha.
friday: usual youth group, had like 22 people, 5 FOB guys all dressed up, and missing 4 usuals. it was cool and no hang out afterwards cause we were all seeing each other the next day.

saturday: practice, in-n-out, fall clean up. poo on you kids that did not come help and good job to those that did. we took EVERYTHING out of the trailer, wiped every thing down, vacummed, it looks beautiful...haha, i'm proud of us. then it was the youth group bbq at the Su's in Africa. didn't do much, jumped in and out of the jaccuzzi, ate steak and lamb, guest house for mind games and card games, everyone went home.

wow, it really doesn't sound that exciting at all when i write it like that...haha but that's ok, that's pretty much it...i'm glad i didn't have work today, i have so much stuff to finish, but i probably won't start it till after the usual time i get off work, so it really would've made no difference...hahaha. mmm, i'm gonna go buy myself some food, since my dad doesn't want to cook for me.

God is Good, All the Time

God is good, this weekend was pretty legendary (ha, inside joke with Yixuan from How I Met Your Mother) so it was fun, filled with laughter, and just good times of bonding with friends.

Friday: after youth group we - tracy, xuans, jerry, mark, janet, jess, winter - went to wingstop, haha, haven't been there as a youth group since like ming or my brother. and it was fun, but without my brother, i didn't order anything cause 1) it's so late 2) i can't finish that much, when it's that late 3) he pays for it...hahaha. the others, not me, tracy, or yixuan, were playing BS before the wings came and then when the wings came everyone was just focused on eating...but it was still a good time of fellowship

Saturday: after practice, yixuan and i went shopping as planned, because i didn't have to work! yay! oh and i took Alex, who also had the day off with us. first destination: AE, yixuan and i both had very little amount of money on us, so we had to spend our money wisely. long story short (not really) we both found this shirt we liked, and i found this pair of shorts that i liked too, which is rare, but the shirt we both liked had a price of $14.95, at least that's what the price tag said, so yixuan and i wanted to check how much the total would be if those three things were bought, when they scanned the shirts, they turned out to be $9.95! and since they're having a sale at AE, everything is buy one get one 50% off, so yixuan found another shirt, and so the shirts became $4.97! man, yixuan and i were SO happy! haha, alex got stuff too - 2 things, and he was excited xP then we drove to eegee's, but since yixuan and i literally ran out of money, we had to use all the coins i had in my "coin department" on my car, and we managed to get quite some money and bought a large eegee's to share between us 3. (btw, xiao qi jie, the flavor of the month is Black Raspberry, it tastes pretty amazing, like a sibling of strawberry) then we went to the New China Dorms to listen to Alex play guitar for the first time! geez, pretty amazing for self-taught and all by listening to music and just catching things, no book no teacher no nothing. then we came home and took a nap. then we went off to desert's homecoming game, hooray for sam and caitrin wining homecoming king and queen! then us four girls -xuans and tracy- went off to starbucks and took pictures like crazy...haha it was funnnn and very humours. pictures of both days are on tracy's facebook, yes, the outfit i'm wearing in the homecoming/starbucks pictures was the shorts and shirt i got earlier that day...for uber cheap! yes! xD haha

sunday: church, work, and homework. not much.

once again, God is good, and i praise Him for this wonderful weekend!

Desert vs St. Gregs

last night, the xuans, tracy, yee, tony, and i went to Desert vs St Greg's soccer game...pretty exciting...we (desert) lost, pretty badly too, which means yee gets bragging rights...but we all already told him to shut up...hahaha...i feel like the ref was a little biased tho...=/ but that's ok, 1st loss of the season! we're doing pretty good!! we didn't get to chill or anything but we took a few pictures at the park, and here they are: (i can't get blooger to listen to me...so the captions can't go by the pics...) #1 : on behalf of Mark's request to do the "cute" asian pose #2: we actually look rather normal (and short) #3: it looks like a triangle/pyramid...haha we're such cool kids...

ironic

i finally have kinda stopped working...after quitting 3 times, each time being called back the day after, they finally found someone to work, but i still have to go in on weekends...haha...i really miss working there tho, especially now that i chat with my co-workers as if they're my age...the funniest thing is that i completely didn't want to work there in the beginning, and now that i have finally [kinda] stopped, i really miss it....=/...it was a really good experience and super fun, i'm just sad that these servers will leave and go to other places, and i'll never be able to contact them again...-sigh-...i've been taking a lot of pictures at work tho, or i did, when i thought i was gonna stop working, so i'm gonna post a few now.
here is alex: my favorite server!!! he's so weird and goofy, the first one to talk me...and say hi to me everyday...his english isn't great so whenever i talk to him he gives me a weird look and just smiles...and then i ask "you have no clue what i'm talking about huh?" and he just continues smiling...hahaha.
Next, 2nd favorite server, STEVEN! hilarious guy too...first impression of him was when he came up to the front and started complaining in indonesian, had no clue what he was saying, but his facial expression was just funny...see? he's just a funny looking guy...havea better pictures of us, but his is funnier so yup...him and his wife (WIFE! OMG! HE'S ONLY 23!!!) are SO cute, but his wife won't let me take a pic of them together, so i can't...-sigh-...they are adorable tho, he's always helping her clean up her tables cause her section just always happens to be the busy one (don't blame me) and on a saturday, where he got this section that would be busy probably 2 times the entire day and she got the busiest section, there was a table that wanted "2 pepsis" he's like "hun, dua pepsis (hun, two pepsis in indonesian)" and he said it twice, she gave him a glare and he immediately went and got those two pepsis...lol i laughed so hard...

wow, i didn't think i would go on for that long...anyways...so i'm in AP Bio now instead of AP Enviro, it's all part of God's plan tho, i wanted to choose that class, but i chickened out and went into Enviro instead...but then when i went into Woon's last monday he's like "WHY AREN'T YOU IN MY CLASS?!" sooo i switched into his class...=D i like it more than enviro tho...but they're already 13 chapters into the book, so i'm way behind...@_@...pray pray pray!

21 days later

21 days after my birthday, it's...YIXUAN'S BIRTHDAY!!! sooo a run down of last weekend...

Friday night: special "relationships" class/"sermon" so we didn't have youth group instead...it was cool, i really enjoyed it...then we went to frost and udall park afterwards...took lots of stupid pictures as usual...haha

Saturday: i had to work all day instead of just half day...because we were missing a server therefore no server could help out with the host job...-sigh-...then i went to church to help take care of kids...haha, then i came home, and made yixuan's birthday powerpoint.

Sunday: i planned a surprise "party" for yixuan...the original plan was for me and her to go take care of kids for tracy while she goes and buys eegee's...but then that didn't work cause children got out earlier than we did...sooo i had to come up with a new idea asap. so i decided that we're gonna tell all the youth we're going to costco, yixuan would get on my car, and i would drive off first, and then the youth would call and tell us they don't wanna go to costco, and i would drive back and they would all be in the trailer...hahaha turn out? perfect. =P it was fun...there are pictures, but i'm too lazy to upload...so go to yixuan's blog to see 'em...

so i don't know what God wants me to do for this certain situation...i don't feel like explaining the whole thing right now...but i'll ask for you guys to pray about it in youth group tomorrow, but yeah i don't know what God wants me to do...but i'm sure He'll be clear about it so there's no need to worry...

You Made It Golden

this is kinda late, but whatevers. Last Sunday was my Golden Birthday, oh hooray, haha...at first, i was really upset that my mom was gonna be in california and my bro isn't home either (and he's not even in ohio! he was in taiwan...so far!) but God is amazing and loving, He made my birthday weekend absolutely wonderful. It was simple, but amazing.

Friday night: xiao qi jie's last friday...but no one was sad because we were gonna see her for the next two days...hahaha...
Saturday night: where all the fun began! 15 of us, went to olive garden...all the girls had to wear something yellow and the guys had to wear black...the turn out? awesome! haha...here are the girls (except for kathy, linda, and feifei)i had a great time that night, i didn't get to be with everyone, but those that i did get some time with, good times...haha...after olive garden, we all headed towards frost. there we spent like 30min or something...i think all i did was take pictures with yixuan...haha it was cool too...here is an awesome picture: kudos to xiao qi jie's awesome camera!
Sunday: my aunt and uncle came down from phoenix, and all of us (aunt/uncle, xiao qi jie, sau guh) went to outback together...had a great bonding time...and after waiting for like 10 years (4hrs+) my mom finally got home...she brought me a beautiful cake and we ate it on monday...i have a pic of it, but it's not uploaded right now...well anyways...that's pretty much it...i wanna thank all of you! from 30,000 facebook notifications to 10,000 hugs, you guys are awesome, and i praise God for all of you!

The Dark Step Brothers

i saw the Dark Knight last thursday with my dad. oh man! it was crazy!!! haha...usually after every movie i replay the whole movie mentally...but i couldn't even do that with this movie...i really liked it...althought, because i've been hearing so much about it and how good it was i think it ruined the excitement...it was still REALLY REALLY REALLY good though, ok sorry for those who haven't seen it yet. and i'm starting to really like Christian Bale...best Batman so far. xP...but as much as i don't like Katie Homles i don't know if i like Maggie Gyllenhall either...she wasn't pretty, in fact, she looked like a grandma...whatevers...Two-Face looked freakin' scary...i thought it'd be like the old one and then when he showed up i was like AH!!! haha...and Alfred is the funniest butler ever...after Geoffery...i wish "Alffery" was my butler...lol.

On Saturday, Yixuan, my Cousin, and I went to go see Step-Brothers, no doubt it was hilarious, it was just even more "crude humor than a usual Will Ferrell movie...he's hilarious, but he needs a little less "R" humor...i don't really think it was worth watching in the theaters...well, whatevers it was funny and it made my day so yay!

school starts in a little more than a week...and i'm gonna be working all the way till the day before school starts...i gotta be honest tho, i'm kinda sad i'm not gonna be working...my manager (the one that's not my uncle) was like "you happy to finally stop working" i was like "you know what? i'm actually kinda sad" haha i got pretty close to a few of them and i'm probably not gonna see them that often anymore and any of them change jobs really quick...so yeah..=/ well anyways i think that is all...i'm on my 9th stripe on my scarf!!! that's more than half way done!! hooray!!!

WANTED: James McAvoy

my cousin and i saw WANTED yesterday...why? because Winston who wanted to see it too told me to wait for him so i did, but he went to Ohio and saw it with my bro and others...(ok, it's the last time i'll do that to you) so we went to go see it...haha...pretty darn good...i'm not a big fan of action movies, even tho i love super hero movies, but this one was pretty good...a little too bloody tho...i don't think i needed that much detail...pretty intense...and of course, James McAvoy...one of the reasons i wanted to see it so bad...he was pretty spiffy in this movie...cause the other movies of his that i saw were all drama and chick flicks...so he was always this 爱人...anyways, i also saw Kung Fu Panda with my family last monday...and both movies are like someone who think they're no one who manages to become someone, and someone big too....which i thought was interesting cause working at New China, i told one of the servers who plays guitar to bring it on wednesday nights when we have restaurant worship and he should play, but he says he can't do it...we always say we can't do things and yeah we really can't...but He can so what's the big deal...if He chose you to do something, you CAN do it...-sigh- i'm like that too but i will become a kung fu master who can curve a bullet!!! xD

p.s. po, the panda in kung fu panda, reminds me of my bro...don't disagree.

626

626 represents so much...anyways, i'll start out with the important stuff.

Happy Birthday Simon Kwan Chei Bin!!!
Happy Birthday Kazuya Xu!!!

well, hooray for the happy stuff...ahBin chatted with me at work yesterday (not that he usually doesn't, but more yesterday) and so we celebrated his birthday through skype...hahaha and for duoduo's birthday my parents and cousins took him to new china to "celebrate"....i should've told the waiters to bring the horrible cake! just kidding...sooo it was all cool.

on tuesday night, woody talked to me through facebook chat, and we haven't talked in a long time, well cause, i haven't been getting on aim, and he's rarely on too...but then he told me he was leaving wednesday....so then i got super sad...we don't really hang out anymore, we don't really talk anymore...but we were really close friends and it was nice having him just 2 hours away and always trying to plan hangouts whenever i go down...but now he's in colorado training to be a pilot! -sigh-

it's been two weeks of work now, getting used to it...not really liking not being able to wake up naturally...at...2pm...hahaha...but it's still cool...i'm closer with all the indonasians, they remind me of my malaysians....but the china kids finally started talking to me...so yep. i also got paid today, so that was super cool...xD...i am now off to bed, i thought this post was gonna be much more meaningful cause i was gonna talk about my 2 best guy friends...but i decided that you, readers, do not need to know too much info...haha

p.s. i got new clothes! whoo hoo! another one of the "pretty" shirts but black and white pants....x)

edit// i remember now! haha aside from the birthdays and the farewells....i also got my SAT scores on 6-26....and the su family also left too...so yeah that's why 626 is so crowded and i had to make a post just about it...it is also the area code to my number...ha.

week numero uno

first week of work is now officially over...-sigh- so i work as a hostess at New China, which has been a much easier job than when i worked there last time....better work time and better people...so all i do is say "hello, how many?" -put it in the computer- and then take them to a table, take their drink orders and then go back to my hostess station...super lame...i feel like the people are just taking me to the table they want...they always walk in front of me and then say "this ok?" i'm like what the...i'm supposed to be asking that...and then if a station is closed and i say that "i'm sorry that station is closed" they will be like "WHAT! YOU WON'T LET ME SIT THERE?!" i'm like FINE GO SIT! and they're all mainly mexicans...ew. haha...i like the nice old people...they're so nice...and old...and slow...there was this old man who after grabbing his food suddenly forgot where he sat and wandered around the whole restaurant so i had to bring him back...felt so bad for him...haha...anyways 1 week is done and only the whole rest of the summer to go...hooray....

Post-Ohio

The first week back from Ohio was SAT study week. My parents were gone for a whole week (they were at Riverside or a conference thing) so Yixuan stayed over the entire week because my parents didn't want me to be home alone and we were studying for the SAT. Ok so, not that important. Monday night we just kinda chilled for a while, then at like 12-ish we went over to Tiffany's and just talked till like almost 2...so we got home and didn't want to go to bed and decided to watch a movie...by the time we decided something it was like 2:30. So we watched Love Actually haha and it ended around 4:40 and we both went upstairs to go sleep. But half way up the stairs we looked out the window and were like "WHOA!" it was already a bit bright...so then we went into my dad's room that has the giant window and watched the sun rise...then finally we decided to go outside to get a clearer view of it. oh man it was so pretty...pictures are on facebook...don't have a facebook? get one.

So now this is the second week back from Ohio...and it's suppose to be job looking week or job waiting week...i submitted 3 applications last week...2 to starbucks and 1 to this office place...if i don't get any soon i'm just gonna end up working at new china...-sigh- ok i'm done.

one last note, the week of "studying for SATs" i got to chat with ahBin a lot and it was SO fun! haha xP and then friday kathy's cousin, duo duo came back to US...haven't seen him in 7 years...pretty cool...has the same hair and birthday as ahBin...=____=

Ohio

a run down on everything that happened in Ohio and Chicago...so far. (yes, it's long.)

Thursday: arrived at Columbus, Ohio after a 3hrs 45min flight. Brother picked us up, almost cried when i saw him...haha, went to a chinese restaurant that was just about to close but gave us 15min to eat, then went to brother's new place to sleep!

Friday: woke up at 5:30am Tucson time, 8:30am Ohio time, to go visit Cedarville University. it was really cool, i really liked it...(pictures are on facebook, don't have a facebook? get one) and i bought a t-shirt that i immediately wore the next day...haha. For youth group, they went bowling, i sucked more than i did back at home (now that's pretty bad), but it was still really fun. I really like the kids at guh's youth group, they're all really funny and uber nice. my lane was especially funny...here were three guys and three girls, including me. they were all pretty good i was like DANG IT! WHY AM I STUCK WITH THE GOOD PEOPLE! haha....but that night was really fun. Afterwards, we went to Applebees...of course...and i just chilled with three of the girls from that church, they were funny and it was good fellowship time.

Saturday: slept till we felt like it...which wasn't very late...went to go buy a few things from costco, went to church to help make some food for the sale on sunday to raise money for their mission trip, mom had a class thing at church, left church, some youth came to guh's place to watch michale clayton, i decided not to watch it after like 10min...1) got too boring 2) we already rented it at home...i wanna wait...haha...

Sunday: church, sunday school was refreshing, guh has improved a lot...worship was (Columbians, don't take offense to this) not as good as our church's, so youth group, give yourself a pat on the back, if you're not on worship team, go pat someone who's on worship team a pat on the back...they only did two songs i knew and really didn't do that good on it (Your Grace is Enough and Prince of Peace) sermon was done by guh guh, which was really really good! i'm glad he left tucson and have this chance to improve so much! Praise God! after church me and 3 girls and guh went to two malls, don't remember the first one, but the second one was Easton, which was super awesome! outdoors mall, gianormus, and my legs were sore afterwards...hahaha...and everything was on sale and cheap (and tax is lower!) but i didn't buy anything...

Monday: woke up around 9, left for chicago around 9:30am...arrived around 3:30pm, went to chinatown that scared the crap outta me...all those black homeless people...i thought i was gonna die...hahaha...we ate at this place called "Peneng" which obviously serves malaysian food, and it was good, makes me miss malaysia tho...but the manager became friends with my dad cause you know, the malaysians...haha....my mom and i wanted to leave chinatown right after cause we were both scared but my dad and bro wanted to stay longer...who got their way? the girls! we drove to wheaton college first, just to know where it is then we went to look for a hotel...finally found one, hampton inn, stayed there...just because i think this is funny...you might not want to read this next sentence tho...the whole family took a dump at the hotel...hahahahahaha.

Tuesday: woke up at 8 or so due to ze father's snoring....went down for free breakfast...left to go visit wheaton college...now for those of you who know me really well, you know that wheaton has been my first choice since i don't even know when....so i was really excited...the campus and everything was really nice...except that it was soooo freezing cold!!! it was like 44 degrees! O_O...but i was really sad that the bookstore was closed so i couldn't buy a t-shirt...>=(...after wheaton we drove back to chinatown, ate dimsum (ehhhh....wasn't that great), drove back to ohio. so here i am! ok i'm done, there will be more stuff when i get back to tucson....

i tried extending my plane ticket, cause i don't really wanna go back to tucson anymore...haha, i like it here in the midwest...cold? yes, very...pretty? yes very...green? crazy green...but too bad, i'll be back in the desert on thursday night....-sigh-
