What's Up with the Hooters's Shirt?

I saw a couple of guys wearing Hooters's shirt around the campus. It felt so weird. Ok, first of all, to all those who don't really know what Hooters (www.hooters.com) are, they are a restaurant with big boobs waitress who wore shorts and singlet to serve food. It is kinda a place where only guys(who has some other intention) go there, usually middle aged man.
I don't understand why guys would like to wear the hooters shirt. It makes them look desperate and shallow. So, you went to Hooters. Ok, you like big boobs. Do you really have to tell the whole world about it? Are you proud about that? You think you look cool cause you went to Hooters before? Jeez...think twice before you wore it. You probably wont get any gals if you wear it to the bar.

回家

終於, 終於, 我要回家了! 向老闆請了假, 今年年尾, 我要回家了! 很開心! 兩年沒回家了, 好想家. 朋友們, 你們還好嗎? 我要回來囉!
昨天, 把這消息告訴了爸媽, 他們聽了都很開心. 也許, 我真的是太久沒回家了吧! 慚愧, 慚愧! 爸媽要姐也回去, 難得一家團圓嘛! 唉! 好想家!
該留下來嗎? 還是畢業後就回去呢? 流蕩夠了嗎? 是時候回家了嗎? 我也不知道. 算了吧! 別想那麼多了! 船到橋頭自然直.
無論如何, 如果決定了要離開, 我一定會去歐洲遊玩了才回去. 所以, 現在最主要的是儲夠錢才決定吧!
馬來西亞, 還有兩個月, 我就要回來了! 等我吧!

Wake Me Up When September Ends

Here's the picture of the new skirt. I wore it today to Cheryll's birthday dinner. She was surprised to see me wearing skirts and also shirts without any writing on top. Hehehe..I have too much funky shirts. I have shirts that read "World's Greatest Trouble Maker", "Just Do It Later", "Excuse me, Do I Look Like Someone Who Cares?" etc..etc..Hehehe..Cool shirt, right? I just love this kind of shirts. Most of them are gifts from my sister and friends.
I had so much fun tonight, catching up with Costa Rica's friends, joking with each other and just hanging out. I miss them so much! I am myself most of the time when I hang out with them. It feels great.
I went to ice skate again today. I fell. Now I have a bump on my knee. It hurts so badly. :( Ok, no whinning. I deserved it cause I am the one who like this kind of sport. Now I can skate backward very gracefully, so, it's a trade off, I guess.
What a great weekend!!
I set a target for myself. I will start my literature review next month. Oct 1st, next Saturday. It is time to do what I am supposed to do now. September is ending soon..

Summer has come and passed..
The innocent can never last..
Wake me up when September ends..
(From Green Day's Wake me up when September Ends lyric)

Yeah, innocent can never last

Shop Shop Shop!

Yeah!! I got my skirt!! I have been looking for this skirt since I saw my friend wore it the last time I visited her in Boston. It was out of stock from Victoria Secret. Finally, I found it on ebay!! It was a size 2 but, I managed to fit in!! Yeah!! I thought it would be too big but, it fits!! Just a little lower, I guess. In case you haven't notice, shopping is one of my hobbies as well. :P Shopping is actually good for your health. Imagine, you walked around the shopping mall looking for stuff, you are actually exercising. When you see something you like, your heart started to pump so fast and your heart rate increased, you might rush to it or get really excited, that would burn more calories as well. See, girls who shop actually lose more weight than girls who don't. So, if you want your girlfriend to stay fit, bring her to shopping mall more often. Besides, if she shop more often, she will notice it when she gained weight cause her cloth size went up, then, she will try to do more exercise to maintain in shape. Hehehe...
I hope the weather wont turn too cold that soon..so that I could wear it. I think I am gonna wear it this Sunday to Cheryll's birthday party. Perfecto!!
Now, waiting for my lovely ice skate to arrive. Hopefully, soon..

深深的思念, 你感覺到了嗎? 今晚, 可會入我夢與我敘舊?

Random Rambling

Finally, fall begins. The weather was still very hot yesterday, even at night. Tonight, it is cold. Nice! I can't wait to see the first snow. I can't wait to skate on the frozen lake. :)
Another hurricane is coming. I hope everyone evacuated beofre the hurricane hits them. God bless them.
I went to Food Science Club meeting this Tuesday, and guess what I did? I volunteered myself and CL to organize the silent auction. Now, I regret. Seems like there are so much to do and so little manpower available. I am getting frustrated and hate myself for doing it now. I kept remind myself now that this is for charity so that I wont give up on it. Stupid me!
Gotta sleep early tonight. For some reason, I looked and felt tired these few days. I had enough sleep but yet, I felt tired and always woke up with mild headache. What's wrong with me? Should have taken more classes, I felt a little bit lost recently because I am too free. Weird, huh? Yeah, I am that weird.
It is going to rain this weekend. No rollerblading? Sigh... :(
Wish me good luck tomorrow!

ARGH!!!!

I went to Borders today with CL, and an old man hit on me!! I am so pissed!!
At first, I met the old man when I was buying my latte. He was in front of me and was trying to get a cup of tea. I was holding books and one of them is Bill Clinton's biography. He started talking to me and ask me about the book. I was trying to be polite so I replied him. He borrowed the book to see how many pages are there. Ok, fine. Then he ran out of things to ask me and I was trying to make my order, so, he left.
Then after I got my coffee, I went to sit by CL. It just so happen that he was sitting on the table next to us. Luckily, he was sitting at CL's side, not beside me. After awhile, he tried to talk to me again. I didn't suspect anything so I replied him politely, again. He asked about the book again and he told me that his eyes are tired and stuff like that. I just smiled and tried not to continue the conversation because he started to give me this creepy feeling. I pretend to read my book everytime after I answered his question. He still didn't take the hint!! He kept asking me question like, is the book the NY Times Bestseller and stuff. So, I told him is the national bestseller then I tossed him one of the book that I took which is the NY Times Bestseller. I then pretend to read again. He flipped through the book and few minutes later he returned me the book. I tried to be nice and smile at him again. Then, he went and refill his tea and sat back beside me. I can't concentrate after that. I was checking on his ring finger to see if he is married, and he is not!! He is just so damn CREEPY!! He then got a magazine and while he was flipping through the magazine, he occasionally looked at me. I decided to leave but I can't leave while he is there. I afraid that when he sees us leaving, he might also leave and follow us. After a while, he went to get another refill of his tea again. Then, he placed his cup on the seat that is opposite of where he was sitting. So, if he sits down, he is gonna be next to me. He started moving the chair that is next to me. Luckily, he went to look for magazines again. At that second, I told CL, "Pack now and leave" I picked up those books that I took and walked back to the shelves trying to put them back without him noticed me. CL told me that he walked back to the table and sees that CL is leaving, he then came and looked for me. I still have the last book in my hand which I have to put it back to where he was pretending to look for a book(opposite where I was standing). I pretend talking to CL to wait till he leave the place, but he walked to me!! He tried to start up a conversation again asking me about how is the book, again!! I politely replied him and then I just turned and walk away, without saying goodbye nor anything. Silly man! If I said goodbye to him, he might go on with something crazier!! I was so worried that he might follow us. Luckily, we leave him no chance to do that.
Dude!! You are 40 years old, with a stupid beard on top of your lip and dress like a stupid Texan (they are not smart cause they support Bush). What in the hell makes you think that I would be interested in you??!! Go Fxxk Yourself! You Fxxking Creepy IDIOT!!

Just Blogging..

It's 1.15am in the midnight and I am snacking!! Placing food near your computer is a mistake. Is a right "path" to get fat, but not the right path to the healthy lifestyle. Luckily, I am snacking on cereals, that, makes me feel a little better (trying to lie to myself).
Well, my BMI is actually on the edge of becoming underweight. Funny, huh?! Yeah, I thought so too. You can see a piece of meat sticking out from my tummy, that means that I have fat, but yet, my BMI is 18.6, which, is 0.1 above underweight. Anyway, BMI doesn't tell much about our health status. I don't buy the BMI thingy too much, I would suggest you to go see a doctor and get your annual checkup, that's the right thing to do.

Went to watch Skeleton Key with CL. I thought that it is a scary movie with ghost and those supernatural stuff, but it turns out not quite like what I expected. I personally would rate this movie B, no no no, B+, for having Kate Hudson in the movie. :) It is a nice movie though. It got me thinking. The message I got from the movie is that, when you want to know something, please, know it all. Knowing a little bit is not going to help you, it might cost you your life.
Speaking of supernatural, there is a new show "Supernatural" on WB channel now. Tuesday night right after Gilmore Girl. I watched a little bit since it was right after Gilmore Girl, it was quite an interesting movie. There is a cute guy in there, the guy from Smallville. I don't think I am going to watch it again cause it was kinda creepy, which is going to give me nightmare everytime I watch those kind of movie. But if you are those who doesn't believe in these kinda stuff, it might be a nice show for you guys.

I took the quiz that I saw from my friend's website last night. It turns out that I got all the same answers like my friend for both the "How are you in love?" and "Your Hidden Talent" part. Weird, huh?

Oh...so feel like curling my hair.

撒嬌

有時候,在發生了不開心的事之後,能向一個關心你的人撒嬌,會令你好過得多.那個人,不需要是家人,因為家人多數會太過擔心,或會想辦法和告訴你應該怎麼 做,令你沒法子痛快地難過一番.我始終相信,人到了最傷心的時候,或者說,到了極點或谷底,便會反彈,便會重新站立,然後振作起來.
所以,如果有個朋友向你哭訴,讓她哭吧!哭過了,便會沒事了.如果有個朋友向你撒嬌,讓她去吧!也許,你是在幫她紓解心中的不快,所以,何樂而不為呢?
能夠撒嬌,是一種福氣.
能有人願意讓你撒嬌,是前世修來的福分.
好好珍惜吧!

防備

CL常說,我是個戒備心很強的人,是嗎?她說,只要我察覺有人想接近我一點,我就會毫不給人機會地防備了起來,是嗎?似乎很像.
今天,破例了.中午和一個印度朋友,P,去溜冰后,她邀我上她家喝杯茶,我去了.本來,我也是一如往常地拒絕了她,因為,我從來都不想和別人太接近,但, 她非常地有誠意,所以,我去了.她煮了非常好喝的奶茶給我喝.她說,這茶其實很像市場上賣的 Chai 茶.回來後,我拿了姐留下來的 Chai 茶的粉,沖了一杯來喝,還蠻不錯的,但沒 P 弄的那麼好喝.下次得叫她教我了.記得她在茶中放了一些香料,印度香料,得問問她.
原來,放下防備之心並不是那麼地難,也沒甚麼不好.就像今天,如果我完全拒絕了P,那我也許永遠都不會知道原來 Chai 茶是那麼地好喝.此外,當我們提高防備心的時候,難免會把別人毫無惡意的小錯誤用放大鏡把它夸大而與他們發生爭執,傷害了對方,繼而反目成仇,令所有人都 為難和不開心.還好,P大人有大量,不然,我想我倆現在恐怕是仇人而不是朋友了.
改變,是好的.降低防備之心,也許也是好的吧!
还记得年少时的梦吗 像朵永远不调零的花
陪我经过那风吹雨打 看世事无常 看沧桑变化

那些为爱所付出的代价 是永远都难忘的啊
所有真心的痴心的话 永在我心中 虽然已没有他

走吧 走吧 人总要学着自己长大
走吧 走吧 人生难免经历苦痛挣扎
走吧 走吧 为自己的心找一个家
也曾伤心流泪 也曾黯然心碎
这是愛的代價

也许我偶尔还是会想他 偶尔难免会惦记着他
就当他是个老朋友啊 也让我心疼也让我牵挂
只是我心中不再有火花 让往事都随风去吧
所有真心的痴心的话 仍在我心中 虽然已没有他

這首歌, 寫實了我現在的心情.
現在的我, 抱著一點點的期待, 和一點點的冒險心態, 享受著遺忘已久了的單身生活. 那種可以偷偷地喜歡一個人, 光明正大地追求一個人的遊戲, 好期待...
外面的煙花和爆竹聲, 鼓舞著我心中那貪玩的小火花, 是的, 是時候好好讓他燃燒了.
單身日記, 讓我好好發揮吧!

Sin

Everyday is a little surprise, good or bad, depends on how you take it.

Tomorrow is the game between Iowa and Iowa State. Welch avenue is flooded with college kids, all planning to get drunk tonight. How many one night stand would happen tonight? How many STD will be transferred tonight? How many woman will be rape tonight after they got drunk? How many accident will happen tonight from those drunk driver? I saw one right across my apartment. What a stupid night filled with sins.
Still don't understand the purpose of getting drunk. Hangover is really not fun. I guess Ames is just too boring and people are too lonely.
I see lonely people walking on the street. Hope the drinking does help to cope your loneliness, at least for tonight.
Let's pray that Iowa State win tomorrow. :)
Nite, lonely people.

Emily

Emily cried today. Surprise?? Somewhat. Feel sorry for her? NO! Not at all. :) Feel mad? Yeah. She had been in grad school for more than a year. Last Thursday was the only day that she needs to stay late because she couldn't get done with her research, she starts to whine. Why did she cry? Cause she thought that she is the only person who has to work late and her experiment is too complicated for her. Come on, we work weekends and sometimes even work till 1am and we never complained! Our experiment is more complicated and more time consuming than hers! What is her problem? Acting like a baby. She shouldn't have started graduate school in the first place.
I had have enough of her. Right now, whenever I see her, I just say hi. I never even wanted to ask her how she is doing cause she never had a good day. Everyday to her is a living hell, I guess. Whenever she starts complain, any comfort words wont help nor stop her. Oh well, that's her. I learned to ignore her now. I walked into the office, if she starts saying I am tired, I will just smile back, and if she still didn't take the hint and keep going with words like "Crazy things" or "Complicated" I will just walk out, without replying her. I know, I am mean. But there is just so much you could take in one day. Everyone has their own problem, you just have to learn to deal with your own problem. You can't have a breakdown every single day over every single little things! I am not your stress dumping trashcan either! Learn to deal with your stress!
I guess, if she still doesn't want to learn to deal with her stress, her life will be more miserable, but I don't care, just like I don't care letting her know that I don't like her. Hahaha...I am EVIL.

Giving In

Sometimes, giving in makes you feel good. Besides, that makes everybody happy as well. I learned another lesson. I have a better control of my temper now.
退一步,海闊天空。

Nite, everyone.

......

今晚, 很想寫些東西.
今天, 是美國的勞動節, 所以, 我們有了一個很長的週末.
早上, 和CL還有Mabel去溜冰. 唉, 還是不能倒後溜, 好慚愧. 繼續加油! 很想學會了溜冰, 然後, 等明年Minnesota的湖結冰時, 就可以在湖上溜冰, 那種滋味, 應該還不錯吧!
昨天, 去了Ada Hayden公園玩直排輪. 還是很害怕, 還是不會停. 目標嘛...只是想從家滑到我的辦公室而已. 還得多多努力. 我們發現那兒有人出租Canoe, 一個小時十塊錢美元. 下個星期去玩玩吧!
發現到, 我變了. 我變回了以前的我, 愛動, 愛跑, 愛跳, 愛玩. 很喜歡現在的我. 很開心.
人生好精采. 這個週末過得很不錯.
天氣還是很熱, 甚麼時候轉涼呢?
在找著一雙便宜用過的溜冰鞋, 祝我好運吧!

噢! 忘了, KS, 生日快樂! :)
