Happy Turkey Day!

Homecoming is only in a few days (not that I'm going), and soon there will bee this Buy-A-Guy Auction!  What is it?  "Hundreds" of people will flock into the cafeteria on the 24th to buy the "guy of their dreams".  Man some people are so desperate!  LoL but I heard that those hundreds of people will more likely be coming there to watch the whole thing rather than to buy their dates.  It's gonna be funny tho, I kno it!  Anyone want to buy me?  x)

This Saturday I'm teaching kids in the Cantonese class 3 how to do Chinese painting.  last time a lot of them weren't even paying attention.. playing on their game boys.. lol.  my second year doing this.. aiyah   But actually this year's kids were really nice.  But because they're the most well-behaved, I feel very sad because I had to show them the most boring painting in the history of art.  Harrison - painting an old guy!  Steve - painting an eagle!  Jenny - ... a basket of cherries?   O yea!  and if you type my name into google.com, you can see some of the Chinese paintings I did that are hosted by The Annual Chinese Painting Competition.  that's right!  i'm famous!  lol

lol in Chinese School, we were reading a new chapter in this book, and in order for the teacher to demonstrate what the chapter meant, she took 2 guys and made them hold hands (!) and Herman played the role of the goat trapped in a fence.  Teacher was like, "Now how would you get out of this pen?"  and herman.. that idiot.. lol he ran past their arms and headfirst into the door!  lol dont kill me for this herman

the WestSide Story play on Friday was good!  the seats weren't that great tho..  i have a butt-ache x_x  lol.  it's not everyday you get to see guys doing ballet lol!  We ate lunch by the river in Red Bank.. pretti cool it was like a picnic.. I just had to make sure none of the seagulls would drop by and eat my bun ^^"  These guys tried to go onto one of the motor-boats while we were eating.. lol!  imagine what would happen if they really accidentally started it up.  Today we went to Barnes and Nobles and I bought this Yelloh-Girls book.. it's interesting.  Yelloh-Girl is like a Chinese American Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul for Girls.. can it get any more specific than that?!   It was made by the manager of www.asianavenue.com

Guess what I just realized.. I'm SHORT and I can't think of anything to fix it.  My parents are giving me all these details on how I never ate a lot of meat when I was growing and how I used to skip meals T_T  As if I feel bad enough now.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can still grow taller during the next year or so before I stop growing?  I'm only 5 feet and I don't really trust the internet.. lotsa scams out there u kno.  If you give some reccomendations too, it would be a lotta help.  thanxx =)

Eve is coming out with a new fashion line!!  Lol that very random.. And as for the price.. "I'm going to make it affordable. It will be at Macy's and Bloomingdales." And it's Jay Chou vs Jerry Yan for the role of the general in the new Mulan movie being made in China.  Starring Yeoh and co-star Chow Yun-Fat (from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon), directed by Stanley Tong.  For more info, check out www.xanga.com/JayChou

The Marking Period has ended!  2 week vacation ahead.  Cross your fingers for good grades

Come, night; come, Romeo, come, thou day in night;
For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night
Whiter than new snow upon a raven's back.
Come, gentle night; come, loving, black brow'd night,
Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun

Heyheys!  School is soo tiring.. even more so than CTY!  Sooo much homework too, and if that wasn't enough, I joined the tennis team so I got like no time to study.  But on the bright side, I'm actually passing Bio!  lol that reminds me.. the second week of school, we were observing sea creatures, and we got this deformed hairy crab in a petri dish xP  so anyways when we got up to stretch, i looked down at the table and saw the crab lifting up the lid and crawling onto the table!  i was like "HOLY SH--!"  and the whole class turned around.. yeah.. i am a big mouth =)  then later this guy was looking at the same crab, and he actually decided to lift up the lid of the dish, so it ran across the table.. lol he tried to pick it up with his hands!  then he had to drag it back onto the dish with the lid..  hey at least the teacher didn't see this

Oh yeah!  And I got cOnTaCtS too =)  Do you know how many hours it took me to get one in my eye?  2 hours of poking my eye x_x  i looked as though I had been crying.  Tomorrow the English Honors class will be going to see the Westside Story play.. oo I already saw movie.. i cried hehe.. but it's probably going to be good.. it's gonna HAVE to be good because i'm missing out on school because of this!

A Happy Birthday to my Mommy and Daddy.  I gave my mom a clay bear holding a star (saying Happy Birthday in Chinese) and a Hunny pot.. my dad burned it in the oven so it was completely black tho while we were playing Tetris =/.  We're missing out on the midterms this year in Chinese School.. haha we're the only ones to do that!  And also my Abercrombie & Fitch Racism article finally came out on the American school newspaper.. wow when i was walking to my next class, I heard these 2 guys talking, "Oh, have you heard of Abercrombie?  2 Wongs Can Make it White?  That is so stupid, now nobody is going to buy their clothes..."  and i was like "hey!!! i wrote that!!"  lol i feel important

Mars... On August 27th, when it was supposed to be the brightest, I sat outside on my mom's Toyota from 11 pm til 12 watching the red planet with my family.  It was supposed to be the closest and the brightest on that day.  Man it's not going to be happening in around 50,000 years... lol do you think we'll be alive then?  It was even close enough for my parents to take a picture of it and record it too.  It is so beautiful.. I'm pretty sure it's still out there now, if you check out during the late evening, even though it's much smaller than before.. don't miss out on your chance =)

Last character looks so demented lol    Nice name though, huh?  Guess who it belongs too   It might take a while to load.

Xangaing has been fun.. but so has my summer.  Drove back to Brooklyn and learned how to play handball the *right* way, rode around in my bike, camps, Ultimate Frisbee, tennis, badminton and meeting new people =)  I'll stop xanga for a few months or so.  Sorry!!  Plus I will have lots of work later anyway, so.. you know how I am when there's a computer beside me when I have chores and homework and stuff.  Hehe xP  Yeah so drop me a message in my guestbook, when you get the chance.  Just enjoy the few days of summer you have left!

Miss you

August 17: Just a note..this night or any of the nights this month, go outside and check out for the largest and brightest object you see in the sky.  If you focus on it, you can actually see the red tint.  That's Mars, and it hasn't been this close to Earth in at least 60,000 years.  I checked it out in a powerful telescope, and I could actually see the shape and curves and everything.  You may not be able to see it as clearly, but you definitely will be able to see Mars.  Try going at 10 to 12 PM.. that's when I went.  The brightest and largest view of Mars will be on the 27th of August.  Enjoy

Went to the CCTV Reunion @ my uncle's house last week.  It's this TV show short series program that my mom and aunts were starring in the 80's.. very funny ^^  Steve taught me how to play Diablo for the first time.. I kinda sucked so I just used his characters to beat the crap out of everyone lol..      I went roller-skating for like the 1st time in years and I pk.. tried to skate rly fast but I fell on my butt every few minutes.. that or I ran into something haha stupid ><  

My hamster passed away ='(  .. I was right by her before she stopped breathing.. *sigh*..

Stupid sister was just digging through my bedroom a minute ago... got pissed off at her and with my short temper, told her to get out.. but accidentally woke up my dad this way and he started screaming at me.. let my sister continue looking through my stuff.. *aiyah* lol xP.. the world's not fair!

Not much has been happening, so I'll just feature a few bits n pieces of A&F discrimination info.. unfortunately.. even though protests have been going on for a year, they still won't stop

Jennifer Kong, left, and Michelle Won, both students at Stanford University, demonstrate in front of an Abercrombie & Fitch store Thursday, April 18, 2002, in San Francisco.

For more info on A&F discrimination, go to http://naascon.org

It says: "Two Wongs Can Make It White"

There are several ways to interpret this message, as was posted on several sites: 

-- Two Wongs = One White (2 halves = 1 whole.. get the message?)

-- If you wear this shirt, even you can be "White"

-- 2 Wrongs (Wongs) Can Make It Right (White).. I don't think so

-- Stereotyping that Chinese are good for only washing clothes

News:  Abercrombie and Fitch began promoting a new multicultural line of clothing ... that turned out to send an offensive message to Asians.  Asian Americans are already stereotyped on TV, film and other media as uncultured foreigners who can't speak English correctly.  In promoting this myth in their new line of graphic T's, Abercrombie promotes this and other negative racist stereotypes.  College students launched an admirable nation-wide protest against Abercrombie in order to let Abercrombie know that consumers and Asian Americans will not tolerate this form of stereotyping and racism.

Now for the pixs from all over the country..
