does friendster send out “blog updated alerts” to everybody everytime i write a new entry?
that kinda sux. I don’t want to “alert” ppl everytime i updated my blog….
who knows how i can stop that? can i change any settings on my side to do that?

Happy birthday to my cousin Irene. 20th birthday! great age! lots of fun to come! (starting this long weekend… cos ur sister ME is gonna take you to EXPERIENCE the world wahahahahahahahahah)

have a safe flight for both Mavis and Eddie. have fun back home

today, first day of my Marketing class, a guy named Joe came to me and ask
"do i know u from somewhere? "

then i thought… man~ at least try to be creative~ XD
turned out that he really does know me XD He is Joanne’s friend, and we all (joss and cho-cho were there too~~ btw, Joss, where r u now? paris? miss u!) hanged out in the city like 2 years ago! that’s so random right? same class? 
He told me that Ian is not doing too well these days…..
Ian we all give you all our blessings~ please get well soon!!! We can all go KTV again next time~ Lots of "joo-foo" to you………….

oh also, last night i went to see Batman Begins. didn’t like the main actor… i don’t think he looks like a batman at all….  and personally, i think Katie Holme is not pretty enough to be batman’s girl. and why did morgan freeman agree to play that part? no challenge what-so-ever. ok i’m being very picky here…. but u have to know it’s all because I love Batman!! he’s my favorite super hero! maybe that’s why i’m dissapointed.

"it’s not who i am underneath, it’s what i do that defines me."

oh another thing, today afternoon i went to my boss’s apartment to fix her computer. (surprising huh? ME "fixing" computers??? wahahahahahah) Darn~ such an impressive apartment! at 200 Riverside Blvd, the Trump tower penthouse. have both river view and Manhattan view. on a clear day,  north can see yankees stadium and south can see the previous WTC. man~ i want to be a president of a non-profit organization too (or better yet, president of a PROFIT corporation) (or maybe it’s because she got a rich husband?) hahaha i should stop dreaming and start doing some homework and go to bed.

ah~ nitght night ppl.

why are we being so obsessed on everything?
why the hell is it raining when i don’t have my umbralla with me?
why do people who have bad tastes always in control of my design?
why do i need the horoscope prediction to tell me how my day will be like?
why does american corporations always make things much more complicated in life? aren’t they suppose to help us improve our lives?
why can’t I do the six-steps well like other ppl?
why do ALL MY CLASSES have to start at the same time?
why is everything pissing me off today?

and most importantly, WHY IS IT RAINING? how should i get home?

went to the movie “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” with my dear friends maggie virginia and mavis.
it’s such a cute and sweet movie~ brought out a lot of memories in me
(teenage, summer loves, hate, finding myself, cute sunshine guys….etc)
ah~ feel so old now
so we, also 4 girlfriends, gonna be aparted soon… so we decided to do a traveling top thing XD with a notebook, recording what the magical traveling top has brought us. and maggie suggested that we don’t wash it before mailing it, then the next person will get the feel of the pervious person (and the smell) it’s kinda gross and sweet at the same time…. XD gonna miss u girls *sniff sniff*

who watched that show? i just love it! I envy those ppl so much because they can have the once in the life time chance to be trained by a pro, preform on national TV, and compete professionally. so much fun!!! I like John O’Hurley, partnering with Charlotte Jorgensen (the couple to be?).
John is the oldest person in the competition~ his energy level might not be too good, but his charm and preformance skills is just the best.
and after a successful preformance, while John is catching up his breath, he joked with Charlotte “marry me”~~ i thought that was so charming~~~
if my partner and I worked sssooooo hard on one thing and won in a big competition, maybe i would really want to marry my partner too~~~ XD

many guys think learning ballroom dancing is a gay thing. but no~ see how a being a decent ballroom dancer can turn a guy into such a charming gentleman? man… now i regreted that i skipped half of my Tango classes last semester the problem is that none of my friends, girls or guys, are really into ballroom~ learning a dance together with friends make the expereince so much more fun. so… who has the same feeling with me? want to go find a professional dance teacher and master some ballroom?
i’m not in a hurry tho~ i’m sure i’ll learn it sooner or later kekeke.

got an email from Joss wishing me happy “half birthday” ^___^
so sweet of u Joss!
and yeah i was thinking about last year we went out for my half birthday~ good times, great memories after all, how many friends will celebrate your “half birthday” without thinking it’s a stupid idea?
so touched.

and here i want to say to
Joss, Hancy, Faye, Jeff, Jon, and Fiona:
last summer was so much fun! u guys are great~
it’s a pity that i merely have any chance to hang out with you guys since then~
miss u all!

this year, i’m alone here in the big city, without Mr. Big. (darn i must have watched too much sex and the city…-__-||). anyways, just want to say thanks for the half bday party last year. tonight, my horoscope prediction says that i’ll go somewhere unexpected, meet new people and have a lot of fun. (really? like how? maybe it means watching a lot of TV and VCD :P)

It’s amazing how a single person can change your life.

this 6 months (wow it has been six months already, man…)
i think i’ve only been to like 3 movies (comparing to.. more than 10)
stayed home and watched 4 VCD drama series (comparing to none)
watched more TV than ever (altho i only have basic cable. 20 channels. sux.)

accomplished more in school and work than the past 2 years.
and finally really start taking hip hop lessons.
(because nothing els to do i guess XD)
so should i say it’s my period of self-actualization?
(according to Maslow, self-actualization is the pinnacle in the hierarchy of human needs.
ideally, every healthy person should live with a goal of fulfilling this need.)
in that way, am I in a “healthier” condition now?

i dunno. but i think healthy person comes from healthy relationships.
i still prefer being in a relationship than single i guess.
now u may argue, but relationships and self-actualization are two different things. not contradictory.
yeah right, whatever. it is most of the time contradictory, the best u can do is find a “balance.”
(okay maybe i’m very traditional asian inside, but i definitely think girls tend to give up more on their own self-actualization or whatever stuff that could be important to them)

why i’m talking about this? i dunno, maybe because:
1. i’m bored at work. half the ppl in my office is not in today.
2. there’s bored readers like u that’ll come read my boring blog
3. i start getting tired of single life (no~ stick with it~~)
4. i’m just trying to fill up some blog space so u’ll keep reading and i can keep reminding you to go save Toby

oh well. so what do u think? which is better, single or in a relationship?
