  • Saw a guy walking around chinatown in NYC with an open umbrella. Must have been preparing early, because it started raining 5 hours later. #
  • There’s a new intern who’s staying for the summer (son of a coworker). Finally I’m not the youngest one in the office anymore. #
  • So very sad that the candy bowl hasn’t been filled for over a month now. #
  • Eating some fresh pineapple slices to get rid of the aftertaste from these horrible-tasting kettle-style potato chips I found at work. >_< #
  • Jackie Chan Hates Karate Kids http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85WNaVTXVaI #
  • Kirby looks so cute in his new game, “Kirby’s Epic Yarn”. Becoming a must-buy for the Wii. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqcvM_MiREo #
  • Vuvuzelas officially banned at Yankee Stadium! http://blogs.wsj.com/metropolis/2010/06/17/yankees-ban-vuvuzelas/ #
  • Quite disappointed that Team USA was ripped off by Malian referee Koman Coulibaly. No foul, no offisides. At least they’re still alive. #
  • Have to pull a stick of DDR2 RAM from my computer to help revive my dad’s computer. Hopefully in doing so, I won’t kill both of them. #
  • Turns out that the video card on the computer died. Good thing I had an old 7900GT lying around. Back up and running! (and happy parents) #
  • Just watched G.I. Joe on DVD. Terrible script and corny jokes, but the fight scenes between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were pretty good. #
  • Finished watching “Invictus” starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. Excellent movie and the best I’ve seen this year since “Up!”. #

  • Dragon Boat Race Day! Wish me luck! http://paddleforpink.org/ #
  • Muscles are getting stiff, but dragon boat racing this morning was lots of fun. (I blame the “pro” steerer for not getting first place) #
  • Wanted the to eat the espresso chip ice cream, but had to finish up the cherry vanilla instead. #
  • Just found out that you can use custom pictures (or photos from picasa) on the Google homepage now (lower left corner). #
  • Getting a huge bruise on my left knee by hitting it while playing tennis is not good. Limped around for another hour until it got dark. #
  • Finished watching the Jackie Chan film “The Spy Next Door”…not one of his best movies. Hearing them call him “Bob Ho” was just strange. #
  • Finally eating the Espresso Chip ice cream…and with fresh blueberries this time. #
  • For the next month, there’s no more CNBC 24/7 around here. Everyone is watching World Cup “football” now. #
  • Laffy Taffy Joke of the Day: How do you get a free light bulb? Catch a Lightening Bug. #
  • Waking up early to go to Tai Chi practice with my dad…and to see a little South Korea vs. Greece World Cup action. #
  • GOOOOOOOOOAL Lee Jung-Soo of S.Korea! Then a Korean guy got the ball kicked in his face by his own teammate. #
  • Got to Tai Chi practice late, so I missed the 24-form style. Ended up going running, then got a bubble tea and French vanilla cappuccino. #
  • Never really disliked any musical instrument before, but after 2 days of the World Cup I’m putting the Vuvuzela at the bottom of my list. #

  • Just saw the clip of William Hung singing “Pants on the Ground” on American Idol…so awkward and uncomfortable. http://goo.gl/iXRK #
  • Rack up another national championship for Maryland! Congrats UMD women’s lacrosse team! http://goo.gl/S33n #
  • Happy Memorial Day! …time to go shopping (again)! #
  • Decided that now the new computer is almost complete, I’ll focus in on something more important…quality cooking equipment. ^_^ #
  • This Dell 24 inch monitor is massive, imagine if I went for the 30 incher… #
  • Internal body clock still thinks it’s a Wednesday today. #
  • Happy National Doughnut Day! …and Krispy Kreme is giving them away for free! http://easyuri.com/b30d4 (too bad the closest one is in NYC) #
  • got stung by a wasp while playing tennis #
  • Just finished watching the movie Ong Bak 2. Decent fight scenes, had nothing to do with the original, and still confusing by the end. #

  • It’s my parents’ anniversary today so I went back to B&N for a couple more frappuccinos (Caffe Vanilla and Soy Strawberries & Creme). ^_^ #
  • Excited that Rock Band 3 is apparently getting the keyboard as the next instrument. Finally something familiar…or at least used to be. #
  • Just picked up a Dell U2410 monitor on sale (still expensive :x)! #
  • Can’t believe how much stuff I’m packing for a 5-day vacation…camera, laptop, nintendo DS, tennis racquet, iPod, food…and probably more. #
  • Saw all of two minutes of American Idol this year, the reveal of the winner. Have to say the winner was not impressive. #
  • Overheard from the guy at Costco giving out Chex Mix samples: “They’re the 4th wonder of the world for the 5th millenium.” #
  • Something is a little wrong when I wake up at 6, shower, eat breakfast, then go back to sleep at 9…must be vacation mode kicking in. #
  • Exciting vacation activity #1: Installing pendant lights in my brother’s kitchen. #
  • Exciting vacation activity #2: Spending 4 hours at Ikea buying furniture (at least they had free Swedish coffee and breakfast) #

  • Wow! What a win for the Yankees! Take a look at this probability graph of the game. http://bit.ly/b6jmRA *clap clap* #
  • Oops, I just had two cups of hot chocolate. #
  • NJ Nets got ripped off and only got the 3rd pick in the NBA draft. So sad…so very sad. http://bit.ly/d1B02p #
  • I think I’ll be passing by my local B&N to use this coupon… http://easyuri.com/ab2b4 #
  • Yay Blizzard finally sent me a Starcraft II beta key that I’ve been waiting months for…and apparently closes at the end of May. #
  • If you see Pac-Man roaming around, give him a hug (or some fruit) for his 30th birthday…or go to google.com for a cool interactive game. #
  • Energizing for Dragon Boat practice #2 with a sweet topping red bean bun. #
  • Nothing like a few (B1G1) frappuccinos on a hot day. Picked caramel and java chip this time. #
