yesterdae AT LEAST eight people's away message read: out

i was not amused -_-

my brother likes to play monopoly by himself.

sometimes i wish i were a boy so that i could be a big brother to him. he must be lonesome....stuck with five girls in the family. -_- poor abraham. it would be horrible if i were stuck in a family full of boys. i would suffocate. *_*

adhasijdsiajd. i can't ever hear it when my cell phone rings. -_-

someone almost always has to tell me that my cell phone is ringing.

i'm sad, blog. i have hearing problems. i had to take the hearing test that i took in eighth grade twice. and i didn't pass...while everyone did.

i remember hearing people say: omg! she's deaf! -_-

i can't hear high frequency sounds..like really HIGH sounds.

but i can hear people scream. please don't try screaming in my ear. -_- angela already did that.

but cell phone tones are high. so i usually don't hear my cell phone ring...unless it's right next to me in my hand. it's on level five. the highest ringing volume. -_- it gives me a "warning" too: very loud ringing

my mother says that it affects my language too. -_- so my language is supposedly worser than my math.

i was getting better but i'm getting sick again @_@

it's so weird...getting sick in the summer.

oh well. probably i won't get sick in the winter..

i like cutting watermelon.

I got a paper cut todae. -_- i got it from a paper sticking out of my daddy's Bible. it's right between my nail and skin so it hurts badly. ._. want to kiss my finger and tell me that it's okae?

i was stuck at home doing homework when the sun was shining... ._. i wanted to go outside to play but i had to stay in the house and finish my summer reading homework. my mommy said that i had to. i felt like i was being punished. *_*

good news: i haven't been procrastinating :)

went with christina to school for business day yesterdae to accompany her..i remember steph accompanying me at business day. i felt secure because she was there wtih me...she knew all about high school and i was just a stupid freshmen who didn't knoe what was going on.. >_<

..i guess later on christina will accompany angela, angela will accompany abraham then and abraham will accompany marianna when they all become freshmen in high school. but that will much later on.

abraham kicked me in the stomach todae when we were swimming. i almost died -_-

went to sleepover at jessicawa..and joe's house yesterdae...which was kinda weird because it was so unexpected...the last time i slept over was two years ago. i missed the house.

joe came alllllll the way from chino hills to pick me up..and i don't think he was too happy about it. but i think he got over it.

he said he felt like a stranger when he was supposed to feel like family because he stood outside for two minutes--not twenty after he rang the doorbell.

then when he went into my house, he said he felt unwelcome because no one was there to greet him. because no one noticed he came.

then my daddy had a family prayer before we left because i was leaving for the nite. joe made fun of this "tradition" @_@

after we left joe told me that he was scared of my parents..after he's known them for practically his whole life. -_-

we were on azusa ave. when i realized that i forgot the chinese soap opera at home but because he didn't want to waste any more gas, he wouldn't drive back to my house.

i wanted to break his car window.

but i didn't.

met andrew yesterdae..they call him tye. but he looks like an "andrew"

...i guess it's because he is one.

i don't remember exactly how he looks like but i DO remember that he's tall...way taller than i am.

i want to grow. ._.

me, jessicawa and joe baked a cake. but joe messed it up *_*

i lost a thousand braincells yesterdae ._.

Joe made me and andrew [tye] wash his mom’s car because he didn't want to do it by himself. -_- but it's all shiny now.

Joe and jordan told me to grow up yesterdae -_-

me, jessicawa, jordan, and joe went grocery shopping for eggs and we had to buy the cheapest ones because we only had two dollars. @_@

we talked about childhood memories..seems like i’m the only one who remembers them. joe and jessicawa always say: i don’t remember when that happened -_-

there was a korean prayer meeting at 5 am in anaheim and i was supposed to go. and jonathan was supposed to pick me up from jessica/joe's house. so at 4:30 i was waiting..waiting and i waited 'til 5..but i guess jonathan didn't wake up..so i went to sleep. -_-

Joe and jordan told me to grow up yesterdae ._.

Changes can take place even if you've only been gone for one night -_-

We have all these signs posted up in the house written by steph like:
-Did you read one chapter of Bible yet?
-Did you make your bed? Good morning!
-After you take a shower, put your clothes in the garage
-is the living room clean? if yes, then good! if no, clean it up!

and big one that has the house rules written on it.

steph is kicking me off the computer because she has work to do.

Uncle [dennis] asked me to go camping with him and some other people. wow. he actually invited me this time. @_@

ahhhhhhh. my worst nightmare come true. all my blog stuff got deleted ._. ;aosidjasidjiasjdsaidj

oh well. jerry's did too! we are like twins! yes! another twin. ahahahahah

business day is so horrible. -_- i spent three and a half hours at school...waiting..waiting....waiting.... and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting.......... in the hot sun. @_@

i think i might have even gotten skin cancer. ._.

it felt kind of weird seeing all these school people again in school...even though i've seen some of them over the summer.

i almost didn't recognize anyone at school because i was so dazed. i stared at everyone in the face for three seconds then said 'hi' like a dummy. i felt really stupid. *_*

i forgot that the first thing to do at business day was to get a ticket. so i was standing in line for about ten minutes when jessica kao asks me what my ticket number was.

thus i was the three hundred and twentieth person to stand in line with an orange ticket that read: 0711320. while everyone else around me in line was two hundred something. -_-

it took five minutes to take my yearbook picture because the photographer kept posing me. i was so exasperated. >_< it's just a yearbook picture for school. @_@

after forty-five minutes of waiting and talking in line i got restless.

so i decided to go play hide-and-go-seek with fred--my invisible and imaginary friend...except i couldn't find him.. ._.

i brought six big fat books home with me todae. yes! i have six new best friends.............that will last for a year. -_-

yay! i have no zero period this year. :) no more waking up at six.

1 english III ap-morales
2 us history ap-levno
3 physics ap-fessenden
4 chinese 3h-wong
5 precalc h-meyer
6 cross country-dobrenen

they should have ap crosscountry..that would be so koolio. :)

my right eye keeps twitching. it kept twitching yesterdae too. darin says that if someone's eye is twitching, that means they're guilty of something....but i'm not. -_-

uncle [dennis] and jonathan went fishing todae. but he didn't ask me to go. i'm so sad...and he's making up all these excuses >_<

haha but he and jonathan brought back fish for us.. but now my house smells like fish -_-

my best friend tells me that i have to grow up. ._.

FOBBIjoe: i think you need to grow up..
FOBBIjoe: get out of that shell..
FOBBIjoe: ...... evangeline act your age..

how many times do i have to say it: i don't want to grow up!

but i'm a junior now....so old..help me guys -_-

my mommy says that if anyone comes to paint our house she'll pay them seven dollars an hour.

uncle got asked to be a groomsman in two weddings. i'm so proud of you, uncle. but careful..you knoe the saying "three times a groomsman, never a groom"

chrisl says that bathroom stall #3 in church is my office. -_- just watch chrisl.....i'm going to get a REAL office before you get one. >_<

joe always tells me what to do...because he thinks i'm his secretary. -_- we'll have to see about that.

still suffering from jet lag. -_-

woke up at 4 this morning. then half an hour later i get a bad bloody nose that lasted for like ten minutes -_- i was so stressed. i thought i was dying.

ever since i came back from hong kong, i've gotten five bloody noses. what fun @_@

jonathan said 'koolio' todae! :)

i am a girl.

i finally got to eat a banana! ^_^

wow. we actually got home safely. no need to worry about a will now. >_<

it was weird. coming out of the airport..it was actually NOT humid.

away was i from all the sticky humid air..honking cars..subways..

no more cramped streets.. crowded sidewalks.. one-way roads..

no more street markets..bargains.. twenty-five story buildings..

i miss hong kong -_-

stupid jetlag. i was so tired the whole day..but we had to clean up the whole house...because we made a mess with everything we brought back. left with two luggages and came back with six..not counting carry-ons.

there were spiders in the little corners of the wall because they thought that they'll get the house to themselves.. just because we were gone for two weeks ._.

all i did todae was clean up..did the laundry, vacummed..and washed the bathrooms. what fun -_-

but i must admit that i did miss home.

it was so hot in hong kong..i don't understand how i came down with a cold -_-

;asiodjsaidjasijdasidasidjasidjasid.....school's starting soon.. ._.

back to the normal routine of waking up early and sleeping late

...back to staying up all nite studying

...back to the nites of endless homework

...back to listening to teachers drone on..

..back to being tired all the time...

..back to being so stressed out that you want to cry..

and jump out of the window in steph's dorm...

..back to wishing that you could just be a little kid again...feeling carefree and sing 'hakuna matata'

BUT...there's still about a week left.

but only ONE week -_-

tye says that i have to enjoy these 'last' days...and savor them before school starts again.

thanx for reminding me tye. :)

but i still feel sad. stupid school.

maybe i should just go back to homeschool and then everything would be so perfect.

oh well. i'll just force myself not to think about it.

the Bible i used for cell group todae matched my shirt. it was green. :)

but debbuah and christina laughed at me -_-

jordan called todae to say hi. :) i was surprised..i thought he forgot about me..but he didn't. i told him that..and he said he wanted to sock my face -_- what a nice thing to say.

but he said he missed us..'the kwans.' yes. it does feels nice to be missed :)

happy birthday drew :) you are now sixteen years old.. very old...so old that you could start driving now. -_-

i learned a new word todae: vacillate :) it means to change one's mind, opinions, or course of action and then change back again. hesitation. inability to choose.

that describes me ._. but my parents say that i can't be like that anymore or else i'll end up in deep caca. -_-

jordan thinks spongebob is really ugly -_-

and he tried to mimick his laugh.. except he sounded like squidwart. @_@

"ignorance is bliss" ...mike gave me that quote...and everyone has that quote on their profile for some reason. >_<

...if girls are called chicks, then what are guys called? -_- it's so weird. i thought about this like almost two years ago..when i was talking to mike on the phone.

but it just came back to me. ._. guys aren't supposed to be called roosters because then girls would be called hens. -_-

oh well. stupid things like this always come to my mind. *_*

aww look guys! jonathan misses us! :)

1:53 am - Meet The Kwans
It was once said, "You’ll never know what you had until you lose it." I think this phrase is so true about the Kwan's... By far the tightest family I’ve ever known... Each one of them special in their own way... Each one them blessing me so much so that at times I’ve totally taken them for granted... And now that they're in Hong Kong I realize how crucial they are to my weekly sanity...

About two Sundays ago the Kwans Invite Dennis and I to Palm Springs with them for a mini-vacation... From the start of the trip I began to realize so much about how much God was blessing me through the Kwans. On the car ride there I took Evangeline and Abe with me... We had to stop for some gas and Evan and Abe were thirsty for something so I walked in the store with Evan and I bought them water... (I would have bought them sodas but Evan gave me a lecture about how sodas are bad for you)... So Evan and I walk to the counter and the lady says 3.70 (or something like that)... I could tell Evangeline wanted to pay for it but I wouldn't let her so I paid... And then she offered money back to me but I wouldn't take it... she gave me a puzzled looked and asked me why I paid.. I told her I like taking care of her and Abe... I thought it was so much of a blessing to be able to give back to them...

Well we get there and we hang out... It was really touching to see their family outside of church.. At times I couldn't understand how Pk and Mrs. Kwan kept their sanity but when I looked at the joy in their face when their kids were around them I really envied them... Many parents say they love their kids but Pk and Mrs. Kwan take it one step further, they show their kids the kind of love that can only come from God.. The type of love that always hopes, always rejoices, always accepts... AGAPE love... I've always wonder how the Kwans can love other so much and I think I finally have a grip at what it is... Their love for each other is poured our over and over and over again unto each other that it overflows into others lives... I mean I see it so often in each on of their lives... Their lives are charactered, laced, and soaked in love.. Each one of them..

Pastor Kenneth Kwan.. My pastor... My Friend... My Spiritual Father... My mentor... My leader... I think from my childhood Pk has always been there for me... He always saw something special in me. When many adults just excused me as a small child he treated me with this respect. He's always there trying to teach me and guide me.. He doesn't only treat me like a co-worker by as a son and I am truly blessed... He's a man of integrity, honor, love, passion, and many more.. He is truly the real-deal. I can only hope to be half the Father he is...

Mrs. Kwan..LoL.. My Spiritual mom... By far the coolest Kwan (well her maiden name is CHAN, so that explains a lot)... She's always so compassionate and caring.. I see it, a lot times she will go out of her way, even neglect her kids at times to take care of me.. She's a woman to be praise... Honestly... I truly love her.. When ever I talk to her, she's never really listening to the words that come out of my mouth but the phrases that are expressed deep within my heart... She knows me better than I know myself... Not only that she's an awesome mother and wife.. She doesn't let her words to the talking she lets her prayers.. Her prayers shake the heavens.. And yet she is still very humble about it.. PK is a lucky guy.. Especially if a guy who's half his age thinks that his wife is the perfect wife..

Then there's stef.. My stef.. The angel who has no wings.... yet...I like to refer to her as the drama Kwan... If she were a smurf she would be drama smurf.. I said it before and I’ll say it again.."Once my greatest source of joy and my greatest source of pain." Haha.. Well there's a lot to say about stef and her personality... 1. It's really really bright.. I think a lot of people would agree with me about how caring of a person she is but that's not what I like the most about her... She's a dreamer... she dream dreams that many people will never and she not only dream these dreams she'll live her life to see that dream come to pass.. I think back and I remember the first time she told me about her Hilton orphanage... The first time she told me I laughed.. But after the 100000th time i became really really inspired by her.. She dreams big dreams.. Also every time I see her I look at her and I see the hand of God... it's like the book of Esther... Not once does it mention God, but when you read it you can tell God has his Hand throughout it.. A lot of times she doesn't realize it or even recognize it but when I see her life I see the life of someone who's gonna be great.. And that gives me hope about the Faithfulness of God..

EVANGELINE.. The most Unique of all.. Special is the word I have for her.. She is one of the Kwans that I really really miss rite now... She's so original and special.. I love how God made her, she's so full of love that it just spills out to people around her.. She has such a passion for people that at times it shames me. She says she never wants to get married and I would have to agree with her because no guy will ever be good enough for her because she so awesome.. Whenever I picture a little sister I picture hung.. I hate when she calls me her brother in law but when she calls me her brother my heart warms up.. She’s my HOME BOY!!!.. LoL..She's so thoughtful and caring.. Some how she finds a way to always brighten my day...

Christina.. HA!!! So cute... She has a smile that can melt anyone’s heart... I can already see it.. All the guys are gonna go for her and fall for her.. Because she has something rare.. Beauty that's inside and out.. What I love so much about her is that fact that she'll talk to me as her friend.. She considers me one of her good friends.. WOW.. *touched*.. She has this real-ness about her.. When she doesn't understand something she won't pretend to know she'll seek out an answer.. She always makes me feel like I’m a better person..

Angela.. The tom boys to beat all tom boys.. She is really really shy around guys but I know she's gonna have a lot of close guy friends.. It's almost unavoidable.. She’s a Kwan.. Lol.. Now Angela like Evangeline has this specialness about her.. When I look at her I see a strong woman in the making... I can't wait for the day when God puts a burning fire in her heart because on that day she'll flip the world for Christ... She's a time bomb waiting to happen..

Abe.. My recruit... I'm training him to be a man.. Not just any man but a Godly man... I really really love Abe.. He’s going to be such a lady killer.. He's so smart and he treats his sisters like queens.. Man.. When he hits the youth group I know I’m going to have problems keeping the girls away from him.. He reminds me of King David when he was little.. Royalty waiting to bloom... GOD has such a calling on his life.. I think he might even become the president of the United States.. Or at least of a big company..

Finally last but not least... Ms. Mary.. She hates it when I call her that... but I think from the day she was born me and her had a special bond.. She's getting so big now it's so scary.. She always reminds me how simple the life a child is.. How carefree they are.. When I have a daughter I want her to be like Mary.. HA.. Mary has this attitude that won't put up with nonsense.. Exactly like my grandma.. She has a lot of Spunk.. It's a good thing.. I love her because she doesn't view me as some old guy but as one of her friends.. FAVORITE FRIENDS!!!!... Ha-ha..

These are the Kwan.. All awesome as they are.. God couldn't have made a better family.. When I have a family I want a family like the Kwans... except their last names wouldn't be Kwan but Chan.. I am proud to say I miss the Kwans...

end of his blog

we miss you too jonathan! *_* we love you! :)

marianna knoes how to play big 2.. and she's only five.

i learned when i was in eighth grade when joe and wilbur taught me how to play..at the vineyard conference :)

..she knoes how to cheat too. when she shuffles, she puts all the twos in her pile. aiyah. -_-

my aunt got mad at us because we spoke english in the car. she threatened to spank us if we didn't speak cantonese because we're in "cantonese land" and only cantonese is to be heard. -_-

when she was in america, all she spoke was cantonese... o_o

the license plates here are yellow :) and they have two letters on the top then 4 numbers on the bottom.

i couldn't find one that had my initials on it... the closest thing was: EV 8553.. on a big blue trash truck ._.

abraham is going to grow up someday so me and steph decided to teach him how to be the perfect boy.

me and steph are going to teach him to:

2) always be considerate and on the alert for comfort of his girlfriend
3) always keep his word, even if it kills him
4) always mean what he says

9) be a one woman man
10) buy her lots of things
11) be good and respectful to her parents
12) be thoughtful of her feelings
13) be nice to her friends
14) be patient with her when she's getting ready
15) be patient with her when she's late
16) spoil her shamelessly
17) adore her but keep his manhood
18) call if he's going to be late
19) leave her notes and messages
20) send her roses just cuz
21) tell her she's special and beautiful and that he loves her everyday
22) never say anything to make her jealous intentionally
23) make her feel safe, protected and secure
24) be gentle with her
25) never yell at her, never curse at her
26) not ever hit her or hurt her physically
27) to treat her with utmost respect
28) laugh at her jokes
29) make her laugh
30) obey her every fancy and whim but keep his sanity
31) not to say mean things to her
32) accept her flaws
33) be true to her, even when he's alone

I WANT TO EAT A BANANA! -_-

posted by ehkl. 11:48 PM

the malls in hong kong are so much nicer than the malls back home. all the malls are at least 6 stories high. and the escalators crisscross each other so it looks so koolio. i'm very fascinated :)

all the stores are so bright and appealing.

and if you're on the first floor, you could look up and see six to seven stories up in layers. very breath-taking.

there's enormous flowerpots full of dirt and flowers and waterfalls..and round bushes :)

mirror poles, lights, glass windows..

why can't our malls be like that -_-

mcdonalds here is better here too! they have so much variety. they even have rice. and have their own ice-cream thing like thirfty's..or i should say rite aid. they even have mixed up flavors like cappuccino swirls..grape..i forgot... and root beer floats..or other kinds of floats. and they have a mCcafe too. and the mcdonalds are really big and pretty.

i should open a hong kong mcdonalds back in LA. then i'll be RICH! :)

i saw a bunch of fishing poles todae. it made me think of uncle [dennis] and how much he likes to fish.

i'm going to go on a fishing trip someday that lasts for three days.

the sunday before i left for hong kong timmy [electric] asked me if i wanted to join his band. :) wow. i feel so honored. i don't knoe. i think it's so koolio!... and weird. haha i feel excited. but what if i don't meet up their standards..and they kick me out..i'll feel so rejected.. ._.

oh well. oh yea..he said that jordan was asked too. :)

time to watch chinese soap opera now... ^_^

posted by ehkl. 10:30 PM

i almost forgot you blog. -_-

sorrie-ah. i knoe it's not nice. i'll try not to forget you.

actually..i won't ever forget you. i promise :)

asldaijsd..i'm so FULL! my grandma kept making me eat so much. -_-

steph and christina and my daddy are eating at my other grandma's house. they're not here to help me eat some food..but i'm not there to help them eat food. that makes us equal. hah! ^_^

so it's only me and my mommy, marianna, angela, and abraham eating at this grandma's house.

now my mommy's evangelizing to my grandma. i hope she becomes christian..and my other grandma too. she has lung cancer..due to the reason that she smoked ever since she was sixteen. so don't smoke guys! -_- ..so the main reason we're in hong kong is to visit her.

i wish i spoke better cantonese. -_- then i could have better communication with my grandma and everyone else. it's like a disgrace..i could understand it..but speak a little -_- i can't even bargain.

life in the streets of hong kong amuses me ^_^

everyone's always in a hurry to get somewhere...if you walk too slow, they either push you out of the way or yell at you--in your ear too.

countless tents with people selling cheap stuff inside stand lined up in the middle of the road..which attracts crowds of people to buy things..so if cars try to drive through, they're stupid.

random drops of water from the roofs drip down on me when i walk.
it's so nasty. i bet fourty-seven percent of it is sewer water *_*

there's these people who just stand on the sidewalks and pass out flyers..and some even chase you until you take one.

like yesterdae there was this man who chased after my daddy for like five minutes. it was so scary. he even went up the escalator with us. ._.

but to make them feel good, i accept a flyer from them. so i always end up with stacks of paper in my hand every time i walk in the streets. -_-

steph "lectured" me about taking the flyers and said that i was deceiving them because i can't even read what it says. but of course, i proved her wrong..because i was able to read at least seven words. :) i am very proud of myself.

anyhow, there's just always so much going on in the streets of hong kong.

it's funny how reuben and spencer, gabey and us went to hong kong at the same time. ^_^

we met up a couple of times with them..to go shopping in the same place called mong kok -_- because gabey insisted to.

stupid gabey -_- he made alla us wait the whole day for him on monday all because he forgot to call reuben. so we all dragged ourselves to mong kok to go shopping there in case gabey might be there so we could "bump into him"

we ended up not seeing him that day.

and THEN on tuesday, we waited four hours for him in our hotel...because he forgot to call reuben AGAIN...because he lost track of time. -_- so me, reuben, spencer, steph, and christina walked all the way to his hotel and sat in the lobby doing nothing -_- and the bellhop came and yelled at christina for putting her feet on the chair and afterwards he kept 'watching' us. then after forty-five minutes we decide to leave. and right when we were walking out the door he comes in. -_- it was 12 AM.

we all yelled at him for like ten minutes because we were so exasperated. to "make up" for it he treated us to mcdonalds.

but we were still kinda exasperated.

gabey left yesterdae evening to go back to LA. then on the 17th he's going to move into berkeley. church will seem a LITTLE different without him. oh well. at least we won't have to wait for him anymore. -_-

reuben and spencer are in china rite now.

all the phone numbers in hong kong have eight digits :) whereas we only have seven.

last sunday we went to a church called st. andrews church. and they had wine...for communion. it tasted GROSS! only me and abraham and my daddy went up to get communion because we were sitting in my daddy's row and he made us go up.

for communion, i took a piece of bread and then dipped it in the cup of wine..which i thought was grape juice because at church back home, we have grape juice for communion..so i thought it would be grape juice too. but it was wine and it was so nasty and i just had to make a face >_< i'll be sure never to drink when i grow up..

i wasn't planning to anyway

i noticed that every time steph talks to darin on the phone, she starts talking like him! -_- in a rhythmatic beat like this: DAskajdksdksadksadDA aksdsakdksadksdjDA kasdksdjksd

the shortest verse in the Bible is John 11:35 "Jesus wept."

todae in the morning, abraham farted so loud when he was sleeping -_-

the subway station that we get off is called jordan station. :)

"if i were a girl, i would like me." –abraham

yayayay! i survived the airplane ride to hong kong. we didnt crash or die or anything! :)

so i get to see you again blog. i told you i'll see you again in hong kong ^_^

but the plane occasionally shook with turbulence..i thought we might have hit a cloud or something. -_-

another time, i thought we landed so i woke up steph..and said: hurry! wake up! we landed.

but we didnt..and i think she kind of got mad at me because she woke up for nothing.

my computer/tv screen got frozen twice -_- steph tried to fix it but it didn't listen. we called the plane lady and i think she forgot about us because nothing happened. so we called another airplane lady and she fixed it. :)

a while later, steph's computer got frozen too. then mine got frozen again.

stupid computers -_- i was so exasperated.

oh well. at least we got here safely.......around 5:30 am hong kong time..2:30 pm LA time.

oh yea..my baptism birthday was yesterdae, august 6. it's sarah's too. :) happy baptism birthday sarah! we are now 7 years old! ^_^

because steph took so long blogging...i have to stop now -_- i'll write more next time. sorrie blog.

wow. no one is on the computer now. -_- steph was on it the whole time we got back from palm springs. i guess she missed her blog...but i miss mine too. >_<

we’re supposed to be driving to the airport now for hong kong..but half of my family is gone from the house. my mommy went to costco to buy presents. and steph and stina went to barnes and nobles to buy a book for themselves to read on the plane..and to buy me one of my summer reading books that i lost last week. ._.

i hate losing things. -_- it makes me feel like part of me is gone..and i have to go find it.

i remember losing my commitment ring that my mommy brought me. i kept looking for it. and i even cried because it was so important to me. ._. i had it for three years so when i lost my ring, my finger felt naked o_o

but i did find it two weeks later. :)

then i lost it again..forever. -_- oh well.

happy birthday hiroshima!...for the fifth time. :) good luck on your driving test on wednesday.

palm springs was fun. :) someone anonymously paid for my family to stay at a resort there for a week. it was really really nice.

we had our own “house” with three TVs, glass tables, a balcony, and whirlpool spas. and a lamp that uncle [dennis] broke. but we kept it as a secret so he wont get in trouble by my parents.

jonathan, uncle [dennis] and darin went to palm springs with us. darin went home but jonathan and uncle slept over.

i think we should have our retreat there. :)

jonathan drove me and abraham to palm springs after the baptism. but first he brought us to his work place to get his paycheck. he works at savon-drugs!..i thought he worked....somewhere else.

then he went to a bank machine to deposit his paycheck. and withdrew eighty dollars. then the machine spit out money!! it was so koolio :) i wish i had one in my house.

we stopped at the gas station to get gas and he brought me and abraham a water bottle because i was thirsty. i felt bad because he paid for us. but he said that he likes to take care of us :) because my parents take care of him. but he said also because he loves us. ^_^ he’s our big brother. [not in law ._.]

it was fun riding in jonathan’s car. we talked about a lot of things—people, church, the future..and marriage. :) but then i fell asleep in the car for about half an hour. jonathan said he was asking me something but i didn’t respond because i was sleeping. -_- i don’t like falling asleep on people when they’re talking. because i dont like it when people do that to me.

todae i woke up and i was sunburned for no reason. -_-

oh well. the sun likes me ^_^

jonathan didn’t say bye to us this morning..because we were still sleeping when he left. he left at 8 something. but he left us a note. and this is what he wrote:

Kwans,

Thank you so much for your kindness and for welcoming me into your family. I’m honored to have such an awesome pastor and family. You guys are the best. Sorry I couldn’t say goodbye to all of you. Have fun in Hong Kong. Stay safe. I love you all. God bless you.
Jonathan Chan

*bye jonathan. i love you too!

uncle has a high voice :D yesterdae when he was really surprised, he said “what?!” in a really high voice. haha. if i didnt knoe he was a guy, i would probably have mistaken him as a girl. hehe.

on the way back home todae i talked with uncle about almost everything . it was very interesting...

i never realized it but uncle is one of my best friends. :)

for august 6
happy birthday BOO [jessica kao]!! sorrie i have to miss your birthday. i love you!
-scout

we’re leaving in 10 minutes..our ride came.

bye everyone. -_- sorrie.. i forgot to write up my will. everytime we go on the airplane, we always make a will...because you knoe, we might crash or die or something. :) oh well. i guess you guys will all have to pray that the kwans will be home safe. :)

i love you guys. i’ll miss you all sooo much. be good and take care of yourselves.

bye bye blog. dont worry. i'll miss you too. but i might see you in hong kong.

hong kong—here we come!

I AM SO SAD! ahhhhhhh my blog stuff got deleted from here on.

my sister turned off the light switch and it has power -_-

it was connected to the cable box.

then the computer froze

i got kicked off.

then everything was erased. EVERYTHING.

a;sodjaosdkasokdoaskdosakdosakd

and all mike says about it is: lol

so much for sympathy -_-

ahahaha mike has a blog too. :) i think that’s funny.

wow. everyone’s doing a blog now.

no wonder joe doesnt want to do one. he said he wants to go against the trend of having a blog. -_- he probably thinks he’s too good to have a blog.

our house has no food. negative food. -_- if you look in both of our freezers, there is nothing. and our refrigerator is so empty ._.

my mommy says that all the food will spoil by the time we get back from hong kong.

so there’s practically nothing to eat except for emergency canned foods. -_-

i like that very much ._.

it’s so weird. people that i havent talked to for so long are starting to talk to me todae. i just realized how much i missed them.

wow.. i’m leaving on sherman’s birthday and then coming back on drew’s birthday. ehehe that’s so koolio. about the birthday thing. *sorrie hiroshima.

a wave of nostalgia just came over me. -_-

just thinking of people..stuff...the past.. everything makes me feel asdiajsidajsd ._.

wow. jerry actually relates to me. :) he says that he feels like that a lot. yay! another twin. ^_^

look guys! mike joined joe in the commitment thing til 18

m i C o h O e: nah, i think i'm in the "18-club"..with joe

wow. we must be proud of mike.

steph and chrisl just came back from the dinner thing for steph’s birthday. they were all dressed up beautifully.

and they asked me to take a picture for them. because i’m a professional photographer :) just kidding. but i did take photo class for summer school.

a;osidjasidj the camera wouldn’t listen to me so it took like two minutes to take two pictures. -_-

jonathan thinks it's funny that i have a blog >_<

vaNiLLa cHiNk: cuz...im scared...of u driving...no offense...

what is so scary about me driving? -_- no one will let me drive their car. got rejected! o_o i should just start driving the humongo van and ram everyone down.

:) just kidding. that would be horrible. but at least i would be in the newspapers. ^_^

SAtoHsHiMei: ehehehe am i exasperating you
integ2k2: yes
integ2k2: because i dont know that word

...and he got into berkeley! >_<

steph thinks that if gabey got into berkeley, then i could too. so much pressure -_-

ack! i forgot to finish packing in my little red 'puddin' suitcase. off to palm springs tommoroe.

correction: chrisl doesnt think i'm a stupid little girl :)

:@) <~ look at mike's new happy face. he says that it's a pig. :) haha

bryan sung told me that he got a heat stroke. poor bryan. ._.

A zNrICE 8OY: i'm your brother
A zNrICE 8OY: law

i tried to work on my summer reading hw because i wont have time to work on it when i come back from hong kong. -_- but it didnt work.. i'm not used to doing homework ahead of time.

it is SO HOT! i must go swimming now. with my siblings. we're going to play mr. shark and monster.

of course i always have to be the monster. -_-

but that's okae.

i missed my blog ._.

i’ve neglected it for A WEEK. -_- i might as well not have a blog at all.

but i must. encourage me guys!

o_o <- look! that’s a new face i learned :) but >_< <-this one will always be the bestest.

i just finished doing the laundry.
i usually like doing it. but todae i knocked down all the underwear and socks and they inevitably fell the floor. somehow i didn’t see the rope and my head clashed into it.

argh. -_- now my whole family will have to wear dirty socks and underwear.

oh well. we’ll suffer it together.

on friday, there was a scavenger hunt for all the cell groups at puente hills malls but the diamond bar group refused to hang out with us because they’re too good for us ._. i felt rejected.

half the walnut group came though. walnut group rocks!

but the hacienda heights group is the bestest :) i love you guys.

anyhow, we met up in front of the amc box and divided into groups. jonathan didn’t play though. he thought it wouldn’t be fair if he did. so he brought himself a smoothie from orange julius and sat all by himself. -_-

me, christina [my sister], christina hsu, mimi, and carrie were in the same group. my group is so koolio. and yes, we ended up winning. ^_^

later on, jonathan asked us what we learned.

i learned that i shouldn’t judge people by their outside appearances.

i tend to do that... that’s why i’m so scared to say hi to some people. ._.

when i meet new people i get all nervous because i’m afraid of them—afraid that they’ll look down on me and think that i’m some stupid little girl.

oh well. a lot of people including chrisl think i’m a stupid little girl anyway >_<

i think i got sick ._. my voice sounds raspy and my nose is stuffed. and i have to cough. a;osidjaisdjasidj oh well. it’s not everyday that i get to be sick.

yesterday was steph’s birthday. wow. nineteen years old. my sister is all grown up now!

i remember the time when she was born—nineteen years ago, my parents were so excited because she was their first child. she was so small and was sooo cute! they were so proud of her as she was growing up...

but alas, she is now nineteen years old—the last year being a teenager. my my my, time sure flies.

._. i’m so sad. she’s going to leave us soon—to live on her own and get married and all those adult things. one less kwan. *sob* i’m going to miss her so much.

and when she goes back to college, i hope she’ll come back every other week like last year.

my friend said that he had a cousin who came back home from college every week freshmen year. and sophomore year every month. and junior year, only came back on holidays. and i bet senior year the cousin never went home.

ahhhhhhh. i hope steph doesnt do that. -_-

*annoucement: evangeline will be driving SOON.

i knoe. i’ll drive to pick up steph from sd every other week. yes. that is what i will do.

we got cable. :) now we could go online without complaints from other people about us not picking up the phone.

and the computer is so fast :) wow. so amazing.

._. i feel bad because the ‘happy birthday steph’ on my blog is late.... but i was the first person to say happy birthday to her—IN PERSON. haha. beat you chrisl!

here, i freestyled for you steph ..even if it’s not real freestyling. i forgot what it is. >_<

happy birthday ching ching
i knoe you’re not a king
but we all love you
because you’re not a fu.
you’re a kwan
but you’re soon to be gone
don’t worry, you still have a lot of fans
but that’s if you don’t become a chan
thanks steph for being a koolio sister
we love you—from the kwansters :)

ack. us kwans are leaving for palm springs tommoroe and we’ll stay there til saturday then come back for church then go back there.
then we’re leaving for hong kong on monday. -_- so hectic.

wilso, kevin and renee are getting baptized this sunday :) i’m so proud of them.

anyhow, time to pack. i’ll miss you guys. -_-
