smile for me. (:

so i promised myself that i'd go to sleep before three am since i haven't been letting my liver rest its rest from eleven pm to two am. (and it's overwhemingly tiring to wake up in the mornings--worser than the school year)

except i had to finish my dueling with wilso, blog. (: (HAH wilso i think i won!! right seong and jordan? heh..and at least i didn't lie about your past)

haha i think he missed me too much this summer. except he's playing mr. in denial and he won't admit it. and he keeps thinking that i miss him.

once again, it's *dun dun dun* asnricegal. i like being idle so i left e is for evange alone. :) now it's like fourteen hours and fifty-eight minutes idle. yay.

A sNrICE GAL: did you miss me?!
tatdatassup: oo i know you miss me

tatdatassup: i think you miss me more than i miss you
tatdatassup: i know you missed me the most out of the summer

tatdatassup: you missed me the most

it's okae, wilso--i knoe you miss me deep deep down inside of your red heart.

tatdatassup: can i make a W for WILSO..?

and he even misses e is for evange so much that he wants to make one for himself. what a boy. heh.

so first thing i wake up i remember i have to HAVE TO call dmv, blog. so i do. except their line is BUSY BUSY BUSY BUSY BUSY!!! *SHRIEK* i loathe dmv with a passion. >_<

but carolyn says to just keep calling them. oh yea blog. i keep forgetting to tell you. carolyna took care of us for like this past week. and last week because she LIKES us!! :) thanks carolyna. i hope you miss us when you're UP there at san diego and not DOWN here with us. and thanks for taking care of us and cooking for us and for spotting us and treating us and chaffuering us and liking us. :) be good and peace out homie c.

so i call dmv again and it goes to a foreign answering machine which doesn't sound very professional-like so i think i dialed the wrong number. -_- and so call again i do and this time the phone keeps ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing..and i sat there fuming with anger. -_- and i was SO EXASPERATED!!

i wish someone would just help me call dmv because they won't pick up my calls. it's like they knoe it's me and automatically don't pick up my calls. *sob* and i really really want to get my driver's license so i could DRIVE and drive and drive and DRIVE. ._.

which reminds me that my father took me driving yesterday night, blog. (: it was SO FUN!! he's the best teacher. he should become a driving instructor. but he has a greater calling in his life.

so we went driving and he chastised because i wasn't driving right. @_@ and i forgot to look for cars and i drove too fast and my turns were not smooth and my parallel parking was horrible so he taught me. :)

and then freeway time and i shuddered. the sixty freeway west (i think) ramp closed = sigh of relief.

no matter, he made me go to the sixty freeway east...and the curve was so long and circly and curvy that i think we almost tipped over. next thing i knew we almost got hit by a enormous white truck. by driving faster helped. and i saved the day! just kidding. my daddy did.

so he sacrificed his busy time to go driving with me; thanks daddy i love you! *hug*

which reminds me that i miss my mother..million of miles away in hong kong--where i want to go at the moment. the house is so different without her here. and marianna too. no one to ask me to read to her and no one to draw me pictures. -_- i miss you guys!! come home soon. xx <--good night kiss, one for mother, one for marianna.

which also reminds me that i miss steph--who's all the way in taiwan. take care of yourself steph. i knoe you miss me so i don't need to ask. :D *hug* and a x <-- good night kiss for every night.

sarai told me that chriseley [chrisl] misses me. (: yay. so i should miss him too. just kidding chriseley, i miss you dearly. thanks for the frozen pizzas, and cookies. abraham ate it all. and thanks for being hero of the day when you slaughtered the ants in our house. -_-

it was so scary, blog. there were so many ants they were like dots everywhere. and it's very unnerving. but chrisl just marched up like a man and massacred those scrawny black ants (unlike the ferocious humongo red ants in arizona) especially the ones in the freezer..there were ants stuck frozen in the freezer trying to get ice cubes.

i disdain ants. but they are very admirable and they have yet one good character: they're hard-working.

-_- but seriously, blog. we live on an ANT HILL. we have ants marching in on us EVERY SINGLE SUMMER. A:SIODJ.

yes so i want to get my license, you should call dmv for me, blog. here's their number: 1-800-777-0133.

i tried one last time at six o'clock pm except they left me talking to a machine man and i had to press one if i wanted 'english' and press two if i wanted to get my driver's license and to press two if i wanted to take the test and it just kept going on and on then it said "please hold while we connect you to an agent" then a machine voice comes on and says "i'm sorrie but please call in office hours" and i was sad.

i was SO CLOSE TO GETTING AN APPOINTMENT. now i don't think i'll get my driver's license on august twenty-eighth. *sob* and most likely after school starts. -_-

what's the point of buying a senior parking permit if i don't have a car and a driver's license. *sob harder* and i'll have my name spray-painted and have my own parking spot...with no car. and i won't be able to drive to school. sorrie mother--i reckon you'll still have to take me and christina to school. @_@

on a brighter note, jordan treat me and christina and mimi and debbuah out to eat for shui yeh--you knoe, late night dinning. but it wasn't late really, it was only nine-thirty or nine twenty-one to be exact.

we had just left the ucc luau--nice presentations. i especially liked lawrence kao/erich/josh's play. and also the video productions were nicely done. makes me want to take video productions next year but i can't or else i'll get EIGHT CLASSES. *shriek*

well so we were supposed to have cell group but it appears that vacationing stole away people and we had five people sitting in mimi's living room: me christina mimi debbuah and jordan. and jordan doesn't belong to hacienda..but he does now. :)

so i ate fourteen grapes and then we decided to go to ucc to check out their luau--and surprised uncle [dennis] out of his socks and saw a lot of school people there..and people i haven't seen for ages there.

but the poor sick jordan got hungry and he "felt like drinking hot and sour soup" and he was the dear driver so we filed out the door during josh ong's video presentation and i wanted to watch but oh well--they all got hungry i suppose.

down
| the
| stairs
| we
| go (heh like ee cummings)

....|-| and out the door.

and we drive to e mei shan called bak boh lao in cantonese right next to quickly's and in our broken chinese/cantonese we ordered our food. and the waiter couldn't understand what i was calling so everyone laughed embarrassingly because we were very embarrassed because our chinese sucks and the waiter laughed.

and the food that was placed on the round table was exactly what we ordered. good waiter. we should've left him more tip jordan. :) did i mention that jordan treat us out? so we didn't have to pay..since we didn't have money on us anyway. thanks jordan. *hug*

so we had "girl talk" since jordan pretended he was a girl and we tried "boy talking" too except we all didn't knoe what to talk about. jordan says boys don't always talk about cars, systems, games, and girls. they just talk about stupid stuff. so we tried but succeed we didn't and we finally figured out that we were the way last ones in the restaurant and that the waiters were patiently waiting for us to leave..which reminds me of a joke that angela made up.

q: why are waiters always taking so long?
a: because they are always waiting!

heh. get it, blog?

so once again we file out the door and jordan drives us home (what a good chaffuer :D ) then he stays at my house and hangs out with us fellow kwansters. well actually christina angela and abraham since i was washing the dishes and talking to keith.

keith and jordan stayed til one because they had nothing else to do. keith talked and read our calvin and hobbes comic book and jordan talked too. and blogged:

i'm being nice to jordan so i won't erase what he wrote down there in the previous entry. except he made up some stuff. -_- so don't believe everything he said, blog.

so i also went grocery shopping today at ninety-nine ranch market with christina--all by ourselves! without our mother. i felt so old like a mother. -_- and we bought like real food--you knoe, tofu, noodles, bean sprouts, tomatoes, dumplings, vegetables, apples, and a lot of other good stuff except we forgot to buy ground beef. ._. but that's okae. we could survive without it.

and then i cooked real food today, blog. :) and christina said she was in awe of me because i could cook. heh. *beam*

and jordan said that to me yesterday. hah wow! i'm getting to be a very good cook!! my bad reputation of handling food has now increased to a very good cook. i am pleased.

so wilso "invites" me to a chatroom with THREE people in it: me seong and wilso. then comes jordan so that makes four.

we start by having a very serious discussion about "the boss" and wilso wants to deck him along with spenroe but they might get hurt. *smirk*

and then jordan becomes a nice boy.

and wilso promises to come to church this sunday because he has a plan:

tatdatassup: this sunday
tatdatassup: im comin to church guys.!

then seong and wilso start reminiscing about the times jordan snaps and the time he snapped at me since i "jacked his car." (very frightful sight).

H i rYu X 10 27: i havent snapped in the longest time
H i rYu X 10 27: dang the last time was with evangeline.........
A sNrICE GAL: haha jordan hasn't snapped at me for the longest time *beam*
H i rYu X 10 27: dang its been sooo long
tatdatassup: i cant breath cuz of laughter
A sNrICE GAL: aren't you guys PROUD
tatdatassup: nope
H i rYu X 10 27: im sure the guys miss it though

tatdatassup: i like seeing jordan snap
tatdatassup: i find it the funniest thing

and so they're starting to think of way to make jordan snap. :D

H i rYu X 10 27: evangeline's been pretty cool to me lately i dont htink ill snap at her for a while
H i rYu X 10 27: i think im a better person when im single dont u think guys

and wilso has bad grammar especially in the usage of "then" and "than" heh--you knoe wilso, you'll thank me later since i'm helping you so you won't make these mistakes in your essays. @_@ but you already said thanks. but i expect another one. :)

then we start talking in chinese and seong doesn't understand anything. :)

then "ubp" comes up. and i still don't knoe what it is. -_- it can't be united body president because it doesn't make sense. -_-

and then comes mentionment of both homecomings. @_@ psh stupid jordan.

tatdatassup: oo evangeline got jokes

thus starts our "duel."

haha compliments towards me, WILSO!!

H i rYu X 10 27: ding ding ..one point for evangeline
c c H u k a N: shes dogging on ur *ss big time hommie
c c H u k a N: jordan shes on fire
c c H u k a N: oh my
c c H u k a N: she got u there
H i rYu X 10 27: this is funny!
tatdatassup: evangeline that is good
c c H u k a N: d*mn
c c H u k a N: that was big
c c H u k a N: omg good one evange
H i rYu X 10 27: go evangleine!!

c c H u k a N: d*mn

c c H u k a N: its lik.e..they were waiting for this day to come

heh yeeea we were. :D

tatdatassup: ms. makin up stuff

yeea right wilso--YOU'RE THE one who made up everything. (: at least mine were hardcore facts.

tatdatassup: next time
tatdatassup: this shall continue

yes it shall. and i'll win again. :)

aiyah. too much of wilso, seong, and jordan. @_@

one last thing wilso:

according to dictionary.com, glee: jubilant delight; joy.

good. you've learned one new word today!

H i rYu X 10 27: :-) i dont know i feel pretty darn like happy or joyful
H i rYu X 10 27: its sickining.........

haha me and jordan are twining today.

so i'm back home again, blog, after five days and four nights in the hot desert arizona.

except it rained for a spell while we were driving there.

and there was a whole bunch of thunder. but sunny kept telling me that it was lightning. she insisted that there's a big difference between lightning and thunder.. but i don't think so. -_-

it's the same thing. they're both a bright yellow zig-zaggy line that appears in the sky against big dark clouds. @_@

so we were a bit surprised and i was happy. but it also rained on thursday night and it was scary because the skies looked so black and menacing and the thunder resounded and rumbled really loud. and the rain pelted everyone so that it looked like everyone had polka-dotted clothes on.

but otherwise, it was hot with 100+ temperature. and it could go up to 119 degrees. so it was worser than california weather.

so it was wednesday morning and it was understood between jonathan and uncle [dennis] and us kwans that we were to be picked up at seven-thirty AM sharp except uncle [dennis] picked us up at EIGHT-THIRTY. -_-

so we ended up waking up early for nothing. we even woke up at six-thirty just to make sure we won't be late. by seven-ten we were all ready to go. -_- and we ended up watching catch me if you can since we were waiting so long.

so when uncle came we kept yelling at him and his first response was that 'the kwans are always late.' BUT we weren't this time. -_-

erhg. -_- but now we're at truce, blog, so we have decided to forgive uncle. (:

so we arrive at church and load everything in the car and off we go in the fifteen (actually eleven since we took out the backseat) seat rental van to the state next to us..

except i kept arguing that new mexico was next to california because it's supposed to be but when they took out the map, arizona ended up being right next to california. -_-

once again, i was proved wrong. *sob*

so us three kwans sat together--the only part of the trip that we all sat together

and we were tired so we tried to sleep, blog, except chrisl kept taking candid pictures of us -_- but i took pictures too. (:

and we played stupid games and thumbwar. :) i played uncle [dennis] and i think i won most of the time.

except it looks like he's beating me in here.

stopping to get gas and for bathroom breaks, we finally stumble out of the van at arizona after eight long hours.

so we rested at days inn since there was no other place to stay and dined at denny's and there was still time but they wouldn't let us go see the kids. ._.

and we almost died because it was so hot. -_- (it stopped raining)

going back to the hotel, i find that i misinterpreted something and *dun dun dun* get into big big trouble, blog. ._.

cell phones taken away during the day, we had five minutes at night to listen to our voicemails and call our parents and i had to call back jordan but i didn't knoe it was "against the rules" and then someone tells on me, blog, and i get into big big trouble by the big scary uncle [dennis]. *sob* but that's okae. i'm used to it. -_-

and i was still sulking during devotionals and i sat behind the couch IN THE LOBBY because we get fifteen minutes to ourselves to reflect and i lost track of time and they all thought i ran away and sent chriseley [chrisl's new name] to look for me.

but he couldn't find me in my wonderful hideout [sorrie chriseley -_-]

then i stopped sulking. :)

after christina nearly fainted with pain we all kind of took a break from the work projects--in which we had to tear down the ceiling and the roof. -_-

she wore a trashbag so she wouldn't get her precious clothes dirty

three o'clock thursday: we finally get to see the arizona kids. and it was like moments of running screaming and hugging..and i almost couldn't recognize any of them because they all grew so big and tall. and yes, blog, even taller than me. -_- even though some of them are only eleven.

here's jordan and he's only seven--one year older than marianna and half our age but he's catching up to our height. -_-

everyone seemed to be surprised when i told them how old i was. -_- they all expected me to be around twelve; fourteen at the most. WHAT IS THIS!! *shriek* @_@ it's enough when everyone thinks christina is older than me. *sob*

then later at night when i was trying to question what uncle [dennis] was saying because i didn't really understand, i got in trouble again. -_- *dun dun dun* another long lecture.

so the next day we worked, blog. well, because the boys kept making it sound like girls can't do anything--that girls can't tear down the ceiling and take out the tiling in the roof--so i just had to prove them wrong. (:

so i worked the whole time and it was fun except i'm still sore from working. -_- and i got a big cut down my right arm or more like a gash from a really big wire that was holding the ceiling.

and i had four dirt showers--heaps of dirt/dust just spilled over my head and my clothes and i felt really really really dirty. -_- and there was dust everywhere which was why we had to wear goggles and a mask. :)

and i couldn't reach the top. and i had to slap white spiders away. *shudder* how courageous i was. :)

here's jonathan working

workcrew of the day [we actually look kinda clean in that picture..but forreal, blog, we were scrupulously dirty.]

and when i took a shower it was just brown water. -_-

sitting in the van, i found myself sitting with steven and chriseley most of the time "unconciously".

backseat buddies

then we went to eat at denny's late at night for shew yeh in cantonese and shaw yeh in mandarin since we didn't eat dinner.

then later at night i get in trouble AGAIN. -_- something i misunderstood again. it was like inevitable. but i prayed that i wouldn't get in trouble the next day and i didn't. :) yay God answers prayers!! thanks God. :) *hug*

last day of seeing arizona kids we planned a waterballon game--envisioned it to be really organized..

getting there, kids grab the waterballoons and start making their own and throw it all over the place and soon buckets, containers, folger coffee cans, cups, bottles were used to throw water..over us. -_-

i wasn't even wet. i was soaked. drenched..dripping with water everywhere. -_- yet kids kept dumping water on me. -_- and i couldn't get them back since chriseley wouldn't let me use the hose. @_@ or wouldn't even give me water from the hose. and the water was freezing so i was shivering. but they still poured water on me.

to make things worser, cold water seemed to run out so they started using hot water to dump on us. -_- i think i almost died. @_@

not to mention that i had more water on me than i usually drink a week.

so it was the last day and i had to "teach" the lesson..and i couldn't think of anything so i just did a puppet show and it was supposed to be serious but everyone just kept laughing. -_-

since they wouldn't let us say bye to them the next day, we had to say bye to them on the saturday night. with our last hugs and goodbyes, me and christina actually tearlessly left them. -_- but we were sad. and kept thinking about them at night.

angela earned a new nickname: poopie...since she kept talking about her diarrhea and making poop jokes. -_- not to mention playing buttsies with jonathan and chriseley. @_@

car ride back:

jonathan and christina sitting in the back..and chriseley sitting by me..laughing their heads off and pretending they're laughing because jonathan farted..i'm never going to forgive you guys! *shriek*

then later we all start singing and dancing in the car except jonathan and steven squished me and i almost couldn't breathe. -_-

and if you poke jonathan, he'll scream. :)

and we took pictures of uncle when he was sleeping:

then we went home and we were sad because we miss the kids.

all compiled by jonathan. or you could look at his xanga, blog. except you're enemies with xanga so i don't knoe.

i hate to refer to his xanga because xangas are stupid but he has all the video/pictures on his. -_- (but that's okae we could always pretend he has a blog):
