fusion 2008

every year, asian american association will organized an annual event called the Fusion to celebrate cultures of asia. being part of AAA brought me closer to other countries around the world, China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, HongKong, Vietnamese, Philippines and Malaysia. i signed up for the China dance coordinated by Jingyi Wang. at first i thought the dance was hard cause i have numb legs for movement.haha. i did not memorize the dance until the last minute cause i felt i did not need too. but i realised that i need to. luckily i memorize the moves in time for the big event. fusion was a sold-out event and a spectacular event that i will cherish forever. i wore the blue costume. also, i performed at the fashion show. strutting like a catwalk with manlihoood. yea, man!!i wore the baju Melayu with the songket. i never wore that before but i really look cool in that.
over all, the dances were terrific. the vietnamese was cool with props like a paddy field costume and torch lights to shine on, the japanese wore kimonos, the malaysian dance did some hand movements and sweet graceful steps, philippines dramatic wushu combat warriors, and korean with some hip-hops moves,girly dancing and breakdancing.wish i could do that, though!!if only....alas, the seniors did a good job in doing a hip-hop dance playing timberlake's song & raining man, cheesy!!! anyway, i am looking forward towards the next fusion coming next year. the seniors, morgan, katie hu, becca will be graduating this semester. they were so nice and friendly people. morgan aka as "u need me" katie hu aka "act tough but look cute" and becca aka "blur blur"...

flip pong

i decided to try playing flip pong yesterday since i did an amazing job in fusion 2008. i think you are not familliar with this game but this game is pretty intense man. see the 5 crosses that where your 5 teammates stand and the other 5 opposition stand. you are each given a cup that contains a beer. after drinking the beer, you need to flip your cup. the triangle is suppose to be beer cups arranged like bowling. you got that?let's say you pick the blue cross so your first person will be standing and he drinks then he flips, the 2nd person flips..the order continues. the last person who drinks needs to shoot a pingpong ball into the opposition cup. and then he runs over to the cup that he throws the ball in and drinks. next, the order continues. i think you got the picture. it gets pretty intense when you are on your last two cups because it is pretty hard to shoot the ball in. the winner stays and the next challenger comes in. you are in the game until you lose. imagine how many beers you will drink!!got the picture?

after playing for like 2 rounds, i decided that enough is enough.i couldnt let myself drown in beer. but it was pretty intense. so much pressure!!!haha..then i decided to go upstairs to get something to cool myself off. this is not what i imagine it would be. something to drink means getting some shots. and since it was the wushu champions birthday, we decided to drink toast. after 5 shots of whatever it is called, i realised that i have past my limit and expectations. note that i did not get drunk but i did not want to go to the extent of doing something which i think i am not that kind of person. so yea, i went back home with my pal, Ko Dongyeun. he drinked too. if the police stopped us, we are in hot soup. the consequences, underage drinking, drinking while driving=suspend license, and boot back home!luckily, we were fine and everything turned out to be okay.

lesson #1: beer pong is addicting and fun.

lesson #2: work hard and play hard.

lesson #3: partying in a house is very crowded but you get free drinks.

itchyness

out of nowhere this itch started. i have no idea how i got it. everything i ate is normal, my bed sheet looks pretty clean, i wash my shirts every week. so how can this happen?so irritating. everytime when i sleep on my bed, the itch always appear. its like some kind of bed bug i think. i tried washing them, but it still happens. i feel like a dog whenever i scratch the infested area.then, when i scratch it, it becomes redder and redder, almost like a big red bump on my skin..because of this stupid infection, i am missing my work pay. so much to lose, so little to gain. argghh..this itchiness better go off soon.

fire

while i was working today, suddenly the firm alarm came on asking us to leave. I thought it was just an ordinary fire drill but actually it is really true. there was a fire below the basement, just a small fire in the dryer. some smart people put oily mops head inside. how smart is that??so i had to go out wearing my working clothes.i was just wearing t-shirt and jeans when i went outside. so happen it was snowing. so freezing cold.
luckily, it was just a minor fire that broke out. this is my first experience.

shopping at ohio

this is a very rare occasion because in miami university there is no shopping complex around. don't be mistaken about this university because it is not the miami in florida.everybody seems to be mistaken.anyway, dongyeun and I made a trip downtown to ashville to take the china girls for shopping as a birthday present. i just had to tag along with them. as usual the girls went shopping and the both of us just hang around in the mall, looking for winning eleven on ps2. very rare cd...we passed by the apple store and it was so sick. the laptop was so damn thin, i think it is equilavent to 6 papers stacked up on each other. that is so sick man,SICK!!but cool innovation..apple really rule the market of technology currently!!after we finish walking around the mall, we decided to drink a cup of starbucks and chatted. the story continues....
after that, we headed for a international food cuisine, korean & japanese mix. however, the food that I ordered turned out to be so bad. i could cook better food than that..geezz!!japanese, *rolling eyes*...when we decided to walk back, it was already raining. arggh....had to run in the rain to get in the car. throughout the journey, we kept on hearing the "apologize" by timberland. that is our theme song for the journey. haha...."its too late to apologize, it's too late!!"guess its too late after all. i longed for tattoo by jordin sparks and indeed it did played. must be my lucky day after all. that what i did for sunday. tomorrow will be president's day in US and i have a day off. time to relax and catch up with homework.

chinese new year

this is my first time experiencing chinese new year in the united states and what depressing time it is...no more red packets, no more funfair in Taiping, no more prawns and steamed fish, no more pepper soup in gu kong house, meeting with jia yen and cousins and the list goes on. while the people back home is celebrating the most celebrated event in Malaysia(i think), here i am studying for my economics quiz..that adds into the misery and the depressing state i am in.there is not even a celebration at all. while i am writing this blog, i am wondering what my other cousins are doing right now. this year, dad and mum went back extremely early..i wonder why!!is it because they each have leaves or it is because of other things?i wonder...maybe its a good because then eeling can get to be closer with the other cousins and play with the uncles and aunties.that would be so fun!!my mum brought eeling a nice cheongsam which i think will be cute on her!!i am so excited to see the photos..cute eeling...haha...
i will be so busy this weekend...accounting project due on sunday accounting test on monday, statistics test on tuesday...what a "splendid" weekend for me...anyway, just want to wish everybody back home a happy chinese new year...and gong xi fa cai!!
