Updates... Lol

Wow, it's really been a long while since I posted something here. I feel guilty abandoning my blog, my quiet little blog. Lol. This time around it will be just a short little post, but I promised you the next time will be something nice.

I must say, having a girlfriend is great. I improved my culinary skills, and I also enjoy having someone to share my life with. =p No no, don't worry, I won't get all smoochy here. =) On the the next post, I promise to upload some pictures. =p

Alright, time to head out for some poker at Drake now. I am still patiently playing to get that coveted number one spot of the night, but maybe not tonight. Lol. I still need to improve my game!! Lol. Aight, leave you here, will be back next time. Ciaoz!!

Happy New Year, with a new resolution! =D

Gone is 2008, here comes 2009!! This year is the year of my graduation, end of the year though. This year will also be a year of changes in my life, change for the better I definitely hope. Of course, this year will also be another chapter in my life.

Well, what better way to start off the new year with a hair cut on New Year's Day itself?! Hahaa... Yes folks, I have my longish, untidy hair cut. =D

These are pictures of my old hair style, my longish hair:

In the process of turning ugly to uglier then to the light at the end of the tunnel...

And walla!! My new hair style!!

What do you think? Are you shocked? No need to deny, people who saw me with my new mane are quite shocked at first, then smile and laugh. =p Hey hey, I don't mind!! The most important person said I am cute, and my parents like it, so I am happy. Wahahaha...

Well, there are a few things on this year's resolution for me, and here goes:

1. Build my resume, adding value to myself. I wanna learn Visual Basic, and also pass actuarial exams!!

2. Build my body, adding muscle to myself, LOL!! I am still dreaming of being able to do a slam dunk!!

3. Build my bank, adding money to my bank!! =p I wanna go somewhere nice, somewhere I have yet to visit. =)

I think that's all now. Surely, I can add more to the list in the future, but I will not decrease it. Everything on the list is something I can achieve, and is something valuable to me. Let us all strive to achieve our New Year's Resolution!! =D

Christmas 2008

Ahh... Quiet and relaxing white Christmas I had. Yes, I was alone. Of course, I did hang out with some friends who are around, which I truly appreciate their company. Shopping during Boxing Day wasn't as great as I expected. There weren't much sales, and there weren't much things to shop for, pretty dull and boring.

With so much time, I got myself to do some workout in the evenings. Even though I was at home, I still manage to get some serious workout done. =D Yes, muscle ache and sore shoulder, I still would like to get more workout in today. Six packs, here I come!! Or eight packs maybe? =p

What else I did? Hmm... I played foosball with Adrian, which is nice; I managed to clean up my house as well; watched the Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which was a great movie; best of all, won some money playing poker! =p Hey hey, a straight beat pair 10s anytime, doesn't it? Won some cash and dignity, and I feel great! =D

Well, back to work tomorrow after the nice long weekend. I am invited to join a few good friends to Minnesota over the New Year, and I am seriously contemplating it. Money and work is the main factor; on the other hand, friendship and holiday. Hmm... What should I do? Go, don't go? Will see, making the decision tomorrow...

Sadness...

Gosh, I am bored and lonely. Really. =(

I thought I will be ok after sending you off, and I was, till I was all alone when you got on the plane to Japan. Calls from you before you board the plane helped me kill my loneliness a while, but once I realize that it will be at least till tomorrow that I hear from you, the lonely feeling creep up on me.

I guess not doing much at home and being alone really encourage sadness. Add in the fact that almost everyone will be gone for holiday, including my housemates, my loneliness and sadness really haunt me. Just a few hours and I am missing your voice and your presence beside me. I really can't wait till I hear your voice tomorrow!

I really hope working tomorrow will ease the pain, but I start to have doubt against that. Tomorrow is a crucial day at work, and hopefully that can take my mind off missing you for a while. Really, I don't want to screw up tomorrow. =\

I need someone to come accompany me to ease this feeling, I need a good friend who can cheer me up, anyone? Have I been a good friend lately? I do hope so and also hope that I have good friends out there who will be willing to do something with me.

Sigh... I wonder how can I sleep tonight... I miss you my dear... =(

Finals is OVER!! =p

Yahooooo!! Finals is over for this semester!! Whether or not I screwed up for finals is not a question for the time being. =p Time to enjoy and relax now!! =D

Where should I go? What should I do? Hmm... That's some challenging question I must say! Well, all I know now is that I will be free these few days, after that I will be working. So I must enjoy whatever holiday I have!! =p

Let's hope there will be some fun activity coming up for me!! I don't want to waste these few precious holiday!! =p And also hopefully I can get some pictures or posts up here... =D Ciaoz!

Zzzzz.....

Finals... Zzzzzz.... Sigh...

So bored. So much to study, so little mood to do it... Why why??

Someone give me some motivation please!! =(

Amazing weekend!

I had an amazing weekend. Amazing.

First up, we went out for dinner at a German restaurant and bar. Dinner was fine, everyone shared a huge platter, and we get to sample a bit of everything, including their famous pork shank, which was very good. A few sips of beer to wash down the food and we head over to the next location.

The next location, Iowa's very own local casino, Praire Meadows. Yeap, I am making full use of my legal age now!! I played a little poker at the poker room, which is a pleasant experience. No, I did not win any money, but at least I know what it feels like to play in the casino.

After that, we went to the Grand Piano Bistro. I got myself a bottle of beer, and we managed to get a table in the filled bistro. Just as we were chatting over a beer, two guys went up the stage to continue their piano duet. Playing songs requested from the audience, they were a blast. I must say, understanding between them is amazing. While one is entertaining the crowd, the other one is playing some background music; they even know when they want to stop and let the crowd sing along! Wonderful. I really enjoyed it, not because of the alcohol, which I only had one bottle of beer, but because of the live performance and the atmosphere.

The next day, I head over to my boss place. The best part, I got to learn how to shoot a gun!! Two gun as a matter of fact. First is a small calibre gun, easy to handle, easy to hit the target. It was a rifle, and it was quite fun. After a few rounds, we up the fire power. We shot a 9mm Glock, and it was amazing. Squeeze the trigger, hear the shot, hit the target, exhilarating!! And yes, the bullet shell is what I took for souvenier, something for me to remember my first time ever shooting a gun.

To sum out such an amazing weekend, we had some pho tai bo vien (vietnamese beef noodles) after some wrestling and MMA. It was wonderful, and by far the best weekend for this whole semester! =D
