Pic-A pic-A!

From the weekend before I left for Thanksgiving:


Schoolman and myself. Note the scary deer head in the corner of the picture. Why it's there, I have no idea.


StephFan, me, and Glen in some sort of Zoolander pose. No idea what he's doing.


Schoolman, StephFan, Dan, Ben, and me.


Another hilarious Glen/StephFan picture.


Yuhasz and me, another fellow December grad. We go WAYY back to freshman year where we suffered through Chem class together (he sat in the front row too. that's how we met. go nerds!)

In NYC:

Me and Jay! See you in Vegas you STUD!


At Swish (Spencer is the one w/ the chopsticks), and the massive amounts of food we got. This isn't even everything; we're missing a few plates.


I saw these in the Japanese grocery store. Aren't they ADORABLE?


View of Central Park from the top of Rockefeller Plaza. You can see the BofA building on the right side; future home to my bestest friend and future roommate. Somewhere in front of it is where we lived over the summer.


Blurry picture of the family, with the Empire State Building in the background. My stomach looks fat b/c I have my gloves and earmuffs inside. It gives it that pregnant look. O, as an FYI, I'm wearing sneakers in the picture. Thought I'd point out the height differences in my family. haha

Don't you love how this comes AFTER I've accepted the offer from them already? YES!

Current Location: New Jersey

I'll be at home (and the surrounding vacinities) till Saturday. Nice and chill. Going to be in the city Tues-Thurs doing various fun and yummy activities. Spent today getting my drug test and watching Harry Potter. If you'd like to get into discussions about HP in general, you know who to call. I'm also currently rereading HP 6; I've read it the least number of times out of all of them, so it's a good refresher.

After running over the benefits plan w/ my parents, I realized that on the benefits front, I'm getting screwed. Sucks to my ass-mar. Stupid Wall Street companies who expect you to leave. <3 the Oobis; never realized how good their plan was compared to others. And now, I have to spend 3+ years somewhere else for the sake of my career. *sigh* I hope I don't become one of THEM, those arrogant cocky people. Haha, I'm dissing my future employer before I even start working there.

Friday was fun; I didn't bring my camera plugger-in thingiemabobber so I can't upload. Plus some stuff I promised I wouldn't post ;) Hung out w/ the Webster crew (LOVE them, they're all too hilarious), ate McDonald's at 2 AM (best time to eat it, let me tell you), and managed to wake up in the morning to do my laundry before flying home. I rock. Good thing my flight was at 5pm.

Can't believe I only have 3 more weeks of real school; this semester has flown by. Will get more nostalgic later as my college life draws to a close.

Went out to dinner on Mount Washington w/ Tony last night. It was beautiful up there. Too bad it was f*king FREEZING. View from the restaurant was nice. Always fun to hit up expensive restaurants with someone who's just as critical of food as myself. It wasn't worth the 175 I paid. The critical reviews on the website were correct. That's ok. We'll hit up the oldie but goldies before we leave. Yes, I know what you're thinking. That's right, I paid. No big deal. It's really cuz Tony forgot his CC, but I win on this deal anyways, cuz he's paying for the next 2 dinners. Chaya and Monterrey Bay Grotto. Hells yea. A tribute to our failed relationship. And another picture for your viewing pleasure. We never take good pictures together. I don't get it.


I feel like this is becoming like a freaking picture shrine to us. ENOUGH ALREADY!

Anyways, in other news, I'm heading home from Saturday to Saturday. Got plenty of hw to do over the break, but that's OK. Plan on being in the city for some of that time, so yea. Wanna try to visit Columbia again and SWISH this time cuz I didn't last time, and play with Domo b/c he'll be interviewing in the city. Also got some family time and shopping time thrown into there. Really shouldn't shop.

Possible Upcoming Trips:
-Las Vegas (January)
-Russia (June/July) <- Least Likely
-Texas (June)

Freaking going to be broke, but hey. Live it up when I'm still young right?

It was a good run while it lasted. Happy former anniversary.

In reference to my TRUE aspirations and goals in my life (those of you who know me know what those goals are. If you don't know, then ask me).

a xbo y i e e (4:34:31 AM): that's the last thing i see u as
a xbo y i e e (4:34:35 AM): ur too assertive
a xbo y i e e (4:34:41 AM): u got that dragonlady in u

Ahh...brings back memories of the good ole days.

Whew! Finally home. Another CRAZY sleepless weekend, but it was a LOT of fun. Headed over to Austin for my 3rd fall break. First was my ACTUAL midsemester break, then last weekend I celebrated Halloween and my sister's birthday in NYC, then this past weekend, I flew down to Austin along with Jay and Spencer and spent a weekend with those kool kats. Those lucky guys got this 'election weekend' off.

Bumped into a bunch of people on 6th Street that I haven't seen in ages, and bumped into people that I planned on seeing. Also, LOVE the southern hospitality. Everyone's so friendly, and everything's so CHEAP!

In other news...
Happy late birthday Wee Ming Choon!
My shuffle is now back in commission. YAY! I have missed it.
Phone calls have been made, and plans for where I will be working at for the next 2 years (most likely) are becoming formalized. I can't believe this is really happening. So weird and unexpected.
Harry Potter is coming out in a few days!!!
Probably gained a million lbs from the food eaten in Austin.


Anyways, since I should be doing work, of course I have decided to upload pictures instead. =)


My sister and I at her birthday dinner at EN. As you can see, I am decked out in good ole conservative PTA mom gear in comparison to my sister.


Me, my big bro Justin, and my sister when he dropped by.


My sister's feet were hurting by the end of the night, so I let her wear my sneakers


I in turn wore her disgustingly high heels. I have never worn shoes this high or with such a skinny heel. So I had to take pictures to document it.


While Jessica and I were walking down Broadway close to Century 21 on Halloween night, some loser high schoolers sprayed our butts with shaving cream. For some reason, I wasn't annoyed at all. Weird, huh? Instead, I just laughed. Not to say anyone else should do this to me, I WILL kill you.


My first Plucker's experience! YUM!


Friday night before going out.


Me and Pat!! Look how much we've grown since freshman year in high school!


Jay, Jessica, Me, and Spencer. Former UBS summer interns! Now, only 1 of them is returning to UBS, and he won't even be returning next year. =( I heart the oobis.


Cheese!


Leon's 10 shots of kamikazes for us. On top of the shots of kamikazes we already took, the long islands, other drinks, and pregaming. Austin is CRAZY. No WONDER people only go out for 1 hour.


Me and Leon! Haven't seen/hung out with him in AGES. (the 3 seconds I saw him over the summer on 6th street last summer doesn't count)


Soon to be Dr. Randy Yeh. Always out on 6th. Bumped into him over the summer too. But this time I have a CAMERA!


Me and Terri. I haven't seen her since the dance class days.


Me, Thomas, Terri, and Randy. So random, bumping into all of them.


Me, Eric Chen, and Scotty (this picture is for you, Justin!)


Spencer passed out on Jessica's bed after our first night out. We were sharing 3 people to a bed for a bit. Yes. 3 people on a full sized bed.


High school people! Jessica, Tony, Andrew, Peter, Me, Patrick at Rudy's for some good ole Texas BBQ. No time for Saltlick, unfortunately.


Rudy's has this awesome automatic hand washer/sterilizer. SOO AWESOME! All you do is stick your hands in and it washes your hands FOR YOU!


Me and my oldest friend Patrick (since kindergarten!). Him and Peter came up for the weekend from Houston and we got to meet up. YAY!


Lola! Cutest dog EVER!!! I WANT ONE!


Yoshi! SO CUTE!


Me, Lola, Jessica, Yoshi, and Spencer in the backseat on the way to the park to walk the dogs.


Jessica's apt balcony has pigeon eggs on it. Random, eh? I don't think they're fertilized though. You should ask her about the story where one of them hatched. And died. And disinegrated. And is now random fluff on her balcony.


The 2 Nguyens (Daniel and Tony).


Me, Eric Liu, and Jessica. Got Eric nice and sleepy for his plane ride back to Cali. =)


Jay and Spencer double fisting. Copious amounts of alcohol were consumed.


Jay and his friend Aya posing w/ the cigarette dispenser. Yes, SO CHEAP as opposed to NY!


Everything IS bigger in Texas!


At Austin Kareoke, Jay showed me his 4 ft. long tongue.


Look! No eyes! In all my pictures from this day, my eyes are tiny slits b/c I got barely any sleep. I blame Leon.


Kenny and I in a passport looking background. They're going to be playing mah jong without me this week. =(


Me and my FAV Junior, MICHAEL in my FAV ice cream place, MARBLE SLAB!


Jessica is sad because...


Walmart is CLOSED! That's OK, we ended up going to another one, for Spencer's very first ever Walmart experience. Crazy New Yorkers and their no Walmarts.


Right before leaving for the airport. AWESOME WEEKEND!!! See you guys in a few weeks!
