It feels kinda lame to be waiting for the year 2006 to come my way, here in Seattle (or for other cases, Cupertino and Bloomington).

You see, my home country #1, China, and my home country #2, Singapore has both got their share of New Year joy 2006 as the sun sets 15~16hrs earlier. Slowpoke, and to think we do that every other year for the past 2,006 years.

We do get a great 2005-last-day-brunch at Cindy’s though. Lotsa food and lotsa of people, and I got AIM from Steph and Danny (Mark’s newphew and niece). Nice. I was just a shy Asian kid. Damn, its the 4th meeting and I’m still quite not comfy to sit around drinking root beer.

Taipei 101, Taiwan

Tokyo TV Tower, Japan

Syndey, Australia

Auckland, Australia

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Mt. Faber, Singapore

Manchester, England (4-1w against Bolton)

For that, I’m gonna have hot pot for dinner!

I know people are talking about New Year’s resolutions, and YES, one day away from Year 2006, it IS time to talk about such stuff. But I just spend the past 2 hours working on my templates and have plenty of stuff to share (as usual). I will put it off just one more night. Yea.

1.First, I really like Vans Prison Issue 23 (US$48 +S/H). Sneakers’ are cool after you aren’t told to wear them in school. Not really into all the Nike ones, but more of Converse/Vans (in fact, that’s the only pairs I brought back to Seattle). Plus I really like straps. I remember using those before I learnt how to use lace. Those are the good old times. (yea, doesn’t even have to think about ny resolutions back then, just got toys from xmas and play them like never before, until school starts.)

good product.retro.

2.I remember this guy from some surfers’ forum avatar, which says in Chinese words, “Eh, you not happy ah? Wan fight!?” Quite sadly, it seems to have been led into misuse beyond that angry pussy face. We have before and after right here with (more…).
The title: Never post your photo online.

Before:

After:

the World Wide Web is a cruel place to live in.
and by the way, he’s from Taiwan, and NOT from China.So stop punking the pitiful Chinese students already!

3. Next to it are some funny ads that may or may not make you laugh. Sorry, I didn’t make any of them.

would you laugh or would you be pissed? that depends on how you pronounce Dave.

4.Going metro can be one of the trend of the year 2006. Very gayly metro and as he calls himself;

“Materialist. Shallow. Superficial.”

I could just imagine some of you going “Owww…” while some going “Awww…”. I’m kinda neutral, I haven’t read too much into him as a person, just some photos of him with expensive goodies and some man and some woman. He is s narcist that’s for sure.


Nope, I don’t love bryanboy…
Not yet.

5.Bryan is also kind enough to set up another site to satisify the handbag voyeurs. Ya.

what’s in your bag? (captia1)

6.Okay, finally, the best for the last.
You have heard of Netflix, Blockbuster, and even some Game Renting services that sends you discs to your house mailbox in envelopes. Well, how about getting a handbag for a little bit higher price?

It’s amazing, and they seem to have trademarked themselves and is known as Bag Borow or Steal. Go try it out, it start as low as $19.95/month! And I think they have quite a variety of bags. Rich owner.

quite done.

22hours to 2006.
Flash and we are 6 years beyond Y2K.
So much happened this year and the last.
And I shall resist to share my resolutions till another 10 or so hours.
God Bless.

The barren tree, the clear blue sky and the solo space needle.
all but distorted.
wonderfully crafted.
beautifully seattled.

among other crap that happened today, I wanna thank Steph for doing us a favor by asking Lukas to do delivery for us.
Good Jack in the Box dude!

Christmas in Seattle by (Photo by Markwells)

12-24-05 Christmas Eve

“Its 10:35p.m. and the magic has already begun. Not some disappearing act by David Copperfield or some pigeon out of hat by one of the clowns. Its one that follows the trend of faith, trend of believe, not found in evil or naught, but deep in the root of children’s love.

Better get in bed, and hang the socks high because Santa Claus is coming to town with all the toys in his rack, hang right on his back.

Down comes the chimney he falls and long bring the ashes and soots from the wall.

The “Elf” brought Christmas to a closing with all the warmth and love one could ever feel. “The Night Before Christmas” tells it all. Now the kids are all in bed hoping they have been a good girl or boy and recieves the present that best them all.

Pepper licks and licks then hang her feet in the air while looking in blank

The magic are embraced in the song and poem, nothing is amiss or went blank. Only the mind that has again went wild.

This Christmas, I felt Santa from the love of my family and them all. And look, Mum is still knitting my Santa sock!”

with much love,
kai

This Christmas, did you experience Santa, and the magic that he brought?

Merry Christmas.

I do think that I miss her.
It could be because I’m alone at house at times,
it could be because the guys are out of town,
it could be because of the replaying memos,
but ain’t those just plainly made excuses to get out of the thought?

Merry Christmas, dear one.

This is what I’m talking about.

Be a Tease~

Now, that’s Good News!

Seattle is GREAT!

Cats are good companies.
(and Dogs are good friends, yes yes…)

And erm… if you are interested in Chinese term blogging…
stay TUNE!
Chinese are cool!
So are Hangzhou-ese [I think that's how its spellld]
HAHA!!

我喜欢的节奏滥调。
k-歌
歌手。
阿门。

棒！

好多人问他为何还不结婚。
我好像知道原因。

There are snow, there are people walking…

I think I’m getting all sick with lack of sleep, lack of nutrition, lack of knowledge (wow wow) all for the bloody semester finals that I was never ready about. I ususally takes a few days to get done with quarter finals, cuz you probably take 4 classes tops and that’s it, but it is crazy here, I have exams on Saturday, Sunday and all the way up to Thursday. It’s like in Singapore! But the grade for A is 90! mmm… not cool. I need something warm and I need support from my uncle who said that sometimes, it is okay not to achieve, just don’t overstress yourself. We are just students, no reason to, he said. Quite cool you know, cuz he’s someone I look up to and all, and he actually didn’t push me (sort of expected though). He rock, but I still kinda fear him nonetheless.

Bloomington decided to compete with Seattle for snowing depth and snowing quantity, without a doubt, we won, and we meant Bloomington since I’m here. It snowed hard and the wind blew hard, now on the 3rd day, we still have 4 or 5 inch of the snow left with the road still all ice and slippery with the constant sub 0 temperature. Eventually, I have to leave the house for my papers, so no grudges.

On the day of our first snow, we the troopers as the sales-lady called us, went to college mall to shop. I’m dying for Roller Coaster Typhoon 3 (cuz I really like the panda mascot guy) and a Winter Earflap Hat (like the one shown, you know how it covers your ear… wooo, soooo goood).

Now, with my stomache and all that, I do think I was a trooper!
Ended up getting quite a few things. I think I’m not rich enough, cuz I can’t get all that I want. But come to think of that, most of us aren’t, since when it comes to shopping, no one really is. (Not really, J.Lo’s hand’s worth 10million bucks with 3 xxx-carats of diamond rings…3 dude…3!)

Hey hey hey, dude shut up dude, shut up, everyone looks chubbier during winter. Common sense, we wear more clothes. Yes, you shut up.

And there goes the boots, very hard to see, but still can see. where did the booties go!?

So there was a big white bear selling for $100+. But then… no significant other than feeling a lil hurt on your wallet when you spend $100+ on something you don’t really know if you really wanted. The salesman seems to be interested in it. But cannot! Why? Conflicting interest dude! (it’s in your econ text man)

I’m sure you will enjoy the videos with my commentary, although I don’t have the best of all voices since I’m trying to sound cute each time the light lights up on the camera. But I think I have capture the essence of the December 8th’s 1st Snow of the season.

This one came when it juz started snowing, or maybe not, since its already accumulated quite abit. But then, the wind, damn strong huh? The snow, damn big huh? Ya, Btown snow, RULE!

Very detailed analogy. I think I was trying to impress the people back in Seattle that the snow here is fiercer. You know, kiasu. My snow is fierer than yours, I win, you lose.

Outside College Mall. Snow still falling after it started about 7 hours ago. good memories eh?

Lastly, I think the radio people (do you have a name for radio people?) in Bloomington is too idiotic to contain their own excitement, as you might have heard from MY video, the snow with 3 and 3/4inch, well, we got that from our dear radio people who like kept emphasizing that number. Plus, instead of calling it snow, which doesn’t sound all that bad, they call it white death. Ya, the road’s dangerous, so? So the voices sounded like this,

Guys, we are having 3 and 3/4 of white death, 3 and 3/4 white death, 3 and 3/4 white death, white death… WHITE DEATH. So if you think you are going out, you are not! If there’s anywhere better to be at right now, it is home!

Snow is the symbol for purity and beauty, not death. Dude, you don’t see any God of Death going around in their wedding gown, do you? And yes, wedding gown is White in color! Bo liao.

Peace out. (my foot la, stomache, no constant peace.)

Stop studying for abit and check out the World Cup ‘06 Draw Result.

I’m an England Fan.

1 more week before leaving snow for rain, that rocks.

同学们!
下雪了!

I did my blogging and decided to go to sleep.
Rahul called cuz we were suppose to go to Chow Bar, and he told me it was blizzarding out there.
Yeah dude yeah!

its cool in the camera, and its cooler to be in the picture dude!

we are in RUSSIA!

I think I’m actually a #2 person, I’m having difficulties with myself because I didn’t want to recognize that.

Why are there so many shows around to teach people how to be a person, shows like Dr. Phil and so on. Does the Earthlings really need those stuff to live on, apart from crunching those chips and sipping those sodas. There are a huge list of reality shows and vh1 shows that reflects the Hollywood and celebrities’ lifestyle which are wreckoning true.. It’s ridiculously crazy, but nonetheless good, although I would prefer TBS more. Isn’t it all about money, or what?

sometimes the package makes you miss the single one;
sometimes the single one relates you back to package.

Now I’m missing the whole package.

And this time, I won’t be going to the restroom when paying.

I can’t find my key.
