It snowed today! Finally!!! :)
I woke up this gloomy morning, freezing inside my house. I knew it would snow later on the day, so I threw on a long-sleeve shirt and a wool-lined jacket. Happily, I went to school. Little did I know the first thing that greeted me was light rain after class. Not to be daunted, I walked to the gym, expecting the rain to go away.
Two hours later, I emerged from the gym. "It's a monsoon out there," one girl said to her friends at the counter. Sure enough, the rain was heavier. But it was no monsoon. When you are in oklahoma and it rains less than 20 times in a year. A drizzle is considered heavy and heavy rain is considered monsoon. I was mad because I didnt bring my cap. Snow, yes, I am prepared. The camera is in my bag. But rain?!
After my last class which I got out early because one girl said it was slicking. Yes! Snow. I came out of class and looked out the window. Shit! Rain! Heavy Rain!
Later, I walked out the doors and tiny ice hits my head. Woah! Its raining heavy snow! :) You think that snow would be lovely and everything would be white. My foot! The ground was muddy and slicky and there were some patches of white but there were too little snow...well..must wait till next morning.
The only thing im excited for is for class to get cancelled tomorrow. Yes. In oklahoma, one inch is snow is hazardess. Think further north in Michigan. My poor friend had to suffer through 6 feet of snow until his clothes are all wet, and still, he has to go to class. Boohoo.
Hehehe. Oklahoma, we're the best. :)
pls: Rain and snow on one day, means tml is going to be freezing. As much as I love snow, its now time for me to dig out all my thick winter clothings and huddled up. And I was so hoping that the temperate would be between the 60-70 F so my winter clothing could collect dust inside my luggage and I wont have the trouble of taking those musty clothes out. Dreams crushed.

Proof
I need to watch the movie, Proof.
Go check it out. Apparently, it came out in 2002 (what was i thinking...not knowing this movie! gasp!) and there are a couple of big stars playing it. Anyway, my friend said that it was pretty good. So now, I want to watch it.
Besides, Proof is somehow related to my class as well. I am currently taking acting for non-major and my scene is based on Proof. I thought it was a play, which are those u see in theatres, coz my class was geared towards stage not camera. So it was very surprising to me when my partner told me that proof was a movie too! Hehehehe. I wanna watch it now!
Pointless Facts:
1) I bought a mini cheese cake today.
2) I am going to the gym tml.

Borat and Stephen King
Borat - movie title which I dont know how to spell.
Borat is a movie about this guy from Khazastan going to America and learning about their culture. He is the main character and all others are real people.
Borat seems to purposely provoke and anger the Americans on purpose. While I think that the movie is 'funny', it is insulting to certain Americans because he ridicules them. He learns but he goes out of usual tourist way to make it funny. So everything about the movie is on the extreme side.
-----------------------
I finished reading Stephen King's Misery in 6.5 hrs. So much to read, so little time. My head is pounding for taking all the information in and blocking out most of them just so I can get an outline of the entire story. Personally, I am no fan of his books. This is the first one and I have to say, I am still NO fan of his books. The horror stories are gruesome but heck, its not worth my time. I just read it coz my frenz loan it to me and I wanted to finish it so that I wont hurt ppl's feelings. If I picked this book in the library, it would be shove back on the shelf in less than a second.
Ta-ta. Have to collect my 4 weeks laundry now.
Good Night.

I Support You!
Its a crazy world, but Im crazy too. ''I SUPPORT YOU!" - Playing a drinking game, becoming my partner and my fav line.
I spend thanksgiving in dallas, hanging out with a bunch of Hong Kong and Malaysian frenz. I actually only met some of them once or twice, and they speak fluent cantonese all the while, which makes it hard for me to understand or communicate with them.
Well, heck that! Apparently, drunk people speak english! For e.g. "Wake me up!" in a slurred voice.
I was playing a popular HK drinking game, the same one played in Pirates of the Carribean II.
Game Rules
1) There are 5 dices in a cup and you overturn the cup on the table and shake it.
2) You open the cup, but dont let the others see your dice.
3) First round - anyone starts. Subsequent rounds - the loser starts.
4) Call out a number of dice. E.g. If five people are playing, you can call out five twos, which means that you are guessing there are at least a min of 5 twos in all the 25 (total no.) dices. The first no called out must be equal or bigger than the amt of people playing.
5) One is a wild card, and can be anything unless the number is called out.
6) Senario: There are 5 ppl playing. A calls out 7 fours. (rmb, first no is equal or larger than the amt of ppl playing) B calls out 8 fours. (stakes must increase for either one or both numbers. Cannot call out 7 threes/twos/ones unless you call 8 threes/twos/ones.) C calls out 10 six. D doesnt believe there are 10 sixes in all 25 dices so D says 'open!'. Everyone opens their cups and the dices are reveals. Start counting the no of sixes everyone has, including ones, since it is a wild card and since no one has bet on ones. D counts a total of 11 sixes. So D drinks a can of beer coz he lost. If D counts 9 dices, then C drinks coz he is incorrect.
The game I played, each time you lost, drink a can of beer. Our fren had lots of beer in a slightly smaller can. But anyway, you can see how easy it is to get drunk. Lose 4 games, drink 4 times. I drank red wine coz I couldnt stand beer. Mine was 1/5 of a huge cup. So the amt is almost like in a wine glass.
Luckily, since I didnt know how to play the game at first, Ah Lam helped me. He is Ah Wing's younger brother and brothers dont exactly like to drink with each other. So anyway, Ah Lam became my partner after a while to help me out, since I was losing... Well, not only did he teached me the game, he helped me to make good decisions and drink some wine if I lost. Hahaha.
Bad news. Apparently, he got drunk later on. I was already half gone. I knew I was rather drunk but was still aware of my surroundings, and my head kept rolling around like when you are really sleepy coz it was late at night anyway. I went to the toilet a couple of times to get rid of the alcohol. Before I knew it, since my partner was still playing, he drank for me if 'I' lost, and besides, I knew I couldnt take in more alcohol. So I drank little and refused to play unless I drink water. You had no idea how stubborn Ah Wing was. He refused coz he said I can do it. I dont really recall what happened next. All I knew was I slowed down my intake of alcohol but my partner was suprisingly drunk for the next whole day coz he puked so frequently from the time he slept till next evening or night.
I slept at 6am and woke up at 1030am...feeling tired but still had the energy to eat dim sum. Lionel too. The other two guys slept like pigs and another two didnt really play a lot...so they didnt drink much either. Ah Lam was just holed up in his room the entire day. So he was out of the question.
----------------
This thanksgiving must be the wildest so far. Drank too much (before that I even had Neon Tower drink at a fancy revolving tower and I drank half of a girl's glass coz she didnt want to finish it. It was darn good. Coffee and alcohol.)
Things I did for the first time during thanksgiving.
1) Getting drunk/groggy but still sane. I still could count the dices. But my partner gulped down the alcohol too fast coz he thought we lost, even though we didnt. Haih.
2) Fishing. I didnt put the bait on the hook but I did throw the line and took loads of pictures.
3) Baby Dolls. Shucks. Unwilling, I had you know.
pls: I left my cleanser in their house. That's a first too, if you want to count it.

Daily Drama
MONDAY.
I had a test. I didnt study/revise for it because it was supposed to be last wed but my classmates wanted to postpone it. So happily, I thought i am just gonna revise it on the test day itself. It wasnt until 2.5 hours before the test that I realized my notes/answers/hw was gone! LOST! Misplaced!!! Oh, the horror, panic...fear...!!!
I didnt find it in time. I went back home and search my room. Came back to school and still had no clue where my notes were. So I went to class half an hour early, hoping that someone would come early as well. Luckily, my fren came. Haih. So I spent the 0.5 hr copying hw/notes/etc and tata, when test came...i was sooo ready. Of coz, i still had to redo my hw...darn it! Lost it together with the notes!
TUESDAY.
Today is the day of my first showing. I didnt memorize all my lines. Well, as best as I could, but its not perfect. I totally forget that I was meeting my frenz in Gaylord. I finished class at 1050am in Gaylord, and head over to Adams Hall, which was 10 mins away. Went online and check my msg. Oh my gosh! Meeting in Gaylord. Rush back again. DARN it. Waste of time and energy. Plus, my classmate was late. So we only had 0.5 hr to rehearse.
The play is called PROOF....by David Auburn. My scene is taken from Act one, scene two. The play is something like the movie THE BEAUTIFUL MIND. Except this is in play form and a much less extreme but still interesting. I like it so much I decided to keep the book. Normally, I would sell it on e-bay. But its my favorite play!!!
So anyway, when it was Megan and my turn, we as usual skipped some lines, modify others, added extras, and etc, small little details here and there, that doesnt change the play, and we acted it out so naturally (coz we practiced that way and it stuck) that only those who were doing the same scene as us knew what went wrong and where.
Lalalala. Once our scene ended, the teacher had nothing negetive/all positive :) to comment. Muahahaha. That's coz all the other groups had negetive comments. Lalalalalala. Except, Mr. Jimmy asked me to be more sacastic in the beginning so as to have a smoother transition but other than that, great job. Yes! Sacastic, oh I can be. I was perfectly sacastic during my younger days. Strange how people can change. I am still, but lesser.
I think this is the best comment(s) I have ever receive on a play on the first showing. I mean, first showing is all about finding niches to improve for the final showing and thus, for Mr. Jimmy not to have anything but positive comment to say is really (acc to me), astonishing. Wow.
For the rest of the afternoon, I didnt have the heart to study. I was on cloud 9. Looks like that isnt such a great reason coz I felt so bored I fell asleep at work for a couple of minutes. Snore. Snore.....
The rest of my interesting day summerized here:
1) Watched 2 videos.
2) Thanksgiving dinner by OU couz. Didnt meet her coz its too crowded.
3) Went to Agi/Rami's house. Didnt catch Veronica Mars. Got the jacket and dress.
4) Telling you to seriously go read PROOF. I wanna watch it on broadway if I could. I am so darn happy I had a chance to act from one of its scene, even if its just for class :) Heck, its like a dream come true.
5) It rained today. Wow. OK seldoms rains.
6) Found out I need to change my I-20. Freaking troublesome.
Bisous.

Bball and dumplings
Friday. 11/10
So its been a really hectic day, seriously.
Class, papar and work, Asian Food Fest, Gaylord - msg parties and passing up paper, Gym - walking up steps and later playing basketball. The best I got was 4 shots in the goal, not from the midpoint, but the straight line a few feets in front of the mid-pt. Anyway, that was pretty good considered I never liked ball-games and I thought I sucked it all of them. Besides, I am so scared of catching the freaking ball, esp when its flying right at me. I ducked. Well, since its just me and my frenz, its little less tiring and i get to shoot hoops, which made it in half of the time. Yea...!
Next, Prof. Gui's house for dumplings-making and dinner. First one there at 5:20p.m.? Rmb Potsticker and koreans have round faces and straight eyes, and chinese have eyes that goes down and jap have eyes going up. His daughter darn tall and son shorter and has bangs. He's an artist anyway. Cool. Saw their chicken and watched tv and talk a whole lot.
Go home at abt 9 something and later head over to the old kongos for TKO party. Lousy music until the last half an hour. I mean, really shitty music that is so darn hard for me and my girlfriends to dance to. Totally bad atmosphere coz of the horrible music. There were balloons falling from a net and it has money in it. I got $1.
After that, head on over to Luke's house party. Darn nice. They even had a hookah, but of coz i didnt try it. Muahahahaha. Dont think I would wanna smoke any tobacco thing even if its better filtered.
Came back home, took bath at 4am and tata, to bed at 5am.

Up at 6:45a.m. The earliest. All because of a good cause.
Well, actually, it was compulsory.
Every semester, it is compulsory for all members of Sigma Phi Lambda to be involved in one service project. A few weeks ago, it was some Halloween Party for the kids. Today, it was FEED THE CHILDREN and two weeks later, it will be Kitchen soup (or something named after that sort).
I left at 7:15a.m. to the parking lot across the duck pond (written in the email), which was really weird because there is NO parking lot across the duck pond. Instead, after a call to another friend, we found out it was the parking lot across the stadium. Luckily, we reached Oklahoma city on time at 8a.m. and stood outside the office door, waiting for them to open, only to realise we were suppose to gather outside the factory. *Biong! Knock head!*
A brief description about FEED THE CHILDREN. It is a non-profit, non-govt funded organization that gives out food to underpriviledge kids.
Somehow, I find it a little disturbing that the food consist of a backpack with some writing materials, 2 dinner size packet of macaroni and cheese and a bottle of peanut butter and grape. Hmm, as much as I find the backpack very appealing, regardless of its kiddish color, I still think there should be more food!
So for 4 hours with only a 15 min break in between, I lined up and carried empty boxes to my friends who are putting the bagpacks in them and then I bring it over to a table to be taped by someone else. So basically, my part is holding the box and letting it be filled with 4 bagpacks. Oh, what glorious fun! But its all for a good cause. But despite me being sarcastic, yes, I did manage to enjoy it.
1) Open boxes of bagpacks- one man
2) Taking out the bags - one man
3) Putting boxes into recycle bin - one man
4) Holding bagpacks - 5-10 man
5) Taking out macaroni and cheese and putting inside bagpack - one man
6) Taking out peanut butter and jelly and putting inside bagpack - one man
7) Carrying boxes to put bagpack - 3-5 man. (???)
After 4 hours, my arms were not sore but tender from carrying all the boxes which sides cut into my upper arms, so I had to be careful while holding it not to let it touch my upper arms. For the first 2 plus hour, I was wearing a coat, so that was ok. Later, it was getting warmer so I took it off and sadly, I didnt know the cardboard boxes sides pressed so harshly onto my upper arms. I even got a tiny bruise, because the rest of the time, I was trying to not to hug the boxes (which i did with my coat on), but instead, held it an inch or two away from my upper arms.
Thats about it. We managed to finish 5280 bagpacks. Yea! I am a happy and hungry girl coz there was nothing to eat during break time. Yea. All of us starving.
Next friday, Asian Food Festival. Maybe I will blog about it, if it is anything interesting. MSA is making roti canai. Muahahahahahaha. Yea, we get roti canai from a chinese supermarket and then fry it on the day itself. Will be making the curry a day earlier.
Ta-ta. Not going to tell you everything (just the gist of it).
Bisous,
me :)

Ta-ta. Not going to tell you everything (just the gist of it).
Bisous,
me :)
