between the lines.

January 1st was the most chill day. I woke up late, was lazy the whole day, and went for dinner at a Japanese place named Kuu with my mom’s friends then went shopping. Sunday = driving the whole day then dinner at this new mall that just opened. It is literally full of food. Good thing I was kinda full when I went there. I did so many things on Monday. Day well spent. I had lunch at this really good chicken and rice place in Old Town. It was worth the 45 mins drive. Hung out with some friends in the afternoon then met up with some people from Chapman for dinner at a Thai restaurant called Somtum Nua at Siam Soi 5. I haven’t been there for 4 years because it’s so crowded all the time but surprisingly there was no line today. They expanded the whole place. The food was, as usual, awesome. On the way to the BTS I saw people selling Krisky Kreme. Wtf. I know it’s good, but is it THAT good? I met up with my mom and went to a meeting and met a friend from LA. The people there were really nice.

Tuesday was spent torrenting and skyping. Then I had dinner at Akiyoshi, a Japanese Yakiniku restaurant near my house. My friend was leaving for LA on Thursday so it was kinda farewell. A lot of people went. We ordered so much that I decided to skip out on dessert. I met my best friends on Wednesday. We finally had time to catch up a bit, had lunch, and watched The Tourist. There was a twist in the ending, which had me a bit confused. After the movie I met with another friend and we went to buy some stuff I had to bring back to LA. Then I had dinner with a friend whom I haven’t talked to in so many years. It was nice talking to her for a few hours over dinner and dessert at this restaurant that just opened. The ramen at that restaurant was so good. No wonder they won TV Champion. I didn’t do much on Thursday except I had dinner with my dad’s friends and some friends at my fav Italian restaurant, Rossano’s. They have the best lamb chops ever.

Rossano’s dark chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice-cream.

I went to King Power duty free shopping on Friday. I’m going to Vietnam next week so I could shop duty free. Wee! After a few hours of shopping I met up with a friend from Australia, whom I haven’t met for 5 years o.o He has changed so much. We haven’t really kept in touch so there was a lot to talk about. We went to watch Tron. I was so disappointed. I watched Tron because of the soundtrack, which was made by Daft Punk. The movie was shit. It was so boring. I slept for a bit, and I usually never sleep when watching a movie. I was kinda fed up with Italian food but I went to an Italian buffet on Saturday with my mom’s friends and some friends for lunch. Good thing they served small portions of food so I was able to eat a variety of stuff. I went to the dentist on Sunday and went shopping with my mom for the rest of the day and got a ton of stuff :D I haven’t shopped so much since Black Friday.

18 hours later..

I am finally in BKK! I’m about to die because it is so hot. It is so crowded and there’s traffic and pollution everywhere. Home sweet home. Sigh. Today was a blur. I am so tired. I miss LA already. I have been awake until 8-ish AM LA time. Good night! Zzzzz..

The World Is Flashing At The Window

I’ve been doing papers, essays, tests, and midterms for the past 2 weeks. Last weekend and this week was pretty chill. I still have quite a lot of hw everyday but it doesn’t seem like too much compared to midterm week. I’ve been sleep deprived for the past 2 weeks so this week I finally slept at least 6 hours.

I finally had a chance to really catch up with some of my friends during the weekend. Went to a party on fri night, woke up late, had a good saturday afternoon out to the Block to watch The Social Network, shop, and eat legit Japanese food, went to USC to pick my friend up on sunday morning and went to downtown LA, disneyland in the evening, then class on monday. Weekend well spent.

I came back so late last night but it was worth it. Gonna be back late tomorrow night. I wish I could go to LA on friday night but I just submitted the form for the SCVNGR late night trek thing on fri night.

Steve Aoki is dj-ing tomorrow night at The Grove, which is so near Chapman. ajkfdasljflskja really wish I could go. It would be so dope. I am so jealous of my friends back in Bkk. Benny Benassi is dj-ing next weekend or something and the tix are fucking cheap. Like $16 + open bar. WTF. and I couldn’t go to Benny Benassi here ‘cos it’s friggin 21+.

I was looking at David Guetta tix the other day and I was positive it was $40. 2 days later, it becomes $60 + $5 service fee. what? Also, I really really really like really want to go see Brandon Flowers on Nov 10 in LA. I might go. I’m pretty sure I’ve got someone to go with but I need a ride. $70 for Brandon Flowers. So worth it. He is AMAZING. PURE GENIUS.

Oh, and the title of this post is from “We Never Close Our Eyes” - Scanner. Both the original and remix are awesome, especially the Designer Drugs remix..

JOBS

I have been receiving a lot of e-mails from Chapman. There is so much to do, but so little time to complete what has to be done, since I am leaving for LA in 2 days omg.

1. Finish the microlending assignment.

2. Finish applying for on-campus jobs.

3. Finish verifying and doing that financial stuff.

I just finished applying for 4 on-campus jobs, since I’m on work study. I’m somewhat nervous since I have not applied for a job before. I still have to apply for more on-campus jobs to ensure that I am accepted to at least one job.

I’m visiting Chapman for the first time on August 10th!
