Well yesterday was the first day of school. I went to ee2 and engineering 95, didnt bother with math discussion since it was the first day. Besides i had to look for a pong game for engineering welcome night during that time. Anyways, i'm really bored right now. Last night i had to host a game show for like 300 freshmen. I was on stage asking questions that i wrote up that day to freshmen and made them play pong for the final round. That actually went pretty well. The guy who was in charge of it all he-joon tried his best, but a lot of the whole event kinda fell apart. THe food at least was good from what i hear, since it was all gone by the time me and he-joon were gonna eat. The arcade thing went ok, there werent nearly enough people who showed up, but oh well at least we did end up doing it. I was really tired afterwards, but for some reason i wanted to shower, but was too lazy until like 2:30 am so i just was on the web. I did get my dsl to work yesterday, just had to upgrade the router firmware.

I ended up sleeping at around 3:30 and i had class at 11. I didnt go though, since i was so tired i fell back asleep and woke up again around 1:30. Oh well i really have to work on this. So basically i've done nothing all day. I think i'm gonna eat soon, which probably means jack in the box again. or yoshinoya if i'm feeling spendy. hell maybe i'll have both since i didnt have lunch anyways. I am feeling very broke right now, i dont know how i managed to spend so much money but well i did.

One thing that i did realize is that my palm pilot though it didnt seem very useful, was actually good since it held phone numbers. So now i have no phone numbers and i cant even call people. i was watching tv a few minutes ago. we should watch zoolander. I'll probably be in powell between 1 and 2 tommorrow if anyone cares. i'm thinking about skipping my first ee2 discussion since well we didnt really lecture on anything important on tuesday and the thursday lecture is canceled. One high point of my first day of school yesterday was that there was this cute girl in my ee2 class and she was also in my engineering 95 class. i am still not sure if she went to the wrong classes because something like this has never in the history of engineering ever happened.

Updates have been few and far between. i am on dialup right now in my apartment. i bought a lamp finally, so i have light in my room, but we seriously need to vacuum this place because its a trash hole. We have no beds still and apparently because of the wtc thing, my dad's chp appointment for his 4runner got pushed to october so we are gonna have to borrow a van or something to move my bed in this weekend. We also have no vacuum. Today i went with my friends tim and vishal from 2S who now live in 3S to jack in the box. they have this new junior western sandwich for 99cents. pretty good i'd have to say. Jack in the box is down the street from my apartment... i probably will eat there a couple times a week.

What seems to kinda suck is that i am on dialup but we have dsl. my roomate took the router off, so we need to fix that later. Also for some reason all the phone jacks dont work except the one in the living room. Another thing is when i finally got that compaq laptop it sucked because it couldnt recognize the p3 cpus i had. so i sold it to jason's sister amy and she likes it a lot. I am selling the dvd and port bar and nic card online, which will probably get me $125 or so. So i boughtyet another one and hopefully this one works theway i want. some guy on anands bought some brand new toshiba portege 3480 CTs from his work when they bought out their lease to get new dells. So he sold me for $770 shipped a p3-600 laptop, with 128mb ram (i am upgrading it to 192 which is the max, cost $90 though because of special ram, but i can sell the 64mb i have to take out so not as bad), has 12gig which is more than my current machine, has 8mb savage ix video which is again better than my current laptop should run quake 3 at 50fps. It also has a built in 56k, a 24x pc card cdrom that toshiba sells on their site, and this small binder like case. It even comes with a usb floppy. Only bad thing is the screen is only 11 inches, but i'll just buy a 17" monitor to hoook up to the port bar. Yeah kinda sucks i just sold my 19" also. the machine measure something like 11x10x.8 inches, and weighs 3.2 pounds. its gonna be dope, i'm getting it friday, cant wait. Gonna probably also have to build myself a cheapass desktop to go with my 4x cdr drive i have laying at my house, and use my firewire stuff in it and sell all my casings. I think i can actually build it all for $0 after sellin gmy firewire stuff since stuff is so cheap now.

That laptop with the accessories is worth like $1300 on ebay, so i got a awesome deal. the laptop is actually smaller than my econ workbook from last yaer, and about as light. I also got a free pair of oakley cwires from my cousin, all i had to do was replace the iridium lenses for $40, so actually quite cool. lastly to set the record straight, i asked for a quiet normal muffler, and got a quiet performance exhaust with a chrome tip somehow . Now kyung has me intrigued about getting headers since they are like $250 but i think i'm too cheap for that. Maybe if i sell a couple dozen more speakers.

Well summer is winding down. all the grade school kids are going back next week, and its my last week of work. my friend eugene quit already and is ready for ucla. i'm gonna quit this week, and move my bed and get started on apartment life. Been doing not so much, just hanging out. The other day matt, brian and I watched pulp fiction and got some boba. Saturday i went to move my stuff with a friend and i took her to olive garden. We went to that big nice looking mall off the 405, the promenade, and well they dont really have any shops there yet, so i figure eventually it'll be a half decent place to go. Also drove by the pier, but it was like $8 to park, man what a rip so we didnt go there. As for today i played basketball and for some reason i was sore, but i think i'm in the best shape of my life. But i wanna get in better shape still.

I actualy ended up getting that laptop. I was pretty happy. He threw in a case, a laptop lock, a dvd drive, and a port replicator and a "surprise" for $175. Those probably cost $300 on ebay so even better. I should get it on wednesday or thursday hopefully. Then i gotta sell my old laptop, i figure i should break even or make a little money so not bad. I've also started selling speaker systems online. I hope i can sell a lot so i'll have some money. I've sold 3 so far, which means i've got like 7 sets left to sell.

Well i havent updated in a while so i guess i will since everyone else is slacking. Gonna update to keep the links bars alive... yeah. Basically i'm still just working and doing nothing on the weekends except playing basketball and going out on friday nights. This weekend me , randy , matt and brian went to see jay and silent bob strike back which is a pretty damn funny movie. Afterwards we went to denny's instead of go go juice this time. But we were around go go juice and we saw this riced up prelude. So i was behind it and just revved my engine in neutral. Matt and them said he turned around and looked at us, and it was real funny. So later i just pulled up beside him and he took off like a maniac. It was so funny, i mean i had no chance in hell at beating that guy and i wasnt even trying to but he took off at like 70mph on pch. And we laughed for like 5 minutes. You should have seen that wing, it was massive, hell i think it was 2 wings.

On saturday i went up to westwood to give my monitor to my friend jeremy. He came with his friend chris who is going to UCR as a basketball player. I went with my cousin james, and we played ball for like 3 hours. Pretty fun. Sunday i did like nothing but go to my 2nd cousin's birthday party, and iwas all mad since i got yelled at by my parents for some trivial stupid shit. And today it happened again, since i spilled like some sauce out of my rice bowl at a chinese restaurant and my dad was all mad for some reason and said something like "you need to go to a university to learn how to be stupid". I swear i wanted to throw like a ricebowl at him and just leave. Fuck i was mad. I cooled off later playing ball for another 3 hours, with scott , dennis , the yu's and some other people. Sprained my ankle again, but i'm tough and kept playing.

I am also working on getting a new laptop from anandtech for $650. Its a compaq presario 1700 and with the cdrom taken out it weighs 5.1 pounds. Its got celeron 600, 192mb ram, 6 gigs, 24x cdrom, 8mb rage 128 card, and a 14" screen. So i'm gonna put my 850mhz p3 in it, up it to 256mb ram, and buy a dvd and new hard drive later. So i'm gonna put my extra p3-800 chip in my hp laptop and sell that. The compaq is $650 and i thinki can get at least $900 for my laptop, considering i've got a burner a dvd and two batteries. This laptop is sweet, it looks even cooler, and its way lighter plus the bigger screen. Well i'm gonna take a shower now since i smell like hans' cologne which usually isnt that great.

Small update ish. I just read that HP bought compaq for $25 billion. My dad was pretty happy, the company he is working for will probably expand 3 fold, and he'll probably get paid more. Woohoo
