Tuesday,Nov 29 2005, 12:10:16 AMTahoe Trip

This was the best 2 day 2 night trip I've had! It was also the happiest time I've had in a while. I'm also glad that everyone else who went on the trip with me can also say the same thing. =) I love you guys so much so much. Will post pictures later today/tomorrow! [Update: pics are now all posted! View on the left!] We "unofficially" started our trip on Friday afternoon. We started by picking up the first few people and the rental car. Jerry and I picked up Winky and Evera first. We got our mini-van from SF, picked up Huggin, and then went to dinner. There was this thanksgiving hotpot event at a fellowship in Milpitas. I think it wasn't anything different from other fellowships, just that this particular hotpot event had really good food. After dinner we went to pick up Jacky and then headed for Davis. At Davis we picked up June and William and we were ready to go. Our "official" start time of the trip was about 12~1am -- that was when we got everybody on the car. This was not only the first time I drove a mini-van (and for a long distance all at once); it also was the first time I drove in snow land. Not a bad combo to challenge my driving skills >=) At the end we got to South Lake Tahoe safely, so I think I passed. =) Originally I was only going to drive from San Jose to Davis and then let Jerry take turn and drive to Tahoe. But Jerry had accidents driving in narrow hill roads in the dark before and didn't feel comfortable driving in that condition, especially with snow. So once we entered the mountain roads (after Folsom and Placerville basiaclly, on 50-E) we switched again and I finished the remaining drive, which turned out to be around 4 hrs instead of 1. I anticipated it to be 1 hr (I've never been to Tahoe before) because on the map it looked like short distance, but it was all mountain roads so we couldn't really go any faster than 40mph at any point. So instead of getting to the hotel at 2am we got there at 5:30am instead. The hotel office was closed so we had to spend the night somewhere else until 8 when it opens..... but Tahoe was the state borderline between CA and NV, and what that means is, casinos. A casino, being a place that opens 24/7, is naturally our next stop. We spent the time walking around gambling tables, lying on the couches for short naps, etc. until 7:30 we got to the hotel to check in. We then slept for 4 hrs and got up at 12 and started our Saturday. As for the day, we couldn't ski like we planned to because the snow was still too thin at this time. We semi-expected that before coming, so that's okay. As for what we did and where we went instead for the rest of the day, I think I'll let the pictures speak for itself when I upload them. =) At night we went to the girls' room to play games. After pictionary, slap jacks, etc. we had some pretty exciting Killer (Mafia) games. We ended up going to bed at 3am or so. On Sunday we got up around 11 and got ready to check out. As for what happened in the day time, I'll let the pictures speak for itself again. =) We went back to Sac for dinner and started dropping people off in Davis and SF. So yeah, pictures coming really soon =)

from a friend's blog. read to the end.

解讀女人的語言

女人的語言 是一種獨立的語系
女人口中說出的話 不能用一般世俗的見解來判讀
25年來 我靠著資料的收集 生活週遭的觀察
以及自身種種慘痛的經歷和不幸的遭遇 才稍微能解讀一些
在此作心得交換 順便拯救正陷於迷惑中的男人們

我想我真的不適合你(or我覺得我們不適合)
---解讀:我根本就不喜歡你
我需要更多一點的空間
---解讀:沒事不要出現在我勢力範圍
其實你人很好
---解讀:我不想跟你在一起
其實你人真的很好
---解讀:我真的不想跟你在一起
其實你人真的真的很好
---解讀:我真的真的不想跟你在一起(依此類推)
你的條件真的很好
---解讀:你的條件真的還沒好到我想要的地步
他們都說你條件很好(or他們都說你人很好)
---解讀:可是我從來都不這樣覺得 要煩去煩他們啦
你真可愛
---解讀:你真幼稚
你真的很可愛
---解讀:你真的很幼稚
你真的是超級可愛
---解讀:你真的超級幼稚(依此類推)
我暫時不想交男朋友
---解讀:讓你當我男朋友 我寧願暫時不要交
我不想傷害我們之間的友誼
---解讀:我們之間也永遠只會有友誼
你這樣讓我感到很尷尬
---解讀:你讓我強迫自己說我不想說的答案
我心中牽掛著一個人(or我已經有喜歡的人了)
---解讀:那個人是我特地虛設 用來擋你這種蒼蠅
我們現在的關係很好阿
---解讀:你跟我是不可能會有更進一步的關係的
我從來沒想過這個問題說
---解讀:因為這根本不可能......
我不適合當個情人
---解讀:我不適合當"你的"情人
給我一點時間考慮好嗎?
---解讀:我需要時間想個拒絕你的好理由
我們的距離太遠了
---解讀:都躲這麼遠了 你居然還煩的到我
我不值得你花時間等我(or我不想綁住你)
---解讀:你等我越久 我就得應付你越久 煩死人了
可是我覺得這樣很怪
---解讀:而你就是這些怪異的根源
你覺得男女之間有純友誼嗎?
---解讀:有 而且我要你知道我們就是足以證明的例子
你的好我會永遠記得在心裡的(or我會永遠記得你)
---解讀:我要把這些不堪回首的往事永遠封印在我記憶深處
我實在沒有勇氣接受你
---解讀:要接受你這個怪人實在需要莫大的勇氣
我覺得你很乖耶
---解讀:我覺得你是個還沒斷奶兼沒種的怪胎
如果我們早一點認識就好了
---解讀:如果我們不認識那就更好了
我們可以先做普通朋友
---解讀:其實我希望你繼續扮演你的路人甲

還在努力嗎?本來還以為自己很有希望嗎?
其實她已經當面拒絕你10次以上了 再黏下去不過是惹人厭

還想用時間換取空間?用真心感動她?以為有毅力就能成功?
投資報酬率太低了啦 而且低得離譜 還常常得到反效果

認為真愛就是 無條件 默默地 爲她奉獻 爲她犧牲?
認為她能幸福就好 即使自己在別人眼中只是小丑也沒關係?
認為自己不同一般凡夫俗子 是高尚的 懂得那就是愛的真諦?
告訴自己不能輕易動搖 要堅守現狀 寧願相信自己
也不想相信這個來路不明 叫什麼隱藏角色的怪人說的話?

放心 過幾年 你就會自己開悟 了解當初的行為是多麼的愚蠢
然後一邊罵著髒話 一邊想盡辦法找到這篇文章
捶著螢幕大喊:"對不起 我那時年輕不懂事 原諒我 我錯了"
並留言 補充我沒寫到的
是你自己用血淚解讀出來的------[女人的語言]

i posted this not because i agree.
i posted this because i disagree.
guys.... just stop being bitter.
the moment you stop being bitter and being a jackass writing bullshit like this, is when you'll find somebody for yourself. oh, and stop going for crappy girls would help.

Tuesday,Nov 22 2005, 05:48:19 PMagum

searchng for agum.com on network solutions:

Similar Available Domain Names
The following similar names are available:
fagum.com
ultragum.com
winnagum.com
evagum.com
iragumberg.com

now... okay. those are all pretty funny on their own, and i'm surprised that network solutions can come up with such interesting names instead of just like "e-agum" or "i-agum" or that crap like joker.com or even netsol in the past.

but, i can understand the other ones. "fag", "ultra", "winner", "ever/eva", those are pretty common words. but..... iragumberg? can someone explain "iragumberg" to me? how on earth did it get into the suggested domain list when i search for "agum"?

Thursday,Nov 17 2005, 02:38:42 AMsanta clara trip

came down to bay area yesterday after getting off work. i also took June here with me so that she and Jerry can hang out.

in the short 1.5 days, i met up with so many old friends in san jose area!

came down and met up with Jerry, and then after dinner i went to Quad's place for some gaming. short game session, since it was already 10:30 when i got to his place. i should've known.... normally i get off work and go back to davis, after dinner and shower it's already like 9pm. add in the hour or so driving down to San Jose and getting lost in the process and so on, 10:30pm makes sense. then i saw Jerry's housemates Arthur and Wyman when i went back.

the next day, after a series of training classes in the morning, i had lunch with the old friends that i met back in Oregon trip. Jeffrey, Kevin, Amy, Cheralin, Esther all came! (i really like it when everybody i asked is able to come) the girls are cute as before.

after the afternoon training i went to Intel Museum at the santa clara site to check it out. a pretty neat place.

dinner last night was at some china town/mall kind of place. it reminds me of the Diamond Plaza in LA that i went to last time, when me and Eric group went to SB/LA/LV in the summer. the whole place and probably San Jose in general kind of makes me feel LA-ish. people dress so nicely (comparing to crappy Sacramento). and i like all the shops in the china town mall. however, one characteristic of San Jose is that everything is so damn expensive. dinner at a malay restaurant costed us $13 each and we weren't really even full. gas there is ~$2.6/gallon (cheapest) while el cerrito is at like $2.2. even within intel, the cafe lunch is so expensive -- $10 for that stupid pasta and soup meal -- something i could've gotten at folsom's cafe for probably ~$7. crazy..

overall, pretty good trip.
