My Summer Vacation So Far:

I went back to KV on Friday. I think that only Ray and Lou knew I came out. Uhm on my way to Lou's house, i saw junpin and we ended up going to colemans. we played a singles, this big/chubby-ish guy came, he beat junpin, i had next and i beat him, junpin came in after for rematch, and junpin just kept busting that nigga's ass over and over again after that (like his score each time got lower and lower). afterwards, i went to ray's place (cuz i was supposed to go with him cuz he had to buy belt and stuff) and junpin came too. so we went, came back, i saw some ppl at cherry, played ball, i went home to eat, and i think i came back down and we played ball. i think rachelle was out and so was everyone else? haha i showed her my spiderman finger roll LOL. omg i was clapping OD today. like i was cocking the ball back b4 when i clapped and stuff. i kinda did a cock-back two handed too. oh babyy. OHH YEAH and i think im going on a cruise on the 18th of July. oh baby.

Saturday: HAPPY JULY 4th.!!!!!!
The fireworks this year weren't at seaport (instead they were held at the hudson river), so we weren't able to go on the roof and watch the fireworks this year . (laughoutloud i haven't done that smiley shit in madd long). i think july 4th this year, we just hung out, played some ball, and yeah. I think rachelle's brother was here and he played a game with us. and i couldnt bring cecilia to the roof to watch the fireworks this year (she wasnt here last year cuz i think she went shopping with my aunt or she was at brooklyn) and i think she was a little disappointed.

Sunday: Happy Birthday Congfei.!!!
They made last minute plans and we went to eat at buffet in flushing. There was some confusion about buffet changing owners and there actually being 2 buffets and yeah. i was OD worried cuz i was madd broke (only $20 left to spend). but congfei said he would get my back if i needed. so it was congfei, andy, kim, ray, kwan, junpin, jimmy, kevin, jeff, and me. we split up transportation fares cuz no one really 50cents lol. ray was talking to me about whether or not he should go and be the best man at his uncles wedding and how he was the oldest and stuff. Buffet was alright. we were talking about how to get expensive stuff and not getting stupid stuff (like jeff who got fried rice and chicken wings last time LOL). i got madd sushi and stuff hahaa. and i tried taking pictures cuz no one brought a camera. andy was being mad funny and saying mad stuff lmao. uhm there was sumthing about all of us chipping in to get a cake for congfei if he wasnt planning to get a cake, but it turned out that he was getting a cake lol. and yeah it was great. i had sushi, peking duck (havent had that in madd long), and a bunch of stuff (including fruit and ice cream!). and all of that stuff and i only paid like $13 for the buffet. surprising right? cuz it was lunch and also it was 50% off so oh baby i was ballin. we played some pool afterwards (nigga, all of those times i played at kevin kam's house werent enough to make me good enough at pool laughoutloud). and pool wasnt that bad either. i was SCARED that i would have to pay OD, but i guess not. we had to go back at around 5 cuz congfei had to go somewhere and i had a curfew and etc etc. ray, andy, and kim left b4 we did tho (ray had to go to uncle, andy had work, and kim had to go with him?). we went home, i had to eat dinner, and i was planning to stay home that night (cuz i didnt come home for lunch and stuff), but congfei was having his cake and so, i came down (i was supposed to be watching my cousins at cherry lol?). yeah we took pictures (for the Summer Album 09) and we had cake (ice cream cake babyyy). then we went out to cherry and we played some ball.

Monday:
I hung out with lou for a little bit and i found out that my facebook got hacked (kinda) and my "username" was aznskilled207 (JIMMY WHERE YOU AT? laughoutloud). but nah later i found out that it was because i signed on facebook at ray's house last time and i forgot to log off. damn.
People were at work (jeff, junpin) and yeah? jimmy, ray, and i went to rec center to work out. i had to get my card for rec center, we waited a little, went back in and we could use the fitness room. after a little working out, kevin joined us. and we were working out and stuff. YO that sit up was madd beast in a good way. ray adjusted it so there was madd incline. and damn i had to start the situps a little after i got on the machine cuz the blood would all start rushing to my head if i didnt LOL. but not bad, i like the incline. afterwards, we borrowed a ball from the rec center and we were playing ball at smith with those double rims. it was me and kevin VS ray and jimmy. they won first game and we got rematch and won that one.
Later, we went back to cherry. i saw billy, played him one-on-one, he beat me, don't worry ill win next time. i was supposed to go on the water taxi with lou and scott, but i got held up at cherry cuz (leif or how ever you spell his name) wanted to play me one-on-one and i let the game drag on until he had point game and i had 4 points and as a result, i had to catch up and win cuz i didnt want to lose to him (shooter baby). afterwards, i went to gills to get drink and i had to find lou and scott. they were going to computer place for lou's relative etc etc. and after that, we finally went to water taxi.
O.M.G. the water taxi was sooooooooo much fun.!! we almost missed it, but we made it. it was air conditioned inside and scott went to the top (we kinda stayed on the lower, indoors part even though we wanted to go to the top). I was taking pictures and having fun. muchh. OH and there was some sort of accident or problem and there was madd noise and etc etc. so we finally arrived at Ikea and we were checking out the totally pimpin furniture. and we ended up missing the 6:20 taxi and i ended up being late for dinner. THE FOOD AT IKEA IS MADD CHEAP. $0.50 for a hotdog and $1 for cinnamon bun. oh baby. we should just go there next time to eat hahaa. while going home, we saw the taxi and the sports car for the filming of that movie (i forgot the name). so i got back and i decided to not go out for the night and just stay home. i was helping jeremy with his hw and then my mom told us to go outside? yeah. i didnt even play that much ball really and i ended up going home madd late. We were just chilling and i was talking with ray and jeff. jeremy didnt finish his hw and he was staying up to do it, but grandpa woke up and told him to sleep.

Tuesday:
I had to go back to long island today. ughh. i ended up staying home to whole day. i got a haircut (my hair is OD short right now ughh), i went with my grandpa to pick up cecilia and jeremy from summer school (they were held up cuz jeremy didnt finish hw and cecilia didnt have one of completed hws in her backpack), we got pork and rice from that place on grand (mmhhmmm it was good), and we just stayed home after that (they did their hw and i was drawing). and later junpin came over for a little bit. and after dinner i had to go back to long island (ughh).
I heard about beach plans and six flags. they planning to go to the beach on sunday. i hope i come back in time for the beach. me and cecilia were talking about how i took like 200 pictures in just a few days (i had like 600 when i came out, and now i have like 800 sumthing) laughoutloud.

chemistry regents today. it was pretty basic (haha chem humor) and yeah. i didnt really prepare, buhh it was what i expected. oohh i got stuck on a mult.choice quesiton about which reaction was spontaneous. but after like an hour of thinking about it and having the long anticipated "In-Test Chemistry Enlightenment", i ended up picking the correct answer. im not sure if i made my answer too general for one of the short answers though.

i actually didnt see Carmelo Hello today, so i guess no sign there. there goes the rest of my sophmore year ready to pass me by. uhmm i had the nike bag/ass pack thing going on today. uhm i had that Music Man thing going on today. it was cute. uhmm Senior Breakfast today so thats why i was hoping and thats why i think this was my last chance. i finished drawing the picture for the chem evaluation first (at cafeteria cuz i couldnt be in the lobby cuz of senior capping or w/e and stuff) and i sat with kevin ng at his table ( frances was sitting on the table next to the one i was sitting at?) and yeah did the evaluation. next i went down to art to see mrs.proto, and when i got there she was on the phone (but at least she was there cuz she wasnt there earlier). then, a senior girl came in (celina lee) and she had something (present) to give to mrs.proto....i offered for her to go in first, but she told me to just go first? so yeah i went in and asked mrs.proto for ruler, and advice on the basketball piece i was doing (cuz i was having trouble drawing the right hand) and she told me to practice on see-through scrap first and so i dont OD on the sketch paper. and she told me to us softer pencil to get more values and some more shade on the back where it looked like i erased for the white? uhm after while i went to get some lunch with marcus (cuz he was with me) uhmm i went to wash my hand and i was all cool with the music playing haha. i remember i went to lobby real quick after washing hands to see who was there and teseegue briefly looked at me and I KNOW she digged.

uhm what else.....well after eating i went back to art and worked in the drawing. i actually ended up being late to the test cuz i couldnt find E31? buhh yeah it was all good. OH YEAH and i signed rhoda's yearbook and we took picture? wow its hitting me soo hard that im going to be missing alot of the seniors. sighs.

level 26 (almost 27) on my new maple character.!
anyway,

okay uhmm research fair today. i was pretty stress out cuz i didnt know my part(s) 100%, like i wasnt too clear about the future research section that i was supposed to talk about? AND my research logbook was an OD mess. i did not update that shit for like a month. after the short a.p. lang meeting today afterschool, i got home and i began to work on my logbook. i actually did not finish it at home, i was in a rush to take a shower, (i bought my suit yesterday), and i quickly put together my outfit and i was out like zoom. i ended up doing entries of my logbook little by little during the first awards ceremony, and i still didnt even finish it laughoutloud? kevin leung said that they didnt look at his logbook last year.? and yeah they didnt look at my logbook this year so yeah i kinda got lucky there. so the time came for the presentations. we got a judge right off the bat (ms.prince?) and we were slightly offguard, but we didnt let it show and got to out feet. it went decently (although i messed up and said "demersum cytophyta", which was the wrong name cuz switched lol). buhh yeah it went okay. i wasnt sure if the tanks of symbiosis was the right thing to say when she asked me the question. anyway, it went pretty decently. our second judge didnt come until like almost everyone was finshed. he seemed pretty chill and friendly at first, and then afterwards he showed his real colors as a biology/ecology professional lol. he was like drilling us with the questions and damnn. buhh i think it went alright. our matching bow-tie outfits was good, cuz it looked uniform AND we distinguished ourselves from everyone else. props to dan for the bow-tie idea. and i dont think we would have gotten the same result if we wore regular ties. we were a little off guard from the second judge too, not only cuz he actually knew his stuff, but also because we had to wait for so long b4 we presented again. so after we were done, we were tired and etc after waiting so long and we went to auxiliary gym and chilled for a little bit, talked about stuff/what we did/about the judge(s). soon enough after, we had to report to auditorium for the awards. we honestly did NOT think we were going to get anything. and when they called zaki's name (the second group to be called), i was SOOO DAMN HAPPY AND EXHILARATED. i didnt even hear my own name being called laughoutloud. and yeah we got that first place ribbon, along with like 2 or 3 other groups. it felt good to get that ribbon, cuz it felt like this year in research meant something. like all of those times that me and dan had to stay up late at night finishing papers and stuff actually counted towards something important. it was an excellent way to wrap up not only the research year, but the school year in general (cuz after today, our school year is basically done). i almost want to do research again next year cuz of the first place ribbon we got. it would be cool if we could/would team up again for ROMHAS or sci.congress next year. like im honestly considering it now, buhh yeah idk. anyway, im proud of our group and it had dawned on me afterwards that we really did present ourselves very professionally. it was a great jump from our in-class presentation to today, and it was very necessary for us to take that step forward (esp. me because i could not live with myself if i let my group down again). i think it was good that we handled the achievement professionally too, cuz it would be mad fucked up if we went around gloating and stuff. and of course, there was no way we couldve topped the sci.congress ppl and if they could get awards for tonight (they got different awards and they didnt count just b/c they were already in sci.congress) they would have of course topped us. anyway, great job to all, it has been a long, tedious, and successful year.
