I went to Dr. Martin's class. Again he talked something else instead. He talked about Hyperplane in R. I was so interested and I asked many questions. (Actually I like more about in Hilbert spaces!) Sometimes, I like him a lot like today cause he opens my eyes and my minds. I think I learnt about a semester materials only in today's class. (He is like Dr. Ruygaarts. He is a horn professor).
I got together with Brian later. I was so proud of us cause we solved a very good question for prelim. After that, I went to talk with my advisor Dr. Ruygaarts. He gave much info of my research. I am glad that I am back on track to talk with him.
I went to rec center to cancel some items for camping since we have only 5 people now. I don't want to waste much money on extra useless items. I also canceled the water tanks because I found out they are quite small.
Afterward, I went to the intrumural soccer game. It was fun even my ankle is not fully recovered yet. This time we had enough players to play and we had a great time. The score was 6 to 3. Well, it means there will be another game next week.
I went home and changed a light bulb in the instrument panel. It only took me about 10 mins to do so. It has not been working for awhile but I was so lazy to change it but I am glad that I took the time today to change it.
Patrick is looking for a car and I told him about my 84 Lebaron. It is an old car but it has been the most reliable car that I have ever driven. The paint is bad but the interior and engine is running so smooth that it is just a car that can last forever. Well, I don't know if he is going to buy it but I just told him if he wants a cheap car. This is the one.

Poem: Be my wings
I have many wars in my life.
Where countless cliffs are awaiting for me to climb.
And obstacles that I have to overcome.
I am the one that I am.
I can't fake to myself.
Nor do I give up my dreams.
Even if I loose myself a bit, I would fall and waste my whole life.
But if Heaven grants me a wish.
I wish you were my wings.
So you can ease my heavy burdens and fly to our dreams.
Where countless cliffs are awaiting for me to climb.
And obstacles that I have to overcome.
I am the one that I am.
I can't fake to myself.
Nor do I give up my dreams.
Even if I loose myself a bit, I would fall and waste my whole life.
But if Heaven grants me a wish.
I wish you were my wings.
So you can ease my heavy burdens and fly to our dreams.

Diary: Study and Sick
Last night I accidentally turned on the fan before I slept (I knew it would happen since fan and room light are using the same remote). I felt so cold the whole night and I got sick. I studied very hard with Brian and I also went to talk to Dr. Pahdu for help on some questions. I could not study more at about 6pm and I went home.
I took some medicine. After dinner, David and I went to Hesitan to read some magazines. I also got sometime to listen to some music at the back room. I hope I will get better tomorrow.
The camping trip has been prosponed to Sunday and Monday. I called Alisa and she told me that she can't come. So now we have 5 people only to the camping trip. I will see if I can return one tent tomorrow.

Poem: Enjoy me as a thing
My new friend lusts me.
And enjoys me as a thing.
I am a fool who sins with him.
Perhaps, love is not the answer but questions.
of the endless pain.
And enjoys me as a thing.
I am a fool who sins with him.
Perhaps, love is not the answer but questions.

Registration, Study, dad, Sika EG6, Leah Dizon, camping trip
I could not register for my summer one classes. The grad. school told me that I was supposed to graduated in this may. Well, too bad I am so slow. I told them to prospone my graduation date to Aug 2008.
I studied so hard in school. I tried to think about the prelim questions more and more. When I was tired at about 4pm, I called dad and mom to chat for about an hour. Dad told me that he got 2 new entertainment centers for all the tube ampliifers. I told him that I will try to get one more amp for him. Even though he said he has no place but I sensed that he really wanted another great amp to compare to the rest. If I can't buy one for him, I may bring mine to give it to him. I think he will have his mouth wide open when he hears the sound qualilty of my beloved golden pilot sa-232 with the sp-210. Anyway, I stayed in my office till 8pm before I went home. I was so tired but I still read more notes online for the prelim at home.
At about 11pm, I was half asleep. I knew I could not read any more. So I stopped reading and looked online about cars. I clicked the link in youtube for sika EG6. It is an very old video. However, I like to watch it from time to time. With b16 bore to 1.8, The sica can fly. I replayed it more than ten time to observe the movements of the car. It is just very well balance and solid. For me, a solid race car is more important than a fast but unreliable car.
I also looked at some japanese protrait photo albums online. I came across with the album of "Leah Dizon". She used to be a car model in the states here. Now she started her new career in Japan. I looked at her album. I was amazed with some pics. The guy who told her pics is great. He tried every single angle to take the pics. He really gives me some new idea and inspiration to take protraits. However, I found out Leah lost her baby face. Well, maybe she lost weight. Or her make up is just too strong.
Tonight I was also worried about the weather for this coming SAT and SUN. They are not looking good at all since it is goiing to have rain and it is going to be freaking cold (34f). I told Yuko and Taka about changing the camping trip to Sun and Mon. I will email everyone tomorrow to ask their opinions about this issue. I hope everything will work out fine.

Poem: You woke me up
This morning you woke me up with your whispering song.
You touched my ears and kissed my cheek.
I was in heaven alike but I was also damned.
Cause I knew you were about to leave.
You touched my ears and kissed my cheek.
I was in heaven alike but I was also damned.
Cause I knew you were about to leave.
Diary: Study, Exam, lost bid on sa-232
Today was a busy day. I was so busy from 9am to 8:30pm. I did most of my work for the week, studied with Brian and Kiomi, and took the numerical exam at 6:30pm. When I am done at 8pm, I went back to my office and did a bit more on prelim exams.
I dropped by the one dollar store and got two 50 feet ropes for the fish cages. I really want to get fish for dinner on camping. I don't like fishing. I think it is not effective but I think with the traps. This is going to work very good. We will see this weekend. I also added "toliet paper" in the to buy list. I think it is way more important than food. Without it, we are going to use our fingers to clean up our number 2.
I tried to put a bid on a Pilot 232 amp (untested condition) on ebay. I put $450. I still could not win the bid. Well, I want to get one more Pilot 232 for myself so that I can give the one I have right now to my father this summer. Tube amps are expensive toys but at the same time they appreciate about 5 to 10% every year. They are very good investment.

Poem: An Angel of God
An angel appears and I behold the glory.
For his face is so bright that he dims the world under his shade.
And his voice is so soft that calms my soul.
He is the work of God.
and My heart melts.

And his voice is so soft that calms my soul.

Diary: Lunch, Almost Crash, Pumping Iron, Kristen and Ray
I got up late today and I found tons of messages on my phone. I went to Quinn's home cause he told me Kristen and Ray were at their place. I knocked on the door for awhile but no one answered and I went home. (It ended they were bbq outside at the back yard).
After I got home, I reheated the food and went outside the front yard to have the lunch. The weather today in Lubbock was so good (warm and sunny). I just love to sit down outside and enjoy my food under the sun. After Lunch, I went to listen to some music and then I headed to see Yuko. I checked on Yuko's car. The alternator is working fine and everything else is also running perfect. Then we changed a new inner tube for her bike. Too bad that someone kicked to the rims and now they are bent a little bit.
I went to rec and met Taka there. Oh, on the way there I almost crashed. I was drive like 55mph on brown field hwy. And the old guy in front of me stopped. I could not stop my car. I down shifted and still my car lost control because of the sand. It kept burning tires for like 1o feet and the raddo stopped right behind him. Anyway, Taka and I pumped iron for about an hour. I did so many uplift and Taka focused on his abdoman. After work out , I went to my office to see Brian to look at some problems in Numerical Analysis. We worked out the 2006 aug paper then we dismissed. He reminded me there is a test tomorrow (thanks).
I went by Quinn and Fanny's home again to see them and Kristen. Finally, I caught them home at about 10pm. Ray was sleeping but I went to the room and saw him. He is so big now. He is like twice bigger than last time I saw him. Kristen must feed him well. Quinn's offered me a good dinner (2 burritos) with milk and ice-cream bar. It was quite yumme and I admired that Quinn has great talent on cooking delicous food.
Kristan told me she and Ray are going to Florida and Hawaii without Jeremey. It seems like this mom started to enjoy her life with her baby. Too bad, they are going home tomorrow. Well, Quinn Fanny and I are planning to visit Dallas after my prelim exam in May. Wow it will be fun.
Alime and Asli backed out from the camping trip. Now we have 7 people including Kumi. It will still be fun. We need to recruit more people. Ken and Yanin and others may go but they will be only doing a one day trip.

Diary: Linda, Camping, Alisa, and Fishing
I got up at 1pm in the afternoon. I called the ABC travel agent and I bought the ticket ($1290) to HK. My schedule is July 2nd to tokyo and July 18th to HK and Aug 26th back to Lubbock. Afterward, I went outside to clean up the frontyard because of the bbq last night. I saw Linda and we started talking right away. David also came to join us a couple mins later. We were laughing the whole time talking about home improvement. David has a lot of big plan but everything is going to cost him an arm and a leg. He wanted to install an automatic spinklers in the front yard ($2000). He also wants to change the garge door ($1200). Cut the trees in our front yard ($600). And more...... I actually got a bit of sun burn after I standed there for an hour.
Later I went to J&B coffee shop to meet Yuko, Taka, Eliza, Karen, Alime, and Asli. We planned to stay in Lake Allen Henry only for Sat and Sun (Too short! I want a three days trip!). We also divided the cooking assignment for everyone. Taka and I are going to be chefs on both Sunday breakfast and lunch. Actually, Alisa is going to join Taka and I to cook on Sunday too. I just met Alisa at the J&B coffee shop and I invited her to the trip with us. She seems like a very wonderful person with lots of experiences about camping. She is also in the human science dept that she knows Damon and Kimball. Anyway, we have 8 people to go to camping with us now. I am so lazy tonight that I forgot to email them the list of personal items for the camping. I will for sure to email them tomorrow morning.
Taka and I went to walmart and checked out the fishing equipment. Since the year pass fishing licence($26) is going to end in Aug, Taka and I decided to get a day pass ($11) for fishing. It is going to be fun. I have not been fishing for a very long time. Now I get the chance to show my kungfu. I am very interested to make a fishing trap to trap fish. I think it is more effective. I need to find out if it is ok here. Taka and I went to Tacovilla on 19th street later. The food was good but cheap and we had a great time of the guys talks there (the environment is clear, nice, and quiet. For me, it looks like olive garden). We talked about everything. (Guys and girls and many other things.) He is like one of my best high school buddies that we can talk anything. He is also going to Hong Kong in summer and stay with me. And we plan to visit china together right after I get my new Hong Kong ID. Wow! I am going to visit tokyo, nikko, Nagoya, Hong Kong, China (so many cities in china that I want to visit .... ) The 2007 summer for me is going to be an endless summer in Asia.

Poem: Caveman
I become a caveman whenever you are around.
I can't talk as if I have never learnt to speak.
I show all my weaknesses like I am naked in the jungle.
I am telling you now is your last hour to be free.
Cause I will bang your head with a club and drag you to my cave.
Not to do a revenge, nor to have a meal, nor to possess, but as a goal.
To show you the devotion of my soul.
I can't talk as if I have never learnt to speak.
I show all my weaknesses like I am naked in the jungle.
I am telling you now is your last hour to be free.
Cause I will bang your head with a club and drag you to my cave.
Not to do a revenge, nor to have a meal, nor to possess, but as a goal.
To show you the devotion of my soul.
