us no more

Remember two posts ago I said "two more quarters to go and I'm already starting to miss them"? Well, turned out there was only one left...

At least the three of us finally got a picture together.
We planned to take physics 4D together with Marasco but it conflicted with math 22, we needed the math more. I still have math 22 to Jonathan and George and math 2B with Oscar. But there's no more us...Even Fors knew we were the trio and in our case, trio - 1 = nothing.

I know I've said this about a billion times now, but I honestly really liked us. Physics was so enjoyable with you guys. I know we have our differences, we get into a gazillion little fights and arguments. That doesn't matter though, at least in my opinion, we were awesome.

I know I said I don't keep in contact with my old friends and I forget them, but know that I will definitely miss you guys a lot. If after a while, we lose touch, understand that it's not because I've forgotten about you, it's because I'm not brave enough to overcome the awkwardness that's only in my head.

P.S. I've been watching Tangled over and over ever since I got it. It may very well be my favorite movie now!

10:52 pm

Noticed I have not posted a blog here for a long time. It's either because nothing has excited me enough to motivate me to write or it's because I've been a little more busy this quarter, for some kind of reason that is still unclear to me at the moment. I'm taking pretty much the exact same classes as last quarter. For some reason though, I'm so much busier this quarter.

I'd like to say that my life's been a whole jumbo mix of little messes, but I'd be lying. I've got nothing on my plate except for school lately.

I have always wanted a secret hide-out place where I could just be there, be still in solitude and no one would find me. I have got this place in mind for a long time, but I haven't been able to track it down until now. I think I have an idea where it might be. I shall go check it out soon. If it is as perfect as I had remembered it to be, it will probably become my hide-out place. Of course, it being a "secret" hide-out place, I can't reveal where it is located. So, sorry to myself in 50 years, when I read this but can't remember where it is, I won't be able to find the answer here.

On another note, Alpha's been good. I took him out of his tank for the first time to clean his tank. He seemed pretty pleased about his clean tank.

Sketch, Fish, and Stuff

This is dedicated to my two physics buddies. We make a good team, in terms of having fun with a not-so-fun topic. In terms of getting a good grade...not so much.

Oscar Suen--the sketch. Birthday: June 22nd 1991. Awesome guy. Easy going and loves to talk. He loves cars, but I don't know anything about cars, so I don't know anything about his passion for cars. All I know is, he loves them. He has the most interesting logic. Whenever we are in a conversation, one thing leads to another, and before we'd know it, we'd end up with a mutual agreement, a conclusion. But about three seconds after we'd reached our conclusion, we'd notice how amazingly sketchy our conclusion is. And after another 2 seconds, we'd agree to stick to our sketchy conclusion. Hence, he is the sketch in Team Sketchy. One other thing about Oscar that makes him the sketch is that he loves to sketch! He loves cars and loves to sketch, so naturally he'd be good at sketching cars. Go look in his physics notebook if you don't believe me. Oscar loves to talk. Bring anything up to him, and he'd use his sketchy logic to turn a 2-minute conversation into a 20-minute conversation. It's generally a very good quality, because it makes the topic at hand seem so much more interesting. But the bad thing about it is that our walk from class to Lot 4 is rarely long enough for us to reach a conclusion. And sketchy conclusions are fun. One last thing about Oscar, he loves God, has a huge heart for his peers, and loves to serve.

Jonathan Hui--the brain. Birthday: August 30th 1991. Another awesome guy. Mean, but deep down, is nice and generous. He is the brains of the group. Not only is he smart, he also works very hard, and studies. He's the go-to guy whenever we have physics problems. He's generally mean to me, and with him, every lab sucks out about 37.9 hours of life out of me. I'm pretty sure it sucks out life out of him too. But don't be mistaken, I enjoy labs with him. He makes sure we collect good data, makes sure we're doing things right, and makes sure we understand stuff, if we don't he'd yell at us until we do. I get on his nerves sometimes, but that's just what friends do, get on each other's nerves. I say that he's generally mean, but in truth, he's very very nice. He let me sit at the smart seat for the first midterm, of course he got to sit there for the rest of the quarter, but still. He helped me with C++ whenever I asked and whenever he could. He bought me my Alpha. Unlike most guys our age, he's oddly thoughtful and careful in choosing words to not hurt other people's feelings. I admire him for those qualities. Jonathan loves fish. He has a whole bunch of them. One betta and a bunch of other tiny fish and a few ghost shrimps. In my opinion, his fish aren't the best looking, but that's just me, he loves them. Speaking of which, he says I'm just like his dad, I guess his dad's pretty cool then. Anyways, underneath all the meaness, Johnathan is really genuine and nice.

I'm so lucky to have such great people to go through physics with. I thank God everyday (okay, maybe not everyday. but, definitely after every lab) for giving me such awesome buddies. We make a good team. Two more quarters to go and I'm already starting to miss them.
