Index page of my autobio

“If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them. They’re quitee touchy about anything like that, especially my father. They’re nice and all – I’m not saying that – but they’re also touchy as hell. Besides, I’m not going to tell you my whole goodam autobiography or anything. I’ll just tell you about this madman stuff that happened to me last Christmas just before I got pretty run-down and had to come out and take it easy.” – J.D. Salinger

there are stories that I  have probably told for a thousand times, but these are funny stories/facts that I really wanna share:

1) my 1-month tokyo trip and all my stalking stories

2) how I won$27,000 in Macau in one night

3) How I get drunk in aftergrad parties

4) all my terrifying flying experience…including one-day-in-SF without my luggage.

5) the night I got offer from MIT

6) why my chinese name is a boy’s name

7) and by now I should have already mentioned my bro at some points hahaha

8) how my ears eaten up my earrings due to my extreme laziness

9) i love mcwings and coke, i’m ambidextrous, and my hair was once brown.

10) i would only leave my hair long when i ran into a person that i really love

some trivials ones would be: my uni apps stories (all done in tokyo and hv version for engin/medic/law school) ..my summer job and its interview.. how i lost my wallet recently…my special encounter when clubbing…benz-pao…etc

if you’ve heard all of the above,
congras I am sure you are so bored by me
coz I tend to repeat them over and over again.

The list should go on and that’s why
I really like creating special/random/dramatic moments in my daily life
so I would have 素材 to blog about, to share about.
it may be deliberate but i really enjoy telling “madman stuff” stories,
as much as I enjoy listening to stories from you

holy crap, i’m already..

The Anatomy of Fall09

Remember him?….Yes!! but firstly I have to clarify…
fate bringing us together =queued behind him@ supermarket.
>W< at first im not thinking to buy anything,
but as he was at the end of the queue,
I randomly grabbed sth and rushed to the line, yeah, good job!!!!
and yes confirmed———- he is japanese!!!! woo woo~~

14.o2 – Macroeconomics
A class without final examination. materials meant to be introductory (I guess?). So as long as I am following the recitations, it won’t be too bad. It is a requirement for Finance major.

1.oo — 计算机与工程问题解决导论
A class which requires me to carry my macbook 4 days per week to class. There is in-class programming tasks, a super long problem set per week, and recitation. I am not really worried about the above workload, but there is a final examination for this….as it cross-satisfy my requirement for structural engin and Finance…really can’t screw it up.

17541 — Japanese Politics and Society <3
i love this class!!! totally intersects my field of interest !! no homework no exam no paper !!! just discuss sth that I am familiar/want to be familiar with. It is one of the best time to take this course as they inserted many up-to-date LDP/DPJ election stuffs on it. its 2-hour long but i totally don’t think it is long. It is requirement for my japan internship 2010 program.

1.o5o – Engineering Mechanics <3
exam coming up on Sept 21 (!) I LOVEE this class, not only becoz the professor and TA are handsome and charming, i love it is challenging but not impossible, a do-able challenging class. With only 3 lectures, we learnt to quantify –atomic explosion, 911 collapse, periodic folding of discrete materials, robustness of skyscrapers, nanoidentation, ways to cook a turkey (?), longest span of a bridge…etc.

1.o18 – Earth System
boring. the same professor, the same slides, the same content, the same lines as my Intro Bio class …and what’s worst is we have to write a EE-length long term paper for that…topic due in 2 days, and yes I havent even think about it yet.

1.1o1 – CEE Lab Design
loooong 3-hour class, though only meet once a week. this class is quite practical … learnt shop-drawing and some steps on conceptual design. well, we’ll see.
