Saturday I slept most of the day. Later that night I just hung out with Paulinna. Sunday I went to temple with family. I saw some of the guys there. I went home and napped. I also ate at home and didn't leave for Norman till almost 8. I arrived at Norman and then put up my stuff. Some of my clothes were still kinda wet because I was in a hurry and the laundry wasn't dry yet.
I left to the Union at 9ish because something bothered me. I hung out with Charlie and BJ then I went to the gym. I just watched people play basketball pretty much and played around with CT and Johny. After that I went to Charlie's and he made me some food. We played with his bow and arrow which is pretty awesome.
I fell asleep in the grudge room. I woke up and saw Johny dressed up differently. It was a nice sight to see someone wear clothes that fit. Today I went to class and stuff. School is still pretty boring but the improving weather is making me feel better. I am now sitting in Beaird's lounge and the same guys are playing the same songs everyday. They're not as good as Paulinna. She is a lot better. Well I will sit here and try to be productive or waste my time or whatever and then I will have chapter tonight. I might work out later today but I am not sure. Tomorrow we have a rush event. I'll update later.

So I Didn't go home..
I stayed in Norman afterall..
I think I left my car door open for a day or so.. so I tried doing the keyless thing and it didn't work. So my engine didn't start when I was trying to start it.. I had to call people up to jump my car. Turns out so many people do not have jumper cables. Good thing Ronny had some.
We went to Riverwind for our guys' night out free $10. No luck for me. Binh cashed out $10 and played black jack and got it up to $35. He later used his own money to play limit hold 'em. No luck for Binh. Binh wanted to use the $35 to double up on blackjack and then play more poker if he won. Hieu objected but Binh did it anyway. He slammed $35 on a blackjack hand and lost. Tsk tsk. He really wanted to play poker.
He made a promise to himself that he was going to play poker for one more time with $50 buy-in and if he got down lower than $20 he will not gamble at Riverwind again with his money for another 3 months as I was his witness. So he played more poker then he lost and got down lower than $20. He used the rest on blackjack and he lost it all. Blackjack is an evil game..
Later that night there was a party at the Commons. Josiah was throwing a birthday party for Joel. Some of us went for a while. They ran out of liquor. I didn't enjoy the beer. It was good hanging out and seeing the DEPsi brothers, nonetheless.
Afterwards we went to Mel's but the places was crowded with stuff laying everywhere and Mel and Thomas were asleep so we headed to Charlie's. I slept in the "Grudge" room. Charlie's bed is very comfortable. I remember waking up and seeing BJ and Dustin coming over to sleep. I kept waking up here and there. I couldn't really sleep. I got up at 9 ish and found Johny awake in the living room. I was leaving and he asked for a ride back to his place. So now I am here and it is 11 am.
Recent Thoughts:
no recent thoughts but I think school has been pretty boring and gloomy. can't wait till better weather and when more stuff goes on. I also think we should look into creating a chant for Taikos.. and I hate being broke. =(

peaches and petals
as far as I remember..
Sunday night Paulinna and I ended up watching Juno. It was a really good movie. I thought it was cute and funny. I think she enjoyed it too.
Monday I stayed home and did laundry. Paulinna stopped by a little bit to visit. Later that day I went to the mall with Hieu and Johny. I bought 2 pairs of socks at Aero. After that they stopped at my house so I could get my stuff to go to Norman. We went to Sooner Mall and did some more shopping. Actually, I don't think we bought anything. After that we had chapter. I don't remember anything after that. I think I may have went to Mel's house.
Tuesday just had class and stuff. We had our kickball event planned for that day. There was some stuff that came up and we ended up eating at CiCi's. I don't remember much...
Wednesday I had my long day of stuff. Our spring roll informational was that night. I had a good time. Some of us played poker that night till 2 or something.
Thursday I just had school and stuff. I am now in a HIST class with Ti for TR. It isn't bad. We had MGC informationals later. No rushees showed up except for one or two girls. The fraternities didn't even present anything but we stayed to watch the sororities present themselves. Later I went to Jimmy John's but didn't eat anything. I just sat and talked with the guys about stuff. After that I went to go play basketball. I went back to my dorm and got some Burger King. I ate it in my dorm. I sprayed some Glade air infusions spray in my room. The scent is peaches and petals.. I like. Mike is back now. I guess I will shower and stuff and get ready for tomorrow. I'm going home tomorrow.. yippee!

First Week of School
Sorry I haven't been making posts lately. I haven't been in front of the computer long enough to write entries. I tried writing yesterday but I forgot my password and keep thinking that I got hacked or something. Well here's what I remember of the last week..
Sunday I went to school but i stopped over at Tony's to give him videos and pics for the rush video. I stayed there for a couple of hours. Saw Loan, CT, and then Tim. It was good seeing them again. Tim and I went over to Melanie's place after that to check it out. People were playing video games and stuff. The internet wasn't working so we went over to Charlie's to watch the rush video. Went back to Mel's and fell asleep.
Monday I had a ZOO final. I didn't do too well but I was still considering if I should take the class again or not. Well.. Monday night played basketball, went to dorm to shower and I think I went to Melanie's. Only a few people were there and I think I fell asleep in the Taiko room. Oh yeah, saw Mike that day. He looks different.
Tuesday I had my first class. It was Anthropology: People of the World. Went there with Trung. I didn't like the class so I'm not taking it. That night we had our first rush event. It was Gotcha tournament. It was pretty fun although not too many prospects came out. Long won the tournament. I think I ended up playing basketball again that night.. I'm not too sure. I think I ended up sleeping in my dorm for the first time in a while.
Wednesday morning I woke up late. I had class at 10.30 but woke up at 10.25. I couldn't sleep that night because I wasn't used to sleeping in my dorm. It was really weird. I went to my class, Understanding Art, and it was pretty cool. Saw Hieu, Ti, Julie, Luan, and Johny, who isn't taking that class. Later that day went to English and decided not to stay in it although CT is in it with me. I just decided to take ZOO because it will fit my schedule giving me something to do on TR schedule. After English I had engineering orientation. It was pretty crowded and fun/weird class. Hope I still get the scholarship money because I NEED it desperately. After that I had a Math class. I don't really like it. I kind of hate it. The teacher is Japanese and is kinda weird because he has this Asian aura about him. Whenever he teaches he has this weird teaching style. It is very Asian because I have never had a teacher teach me math using his styles and technique. When he was teaching how a square root cancels out a square or whatever he says "This guy kill this guy and they disappear." I find it very funny but i just dont like the class. After class I went to Joe's house for our second rush event. It was poker tournament. I saw so many more prospects than last time, which was awesome. I ended up finishing 4th due to poor advice from Tiep and some influence from BC. After that I went to play basketball with Trung, CT, Tim, Jason, and one of the prospects. Trung keeps telling people how he's got this prospect hooked and whatever. Went back to dorm to shower and stuff but ended up going to Mel's. My dorm room was unbelievably hot and I could not stand it. I slept with Hieu in Melanie's room.
Thursday morning Hieu and I woke up late to class. We finally got to class after I found a parking space far far away. Class was stupid to me because its stuff I already went through but I must go through again and it was the TA teaching. She's kinda dumb because she tries to be funny but she isn't. After that some of us went to go eat at Thai Kum Koon. I am getting very annoyed that people keep saying the man that works there is my father. I don't find it funny and feel like punching Hieu or whoever that keeps mentioning it, and I'm serious. Good thing Hieu paid for my meal because my card was declined. Embarassing. Later that day I didn't do much. All I remember was going to AASA meeting and VSA game night. It wasn't bad. I had some fun, especially getting my fortune told. After that I went to go play basketball. Later that night Trung and I ate at Burger King and had a talk until 2.30. Actually, he talked and i mainly listened. I didn't sleep until 3 o'clock.
Friday morning I woke up late again but good thing not as late as the other day. I made it to class on time actually and sat with people I knew. After that class I went to the Union and then went to class with BJ. We have the stupid Strategies for Success class. Damn I hate that class. We even need a textbook for it but I'm not going to buy one. The gay thing is Tony Lee is in there but good thing I didn't bump into him but Olymp did.. hahaha. Poor bastard. Later that day didn't do much. I took a nap in the union. I woke up and saw Emily and Johny. I walked with Johny to class afterwards but it was cancelled. We went to my dorm and chilled but too bad he had work even though he was going 30 min late. I went to work with him and saw BJ. Trung came to pick me up to go to the casino. No luck with our free $10 but he did buy me food. After that we went to sit in for this Art Therapy class. It was actually a fun class but she won't accept sit-ins so we have to wait for people to drop out of it, which I highly doubt. After that we went to the Union and hung out with Charlie. We then got free food and went to Casino Royale thing they had upstairs and tried to win chips to trade in for tickets for the raffle. 1000 was equal to 1 ticket entered. We ended up having like 30 or 40 tickets together but didn't even win anything. After that we went to Andy's birthday party at Vicksburg. I had a good time somewhat. It was good seeing some friends again. Later went back to Trung's and slept then I went home Saturday morning. I slept all Saturday and did nothing. Later that evening like at 7 or 8 my family went out to Golden Palace. The food did not appeal to me although I was hungry. My cousin and her son Bryan was there too and ate with us. They came over because Bryan wanted to come over. He's a funny little boy.
Today is Sunday and I've done nothing much. I watched The Illusionist and party of American Gangster. I went to Wal-Mart to buy stuff and I am about to eat. I think tonight I may watch P.S. I Love You or Juno with Paulinna but we're not sure yet.
RECENT THOUGHTS
I honestly think the college life is kind of dull now. Maybe it won't live up to last semester. I think it is better this way because this semester will be a lot busier and stuff. I think I enjoy being home more than school now.. I'm not sure. There are still stuff I need to solve like how am I going to get money to pay for stuff.. damn. I have also been reading blogs. I think girls think weird. They write all these emotions up or what they think about a person. I don't know. Maybe it is this particular person that has always been like this and now those habits and characteristics have been more accented. It's just annoying to me to talk about a person you don't like without really a good reason. oh well, I guess girls think differently.
Happy 19th birthday to Andy and Mike! Have a good one fellas..
Well... that's all I think. Update later.

a not-so-bad Saturday
Today..
I woke up 11ish and ate spam and eggs with tobasco.. did the norman stuff on the computer such as facebook, read blogs, WoW, and look for movies on joox to watch.. oh yeah, and AIM. I also attempted to study some as i was watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I was in the middle of it at around 5 pm when Paulinna called. I went over to her house to hang out with her so she could show off her wonderful pearly whites because she had her braces taken off on the top row of teeth.
Later at 6.30 we took our brothers to their basketball game. There were two schools: there was Lakeview and then there was Skyview. It was supposed to be Lakeview but they thought it was Skyview. Good thing the schools are pretty much next to each other. We dropped the boys off and Paulinna went to do our thing because we didn't really want to pay to watch. Danny called me to go to Mel's and Thomas's thing but i said i wasn't likely to go. Later we went to watch the 2nd half of the game. I thought my brother's team was going to catch up but they suck. So we went home to paulinna's but stopped at McDonald's on the way because I was hungry and bought the kids ice cream.
We came home to Paulinna's but then their parents wanted to go to Braum's. So we went to Braum's and everyone had ice cream except me because I didn't feel like it. We went back to Paulinna's and we watched Gossip Girl. It was pretty interesting and i went home pretty much afterwards.
Now i am home and about to finish Ferris Bueller's Day Off before I go to bed. There were more stuff i wish i could talk about that happened in between stuff but i shouldn't talk about it. oh yeah, BJ called me a while ago to tell me to go to Mel's and Thomas's place and that Hieu is there and stuff but sadly I'm not going to go.. Now i am waiting for a phone call as I finish the movie.
I am heading to norman tomorrow afternoon and I am pretty excited in a way. Too bad I need to find out how to get money to pay for books and stuff. Oh well.. toodles

Time Flies when you're old..
What did I do yesterday? Yesterday I did not wake up until 1 or 2 in the afternoon. I pretty much did nothing like always. I tried to study for my ZOO final but I'm easily distracted. It is pretty bad that I am home alone and can still get distracted. I was having some friends coming over later in the day. Kevin came over at 4 ish and all we did was talk about stuff, which is good enough for me. Later Tammy came, Quang, Li2z, then Phung. All we did (the guys), was listen to the girls conversate about "creepy" guys and cute guys. The thing is that they were trying to look up certain "cute" guys to see if they were in their classes and it turned out to pretty much stalking. They were talking about creepy guys but then they have become creepy themselves. I am pretty much used to it though. They have always been tracking down guys on Xanga since back in the day. I kind of wonder if all girls or majority of them look up stuff on guys and do other creepy stuff.
Well, enough of discussing that. Later that night we had EXTREME CHARADES!! Too bad Mike wasn't there. I think he is trying to avoid me or something. Charades was interesting. The words the girls came up were perverted and/or disgusting. On the contrary, we males come up with clever words for the girls to play with. The night ended really early because they had to go home and I went to bed. I stayed up watching part of Serendipity and fell asleep early so I could wake up early..
This morning I woke up at about 8. I didn't really sleep well the night before because I kept anticipating 8 o'clock to come around. You could be wondering 'Tan, why didn't you set up your alarm clock?' If you were wondering that, then I would tell you that I left my alarm clock in my dorm room. If you were wondering, 'Tan, why don't you use your cell phone?' Well... I would tell you that 'HEY! My phone was about to die, so I couldn't rely on that.' Well... just in case you were wondering... 'TAN.. Why Don't you charge your phone??' I would reply.. 'My phone charger doesn't work...' If you HAPPEN to wonder how did you talk to me on the phone today for about an hour and it didn't die yet.. i would tell you 'I bought a charger at Best Buy but it is a car charger so that is why I could not charge it at the time...' So anyways... I woke up at 8 and dressed and brushed and washed up. I went to pick up li2z and Tammy then we went to Norman. I dropped them off at the dorms as I attended my appointment and then I got advised. I FINALLY GOT ADVISED!!!! It took a while because there were complications.. I went to the girls' dorm afterwards and watched them clean.. just what girls should be doing.. just kidding. I enjoyed watching them clean, it was quite sexy bending over with rubber gloves scrubbing and all. Binh came up later looking dirty with his scrubby face and messy matted hair. The funny thing was right before he came in, li2z was like "i've got a surprise for you!" and he comes in and I was laying provocatively and he looks at me funny and she says "no, no! not tan!" but yeah, we went to go eat at the couch cafeteria afterwards. The food sucked for what they had, which was nothing. Charlie came and ate with us and we just talked about stuff. After that we went to the bookstore so the girls can buy books. I was looking for the drowsy ass motherfucker but he wasn't working today I guess. We went home to Mustang afterwards. The first thing I did was try to enroll. As of now I am pretty content with my schedule. I might be sitting in with Trung for a class or two. It will be easier if we have a class or two together because we are study buddies after all. I think Ti and I will have a class together. Well.. I finally enrolled.. I am so glad that is over with. This will not happen again.
The night was like always. I'm just watching Friends and trying to study. Paulinna called from OSSM like she does every night. She finally got off her braces today! Well, just her top.. she still has her bottom on. Well.. school is approaching VERY soon. I am very excited for the upcoming semester, with TKO and all... and it is time to step up academically. I'm going to do well and not fuck up. Well.. I look forward to seeing my brothers again. Until then, goodnight!

If you were wondering, 'Tan, why don't you use your cell phone?' Well... I would tell you that 'HEY! My phone was about to die, so I couldn't rely on that.' Well... just in case you were wondering... 'TAN.. Why Don't you charge your phone??' I would reply.. 'My phone charger doesn't work...' If you HAPPEN to wonder how did you talk to me on the phone today for about an hour and it didn't die yet.. i would tell you 'I bought a charger at Best Buy but it is a car charger so that is why I could not charge it at the time...' So anyways... I woke up at 8 and dressed and brushed and washed up. I went to pick up li2z and Tammy then we went to Norman. I dropped them off at the dorms as I attended my appointment and then I got advised. I FINALLY GOT ADVISED!!!! It took a while because there were complications.. I went to the girls' dorm afterwards and watched them clean.. just what girls should be doing.. just kidding. I enjoyed watching them clean, it was quite sexy bending over with rubber gloves scrubbing and all. Binh came up later looking dirty with his scrubby face and messy matted hair. The funny thing was right before he came in, li2z was like "i've got a surprise for you!" and he comes in and I was laying provocatively and he looks at me funny and she says "no, no! not tan!" but yeah, we went to go eat at the couch cafeteria afterwards. The food sucked for what they had, which was nothing. Charlie came and ate with us and we just talked about stuff. After that we went to the bookstore so the girls can buy books. I was looking for the drowsy ass motherfucker but he wasn't working today I guess. We went home to Mustang afterwards. The first thing I did was try to enroll. As of now I am pretty content with my schedule. I might be sitting in with Trung for a class or two. It will be easier if we have a class or two together because we are study buddies after all. I think Ti and I will have a class together. Well.. I finally enrolled.. I am so glad that is over with. This will not happen again.
The night was like always. I'm just watching Friends and trying to study. Paulinna called from OSSM like she does every night. She finally got off her braces today! Well, just her top.. she still has her bottom on. Well.. school is approaching VERY soon. I am very excited for the upcoming semester, with TKO and all... and it is time to step up academically. I'm going to do well and not fuck up. Well.. I look forward to seeing my brothers again. Until then, goodnight!

Dreams, Inspiration, and Motivation
Nothing has happened much in the last two days.. I stayed home and ran errands for my parents and just slept and stayed on computer being the completely useless bastard I am. I attempt to study for my ZOO final but I can't help that I am stupid and lazy. Last night I stayed up until 5 in the morning watching movies like Blow and talked to Andy online. I woke up at 1 this afternoon because my parents were calling me and Trung was calling me. My parents wanted me to go to southside to run some errands and Trung wanted me to go eat with him and people but he mainly wanted the database.
So I went to southside and yeah and then went to Thai Nguyen and saw Trung, Fred, Trina, and Michael To. I ordered some rice and we just talked and they paid for me. Fred wanted a haircut at this place but they had appointments so we headed separate ways. Sorry for forgetting the database!
I remember on the ride home from Dallas Tony asked me what was my motivation for pre-med or whatever I want to do. I believe there are dreams, inspiration, and then motivation. I think there are dreams where there are things we want but it doesn't really seem possible or within grasp but it does seem very nice and ideal. Then there is the inspiration, where something happen and reaches in you and makes you want to make that dream happen. There is finally motivation, whatever it is that drives you through the journey, the thing that makes you feel you are actually reaching towards that dream and it lets you know it is coming reality.
My dreams are to succeed in whatever that I may do. I had dreams to become a dancer, a rapper, a singer, a lawyer, a professional football player, basketball player, tennis player, doctor, poet, songwriter, triad boss, actor, shaolin monk.. the list is just too long to mention.
My inspiration (one of them) was when my grandmother became very ill during this one period and I was at the hospital with her a lot. Although I was with her and tried helping her and taking care of her as much as I could i still felt so useless. That point in my life inspired me to be a doctor more than ever.
Motivation is just seeing the dream coming true at the end of the road. College came around and I did not find much motivation to drive me and i slacked off too much and it begins to fuck me over. Motivation for me now is just realization that I really need to focus in school, if I am given that chance. I really hope they let me enroll and stuff. Tau Kappa Omega is also motivation for me. I want to do well in school anyway but if i don't reach the GPA requirement i would be deemed as a dumbass anyway. Most importantly I have all these great men I am proud to call my brothers that motivate me all the time and I certainly won't let them down. I also want to make my parents proud of me because I have disappointed them numerous times in my life and all they ever ask from me is to succeed and be happy. On my word, I will succeed and will not fuck myself over anymore.
Although I am at this age I still have great dreams. I hope to one day become a doctor, although I am not very sure yet, I would like to volunteer in Africa and/or open a hospital in Vietnam. I also have great dreams for Tau Kappa Omega. I might build the hospital after Tau Kappa Omega. I'll build the hospital on the foundation of 9 principles. There will be this one great room called the Room of the Founders where pictures of the founders are in there. There will be a hallway where there are the different classes and there are pictures of the members. I might want to spread Tau Kappa Omega's reach to the universities in Vietnam. It would be like an underground way that we are taking over the communist government or something... yeah.. that's pretty big crazy dreaming.
Well, that's some rambling. Goodnight.

It Hurts..real bad.
Last Thursday I called people up so we can play basketball at Jackie Cooper at around 2 pm. I took my little brother out and people started coming out. We wanted to play full court but the people there don't let us because they're pretty gay. My brother's friend was there and they played for a while and he also played with other people. He looked pretty bored most of the time though. Some people that came out were Tiep, Trung, CT, Ronny, Fred, Long, Lam, Daniel, Chris, Bobby, CT's brother and more that I can't remember.
I went home around 6:30 pm and then Paulinna asked if I wanted to go to the mall with her, her siblings, and David. I said sure but I was on the way to pick up stuff at the dry cleaners but then I turned around because they were about to leave soon and I didn't want to drive. I went home and they stopped at my house and waited for me as I showered. We went to the mall and saw Andy there and I saw Jason. Basically just walked around the mall then headed home but stopped by McDonald's. David went home and then I hung out with Paulinna until 12:30 ish. I went home ate some food and played WoW for a bit then slept. The next day I went to Norman and then headed to Dallas. I had some new different experiences that were pretty great and ate at Tokyo One and stuff.. we kinda celebrated Binh's birthday. Although there were fun times but there were stuff that came up and made me lose my mood for everything. I went home today but I didn't want to so I drove around for a while because I did not want to be home.. I eventually came home and what had to be done was done..
How am I going to get myself out of this mess...? 2008 is off to a very very very very bad start..

Fiesta!
Today I woke up around noon. About 1 or 2 I ran some errands for my parents like going to the bank and the dry cleaners. I came home and had to go run another errand in southside OKC. It was like 3 or 4 and I went to go get gas at 7-11. I saw Nhi there. I didn't realize it was her until she said hi to me because she was driving a different car. Trung called me up and asked me if i wanted to go to Norman and watch Fiesta bowl with him and some of the guys. He said he was coming down to Mustang for something and he will be in Westbury and pay me a visit and stuff. I was like okay but i don't think i will be going to Norman later. I went to Southside after that and did whatever I had to do and then I returned home. As I was driving on Morgan towards 29th I drove by Trung and he saw me too and called me. So he was going to stop by my house afterwards. He stopped by in a while and we just hung out and he brought his dog in. He tried to get me to go to Norman but I said i don't know because I already had plans and stuff so yeah. Later Paulinna called my house phone looking for me. Trung left to the city and he called me again later to get me to go to Norman. BJ called me later after that and asked me to go to Norman to watch the game too but I said I wasn't going. Around 7ish or earlier Paulinna came by and we watched the game.. it wasn't going off to a good start and she kept being pessimistic about it and stuff saying OU will probably lose and stuff like she always does and I hate it when she's right about it. She wanted to watch Gossip Girls or whatever and she fell asleep during the game at some points, but it's fine =). I ate as she was sleeping and watching the game. She woke up a little bit later and asked for whatever I ate and I got her some food. She's such a fatty.. after that we played some online pictionary game and watched the Fiesta Bowl. It was such a disappointment and not even exciting. After the game Paulinna left and I showered. Fiesta bowl sucked and now I'm tired and have plans for tomorrow... hopefully I will get to hoop it up with Tiep before Friday comes around... sorry hopefully next post will be EXCITING

Cheers!
Happy New Year's!
New Year's Eve I didn't do much. Bryan came over again and watched him for a bit. Took him over to my aunt's at 3 then i stopped by the bank. I came home and pretty much did nothing. I was trying to decide what to do for New Year's. I was either going to hang out with Paulinna, go to Jamie's party, or stay home. Well, it was almost 5 pm and I noticed that Danny signed on. It seemed weird because his flight was like at 3:30 pm to leave for Washington. I IM'd him and asked him if he was back in Washington yet or at the airport or whatever although it was impossible, made me seem stupid. He said that he missed his flight and asked if i could take him back to the airport at 6 pm because he was on standby for the last flight back to Washington. In my heart I wanted him to miss that flight, and I could've done that, but I would have been a big ass. I would've taken him drinking for New Year's and Binh's birthday with me but I decided to be a good guy and pick him up on schedule so he won't miss his standby, if he even if there was a seat available for him. So I was at his house at 6 pm sharp and Emily was with him. So off to the airport we went and dropped him off. I didn't say goodbye to him because I expected him to not have a flight home and that I would have to pick him up later but yeah, I took Emily home and then I went home myself. I was all dressed up to take Danny to the airport but I was sitting at home deciding what I should do. I was going to go to Paulinna's but I felt it was too late for me to go and she had friends over. I didn't plan to go to Jamie's either because my parents were having a thing at home and people were coming over. Paulinna called me and said she decided to go to Ao's or whatever. I decided to call binh and ask if he was going to Jamie's. He said he was at Wal-Mart and he was going to go afterwards. So at that moment I decided to go to Norman, and to Norman I went. Before going to Jamie's I stopped at McDonald's and bought some food because I haven't eaten and drinking on an empty stomach is no good. I went to Jamie's and Trung opened the door. I was like the only person there but it was fine. I sat down and ate and then saw Trung's dog. It is freakin huge for a puppy. Yeah, we just chill for a while and then Binh came over and he start playing Gunbound and WoW. Later more people came and then the drinking began.. I didn't drink much, I just had 2 beers and a couple of shots and the champagne. Binh, on the other hand... hahaha. I drank with my brothers that made it there, which were Trung, Long, Charlie, Binh, Thinh, Danny, BJ, Ronny and that's it I think. I wish there were more Taikos, being it New Year's and Binh's birthday and all. After that the party began to die and people left. Charlie, Binh, and I decided to go crash Phillip's and BC's place. On the way there we got some McNuggets to fill ourselves up. We got to Phillip's and there was BC and Phillip, some Phi Dee girls and other people I don't know. They were playing drinking games like I would expect them to. Phillip showed us the video of BC running around the neighborhood with his naked ass, the one he wrote about in his blog. We left after a while and came back to Jamie's. We went inside Trung's room and looked for Trung as people were sleeping in there. Someone said he was at the lake or something but we looked out in the back and he was grilling some sausage or something.. hahaha it was pretty funny. After that I drove allllllllllll the way back to Mustang. I realized I was pretty sober but driving in the dark with what seemed to be no cars around made me nervous. I arrived home at like 4:15 am and headed to bed and here I am.
Reflecting on the past year.. there were some great memories. Let's just keep it at that.
