Hey, whaddup my buddies?

Things are going well in graduate studies... takin' them exams, and doin' them homeworks.  Hope everyone is doing well.

The main reason why I'm writing this entry is to talk about GLOBAL WARMING.  I'm not usually an environmentalist type of guy..., but recent reports and research show that "this time, it's for real"  (in movie announcer voice.)

Recent developments, events such as heat waves, serere droughts in Australia, some ice-shelf melting, are new causes for convern. Along with the world highest temperature from the last 10,000 years... the major part of the temp. incraese in the past 30 years... The number of category 4 and 5 hurricanes has doubled in the last 30 years, etc. etc.

Well, the good news, they say is that it can be stopped.

Basically, since most of you are getting into your carrers, and starting to make some real money now thinking about buying new cars, I suggest that everyone BUY ONLY HYBRID CARS!  they have like 10x less co2 emissions that regular or something like that.  besides, the civic hybrid looks pretty cool too.

Took The  Amtrak Form Orange County down To San Diego.  View from the way back. How bootiful!


Lena with her classy pose, treated me to this nice Italian restaurant in L.A... after I drove her to all these interviews... SIGH.



::::::BERKELEY TRIP:::::

Went Karaoke with Maui, Lanie, and Erika. good times at the Fillmore!


Me staying over at lil, Henry Chan man's apt. Thanks dude for letting me stay over at your place. You d' man!


Hangin with Erika, and some Cools people and some Hong Kong people..  Those two nights were pretty memorable.  Thanks for everything Erika!! I owe you BIG time (sorry for the eyes closed picture though).lol


The Beautiful ladies of the College of Engineering. Congrats again!


Me and my good friend, and  college roommate of 4 years, Wei. I dunno what was going  on with my hair-do that day.

It was really foggy the second day, and it gave the whole place an enchanted feel.

Shanghai Summer time... 
It's super humid over here. and a bit hot.

Where to start... man...
Over here I am:

1) Learning Chinese
2)Doing engineering internship with crane grab-loader-unloader touch screen panel interface at Shanghai Maritime Univ.
3)Practicing my Kung fu at the LongWu KungFu Center.
4)Socializing. =)

First of all, much love goes out to all those special people out there in Cali.

I'll be back August 5th, to my hometown, and then back to Skool  August 23rd.
 
pictures soon. Lots of socializing pics... ha ha.

It's now official.  After months of anticipation of all this graduate stuff, I am now officially going to be attending USC starting this Fall!!  M.S. degree.

In the meantime, I am planning on going to Shanghai, China to learn some Chinese, and hopefully find an internship (prolly June)!  Going back to my heritage, so to speak.

While I'm there, I hope to spar against some Chinese kung fu guys over there, and see how they fare against Chinese American Kung Fu Style~(me using my wing tsun).  I bet they're pretty good, but at the same time, I heard about the China's youth obesity problem, because of too much newly expanded McDonald's over there and all them kids eating too many McGriddles and the too much studying they do.  So maybe I might end up sparring against some plumpy guy.  We'll see.

DID YOU KNOW...

in a recent worldwide survey, women consider Valentine's Day the most important holiday of the year, after Christmas.

no wonder they all get emo around this time of the year....   ( jp..)

I wonder what causes it all.
