Let us begin the Disneyland blog:
Got up at 8:00, Josh calls at 8:15, says he needs a ride because his mom did not feel like waking up
So I grabbed my mom and drove to Josh's, then gave Josh a ride to church... is that legal? Not sure, but I told my mom it was so yeah...
Anyways... Josh thinks I drive like an old decrepit lady, because I drive too carefully... a back handed compliment if I ever heard one..
Got to church at 8:35, everyone was already there!!!!! Since when are Asian people on time!? BAH! Haha... anyways, trustworthy Tiffany Wong rolled in at 8:40 so we weren't the uber last ones... on our way to Disneyland we stopped by Von's to buy lunches so we wouldn't have to spend/waste our money at Disneyland where a bottle of Coke is $2:75... I bought some sushi, for the car trip, a loaf of bread, and some roast beef for lunch.... in terms of drinks, I originally purchased a six pack of bottled Coke, but the checkout lady found out that we were going to Disneyland and yelled at me for not buying water, because Coke just makes you more thirsty.. so I bought a six pack of Aquafina with Tim, since it's two six packs for four dollars....
Nothing much happened on the trip to Disneyland..
Parked at Doland something or other... I like that new parking structure..
Disneyland did NOT dissapoint
I was laughing the whole day... nothing too spectacular, but a lot of little things.. for example...
I had to to push and shove and drag Naomi, who was screaming and kicking to go on Space Mountain... and then afterwards she was like shell shocked and I kept telling her to just admit she liked it and she kept changing the subject so I let it drop... then after like ten minutes out of nowhere she's like: "That was fun!"
Tiff Liu thought some guy was wearing a hat and she told us to look... and it was a boy sitting on his dad's shoulders..
We saw some Chinese people with a REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY cute baby... and Tiff Liu was like: "Yeah that baby is cute... but they're such fobs!".. and I was
like: "Tiff watch what you say because they speak Chinese" (I heard them speaking it) and she was like: "Ta men xi FOBS!"...... hahahahahahhahahahaha
Little boy gets head stuck between the railing at a ride... that was funny.. but sad...
Naomi tries to toss me a bag of something and whacks a girl in the side of the head, this little cute girl like probaby 5-7... hahaha.. and then Naomi started laughing too! Evil Naomi!
Near the end of the day, we all tried doing some "moves" on each other... hahahahahah... I used this one on Timmy and I ended up holding his hand... and then after a couple seconds he looked and was like: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and ran away... Josh on the other hand looked and kept holding my hand.....
After she got broken in on Space Mountain, Naomi was still afraid to go on Roller Coasters, but we forced her to and after EVERY ride she was like: ".......... Is that IT!?"
Highlight of Disneyland was the River Cruise, because we got this really sarcastic guide... sooooooooooo funny... hahahahahhaha
WHOA!!!!! Almost lost the whole blog up to this point by clicking on some link... haha... scary!
Anyways, got to try some new rides at Disneyland...
The Storybook Canal (uber boring)
Alice in Wonderland (not bad... that hedgehog does NOT look like me)
Splash Mountain (fun fun)
Mr. Toads Wild Adventure [freaky as HELL, (pardon the pun, you end up in hell at the end of the ride)]
Dissapointments:
THEY CLOSED THE CAROUSEL!
We saw a swan crap! (We were throwing bread at it and it crapped as it ate..)
THEY CLOSED IT'S A SMALL WORLD!
Anyways... awesome day was yesterday... tonight should be fun... Lau's are visting BOL... Kim's first time... Hopefully Angie will come... and I'll give Kevin a call...
I'm hungry.. time to continue lunch... this stupid blog took over an hour... hahah

Fun fun day!
I woke up at 11 but went back to sleep... didn't sleep too deeply because I knew I would have to get up to go hang out at Kim's house... had a weird dream... I was drving my Odyssey, only it was Kevin's...*EDIT FOR CLARITY* I was driving my own gold Odyssey but for some reason Kevin owned it */EDIT FOR CLARITY* .... and he was sitting shotgun... and then I was in the left lane... and some car veered from HIS left lane into our lane and hit us head on... then when I woke up at 11 I was thinking about the dream... then fell back asleep... and dreamt that I woke up and told Kevin about my dream... then I REALLY woke up... dont' remember details of what was said... but to sum up it was surreal....got up around 12:10....got IMed at 12:40 saying that Kevin was already there... so I quickly dressed and drove away... stopped by Tapioca Express to bring the Lau sisters some peach black tea with boba and a 99 cent boba milk tea for myself... then I went to Subway and got a 12" Meatball sub... delicious... Angie lectured me about Subway because once they dropped food there and tried to put it back in her sandwich but her mom caught them so they gave her a free sandwich... yum yum yum.... after much conversation and other various fun at Kim's house, I went home... GOT VIRUSED BY ARTHUR! which he will DIE for on Friday... hopefully Kim will be there to watch... haha.... so I spent 30 minutes fixing the virus, and making sure anyone else I might have infected got it cleaned out.. then drove to Art's house to fix HIS computer... that bastero fairy... got kinda pissed right before I left for his house.... because my mom refused to let me drive alone... and she made me follow her (she was going to church)... and she went COMPLETELEY out of the way to make sure I KNEW where Arthur's house is..... I've only been going there since like I was... EIGHT! Jeeze! I've been going there literally HALF my life! I think I know where it is!!!!!!!! BAH!!!!!!! And THENNNN she complimented me on my driving... like she ALWAYS does! IF SHE TRUSTS MY DRIVING SO MUCH THEN WHY DOESN'T SHE JUST LET ME DRIVE!!!!! BAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel for Echo... haha... anyways, I got freaked out while driving to Arthur's house, because after I turned on to Willow Wood I was fiddling with my radio and I think I was going about 20... anyways I look up and this fscking dog DASHES across the street so I slame on the brakes..... I must've come within a couple inches of hitting the dog... I actually think it might have gone UNDER my hood... I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO freaked out.... scared like CRAZY......I looked to the right and this old senior couple like over 70 was mad dogging me.... and they had a leash in their hand... my question is.. WHY BRING A LEASH IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO USE IT?! BAHHHHHHHHHHH...anyways completely SHOCKED... I was literally shocked to tears... haha... damn! scary!.... anyways.... yeah... ok... fixed Art's computer.. came home.. watched Everybody Loves Raymond.. then decided to go rent a movie... so we went back to Kim's house (we = my dad and I) to pick up Mothman Prophecies .. at the library, we rented Behind Enemy Lines, Out of Sight and U-571... came home.. watched Mothman Prophecies... watched Friends and watched bits and pieces of other shows... then chatted and here I am...lates all... should have plenty of fun Disneyland stories tomorrow..... I think I'll bring a note pad so I can write them down.... people better watch what they say!.... HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

OK... let us begin with the recounting of the weekend..
Friday morning
Up at 10
Waited around home until 12 and ate some lunch
Got a call from my brother saying he wouldn't get off work until 3:00.... we originally planned to leave by 1-2ish so we could get to Vegas for dinner.... my brother encouraged us to leave... but we decided not to... we did, however, go to Torrance and wait for them at my Grandma/Uncle's apartment... I shot pool with my dad until 2:30, and then my mom, who was waiting in the actual apartment, (my dad and I shot pool in the recreation hall), called us to tell us my brother would not be out until 5:00... so we shot pool some more.. I think we shot about a dozen rounds... and I won 3-4.... my dad is awesome at pool... 1 round, he scratched on the eight, so I won, one round, I forgot how I won, and one round, I had the yellow ball, and the 8 ball left, I hit the cue ball, which hit the yellow ball, which (wasn't meant to but did) hit the 8-ball, and then the yellow ball went into the upper right pocket while the 8 ball soon followed into the right middle pocekt... so technically I lost, since I didn't call the pocket, but he gave it to me...anyways... my brother calls at five to tell us he's leaving work... he gets home at 5:20 so we go pick him up... and then we proceeded to the scariest car ride of my life...the couple hours to Nevada wasn't bad... but we got to the area round 11:00 and of course, it was really dark, so my dad decided to stop in the middle of every intersection on the green light to read the street signs.... and before that, he damn near fell asleep on the freeway and swerved into another lane and almost hit a car... ok this blog is taking forever because I'm chatting.. haha...anyways... got the hotel around 12:00.. beautful hotel... after discussing with the Yang family about the events of Saturday we decided to get up at 7:00 AM... I ended up sleeping at 2 AM because I had to get in my reading of Isle of View by Piers Anthony... so I woke up at 7... AND THEN THEY TOLD ME I COULDN'T DRIVE THE JET-SKIS OR THE BOAT BECAUSE I WASN'T 18!!!!!! THOSE DIRTY BASTEROS! Ok... so I decided not to go be a passenger for 4 hours... as I was headed back to the room, since they didn't tell me until we got to the car, Josh was on his way to the gym, because they told him earlier... so I went with him... after gymming we swam a bit (20 laps) and played around on the slide... then we went paddle boating.. which is TIRING..... BAH!..we called Josh's mom and went to eat breakfast.... then everyone still at the hotel (me, Josh, my mom, my dad, my brother, and my sister-in-law) decided to go visit the rest of Josh's family at the lake... so we drove over... I rode around on the jet-ski with my brother a bit, since Eddie and Calvin were getting bored of it... and he let me drive it illegally... MY GOODNESS! SOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNNNNNNNNNNN... ok... after Jet-skis... we went back to the hotel ... played water b-ball with a guy named Joe and the Yang family... much domination and posterization by me... then we went to shoot some real hoops, after paddle boating a bit more... Josh wanted to Kayak so he went to check out some paddles and found out that it cost $20/hour to kayak... and $18/hour to paddle boat... so basically we had paddle boated illegally for about 1 hour... hahahahahahhahahahah.. anyways... we shot some real hoops... a couple games of 21... got shouldered near the eye by Josh and got a small cut... no biggie... went to Bellagio for dinner... supposedly best buffet in Vegas... I think it deserves tha name... I'M SO DAMN TIRED.... BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..... I still can't believe I slept 5 hours then woke up to work out! Oh... and if all scales I've been on for the past two weeks are correct, I've lost 16 pounds in 2 weeks... anyways... after Bellagio we went outside to watch the dancing water thing, and I realized how pretty the Titanic song really is.....I've always really liked that song... Celine Dione is just too awesome... they're supposedly signing her a contract to sing in Vegas for three years and building an auditorium just for her..... ok this is dragging on... we got back to the hotel at like 12 and just went to sleep... I watched a little TV and slept at one... woke up at 10... still too early.. and we were out the door by 10:30... got to Prim Shopping Outlet at like 11.... stopped by AM PM on the way and got me two 49 cent corn dogs... awesome... originally planned to leave Prim by 1:30.... was soooooooooo bored...we ate right when we got there ... and I started wandering around the mall look for a bookstore to hang out in until we were ready to leave... unfortunately I was unable to locate one, fortunately, I found Josh Yang wandering around... he was supposed to be gone by 12:00 originally but they pushed it back an hour to 1:00... so I walked with him for a bit and we went to Timberland... T-shirt was $15... but it was 2 for $22 and Josh wanted one... so I bought one with him... my parent, brother and his wife were all like uber shocked that I bought a shirt.... first article of clothing I paid for personally... they were all patting me on the back and stuff... NOT THAT BIG A DEAL PEOPLE!.... anyways... finally got out of that damn Mall by 3 .... I SUPER lucked out... I was headed to the car at 1:30 because we were supposed to meet there then.. and I saw my brother/sister-in-law so I wandered with them... UNTIL 3!... basically if I didn't see them I would've been out in like 100+ degree heat for 90 minutes! THOSE FAIRIES!... ok... adventures in the car on the way back: there were two funny stories... but I can only remember one... we were talking about favorite actor's... and I said one of mine was Tom Hank's... and my dad was like : "Are you talking about Topez??? That Latino snger?!"... oh my god... it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO funny... and then later he was like: "Hey! At least I KNEW there was a Topez!" HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... ate dinner in Monterey Park.... OK ANGIE, IF YOU WANNA READ THIS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO STOP CHATTING! IT'S ALREADY TAKEN OVER 30 MINUTES!!!!!........ then we went to this AWESOME restaraunt for Boba... it's called : "Xiao Meh"... IT HAS AN 'A' RATING!!!!!!!!!! (that's like impossible to find in Monterey Park)... you walk in and there are two 60 inch HD TVS!!!!!!!! The floor was like clean enough to eat off.... and like the cashier thing was like a flat screen touch panel... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO damn nice... that's all... drove home... and here I am... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DAMN TIRED......
PS. This whole blog feels VERY disjointed.. but that's coz my brain is asleep
