Whoo, I'm finding less and less time to write in these updates. Anyways, I've been back in Berkeley for quite a while now. Working as hard a s a beaver, maybe even more so if beavers don't work during the holidays (My gut feeling says that they don't). Since it's the last day of the year, I thought that I had to at least write something. Well, Splinter Cell has been what's on my mind recently. I preordered Xtreme Beach Volleyball (otherwise known as the volleyball game with all those DOA chicks). Splinter Cell certainly has been challenging with my replaying levels over and over again to conserve bullets and to be just a little bit more stealthy. The job search continues although my hopes are high that I'll be given a more challenging role here at Cal Performances and a more permanent position. Seems like I've got a lock on it but I'm still with crossed fingers. I'm almost done with the help desk tracking application and I'm working slowly on some other projects. I'll try to give more of an update at some point. Malls, Todai, Raymond, Jay Chou, Meteor Garden, Unreal 2K3.
So where the heck have I been? That last update was like a week or so ago. Don't really feel any older or different. I'd have to say that that birthday turned out to be kind of miserable. Not that my friends didn't do their best to cheer me up or anything but I've been really getting the full-court press on getting a job. It's not just my parents either, it's like everyone's getting in on the action. What is Andy going to do? What is best for Andy? These questions were flying around California and across the Pacific even. If you ever wanted to know what Asian families with kids coming out of college talk about, this would be it. I've tried to remain as sane as possible, but it really was a rehash of Thanksgiving (I really wasn't giving much thanks for being in SoCal besides for my uncle Peter who tried to be as straightforward as possible and my aunt Ling who really got me started on revising my resume). I pretty much spent an entire day working on it and maybe reworking it again. I'll be sure to change the resume section now to the updated one.
Interesting thing about the online resume though. A guy named Steven (who's a grad student at GTU here in Berkeley) google'ing around looking for some help with his vaio laptop and came up with my site. Looked at my resume and decided that maybe I could help him out. Wanted to maybe pay for my services but I hadn't really done any pro bono work in a while so decided to earn some heaven merit points by helping out this guy. Turns out it was the nimda hindering his computer. Another problem we weren't quite able to fix when I was there was the Adobe Distiller not doing the Word doc -> PDF translation. It wasn't working natively under Adobe Acrobat either so the entire engine was probably whack. I recommended going a 3rd party route. Notice how I said 3rd party instead of warez. Warez is bad.
Anyhow, back to where we were. So basically the 11th was kind of sad, even though my friends were trying to help my celebrate when all I was doing was brooding. It was just that noone really knew when to quit. I must have taken in like 10 calls that day almost none of which concerned a happy birthday. The irvine school wanted to talk to me about layout....parents want to talk about the future. groan. In the end, I know that my parents mean well and that they're just trying to look out for me but at that point I really couldn't take it. I can still taste the Herb Roasted Wolfgang Puck Cafe Chicken and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. At that point when my parents called, it tasted really bitter. Really bitter. After years of making decisions for myself, it's incredibly hard to swallow other people's decisions. I still wish my parents would be really supportive, like the Cleavers or the Bradys, and say,"Here's what we think about the situation and what we're willing to offer to help you out. We understand if you think otherwise so let us know what your plans are and we'll try to support you as much as we can and are willing to." The Spring Recruitment phase is rounding the corner (already sent out like 40 resumes) and my parents are acting like moving back to SoCal is nothing but a certainty. They want me to just fly up for interviews. And where am I going to stay? And who is going to drive me to interviews? groan. In my wild imaginings, I even thought about suggesting that I live at my Aunt Jackie's place. I don't know how they would take to that idea but I'd be more than happy to pay rent to use that extra room. I could look after little Raymond when my aunt and uncle needed time off. I'd be pretty tidy since I do plan to sell a lot of my stuff and throw all that misc stuff anyways. Commuting to Berkeley wouldn't be too much of a problem since it only does take like 30 min to get there and my hours are flexible enough that I shouldn't have to worry about traffic. I just think that if I told my parents at this time about this idea, they'd think that all I was thinking about was not coming home. All of my freedoms are gone here. In SoCal, I'm back in high school again. Though I never was a party animal at Berkeley, a lot of things that I consider normal would just be taboo in this environment.
So that's what has been plaguing my mind for oh so long now. The reason for all those delayed updates. On a (this is actually less stressful...how funny is that?) lighter note, my laser eye surgery has all been scheduled now. So here are the dates...mostly for me so that I have some record I can look up whereever I am. But maybe you'd like to see what a modified-Lasik/PRK procedure patient has to go through after the initial 3 eye exams are over with.

If anyone would like to come on my operating days to lend some moral support, please do. I'll need someone to help take pictures to document the procedure. :-)
Anyhow, I did finally see Die Another Day with friends (thanks Adam and Chris for watching it again!!! and for Leah for waiting oh so patiently). A month ago, I don't know if I mentioned it, I caught Far From Heaven with Leah and Laura. I caught Lord of the Rings, Two Weeks, and Gangs of New York with my parents. It was a weird combo. A bloody movie, a romantic comedy, and then an even bloodier movie. Slicing and dicing and throwing and cutting and stabbing were huge motifs in Gangs. Cameron Diaz was actually kind of unsexy in this role as the "hot chick" in town. Load of the Rings was pretty spectacular as expected even though they cut out some parts in Two Towers (probably to beef up the short Return of the King and to speed up this already long movie) and mis-portrayed some characters (such as F*R*M*R, the asterisks are to help keep people from getting mad at me for revealing something about the plot). Two Weeks was pretty good as well. I was most impressed with Hugh Grant's revolving coat rack. Even if the suits were only $300 each (which they couldn't possibly be), there seemed to be maybe 50 suits in there. How do you choose?
I'd like to thank all my friends who've gotten me gifts (either in the past or in the present). You guys really don't know how much it means to be to be thought of. Particularly since for years, I was the kid that Christmas forgot.
More on how I ended up here in SoCal and why I'm going to be back to Berkeley on Sunday. And what improvements I've made to the network here in SoCal. And if my cellphone freezer recharge will actually work like that article said it did.
Today is my 23rd Birthday!!!
Yeah yeah, not sure what's going on for me today but for now, it's work as usual. Did I mention anything about Cal winning the Big Game against Stanford awhile back? Anyways my predictions of a 5-3 in the Pac-10 fell short of the actual record (4-4). Still though, much better than (0-8). Pretty crazy game but you could tell that we were owning them after the first quarter. Stanford did make the first touchdown though which worried me since we were coming off a loss (so was Stanford) and we usually make the first points. All in all it was a good season and Cal should have a lot to look forward to next season.
Speaking of Stanford, here's an article about Stanford's Stem Cell Project. In it, the director of the project says,""Our avowed goal is to advance science. For any group to stay out of the action and wait for someone else to do it because of political reasons is wrong." I'd say that just because Stanford isn't a public institution and thus less prone to the laws and politics of the land doesn't mean that Stanford is more qualified to direct this research than a public oversight committee directed university. Hopefully Stanford will keep its promise of making stem cell lines available to outside researchers.
Here's a reason to keep food in your car. I even have my camping gear with me in the trunk of my car.
Marvel is coming out with a gay comic book character? Will it be as funny as Ace and Gary of SNL fame?
A girl gives her teacher some Mary-G-Juana. Now that's an expensive gift. Remember, it's the thought that counts.
Here's something cool on the techno front. It's about the upgraded Asimo from Honda. I've seen it on TV walking up stairs. This picture though gives me the wilies. Wonder when they're gonna slap on emotions on that thing and dress it up.
One story that I just had to put down is down below. Hahaha I can just imagine their shocked little faces.
Vicar Slays Santa, Shocks Children
LONDON (Reuters) - A British vicar reduced young children to tears and
stunned their parents when he said Santa Claus and his reindeer would burn
to a crisp while delivering presents at supersonic speed. Stand-in vicar
Lee Rayfield shattered the illusions of dozens of kids when he joked in
his carol service sermon that Santa and his reindeer would burn up doing
3,000 times the speed of sound as they delivered gifts to 91.8 million
homes. "I am mortified and appreciate that I have put some parents in a
difficult position with a lot of explaining to do," Rayfield told
Wednesday's Daily Telegraph. "I love Christmas." Newspapers said many
children at the school service at St Mary's Church in Maidenhead, west of
London, were distraught when Rayfield pointed out that it was logically
impossible for one man and his sleigh to deliver 378 million presents in
just 31 hours. "There were a lot of children there who still believe in
Santa Claus, or did so until last night," Sue Smee, who attended the
service with her five- and nine-year-old sons, told the Daily Mirror. "It
has left us parents with a lot of explaining to do today," she added.
Zoomed over to Walnut Creek for lunch today with my Aunt Jackie. My grandma had me bring over some clothes that she had bought in Taiwan to my Aunt (these clothes brought me immeasurable amounts of pain due to regulations regarding carry-on luggage but more on that front when I feel like it.) Anyways, ate lunch as I said before at California Pizza Kitchen (CPK or CPKI on the Nasdaq). Aunt Jackie had the Peking Duck (the perennial asian favorite) whereas I had the creamy potato leek soup. As we left, my aunt mentioned that she was going to Macy's to buy a wok and I was like "Really? Wow, I have one! Circulon?" And she was like "yeah!!!". She's going to get the really large 16 inch one. I got the 14 inch one at Macy's but only because it had a cover which the 16 inch one doesn't have.
So I totally forgot that Calperfs' Holiday Lunch was today. Went over to scrounge some food but really wasn't impressed with it. Did take a soda though. Went back to CPK for dinner and got just the Jambalaya this time which was pretty darn good. The Potato Leek was screaming for my attention but Chi-Chi gave me part of hers so we're good. "We're" as in me and my stomach. They're separate entities.
Wild On is now showing the Taiwan special but they're also showing it again on Dec 14 at midnight. It's Episode #124 in case it's downloadable or something. I don't think this new girl is as good-looking or as interesting as Brooke though. But then again, those were pretty high standards.
For the Trekkies who can't wait till this Friday to see Nemesis. Here's something cool. Just look at this Romulan Warbird. Dang, that's much cooler looking than the old ones.
Read this article that I'll just post the link to. It's about modern-day pirates. No, not the pirates who steal software and copy cds. These guys actually hijack ships for a living. Can't believe that this is still going on. Asian piracy costs $25 billion a year?!!! Geez. Why not have the railings have electric current running through them to repel boarders? Maybe the pirates are using bombs or something.
According to AP, Sgt. Bernard Hajducki (the guy above) of the Polish
Army
walks on
the mine field wearing an air cushioned protector they called the 'moon
boots' during the ongoing demining activity Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2002, at
Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. The demining operation
is being participated in by different armies of the joint coalition task
force.
Hopefully, this guy isn't thinking that those boots are going to protect
him from mines. Demining has got to be one of the most hazardous jobs out
there, right next to toxic/radioactive waste disposal or disarming bombs.
I like how it says that the operation is multi-national so people don't
think that we just decided that the Polish would be in charge of that job.
Don't look at the girls. Even though that girl on the right is kind of nasty, just look at those phones. Drool. Video-conferencing is enabled on those phones. Lemme repeat, video-conferencing!!! Geez, we don't even have consumer video-conferencing on land-lines yet. Wonder how much service like this costs in Japan.
Can't write long cause I need to pick up Adobe Photoshop from the Scholar's Workstation but I had lunch at California Pizza Kitchen and the Potato Leek Soup is as good as I remembered it years ago.
Yesterday, not much happened. Went to Tako Sushi to get a roll and miso soup (cause it's raining here in Berkeley) with Leah, Joe, and Wai-Lin. After the snack, I went with Adam to MickeyD's for a fry. Then headed to Barnes and Noble to have a look at the certification/license books. I want to take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to get an engineering license but from the looks of things, I may have to study for it. Then there are the possibilities of the GRE or the GMAT. Have to weigh the pros and cons of them all.
Had a late night run to Safeway after I beat Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (finally!!!). I'm hoping that I'll have time for some 007 action sometime.
Yesterday, I was talking to Adam about how far I'd gotten with the Irvine website and about style sheets and stuff. Got to thinking about letting people choose their own flavor of jookwarrior. I'd like to have some lighter, less somber color schemes to choose from. Want to stay as far away from Javascript as possible so I'll probably use php instead. Hopefully, people won't mind having some cookies.
Here's something heartwarming. Good to know that things like this really happen outside of movies. Yesterday, I played tennis with some african-american kids. My thinking was maybe they would grow up with at least some positive images of asians instead of the ones that society would have you believe in. Things happen every day that eventually change the timeline of the world. Who knows how I affected the future? Ehh, no matter...here's the article. BTW, some person plagiarized an article from some magazine and submitted it to Hardboiled, the asian magazine here on campus. She was immediately fired from her position. Dang, plagiarizing a work that only one person will read is one thing but putting it in something that hundreds of people read? What an idiot. Kind of like those writers who plagiarize other writers and hope to get away with it.
Woman Missing Eight Years Is Home for Christmas
By Pat Harris
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Reuters) -
A woman who had been wandering
the streets for eight years was headed home for a Christmas
reunion with her family because she remembered she once had
invested in the stock market.
When a bedraggled Alice Perley wandered into the brokerage firm of A.G. Edwards & Sons in Nashville earlier this week the first person she met by the elevator was Michael Guess. "I could tell she was homeless," Guess, a financial analyst with the firm, told Reuters on Friday. "It was obvious she needed help." When the woman told him she thought she had some money invested with the firm, Guess was skeptical but "we need to help people regardless and I wasn't going to walk away from her." So the 44-year-old Guess invited the woman into his office and listened to her story. "She was vague about everything except that she remembered the name of our firm and felt that somehow she had money with us," said Guess. Guess said he and another broker took some cash from their own pockets to give her but she refused, insisting she had money in an account. "I knew something was going on then," Guess said. "So I put through a call to our company's office in Atlanta and asked them to check on it." A few minutes later he had confirmation that Perley was a client -- and that she had been missing for eight years despite exhaustive search efforts by her family. Guess said it appeared that Perley, a college graduate with a chemistry degree, property and other investments, had disappeared from her home in Kentucky after a painful divorce. She left a commercial flight during a stopover at Nashville's airport and lived in the woods, on the streets and in shelters in the intervening years. The firm refused to say what her investment amounted to or to characterize it in any way, citing customer confidentiality. While Guess was still on the phone with the Edwards office in Atlanta, the woman's brother, Fred Perley of Charlotte, N.C., called and talked to her. "She was happy -- really very happy when she heard her brother's voice," Guess said. "It was obvious she was ready to come home. At that point, I left the office to give them privacy but I don't mind saying I felt a real glow myself." The brother came to Nashville Friday to take the woman home. Said Guess: "Well, that's what Christmas is really all about, isn't it? We're not supposed to judge others. We're supposed to remember to help one another and not just walk on by -- aren't we?"
Is this guy selling cars or something else? Ads in China sure go further than American ones. This picture could have been from some import show (but then she'd have to be some kind of asian). You can't even see all of the car. Not even the Jaguar symbol on the hood is visible. Kind of reminds me of 99 Ranch's motto, For 100, we try harder.
A Chinese car salesperson talks in front of a poster of a Jaguar car at a car show in Shanghai, December 9, 2002. China is witnessing a car-buying boom this year as a price war combined with cheaper imports after China's entry into the World Trade Organization a year ago have fuelled sales, especially among private buyers.
Ate lunch at Roticcerre, the pseudo-gourmet chicken place on Shattuck. Actually has a really good deal for whole chicken from 4pm to 6pm. Went over to the tennis courts to watch Adam, Chris, Honda, and someone else play some tennis. Later me and Leah played and I must admit that even though her high school only had a varsity team (no jv no froshsoph), she wasn't bad at all. In fact since she was playing with sandals on, she'd probably really cream me.
Had dinner at the Pho place (got me a number 1 as usual). Adam forgot to ask for no green onions. Leah forget to ask for no cilantro. Chris got tendon and tripe when he didn't really want them. I guess I was the only one that was happy with my food. I even got to use 2 of the lemons for my soup! Afterwards, we went to 99 Ranch to get groceries to stock up. Saw the fishmonger whack a couple of fishes on the head (the second time I've seen it). Everyone around had this shocked expression (more like a grimace on the asians) on their face. I'd really hope that the fishmonger isn't a Buddhist or anything cause it definitely wasn't a mercy kill. Left and had to go back to get dried shrimp for the napa cabbage and my ox-tail soup.
Something struck me today. As I was reading the January 2003 issue of PC Gamer, I noticed the ad for the new EA/Westwood game, Command & Conquer: Generals. In the box under China, it read "No longer just a red-communist step-child, China's modern army is well-financed with a strong nationalistic bent. Parading technology like Dragon Tanks and Nuclear Missles, China's military goes beyond large troop numbers. But defeating the agile GLA is still no walk in Yangmingshan National Park. So while their new military is formidable, so is the task ahead." From when has Yangmingshan National Park been a park in China? As far as I can tell, there is only one park with that name and it's near Taipei in Taiwan. Maybe EA decided that in the future, Taiwan would already have been assimilated into China or something. Can't be too far in the future though cause the US is still listed as using Tomahawk missles and this Middle Eastern grouop is using Scud Launchers. Bothers me as to how they chose Yangmingshan instead of something else. Besides, walking in that park can be kind of tiring due to the mountains and steep slopes. Whoever is in charge of localization over at EA should really look into this kind of thing. War wouldn't break out over something this small, but I'm sure there are people in Taiwan that wouldn't be too happy seeing this printed.
Hmm...took a break today. Went to In-n-Out for lunch. Got to Osaka Sushi to try to get a handroll but no luck. Went to this special event called the Singing Christmas Tree. Was a bit late for the performance because of a mixup with Yahoo Maps and then this minister dude gave us incorrect directions. I think it might be because he's jealous of different ministries or something.
Anyways, I really liked the performance. My favorite part was where they performed the song "When You Believe" which is the single that came out with the Dreamwork's-produced animation "Prince of Egypt". Pretty good movie and music. Recommended viewing.
Went to Osaka Sushi afterwards and was finally able to get that Spicy Salmon Handroll. Forgot to add avocado to it though. Oh well!
Me, Adam, and Chris went to watch "They" tonight. They've already seen 007 so it seems it'll be like forever before I get a chance. On the way I mentioned how yesterday as I was swapping a mouse for one of our users, I found 2!!! mice just hanging out in the back of the computer. No idea why they were disconnected and just left there but there they were. Somehow, Adam made the joke about mice and their trackballs and how maybe how I had "discovered" their hiding place. How maybe they were caught in the wild and the balls were actually attached to their bodies and how we broke them in by severing that connection and how they might be screaming if only they had a mouth. hmm...it was funnier in the car now that I think about it.
When we went to buy tickets, I went up and said "One for they". And the ticket lady was like "Wha?" Then she laughed and said that she still hadn't gotten the hang of that movie title yet. Just wondering when movie's are going to get titles like "Us" or "Me" or "You" or any number (One for Three...One for Us...One for Me...One for You).
Movie itself was really only for shock value. Most of my time was spent cursing at the character's stupidity and daring. Not to spoil anything (Eric...I know you could be watching), but the characters followed every Star Trek ensign-type action you could think of. Not that the plot fallacies helped or anything. Anyways, this was more of a rental than anything. Maybe "Tooth Fairy" will be better. Those trailers looked really similar.
Scratcher is getting filled up with banter I'd rather not see. If it continues, I'm going to have to do some subnet blocking. That's just how it is. WTF? Fluff? aargh...
Yesterday, Leah kept me company while I was doing the tape backups. Much nicer when you have someone to talk to instead of just trudging around. A bunch of us got together at the Royal Grounds Cafe to do some studying. I don't know how they make any money. There I was, using the electricity. No coffee or anything. Last time, I at least got a orange juice. They're just so nice about it. For dinner, I just made some soup from bone and stock.
Here's something funny that came in my mail from overseas. It's a parody of an old skit that Abbott and Costello used to do. This is probably more relevant and up-to-the-times than the baseball skit (Who's at bat?) though.
If you don't know who George, Condi, Hu, Yasser, and Kofi are, you need to do some CNN'ing. Oh and Yasser Arafat is also known as Yassir Arafat. Both names are correct.
Who's Hu
George: Condi! Nice to see you. What's happening?
Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.
George: Great. Lay it on me.
Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.
George: That's what I want to know.
Condi: That's what I'm telling you.
George: That's what I'm asking you. Who is the new leader of China?
Condi: Yes.
George: I mean the fellow's name.
Condi: Hu.
George: The guy in China.
Condi: Hu.
George: The new leader of China.
Condi: Hu.
George: The Chinaman!
Condi: Hu is leading China.
George: Now whaddya' asking me for?
Condi: I'm telling you Hu is leading China.
George: Well, I'm asking you. Who is leading China?
Condi: That's the man's name.
George: That's who's name?
Condi: Yes.
George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China?
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle East.
Condi: That's correct.
George: Then who is in China?
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir is in China?
Condi: No, sir.
George: Then who is?
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir?
Condi: No, sir.
George: Look, Condi. I need to know the name of the new leader of China.
Get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone.
Condi: Kofi?
George: No, thanks.
Condi: You want Kofi?
George: No.
Condi: You don't want Kofi.
George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And then get me the U.N.
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.
Condi: Kofi?
George: Milk! Will you please make the call?
Condi: And call who?
George: Who is the guy at the U.N?
Condi: Hu is the guy in China.
George: Will you stay out of China?!
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.
Condi: Kofi.
George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.
(Condi picks up the phone.)
Condi: Rice, here.
George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get
Chinese food in
the Middle East?
Yesterday I almost forgot that I was supposed to have dinner with the rest of the students working at CalPerfs. Luckily I was checking my email, and E-Vite had sent me a reminder (how nice of them!). So I had dinner at Giovanni's where I had the Jambalaya Linguini again. Although we had a smaller group than we had imagined, it still turned out to be a pretty fun event.
For lunch, I had the special at Boba Cafe again. Not exactly sure why I go back but it's good stuff anyways. I hauled 6 new HP printers around yesterday. Damn huge ones too. Watched some Friends episodes that I missed. Hooked up Wai-Lin, Michelle, and Leah with cable. Worked on the Irvine website.
Just before, I had my last eye exam at the Berkeley Eye Center. All that's left is the pre-op. I'm probably going to do it in Jan. It'd mean that I'd have to be in Berkeley for that whole month though for checkups and whatnot. Really depends on how the interview in LA goes. The doctor numbed my eyes and then used this probe thing that actually poked my eye to measure the cornea. He didn't even tell me that he was going to do that until he did it. Didn't hurt at all...just weird feeling.
Hmm...long time no update. Couple days before I left for Orange County for Thanksgiving, we had a dinner for Chris's birthday in SF. I got him MechAssault and Adam got him Splinter Cell. We had dinner at "Steps for Rome". Got the Frutti de Mare. Yum. Mark regaled us with stories about working in England and how he got his name changed to Jacob. Afterwards we went to Mark's apartment and watched "Joy Ride" (the one about two idiots who make fun of a sadistic truck driver) and "The Big Lebowski".
In Orange County I basically did the family thing. The first day that I got back, we went to Disneyland (my season pass was still valid). Did California Adventure first and then good ol' Disneyland afterwards. My dad gave me his previous digital camera (the Sony 707). It's kind of big but the features are incredibly impressive. It even uses lasers in low-light conditions to gauge distances. Freaky stuff. Got a contract to create a website for a place in Irvine. Saw Meatball after maybe a year or so (still remembers me!). Good food to offset the lack of it in Berkeley. This all-you-can-eat Korean place...the seafood place in Irvine.
I got an interview at Apex Digital for this month. It'd be interesting working for that company. We'll see how it goes.
I've been to Hot Pot twice already since I got back. Once with Chris and once with Adam. I took Chris down in MechAssault when he brought his Xbox up here.
Today, I went to eat the lunch special at Boba Cafe. Popcorn chicken and pork with rice. The Cingular Wireless Stretch Hummer 2 was out on Bancroft today. Ehh...better updates to continue.
