posting

haha, was talking to cuiting n she told me i nv update my blog for 2 weeks alrd. so decided to write something.

yeah i m going to snowboard again tmr. the 2nd time. i think i m getting addicted to it. it's so much fun. things are looking really good for me. 1st. I got jobs here in US, kinda helped me financially. n of course i m enjoying myself. better still one of it is actually a lab job, n even better it is a cancer research lab but i could actually work w 2 organic chemists. looking back, i think i made quite a lot of good decisions. it was tough but i think it will worth it. Now some highlights in my CV:

1. Chem Sci Prog
2. Double Major
3. UROPS
4. SEP in US
5. 3 YRS of Lab experience in 4 yrs of undergrad!!! (1 yr UROP, 1 YR research assistant in UCI and 1 yr honors), even i m amazed
6. Possible intern in Biopolis (Martin juz told me abt it. not confirmed)

Well, my CAP really is not that great but honestly i think this portfolio would ultimately help me. Oh yah. why m i talking so much abt academic? cuz martin juz accepted me as one of his 3 honors student! haha.. can tell i m excited abt it cuz it's not easy to get into his lab. He told me he usually take students who are potentially 1st class honors.

anw. I m going to snowboard tmr! n i ll prob go for a road trip w my roommates in spring break. oh yah. forgot to mention, this quarter is ending in 2 weeks.. which means i m having final exams soon! hmmm.. i dont seem to bother.. haha..

ciao

Alright ppl!

Alright ppl. This is what I did this weekend.

First I went down to San Diego for my shit ass tournament which I played badly. I dont really want to talk abt it right now... and yah.. came back from san diego.

Den I went down to Commerce Casino nearby. Wosh.. It was cool. Not the first time in a casino but a first time legit for actually gambling. Played poker (show 'em) for 10+ hours from 430pm to 3am. It was really nice a fun. I would say I am a pretty smart gambler for the first time. prepared like 200 for the day so it was like sometime winning 200+ sometime losing 150 or so.. The last hand was legit but i lost.. well.. lost 60 bucks.. i prob gave more than 100 bucks worth of tips during this time.. typically i tip 1 buck for small pot and 2 to 4 bucks for large pot... so I still think it was a good day... alot of fun ... tired n drove back to sleep.

Went snowboarding n just came back w bruises n all. Well.. I thought it's gonna be easy to pick up but I was sooo wrong.. the first 1-2 hr was shitty like hell for me... my gosh... anw... My roommate who is a really season skiier as well as snowboarder helped me up alot and I actually really enjoyed my last 3 runs today.. I will try to go every 2 week cuz I really love this game.. Not to brag abt this, after I got the hang of it.. I was actually doing pretty well... You wont tell that I am a beginner at all if you compare me w all the rest of the ppl.. That's legit!

That's it.. I was enjoying so much I forgot to take any pics.. heck the pics.. the experience is so much better.

quite some time

ok it's been quite some time since i last blogged. I wonder who actually read this anw

I am canceling my Skiing trip for no apparent reason. well.. wadeva

But I should be going canyoning trip next week., Hopefully dont screw up again. Then the following week I ll be taking part in San Diego Badminton tournament "Freeman". Playing in B and C Singles. Nice thing in UCI badminton team is that we actually got 2 US national players here with us. And I can see they are pretty good. I hope I can at least get back my strokes and prob play better when i m back. Strained my calf couple days back.. hurting more now.

Well. I m STILL too lazy to get the photos uploaded.. lol

ok decided i shld juz upload some photo of myself after a hair cut by my roommie




It's really short but free.. looks more like my younger days. ok qiao
