Today, I started my new homepage. It isn't finished yet but it'll look cool. Today, I woke up at 7:oo AM to watch TV, but there was nothing special on! Then I had to go to the orthodontist, which is a pain because it interrupted me watching TV. Then I had to come back to go to Stanford because of chinese class. After that, I was freeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I went out with my sister and mom to Cupertino to eat dinner. We came back and now I'm writing on this Journal. See ya!

May 21, 2001

Today, was an unlucky day because I had to go to school and had lot's of homework. But the best thing was surfing the net and finding cool stuff. Can't write much now since I've got to see what I can do to make this homepage rule.

May 24, 2001

Today was thursday, the busiest day of the week. I have to to go to school (as if any i didn't) as usual and after school, I have to go to the All city orchestra to practice new songs. I play the violin. After going there, I get to go to my friend's house because my friend's mon is a piano teacher. My sister went to her lessons and i got to play on the computer. then i had to go back because of homework. After my homework, i'm writing in this journal.

May 24, 2001

Today was the happiest day of all. It was Friday and on Fridays, we don't get homework!!!!!!!!! But I still have to do my chinese homework. At least I finally got to watch tv because I can't exactly watch tv on Wednesdays and Thursdays. After I did my chinese homework, I write in this journal.

May 29, 2001

Today was Tuesday and that sucks because there is still 3 more days of school before we have the weekend to ourselves. Darn, and that means MORE homework and less free time. I'm also nervous because this Saturday, and I mean THIS Saturday I've got a chinese exam. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Oh well, it's late so I'll just stop typing. Bye.

May 30, 2001

Today was Wednesday. You know what that means? IT MEANS I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL AND THE HAVE PIANO CLASSES! AFTER THAT I HAVE TO GO TO SCORE AND STAY THERE FOR ONE ROTTEN HOUR! AFTER THAT, I HAVE TO GO TO MENLO PARK WITH MY MOM TO PICK UP SHARON. AFTER THAT IS DONE, WE HAVE TO EAT DINNER.! AFTER THAT IS DONE, I HAVE TO GO TO SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a busy day. At least we don't have any homework today! Wa Hoo! Nothing special happened today except our school orchestra, band and other musical instrument groups went to Nixon Elementary School. I was in the orchestra. We only performed in front of the 3rd grade students from our school. I had to wear this formal shirt and black shoes. BLACK shoes! I hate wearing black shoes! They look good on me. Gotta have dinner now. BYE.

May 31, 2001

Today was Thursday. But this Thursday isn't like my other Thursdays. This Thursday I had to go to the All City Orchestra rehearsal as usual. Then I went to my friend's house and played Indiana Jones on the computer. After that I went back home. Usually I do my homework right after I come home but today, it's a BIG change. Tomorrow, I'm going to Great America!!!! WA HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No school too!!!!! But only the All City Honor people can go if they participated in the concert. I did. YES! I don't need to see my enemies tomorrow. I also don't have to make up for homework because on Fridays and weekends, we don't have any homework. I don't need to see the teacher until Monday. I also get to finish my homework from today on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is like a dream come true. Now, to continue my dream, I must get off the computer and dream on.

june 2, 2001

Today i had to go to chinese school. but today i had to take the chinese exam. first i took my writing exam then my oral exam. OK, i suck but at least i know some words more than other people do. I got an A- on my oral exam. I'm happy about that. gotta go watch snl AND MAD TV now.

June 3, 2001

Today was Sunday. That meant SCORE! this morning. No! Anyway, it's over because today in SCORE! I was lucky. I got not 1, not 2, but THREE raffles to put in the SCORE! raffle box. To earn one, you have to get ABSOLUTELY 100% on any lesson you do. I also got mastery. Wa hoo! Was it because of the socks I wore or was the time I slept yesterday? I think it was just pure luck. Today, I also went to watch SHREK, a movie. I was so funny and it has a tiny bit of swear words. Well, that's it! CYA.

June 5, 2001

Today was Tuesday. That means it's my luckiest day of the week. And it was. Today our class dissected sheep hearts. It was so cool but then only a few people did the dissecting. I was one of them. Man, cutting the sheep's heart sounds disgusting but it really isn't. The outer part is just like steak except it smells like rotten chicken. I wore gloves and my gloves got all bloody. Luckily, they were disposable. I think we were supposed to cut the outer layer first. So our group did that. Then we had to cut open the actual heart and the layer was THICK! When I touched the heart, it felt slimey, slippery and rubbery. After the dissecting, I was picked to bring the tray of sheep heart blood to the office to let it get washed. I freaked out one of the people there. Today's homework was just reading so that was quickly done. Then I played playstation. After THAT, I had to practice my piano. Then it was dinner. That was a GOOD dinner. Then, I'm typing this journal.

Cya sometime later!

June 6, 2001

Today was Wednesday. That means it's the busiest day of the week. Today was somehow a very lucky day for me because the piano teacher said I've improved a lot since the first time we've met. I also got another three raffles to enter in. At SCORE!, they gave me a bingo chart. If I get a row all crossed out, I get to be entered to go to Disney's California amusement park. Cool huh? There are three squares in a row and I've got TWO squares IN THE SAME ROW!!!!!! That means I've only got one more square to fill out. This is going to ge so easy. All I have got to do is write down my plans in the summer then let a coach see the plans then I can be entered into the raffle! Well, I need to publish this page now so see you later!

June 8, 2001

Today was Friday. that means it's track and field day. but this track and field day sux butt. we were playing the all time champions, the teachers. (boooooo). It was the teachers v.s. the fifth graders. (that's us). the teachers were so cheating. we were playing tee ball and the rules say that nobody can hit the tee and run. they'll be disqualified! one of the teachers did that and they weren't disqualified! when we were batting, the pitcher was the principal, that means the principal is on the teacher's side and when we were so safe, he said we were out. Same goes to me. i reached the base before he can even catch the ball. next year, i'm going to see the track and field day and see the teachers go down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm not in the mood to say bye.

June 9, 2001

Today was Saturday. I didn't need to go to my chinese class today because the session was finished for the summer. We went to Half Moon Bay to stay there because my Sharon had to dance. After that, we went back to Palo Alto and ate in McDonald's. That was better. Then we went back home to wait for our guests. They came while I was playing Playstation. The guests wanted to go shopping so they left Sharon and I at home. After THAT is over, I'm writing in this journal. Well, nothing special today so I'll just say bye.

June 11, 2001

Today was Monday. But the fifth graders went to Great America because of our graduation. In Great America, everything seemed boring because I just went to Great America last last week. But I got to do something fun than sit around. Well, we were there from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. That means we stayed in Great America when it opened and closed! I didn't want to go on rides with loops so I just waited for the others in my group at the ride's exit. It felt like Friday instead of Monday. Only three days left for school! Then, WE'RE FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

June 15, 2001

Just as I told you, we're free! Yesterday was the last day of school and I was so happy. I didn't even miss school! Well, today I'm off to Washington D.C. so I won't be typing in this journal until say, July 11th, 2001. So, that's all I have to type.

July 11th, 2001

Well, tomorrow I'm off to Hong Kong for the holiday and today I just left Dulles airport in Virginia and it stunk. 13 hour journey to HK here I come! Well, then in DC, I had so much fun! I visited the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian museums, the old post office tower, the inside of the US Capitol and of course, the inside of the White House. (Ooh...............). I also learned how to take the Metro, something like an underground railway. Well, I won't be able to type until August. So I'm getting a little skimpy on my work. But don't worry, you could still check out my sister's webpage. The link is located at the Home page. You'll be able to see it since it is big. So bye! (Sorry for any inconvenience).

July 12, 2001

Today is the big day! I'm going back to Hong Kong! But the worst part is that I have to sit on the plane for 13 hours. I hate waiting for such long waits. Well, as I told you, I won't be able to write until mid August. So bye!

August 14, 2001

Hey, it's me again. Just came back from the airport. We first took the 13 hour journey from HK back to Los Angeles. Then we had to transit from Los Angeles to San Francisco. So we dumped the luggages on the belt and headed towards the gate. However, we were in terminal 6 and the gate was in terminal 8 so we had to waste 5-10 min. just walking there. Our flight was at 12:30 pm and the gate closes at 12:20 pm so by the time we got there it was 12:25 pm. So in other words, we missed our flight. But then we took the 1:30pm plane to San Francisco. But the luggages were on the 12:30 plane so the lugages got to San Fran an hour earlier. Luckily, there was a friend of my mom's that was going to drive us back to Palo Alto and he found the luggages so that went well. Enough about that. In HK, I did lots of stuff. I went Go-Kart racing, swimming, meeting my friends and other stuff. It was the best summer of my life. Excluding the fact that most of my friends went somewhere for vacation. Gotta go now. Bye!

August 15, 2001

Hey, it's me, the creator. Today I was jetlag from yesterday's plane ride so I woke up at 2:00 am and did everything I needed to do. After that, I had a delicious breakfast. And then I start to type this journal cause it's now 7:00 am. Well, anyway we got the luggages unpacked and we still have to unpack some other stuff. Like the DVD player and my mom's clothes and everything she brought over. Now I'm gonna go and watch TV. Cya later!

August 16, 2001

This morning was better cause I woke up at 5:45 am. O yah, I forgot to tell you that I found a dime in the HK Airport and a dime on the plane going from LA to San Francisco. Am I lucky? Guess I am. So just now I finished some of my chinese homework. The teachers in chinese class never give you a break! The longest break they give you is 2 weeks. It sucks. So, my sister is stuck in LA and my mom and I are stuck at home. Now I'm typing this journal cause I'm bored. Well, bye!

August 17, 2001

Hello, it's me again. I found out that I don't need to start chinese class until after 9/15. Yahooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And also the Jordan Middle School accepted me into their school! Yay! I'm so happy now. I'm going to the orthodontist in a few min. so this might be short. So now everything is like dreamland, well almost everything. I wasn't exactly paying attention to the tour of Jordan cause I was trying to the pull the tail of a student dressed up as the jaguar for Jordan. Hehehehehehehehe! Gtg now. Maybe I'll talk to u later bye!

August 18, 2001

Hello. It's me again. Today I woke up at 4:45 am. But yesterday I woke up at 8:00 am. I don't get it. Oh well, I was just uinstalling a progamme and I've been playing around with ever since. And I did great. Yesterday, after we went to the orthodontist, we went to eat lunch. It was noodles. Then, we went to Bank Of America cause my mom needed to do something. After that, we went to Citibank cause my mom had to do something AGAIN. Then we went back home. I spent the rest of that day watching TV, practicing my piano and playing playstation. That's it. I'll type back later today!

August 18, 2001

Told ya I'd type back today. So did you know wat I was doing the whole day? Well, after lunch I felt tired so I just took a nap. But then it looked like I took a 5 hour sleep! So that's how I spent my day. Just sleeping. But I was watching Saturday cartoons. Cya.

August 19, 2001

Today was Sunday. You know what that means? It means we've got to go to San Francisco. Today we arrived in San Fran at 11:30 am. We did all this stuff and it wasn't fun. Then we had lunch. After that, my mom wanted to stay and help her friends so I was playing with my friend. At 4:00 pm, we left. We arrived in Palo Alto at 5:00 pm and now I'm typing this journal. Not a fun day though. Oh well, life goes like that. Cya!

August 20, 2001

Hey everyone! Did anyone notice that I've updated the my homepage like renovating it. Check every page please. Yes I'm talking to you papa. Check every page. I did a little changes to the wallpaper. And I added the things I needed to and I deleted the things that I didn't need. And you noticed that I've changed the format of the journal page. So PAY ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got it? Good. Today I woke up at 11:00 am. THAT WAS GREAT! Now I think I'm really getting over my jetlag. I spent the next 2 hours or so watching VCDs. then I watched TV. I had to go to SCORE! . After that, my mom had to do something. Then we went back home. Now I'm typing this journal and my mom is um...... hold on. ... 45 seconds later... she's checking her files and doing some paperwork. So today was a short day. Got to get ready for tomorrow's day. Bye! Remember to check at least 2 pages. Papa, you have to check all!!!!!!!!!! So bye now!

August 21, 2001

Just to tell you. The updated sign still is on cause I didn't forget to put it down but I found out that I still need to clean up on my page. So I did. So whenever the updated sign is off, you could just look at pages as usual. But when it's on, you know what to do. And that's especially to you papa. So you'll see that I haven't done much but I changed the Status name page to Family and People. But then just now I changed to Family, Friends and Favourite People. Right? Today I woke up at 11:30 am. That was great! 10 hours of sleep! Today went well. I had breakfast as usual then we had to pick up some friends. We had lunch with them then they came to our house to setup something. After that, we had dinner with them. Then we drove them back to San Francisco since they live there. That was it! Bye!

August 22, 2001

Today was another lasy day. Today I woke up at 10:30. It's better than 11 cause I've gotta get ready for school. Today was just like any old day. After breakfast, I took a shower. Then I watched TV until 4:20 pm. Cause I had to go to Score!. After that I went back home, ate some french fries then I installed Typing Tutor 7. It woooooooorrks. Not that I have problems with typing but to keep me warmed up on typing. That's it for today! Sorry if this entry was to short. The journal is STILL updated so don't underestimate that sign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

August 23, 2001

Finally, the update sign is down so you can rest. Today I had to go to the Jordan registration. I had get my PE uniform, my PE locker, my schedule and some other stuff. So after that, we went to McDonalds to eat lunch cause we woke up at 9:30 am. That's a good start for school. After that, we went back home. I was watching TV. Then I went to Score! for my make up classes. I brought along with me almost all the score cards I had to give to score! cause they were running out of score cards. The instructors said that I kept all the other score cards and I said nope. Cause other people have them but they're just too lazy to get 'em out. I found out that I brought 815 cards to exchange with. And I have a few more at home. So that makes above 915 cause I have a 100 card. After score!, we went back home. And now I'm typing this journal. Bye!

August 24, 2001

Today was Friday. That meant that we had to pick my sister up from the airport since she was in LA doing a summer ballet course. She came back early because she sprained her ankle and couldn't dance much. She's now on crutches but she's healing fine. The doctor in LA freaked her out cause her said that she had a fracture. But instead, she just sprained her ankle. She's with me now but she's talking on the phone. Teenagers. You can't hear enough of them. Blah de blah de blah. On the phone 24/7. I hate people like that. Anyway, after we got our sister, we went to our own family doctor. She was the one that told us that my sister only sprained her ankle. Then we went to Walgreens to buy some stuff. And after THAT, I'm typing this journal. Cya later!

PS. The updated sign is on! It's update is only on the About Me page. Ok? Bye!

August 25, 2001

Today was Saturday. I woke up at 7:00 to watch TV. I could'nt keep my eyes open all the time cause I went to bed at 10:00 pm last nite and that's pretty early. I couldn't sleep until 1:00 cause my mom and sister couldn't keep the noise level down and they were talking about some crap I don't wanna listen and everything stopped at 1:00. God! What's wrong with this family, I try to sleep but nooooooooooo, they don't let me sleep, so what can I do? I have to listen since they both were loud. This is so stupid. A person is trying to sleep and they won't let them cause they're talking too loud and I already told them to keep the noise level down, but nooooooooooo. They both have no respect for anybody. Just now my mom was shouting at me just because I won't help. God! I already helped her on a lot of things. Who brewed the coffee? I did. Who made Sharon's breakfast cause her left leg was weak, I did. Who folded the clothes, I DID! And that's not enough help????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then she tells me this and that. I'M ALREADY TIRED PEOPLE. IT'S NOW 1:45PM AND I TIRED CAUSE YOU GUYS WEREN'T KEEPING THE NOISE LEVEL DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not blaming Sharon, but I'm talking to mummy. I don't know why she's like that. Always unorganized. If you people think I'm wrong, then why's SHE shouting at everyone. Huh?!!!! Sorry, but I'll type about what happened today tomorrow. The page is off limits until tomorrow when you see this journal. Why? Because I am a little tired and I control this homepage so tough!

August 26, 2001

Yesterday I did nothing fun but go out and buy Sharon's foot support. Then we went to a clothes store and looked at some clothes since I'm always beaten cause there are 2 of them and 1 of me so it's not fair that we have to go out everytime. Mummy favours going out to so I'm beaten. Today we went to San Francisco. We stayed in our friend's house for 4 hours doing all this stuff I don't like. My sister was lucky cause she stayed at home since her left leg was weak. Now mummy's paying alot of attention to it and telling me to stay away from Sharon. What's wrong with her? Just now, Sharon was surfing on the net when I asked her if she wanted to watch Home Alone, she said no. Then she said I already watched it, then I asked today? She started to scream at me saying you can't force me to watch Home Alone, but I wasn't. Then mummy came in and asked Sharon what was going on. She said the story in her own way. Then mummy asked me what happened. Of course of Sharon's weak leg, mummy didn't believe me. God! I always tell the truth, why doesn't anybody believe me! So mummy started to scold me. Luckily I didn't take a shower this morning so I went and took a shower even before she could start her boring lecture. Saved by the bathroom! Anyway, after the 4 hours in our friend's house, we went and bought some food. Actually, it's tons of food. My arm was about to break since I was helping mummy to carry it. Then we went back home, ate dinner, had the argument, listened a little bit 0f the lecture and now I'm typing this journal. Sharon, if you're seeing this, I'm telling mummy and papa! Oh yah, the page was updated cause there was a new page. It's the pics page. That's all you guys have to see. Bye.

August 27, 2001

You might think why I'm typing my journal when I'm supposed to be in school? Well, I don't start school until tomorrow! Some people start school today but we're not those people. School is so boring! What's there to do? NOTHING! Except listening to the teacher's lectures and doing homework. They're going to put a load of homework on us! It's stupid but everyone has to go to school or else they won't become what they wanna be. Like a doctor, engineer, pilot, etc. I'm going to middle school so it's gonna be alot different then elementary school. They said in the handbook that if you get 5 tardies, you get 1 hour detention. My mom's gotta work hard on that. If you get 10 tardies, you have to go to Saturday School. That's not fun. My mom's gotta work on that. Everyone has to be picked up 15 min. after school ends. My mom picks me up 20-60 min. after school cuz of traffic. Yah rite and my name is Kick My Butt. That's why I hate school. Talk to you later.

September 19, 2001

When I meant later in the previous journal, I think I didn't actually obey that. School's doing great for now. We (whole family) went to LA and loads of fun (this happened at August 30th). We went to both Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure. Now I don't care if I get into the raffle at Score! or not. I'm just going to summarize what happened on 9/11/01.

1) 1st plane crashes into one of the Twin Towers

2) About 10 min. later, 2nd plane crashes into other tower

3) Washington D.C.'s Pentagon is on fire because plane crashed into the Pentagon.

4) Plane crashed near Pittsburgh

5) Calm and stupid asshole Bin Laden prime suspect

6) I almost wet my pants

7) Airports closed

8) Flights to U.S. re-routed to Canada

9) I watched the news and saw the planes crash. Heard a guy say the F word aloud while listening to the crash.

10) Farted

11) Pooped in the bathroom

12) Did my homework

13) Listened somemore

14) SLLLEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!

How's that! A perfect summary (list) of what happened. Nothing much today except going to piano lessons and going to Score!.

Gotta sleep now

Bye!

P.S. The updated sign is on!

October 13, 2001

I've been slacking because of too much homework. But I'm going to New York sooner this morning! I might not be able to type to you for a looooooooooong time after this entry but I'm trying my very best to put some time into it. Yesterday, I didn't do much except go to school. Here's my schedule for yesterday:

1st period = Math

2nd period = Language Arts

Brunch

4th period = Social Studies

5th period = PE

Lunch

6th period = Wheel (in my case, computers)

7th period = Core

Home!

How's that?! A complete school schedule for Friday. Now you know how busy I am since 4 out of 6 periods have homework. Good bye for now.

November 7th, 2001

I didn't stay in New York all this time. I only stayed there for two days and I came back. After that, I was pounded with four projects! That's why I couldn't type all these days. Anyway, for Halloween, I was dressed up as an astronaut. No fun, right? Well how about if you had to make it yourself for a project? How's that? My mom and I made the costume by ourselves. My friend was dressed as a space shuttle and we were one of the winners who won in the judging contest! That was really cool! The best thing is that I finished 3 of my projects! I stayed up until 12:45 am just finishing my Social Studies project because I didn't start it for the past few days! All I got left is to finish my journal for the Halloween project our teacher assigned. Whenever I have time, I'll type back. Cya!

January 18th, 2002

Today was Friday. I arrived at SFO on the 8th. I was supposed to go to school on the 9th but I threw up and stayed home. On the 10th, I finally went to school. It didn't take me long to catch up with the entire class. Today's schedule was just like every Friday's schedule:

Go to school

Learn something

Get out

Forget about homework

Have fun

I've gotta to go now, Bye!

P.S. I got 100% on my Social Studies vocab test and spelling test!

November 25th, 2002

I understand that I haven't been writing into my journals for these past months because I was busy with school. The summer break was awesome. I went back to Hong Kong AGAIN. It was great. I met up with my friends at my old school and I visited my old teachers. I actually enjoyed myself for once in Hong Kong. I was home alone almost all the time and I played computer games, swam, watched TV, and hung out with my friends. I realized that now I'm going to be a lot different than I have been in the journals above. I'm now in the 7th grade and I'm being pounded with work like all of us. This year, I'm learning French. Here's my class/period lineup:

1st period: Orchestra

2nd period: English

3rd period: French 1A

4th period: Social Studies

5th period: Math

6th period: PE

7th period: Science

SSR/Advisory: Mrs. Monahan
