Allen Lew's Thoughts

My old high school has had very few achievements in the history of the Academic Decathlon. These past 4 years, however, have been a different story, as the team has gotten closer and closer to going to the state competition. Past decathlon records have been broken including the “untouchable” record interview score. The bar has been raised it and it is good to know it continues to go higher and higher. My brother has become only the second person in Lincoln High School history to win the Perfect 10 medal at Super Quiz. They scored 49 out of 60 points in that round overall, an incredible score. On February 6, the team will find out more about how they did, how many more medals will they add to the trophy case and whether or not they will advance to the stat competition.

Superfriends Roster: Nash, Panda, Joey, Oz (Kyle), Christina, and others

My roommate Neo (Eugene) turned 19 on February 1. It also turned out to be Chinese New Year and we decided to go to San Francisco. Take a look.

Damn it Panda, why did you block out Oz?

A lot has transpired over the last few months or so. In that period of time, I think I have learned quite a lot about the world around me and myself. And while everything is not going as well as it could be, it isn’t going as worse as it could be. Let the updates begin.

Time add another entry to the subjournal.

-New website moving along quite well. Should be up and running by the beginning of next semester.
-Subprofile has been up for a week or two and not even my roommates have seen it yet. Am I that unpopular? Maybe you should just TELL PEOPLE ABOUT ALLEN!
-Now my cd-rom drive doesn’t work at all, which means I’ll have to send it back. A college student without a computer, bad combination.
-Without a cd-rom drive, I couldn’t update Outlook. And speaking of updates, why don’t people update their software often. It honestly helps performance sometimes and helps with neutralizing security threats on your computer. Go http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and http://office.microsoft.com to perform a few updates and/or turn on automatic updating in the control panel.
-Subprofile is now getting less and less funny.
-You tend to refer to yourself in the third-person a lot in this journal, don’t you Allen?
-Should have told people about subprofile when Eddie didn’t update his, but nooooooooooo…
-Steve now has a website devoted to school that contains his own panda patented Steve-o-Notes for Psychology and Economics. Check it out at http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~stelin/default.htm
-Christina did not know who or what are the Fantastic Four. Do you?
-A couple of us were sitting in the hallway on Thursday night when Chihyon came out to model some jeans. She asked “Do I look good in these?” For God’s sake, she could wear a burlap sack and still look good. We all said yeah and then she said “You sure it doesn’t make me look fat?” Allen then says “You can’t look fat in anything” and we all compliment her. She says “thanks” and goes off to her room. Meanwhile, Allen still looks at her and does not pay attention to the conversion, when Vicky goes “Allen” and he quickly starts paying attention to his other friends in the hall. But all he could think about that night was her in those jeans.
-To all the girls Allen know, if you ever ask him if he think this outfit makes you look fat, don’t bother. He’ll always say no, because it’s true.
-No Allen does not have a crush on Chihyon.
-That night was still cool, even though all we did was talk in the hall way. Bonding with these guys is an experience Allen will never forget.
-Allen went to Beyond the Wall and picked up 2 $5 dollar posters of Star Wars. He then told Eugene about it and picked up a poster of the zodiac that shows some pretty provocative positions. But come on which would you want to look at more, Star Wars or sex? Allen’s pretty sure you’d rather look at Star Wars (which pretty much makes him an idiot).
-I forgot to put this in last time, but the cell phone number is (323)449-9524

After a couple of days without updating, the subjournal is back up and running.

-The subprofile people finally corrected the code for the subprofile, so now there shouldn’t be anymore problems, hopefully.
-Most of you know I got into a car accident on the day before Thanksgivng. If you don’t, go to my journal and read more about it.
-Next week is finals. AS Seungkwon would say “God damn…”
-I’m thinking about adding a best friend for the week in my subpfofile, but it might not be the best idea in the world.
-Finally got a cell phone. All I’ve done with it though is add more ringtones to it.

I was looking forward to going home this weekend. After all, it was Thanksgiving break and it would give me a chance to see my family and friends. However, my cousin (who was driving me home) and I experienced something that will change our lives completely. You see, we got into a car accident and we’re wondering how we managed to get into it and how we got out of it alive. We were driving Southbound towards Los Angeles when all of a sudden, the car just span out of control. We span past the medium, into the northbound lane, into the fencing and into a ditch. Luckily, we weren’t hurt seriously, though my cousin Nicole suffered some minor cuts. Yet the car was a total wreck and we had not way of salvaging it. Thankfully some nice people on their way to Stockton dropped by the call CHP and got them to the scene. The CHP got us to a motel in Los Banos, but owed the car to another city. We don’t know how we span out or how we didn’t get hit by any cars. It might of had something to do with being rear ended by 10 minutes ago, yet we did not have any major damage on the car. I feel bad for my cousin, she didn’t really want to go back to LA, but decided to take me there. My parents plan on arriving here in this motel in the morning, but I wonder what happens next, with this wild unpredictable world.

Edit: The next day, my uncle and my mom came up and drove us back down to LA. I came back a few hours after 10 and finally saw my family in months. Interesting experience I had a day I should never forget.

I just realized I’m gonna have to come up with one really lame title after another. That’s what I get for just putting out random junk on the net.

-Christina finally saw the journal and stuck her tongue out at me. I guess that’s my clue to stop writing about her, but one last thing though. I made a really stupid comment that implied a few things… and let’s just say she said “In your dreams.” Ouch that hurt.
-In case you haven’t noticed all the stuff here is pretty PG, and I for some readon refrain from swear words.
-David doesn’t want me to put up his drinking stories on the net. That takes away so much good material for both journals.
-I was worried about my presentation going shorter than 5 mins. Turns out it went for 15. This is where I’m suppose to insert some witty comment, but nada.
-Subprofile giving me lots of problems. Too many popup ads, bad links, and lots of errors. This is where I’m suppose to insert another witty comment, but again nada.
-I’m finally learning how to use Adobe Premiere. Still would like a few more features like editing WMV and MP3 compression, but it’s stilll better than that super Limited Edition I had at home.
-My new website isn’t ready nor will it be ready for a while. Sorry.
-Wenjie left only 11 hours ago and she already misses us. We miss you too friend.

So much for the short entries. More and more on me and my life now.

-I didn’t put a subject on this one because, well it doesn’t focus on one particular thing.
-I would have had this up sooner, but Joyce needed my help and I answered the call.
-You know it takes me forever to help Sam, Christina, or anybody else with their math homework and yet if they were my homework problems they would be done in no time. Strange.
-And speaking of Sam, thanks for putting me in your journal. I thought I’d be cool and put you in mine.
-Home sickness still coursing through me. Just a few more days Allen… Just a few more days…Just a few more…Just a few…
-Talked to Fabian via Video conferencing. Damn his flashlight to hell.
-I miss you too Julie and yes that is my sister’s sn.
-No spell check means you’ll have to put up with a few spelling errors. Remember i before e except after c, Allen.
-A lot of my girl friends find little sisters cute. Fred hangs up a picture of his just for them . It works too, as all the girls come into our room looking at her pic and say “How cute!”. Now where’s that photo album…
-My burner doesn’t work. And to make matters worse, I only have 1Gb of hard drive left. Looks like no more Kazaa for me.
-More problems: I have no more meal swipes for the semester at the DC. Dining dollars? Spent them all. Does this mean I’m actually going to cook myself something? Hell no!
-I thought these entries would be short, but they take up more space than the journal.
-Webcams are still cool. Get one now.
-If there seem to be only two funny entries in this journal, there are.
-Went to Barnes and Nobles with Dave. Spent two hours reading books we didn’t buy. That’s not good.
-Chinyon owes me a buck, remember that Allen.
-Currently been without Dim Sum in 3 months. That’s way too long. And no way am I going to SF just for that.
-Joey now wears a cape. Only God knows why.
-Have you noticed how those single people sitcoms always have similar characters? The main guy is generally the funny one and has a wacky family, there’s an idiot best friend, sometimes a smart best friend, and the attractive one who seems to always get with the main guy and break up only to remain friends. I wonder if I do that with my group.
-In case you were wondering, I was planning to write a sitcom.

That’s a lot of stuff.

This is the new subjournal. It will serve as a companion to my livejournal. The entries will be shorter and will be updated more frequently than the livejournal. Why do I still have the live journal though? I can’t put pictures on this and I can put my own personal entries and the more memorable stuff (that means no more sock stories in the journal). Without further adieu, here are today’s entries.

Today’s entries:
-“California has won the big game.” Today, we beat our archrival Stanford and reclaimed the axe. Last year, we were 1-10 and had lost 7 straight to Stanford. Now those days are gone. Shame we’re banned from the bowl games this year.
-Yes Cal does have a football team.
-Home sickness starting to set in. I’m coming home soon though. And next thing you know I’ll want to come back to Cal.
-I actually talked to Eugene’s girlfriend on AIM on Friday. Yes ladies, Eugene has a girlfriend. Don’t despair ladies, I’m still available (all the ladies reading this go “damn it”).
-Need more subfriends…Need more subfriends…Need more subfriends…Need more subfriends…Need more subfriends…
-Speaking of Eugene, Christina finally found out what his screenname and she wasn’t happy. She went out to kill him. No girl stays mad at Eugene though and she had a good time talking to her last night.
-We also played a small prank on Christina the other night. She hates Justin Timberlake, but Fred does and she gave him some posters. Eugene, Fred, and I thought it’d be cool to put up the posters on her door and surprise her in the morning. Her roommates awoke and we ran away back to the safety of the third floor. Silly Fred actually missed the stairs though, even though she lives next door to them. He ran and hid in the balcony and luckily wasn’t caught.
-More livejournal entries will be coming soon.

If you see my new profile, you’ll notice I also have a subjournal. The subjournal should contain shorter entries, but it has no spell check nor the capability to post pictures, so keep checking this journal out. I won’t abandon the livejournal though and I should finish the revisions to the journal as well as adding new stories. In the mean time though, you can check out the subjournal. To the Subjournal
