Being Productive

woke up @ 11am today. Yes AM, not PM. Wasn’t worth it. Had to work on my cs project and midterm review. Yuck. However, I felt very productive today. Finished my cs homework, went to dinner @ La Val’s (2 medium pizza for $16 total, so $4 each for 4 ppl). Then I went for Boba at Quikeleys. Their milk green tea wasn’t as good as the one I usually get at asian ghetto food court. Then we went to unit one to shoot pool and foosball (yay! 2 guys beat 1 girl, hehe) I know we were bastards, but the girl almost won so we really felt incompetent ;p.

Btw, I got my first real compliment from beardseeba today about my tail. He said he didn’t like it yesterday, but he’s gotten into it and is starting to like it. W00h00!!! Girls however still don’t seem to like it, ex: rainy and cari. =) btw, I find it better calling it a tail than a mullet. Never even knew what a mullet was!

Nothing else much happened to today.

New addition to my body

that was a good sleep. 5am to 5pm. Wow 12 hrs. guess I was really tired. Hehe. Today was a good day. Went to Target (college student’s heaven), but I didn’t find my downy balls. Sigh. Walmart is better because they have downy balls. Target didn’t have the foosball we came to look for either. It was on sale for $24. Check out this foosball table. Even online for $35 + s/h (~$40) is still a really good deal. Both the Target @ El Cerrito and Pinole had these clearance items sold out. Sigh…

guess what guys!!! Science Olympiad is in a week!!!! For those that actually check my site, GOOD LUCK!! I hope you guys will “enjoy” this year’s competition and be able to perform your best. Cross your fingers and hope mango won’t be in one of her moods that day. (for some reason she always is, especially after the competition where she criticizes everything *shiver*). Hmmmmm, I wonder if my site will ever reach her. I’d be in deep sh*t if it does. Hehe. I also hope she has NO IDEA what a krunk is.
I got my haircut today!!! Thanks to the almighty sam and his clipper skills. He also gave me a

My tail. I still haven’t decided to keep it yet. Initial responses from my friends weren’t that great, however they say it gives me attitude, but I believe they’re just trying to console me.

Oh yeah, I updated yesterday’s news because apparently I forgot something very important.

DC on Friday = Clam Chowder

My experience with the Post Office was extremely good today. Wait time was less than 20mins and I had jamba juice as I waited. (don’t get orange dream thingy, was okay, but not too good). My midterm is due in an hour, and as I was doing the practice problems, I realized I had no idea how to graph these weirdos! Oh no!!! I’m doomed!!!!

Thanks to my friend jhchichiri! He saved my life! Gave me a 30sec lecture on how to graph xy=z and other weird spherical and cylindrical graphs. *whew*

Midterm just ended. Didn’t do too well, but oh well. Ran outta time. =( I just took the IM addict quiz. 52% addicted to Instant Messenger. How about you? You guys are in for a treat for next week’s picture. ^_^x

YES! YES! YES! I finally got to eat at the DC on Friday. You know how many days I’ve missed my Friday meal????????? I was invited to Chevy’s today and declined because I promised myself I was going to eat at the Dining Commons finally. Initially I promised to go eat Thai with cari and I realized I promised myself I had to eat at the DC, but thank god everything worked out and cari changed it to Sunday. I felt bad declining my friend’s invitation to Chevy’s though and made up a really bad excuse of having gone to Chevy’s a few weeks before. Why am I obsessed with DC on Fridays. Not only because I haven’t been to the DC once during Friday since the semester started, but because they have Clam Chowder!!!!!! Their clam chowder isn’t exceptionally good, but I have an obsession for clam chowder. They just taste good no matter who makes them. Of course there will be those that oppose to my liking of the DC’s clam chowder which many think is bad. Once again, I’d like to take the time to apologize to lori and milkmandan.

Doodle

Check out this awesome picture. (thanks to my friend ungsunghero). Sure brings back memory of my Street Fighter days. You know I just noticed a big mistake I’ve had with all my news. They’ve been saying: 2001 instead of 2002. lol, guess it’s my subconscious telling me that time should slow down.

Today wasn’t one of my good days. It wasn’t that bad either. The realization that tomorrow is my midterm is really scary, cause besides homework, I have no idea what is going on. During math discussion, which I should’ve been paying attention because he was going over the practice midterm (I tried… I really did! But I fell asleep), I drew a doodle which I believed was worth displaying. This was all done in paint with a regular mouse.

Anyway, I’d love to continue my chat with you guys, but I really have to go and make my “quarter page cheat sheet” for my midterm tomorrow. Ciao~

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Forgot to wish everyone a HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR yesterday. My friend Goshtic gave me this hilarious flash music video to wish everyone a happy new year. As for the picture of the week, it has now been updated. I hope you like this week’s pic (pun for pick also, hehe).

Today can be considered one of my best days of the week. Can’t believe how much work I can do just by waking up earlier. Besides my normal classes today. I went to speak to the Head TA for my math class, went to the Office of Registrar to pick up a GPA Verification form (for those that want to re-apply for Cal Grant, I urge you to pick it up asap and mail it back to your high school if you’re still a freshman because it needs to be postmarked by March 2nd), and attended a psychology research project (which I’ll talk about in the next paragraph).

The psychology project was extremely weird. The point of the project was to try to express feelings through our hands without seeing any other part of our body. Basically, there’s 2 ppl (a toucher – me, and a touchee – victim). Throughout the experiment, we never saw each other’s face. I had very low confidence in trying to express feelings like embarrassment and pride and some weird stuff through my hands. I didn’t even have any clue what I was suppose to do. But all in all, it was fun.

I’ll be heading down to the Post Office again Friday, ugh. Going to ship another DVD-ROM drive and my GPA verification form. Here’s a quote from my friend ungsunghero: you don’t like POS POs, do you?

School Problems

I’ve just been bombarded with tons of problems. Just realized I’m still not enrolled in Math 54 (linear algebra and linear differentials). Already setup a meeting with the Head TA for tomorrow. Then I have a Math 53 (multivariable calculus) midterm on Friday I just found out. I actually marked it on my calendar, but didn’t realize it till I went to discussion today. Then I need a GPA Verification Form which I still have no idea what to do with it yet, but have to submit it somehow to apply for Cal Grant. WHY CAN’T LIFE SLOW DOWN!!! Things were just starting to look good when I had my homework done last week. I couldn’t even get up for class this morning since I did homework till 6am running off M&Ms. Staying awake is one thing. Staying awake to do homework is a totally different thing.

My friends Liam and Lydia and I had a discussion on how guys and girls hate each other differently. Guys tend to never hate girls for we see them as delicate beings who need to be loved. Guys can find girls annoying and that’s when we began to ignore them, but deep inside we don’t hold grudges or hate them extensively. When a guy truly hates a girl, he has no problem admitting it. I hated this girl in elementary school so much because she was always so cocky and stuck her nose up at me. I can clearly remember times when I beat her on a test and I would yell “YES!!!” just to make her feel bad. Girls on the other hand, tend to hold all types of hatred deep inside them. They act normal and friendly in front of each other, but once they are alone with others, they talk behind their back and basically badge on each other. I can never see a guy doing that, although there are exceptions, but I’m talking about a typical guy vs a typical girl. I hope this won’t stir up a case against me for being sexist for I’m scared of the yellow lawyer lady-man (inside joke from psych 2).

Apple = Window?

waited in line in the post office for 45mins today. The lines here are much worse than Monterey Park. Maybe it’s because of the long arduous walk there. Takes 15mins alone just to get there from my dorm. Wished I had my car. *drooools*

I noticed a very bad habit I make when instructing people to troubleshoot their computers. I tend to say: push apple + pause break, but what I really mean is window + pause break. For some weird reason, I can’t acknowledge there’s a window key, but I’ve always known there was an apple key. Oh well, Microsoft sux anyway. Linux all the way!! ^_^x

Well, I’ve already obtained my picture of the week, but won’t be posted yet due to request of a special friend of mine, mechy. It’ll be posted on Wednesday at the latest. Thanks to my loyal friends who come back and visit my website every so often.

That’s all for tonite, need to start homework which is due tomorrow. Maybe will add some more tonite, but would most likely be posted tomorrow.

Math53…

I’m so f*cked tonite. CS project is due tomorrow and I barely started it. Guess that’s what procrastination brings you. Then I have Math53 (multivariable calculus) hw due Tuesday! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I’m so screwed. I shouldn’t even be here tonite, but I’m so bored so maybe this’ll help release some tension.

Thanks to my buddy Panzer, he sent me this hilarious music video: YATTA!. It’s ~27megs and I got a great kick out of it. May seem weird to some and even disturbing, therefore I warn you to watch this at your own risk. -_^x I’ll probably remove the file in a week or so to conserve space.

Btw, I got MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) back up and running. Currently I have 60+ games running through this emulator. You can download a lot of roms from www.mame.dk, but downloads to me were extremely slow. Great classics like Marvel VS Capcom, Samurai Showdown, and etc are available on this emulator. Enjoy! Email me if you have any questions running it. (now I know where my who weekend went, hehe ;p)

One last thing, if you haven’t noticed, my website is now running off ocf.berkeley.edu. www.krunk.tk is now redirecting to the new location, so if you bookmarked that, you have no need to worry/change. Updates and loading time should be a lot faster now.

KIISFM

Even with the wide variety of radio stations, mp3s, and other audio devices, I’ve ended up listening to KIISFM 102.7 once again. I’ve added the link to the left under Personal for those that want to try it out.

Thanks to my friend Goshtic, he’s located a collection of Xiao Xiao’s projects. I’ve always thought it ended @ 4, but apparently there’s 8 now.

Get your own *.Reshall.Berkeley.EDU domain

Got back @ 3:30 am this morning from San Francisco. Where’d I go? Here’s a hint:

“Doctors are nuts concerning elephants. Chiropractors loosen up bones.”

I had a great time and it was so much fun. But so tired right now. I’ll probably continue this tomorrow. Luv it when your first class is @ 2pm. ^_^x

W00h00. classes are over on a purdy Friday afternoon. My friend PreyX just showed me something awesome. For most people in Berkeley, we have hostmasks like:
hil-101-150.Reshall.Berkeley.EDU

But now you can change it to: _____.Reshall.Berkeley.EDU just by going to HelpDesk and submitting a request like this:
I’d like to have hostname _____.Reshall.berkeley.edu. Thanks.
Then BOOYAH! Now I have krunk.Reshall.BERKELEY.EDU

Just got a reply from them. Here’s what they said:

OK, all done. Here is some info on the change:
After enabling a new hostname for your computer, the complete name for your computer will be new-name.reshall.berkeley.edu. This change is final. You will not be allowed to change your hostname a second time, so consider your choice carefully.
Hostnames may only be changed for residents who already have an In-Room Connection. Changes will take effect by the morning after the day they are submitted.
