Comes around once a year

It's that time of the year again.
















No, it isn't crazy hat day. It's my birthday - the big 2-1 to be exact.
I already had a nice little dinner party on my behalf last weekend at Kirin - it was short and sweet, just as I like it.



I got a good amount of hong bao (red pocket) money this year, so I should invest it properly... hmmm, ipod or xbox 360?
Hehe, well unfortunately I can't celebrate too much - the October 1st LSAT is creeping up, so it's back to practice drills for me :_(
Thanks to Eric for his anime birthday e-card - it was highly appropriate (^^)

Revise and Recap

I think this is chuckang.blogspot.com ver. 05 already.
Anyway, I switched providers, so any images that were on my shaw server are gone, gone, gone :p

It's been about a month since my last post (which is about average for me) - here are some things that have happened since then:

Finished my second summer school course (obviously >:P)

Wow, if I was smart I would've just gone to school in the summer.. I dunno if it's because profs give u more slack in intense courses, if my profs liked my writing, or if I was just really lucky, but I've gotten my highest mark ever in this course. Don't be a fool - take summer school.

Eight trips to Ikea, Four trips to Linens&Things, Three trips to Costco, and Two trips to Home Depot

In other words, I finished moving. The place is still missing a few things, but it's more or less shaped to our liking now; by 'our', I mean my sister and mom's liking... I just ordered a few coffee table books - a taschen architecture book, a book about business cards, and the book of exodus ala Brick (not u Eric... but Lego ^^). I'll post photos of the place later.

Family road trip to Portland (aka P-town) and Seattle (aka Emerald City)

Here come the photos:
At some tourist spot in Portland
At the Farmer's Market in Seattle
Eating @ Todai - buffet sushi and seafood >:)
The first Starbucks Evah !
At the Experience Music Project in Seattle... a pretty cool museum for American music
My sister and the crazy guitar... upside down pyramid thing....
I like Banana Republic.
Space Needle
The fish throwing guys!

Photo Addendum

Hmm I didn't know about this blogger photo add-on... it's much better than the old way of doing it, especially since you can actually post multiple photos now...

Anyway i'm posting some extra Philippine photos here cuz i'm too lazy to log onto imagestation as well hehe


The banana boat ride was a.. painful experience.. we managed to all fall off 5 times within 30 minutes, although my sister managed to fall of an extra 2 times nehehehe
It probably wasn't the smartest move for nick and me to both sit in the back either :p



Weird....
The ol' familia

Anyway, I'll keep this post a short one... I finally finished that project on fast track proceedings, so I can hand it in tomorrow :p Then i'll have to spend the weekend writing an essay (another one on Iraq lol), and cram like mad for the final on friday. Then its moving time... ugg moving stuff from my room here to the new place will be a pain... but i get to try and be like edward norton in fight club and ikea the place up (wow wat an obscure reference).

Once this course is done, I'm thinking of posting alot of photos from this year and last summer on my imagestation account... so thats incentive for u calgary ppl to go make an account. I know you all wanna relive memories of Eric's dancing prowess >:)
