I just discovered these little programs that run on Adobe Air. It apparently doesn't take too much power to use, so you can just leave them on the "desktop" running. Very nice. I have one for Twitter and another one for digg. :) Now I don't have to go to their respective websites to read stuffs or to update. Yay!

Anyway, moving on, this past weekend was another clubbing experience. We were supposed to go to Luxy with a whole mess of people (friends of friends of friends, etc.). The whole mess of people showed up, but the table did not. Apparently they sent the confirmation text to the wrong number, so we ended up not being able to confirm our want, no need, for a table. Which means, yup, they gave our table away. We were table-less! Which kinda sucked because there was like 20(?) of us and getting a table would've been more worth it than paying cover. Anyway, the PR person said there was another smaller table that they could give us, but that ended up being a no-go because there was a leak or something, so they weren't allowing anyone to sit there. RAWR! As my sister said, it's weird. They mess up but they're not really doing anything to make up for it. I said it's because they probably don't care about us as it was all the tables are booked, and there was somewhat a line of people paying cover to get in. Not missing out on much if we don't get in, I guess.

We were going to just go in anyway since we were all there, but then one of the persons in the group knew people in another club, Hips, where we could definitely get a table big enough (sorta) to fit us all. So we took the cab there and saw that it was "The only Latin club in Taipei," which worried a couple of us since we weren't really in the mood to dance to Latin music. But then we found out that it was all you can drink for 400 nt for girls (300 if you show your bellay!). I figured, eh, the other option is to go back to Luxy and pay 600+ to get in, so, we go! And it ended up being pretty fun. Apparently they only play Latin music on Fridays or something, so the music ended up being all the mainstream hip hop and pop songs.

All you can drink is bad, though. Bad when your self control is so ... diminished already. There were lots of drunk people towards the end of the night, drunk to the point they were throwing up ... all over the place. And people were passed out at their tables. The floors were disgusting. Mmyaaaaah. Now that I think ab it, *grossed out* not too sure if I'd want to go back there.

There were lots of SKETCHY guys there. When we first went in, there was a circle of guys standing around the dance floor with no one on the dance floor. I'm not entirely sure what they were looking at as there was no one on the dance floor, but then a couple of girls from our group started dancing and you could just see them watching and ... yah, I dont want to know what they were thinking. There was also a lot of guy on guy action. Hah! There was a pole in the middle of the dance floor and a group of guys were going crazy on there ... including taking off their shirts o__O Oh my! My eyes! :P And then there was a "dancing" competition for girls, of course, where basically they just wanted to see the girls take of some articles of clothing. Blech. That was dumb. I mean, the prize was 2000nt, was it worth it? Thankfully our friend had the brains to not take off any articles of clothing. However, cannot say the same for the other two girls .... |||O

One exchange I found particularly interesting occurred when we were at the bar waiting for our drinks:

Middle Age-ish white guy: 你很帥 幾歲啊? (You're handsome, how old are you?)
Super young looking asian guy: 我十七歲 (I'm 17)

.......... Ahhhh, talk about sketch!!! Dunno what happened after that as we left the bar. But I was like, wow. Just wow.

Anyway, it was an interesting night that started off not so great. But we did end up having fun. Well, I did. Not too sure if my sister did. Meh. The end!

You never realize which keys on the keyboard you use a lot until it goes missing. I miss my "tab" key. It fell off randomly the other day. I DON'T KNOW WHY! And I'm too lazy to go to an Apple reseller to get it put back on because I might as well just check in the whole computer to get fixed (I have fan and logic board issues too). I'm also too lazy to back up my data (bad! bad! must! back! up! reminds me of this... teehee!) My poor macbook pro. Not even three years old and it's falling apart already. Well, maybe that's a good thing. I can take advantage of my Apple Care which I only paid 200 usd for! Proud of myself. Thank God I have friends who are cheap and would rather make money than warrantify their laptop. PHEW! I must say, though, this extended warranty has been well worth the money - fixed my fan, replaced my screen, fixed the isight ... and coming up is fixing the logic board, which normally costs hundreds of dollars if the comp's outta warranty. Nothing makes me happier than money well spent. :P

Anyway, IT'S SO HOT. Yes, I finally get to the point. I don't know what the temperature is, but it's humid and hot and ICKY. I miss dry hot summers. So Cal, why did I leave you? Well, it's not like I ever really spent a summer there, though. Always traveled back to Asia or Canada during my four years in UCLA. Maybe I wouldn't enjoy hot dry summers in LA. But now I'll never know! Unless I move there! Ha!

This is a random entry.

Who uses Twitter?! Out of all the gazillion friends I have (I wish), I only have one friend who uses it. And he just recently got it. And the last time he updated was four days ago. What's the point of following him if he doesn't update?! No point I say. So! Who else has got Twitter that I can follow?

Anybody else use Digg.com? I love it. Lots of good entertaining articles that people digg, although you kinda have to sort through them, but hey, when you've got nothing else to do, it's a good time killer.

I'm stressed. Tomorrow's THE DAY I tell the colleague who hired me and got me the full time posish ... I am afraid. Why? Because I feel guilty! Ahhhhh. I don't want to talk about it (even though I brought it up. ha!)

My cousin's getting married this Saturday. Yay.

This entry has become filled with my random train of thoughts.

I'm so tired. Mentally. Physically. Stressing is just bad for your whole system. Cortisol levels are HIGH! Immune system is LOW! Woo! Psych has actually taught me something!

Ok, I shall leave before I say something inappropriate.

OOOO. Speaking of which, funny (sick?) thought I came up with during a convo I had with my friend today (requires knowledge of Mandarin).

Me: it's ok, he can be your gan弟弟 (little brother)
...
Me: gan as in first sound gan(乾), not fourth sound gan(幹).

HAHA. Ok, the only reason why I thought of that was because when I used pinyin to type gan, the Chinese character it gave me first was fourth sound gan (which basically means f*ck!) when I actually wanted the first sound gan (where gan di di means God brother, kinda). So. yah. It was also funny 'cause the guy we were talking about is 17 years old. ooooo. So bad. :P

A little window into my weird little mind.
