Calm down

I just figured out how to setup my website yesterday.
I freaked out.
I was happy and high off so many different things.

Phone dropped.
Lanyard lost.
Illusion(?) shattered!

Sigh. Just sigh.

Fangirling

Can I just say how beautiful this debate is?
Can I just forever fangirl about AI?

Gamma, stop judging me. It's the first time I'm actually learning at COSMOS. x]

Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

... Boardwalk!

I tried potato-on-a-stick... very deliciouso.

Big Dipper? Twas gr9. Sitting with Alex, the tallest kid evar, was absolutely freaky. The bar didn't even go near my lap; I think it was probably 1.5 ft above. Anyways, I got some serious air on the drops, which was practically every 10 seconds. Super fun!

Underground spin wheelie? Great dance move lessons. Get nearer... then knee right to the stomach. Go in for the kiss... then head slam. Hand shake. "Thank you very much for the dance." Oh yes, and of course, the ride was awesome. There was some serious inertia on the turns.

Scary house ride? My gosh, it wasn't even supposed to be that bad. Thanks seat partner for making it scary as possible. LOL. "We are tigers-- mighty, mighty tigers!"

Pretty fun(:

Karaoking

That was totally wonderful. Bonding with my floor ^.^

uh.. not to mention losing some part of my innocence at dinner.
Well, today was pretty wonderful.
God. Note to self: keep phone in backpack at all times!

Sigh.
Gonna rock karaoke night tomorrow? Leggo.

Forgotten Syntax

I've been using python so much recently. I completely forgot the syntax for java!
My gosh. I'm not sure how to proceed from here.

Sunday!

Today, I leave for COSMOS. Packed super late as usual. (In fact, still packing now...)

Yay! I'm pretty excited, but my ecstatic feelings have been dampened by nostalgia. Certain things can't help but to be remembered... I (we?) had a routine with packing, saying farewell, that sorts of things.

I can't be more than grateful to my frans who helped me last night. They definitely dealt with my periodic super giggly hyperactive mood (lol dat pun).

The Evening Promenade

So, I recently moved back to my old house after a year's long of remodeling. Because of my hectic schedule and other reasons, I've began taking nightly walks.

Taken with the HTC One (supposedly has a great camera)

Let's just say that I really miss my childhood town. Every corner and every bush I pass by contains a small memory of the fondest times.

I remember walking home with Emma in the 5th grade. We'd pretend to be the Winx and just dance along the sidewalk. We'd spend forever watching the monarch butterflies dance off the flowers. Every now and then, we'd  dab their wings. You know, it's said that the golden dust on their wings brings good luck.

Are these pictures high-quality?

I also remember biking up and down the streets with Michelle, Emily, Miranda or Avani. As for my latest expedition, Avani and I would ride with our phones blasting from our pockets, singing "Bohemian Rhapsody", Michael Jackson, Hairspray. I remember like it was just yesterday, but guess what? That was more than a year ago!

I'm feeling pretty tired now. Nostalgic, perhaps? Sad, when I look back at all these happy memories and realize it was years ago. It's wonderful though-- that I can still walk around and remember how it was.

There's also a certain type of aura to this town. Maybe my bias is just getting towards me, but as soon as I stepped out of the house, I felt at peace. Especially around 7:30, the sun casts this wonderful glow that makes everything look brighter and sharper. (That may also explain why the pictures are so bright.) Then, when I'm walking home at 8:30, I see night slowly consuming everything. The colors blend everywhere, and it absolutely just takes my breath away.

Now, I may sound totally lame (and I probably do), but I'm tired so spare me the hate. What I love most about this town is the life. It's the tiniest city in the area. It borders 3 larger ones and you can easily bike from one end to another (North-South borders) within 30 minutes. But to me, it's also the liveliest town. Maybe this might change when the school year swings around, but around 7:30 everyone is around! I see friends from elementary school. I see college kids kicking around a soccer ball. I see toddlers, dogs, old grandparents, and working adults. I see runners, athletes, and every sort of healthy, happy person around. Granted, it's not perfect. (I saw a giant feud break out in the middle of a park last night.) I think our town is pretty great though. I went out for plenty of walks in the complex I was living in for the past year. The only people I saw were tired people straggling home or hyperactive 8 year-olds shooting nerfs at each other.

It's a different community here. These past couple days, I've been walking, and I feel great whenever I'm out. I've been hanging out with Ishani and Avani; they're incredibly uplifting. I tried playing soccer with the college kids, and that wasn't the most ego-boosting activity... but it was super fun!

Anyways, what I guess I wanted to say is that I'm glad I'm home. <3

Oh btw,

I slept at 5am yesterday night.
LOL So much for never doing it again.

Mémoire 7: 2nd Assignment

1st assignment down by day 8
2nd assignment down by day 9
<3

and my work will be immortalized. LOL
I can't even say how excited I am right now.
These accomplishments are so minor; I doubt I'll remember them in a few years.
I'm very excited though.

Never Again...

... am I sleeping at 5am.
I made that mistake for the FIRST TIME last night.
Never, never, never.
Gotta employ that "kbye" method and actually follow through.
LOL. Otherwise, I'm just giggling left and right.
Freaking out gamma and shit.

"Developer beware."

LOL. I feel like this needs to be on a doggy hazard sign.

Sound of Music

Rockin' out hard. HARD.

Anyways, just for being super cool...
Shout out to Weiiiiiiiiiannnn <3 if you see this (probably if you keep refreshing Chrome).
(I guess you have the right to be creeped out. ~crie)

Awaiting response...

for 1st assignment completed?

Excited. I was giggly and jumping up and down...
until Gamma started being a jerk. THANKS MAN.

jk. He can't ruin my giggliness.
But it's like 1:21am. I think my giggliness only lasted like 10 minutes. Nbd. LOL.
Bc then, I started thinking about the alternative... what if my code should've created an inner table?
Oh no, the work I'd have to put in to correct that... :( Oh, man.

One More Week!

Until COSMOS! :D
Do I even have enough clothes to pack?
Do I even have a suitcase? LOL

Hm, I still have to write a post on Europe. I will and I shall. Note to self! Do it.


But will I be excited for a month away from parents?
A month of adventurous learning and people?
Wau, I'm hoping it'll be as amazing as everyone says it is.

Evolution of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky"

Creds to the Weinstah. Loved the 1930's, 1940's.
Ey, ciao!

Mémoire 6: First Day Jokes

"I don't know if you have friends but..."
"Is this an engineering thing? You ask from one engineer to another if you have friends?"
"Yes, most definitely. Of course!"

There's no place like 170.0.0.01!

Just wanted to record this. My first day was pretty amazing. Hey, it was embarrassing at times. It was a bit awkward, but overall, it was absolutely wonderful. Loved the office, loved the team. Loved everything! Hopefully, I won't be as awkward or feel out-of-place the next time I come in. It takes some getting used to, I suppose. Again, looking forward to the next few weeks. It'll definitely be a great challenge and a wonderful learning experience. Hope time moves slowly from here on out. :)

Here's to a great summer!

Looking Forward

Today was pretty damn overwhelming. Sitting there... I was pretty much speechless. I'm super excited for what's in store! Leggo.
