[hangin out at UIUC]
got back to UIUC on friday at 6:30 just in time for CFC's "Praise Night". it was amazing. skits were hilarious, i think my voice is kinda hoarse cuz i laughed so much. and their worship was really really good. it was amazing to see so many people there. so many ASIAN people. met a few of dan's friends and we hung out for a while, walkin around, ate dinner, got back at a decent time.. thought i was goin to go to bed pretty early... that is until i was kidnapped from my hotel by two unnamed criminals =P

next day my mom and i went swimming. felt soooo good. still in process of teachin my mom how to swim. made me think about joining the swim team again.. but this time the skewl's... dont' know if i'll be able to commit to such a tedious schedule, being that they have to wake up at 5AM everyday for practice... hmm..
mom and i met up with arthy and kev for korean food and bubble tea, then went to the undergrad lib for a few hours to get some of my paper done. psch, that was a waste.. all the info i acquired was only accessible on UIUC comps as i later found out. poopy


[ghost ship]
saturday at Midnight we went to watch Ghost Ship. EWWY. disgusting. it was a really good movie tho. ... screamed twice really loudly durin the movie. (*ahem* matt, i'm forcing u to see it) hungout a lil with them afterwards. coon decided to bring me krannert. we sat around and talked a bit. good times =) really really missing brotherhood and really really really missing talkin to coon, but realized that things are still the same when we're together =) got home at around 3AM and sat there for a really long time thinkin about college... why's it gotta be so difficult =P

[super-delay]
our flight from willard to chicago was originally at noon. it was canceled, so we took a flight to st. louis at 1:34.. to connect to a flight to newark at 2:45. that flight was delayed and we ended up leavin st. louis at 6:30. totally messed me up.. had a paper to do when i got home

[numero uno all-niter]
pulled my first all-niter last nite as a result of my lack of work for the paper. it was fun. tim, sofia, jordan, nisa, and i stayed online, checkin up on each other, giving each other advice on the death paper, and keeping each other awake. i didn't become tired as much as i became dizzy. the room was spinning. despite delirium, nisa and i came out with a pretty well-written/well-thought out essay. i like it =) still a bit dizzy. came home early cuz of it.

["nipples"]
i told weigand the story of when Mr. Gorman called me "nipples"... so today i go to visit him and he jumps up from his seat and goes "i gots to cho u somethin man!" so he walks me over to the canvas i've been building, and i find it all made. he put together the frame, strectched it.. and even added support beams so that it won't distort. made me so happy. then he turned it around, and on the tag where my name was supposed to be, it said " "nipples" cheng" hehe. kewl stuff =P yeah, i have a really good idea for my next painting, but there's a lot of room for error on this one cuz i'm slowly but surely moving away from the abstract... which is a million times harder cuz no i actualy have to use art skills...
