Man, living on campus have kept me so busy from doing my normal web
business!  I’ll try to summarizes what’s been up lately.

Yup, living on campus is definitely distractive.  There are always
people to hang out w/ all throughout the day and I never seem to get a
rest!  I barely have time to eat…

Which reminds me; the one thing I really miss from home?  MY
HOMEMADE RICE!!!!  O man, I didn’t realized how tasty my home rice
is until being away from it for the past week.  MMMmmmm…..

Classes seem good this semester.  I’m gonna have to study for
Chinese a lot though; that class is gonna be a tough one. 

So busy…i have so many things being demanded by me, especially the
SGA.  It sucks that I missed the retreat; I really would have like
to gotten to know everyone that I’ll be working w/ this coming
year.  I just hope I can do the best job I can, but I’m still a
little unclear on a few things.

MAN i need to play some more tennis…

Finally…my roommates/suitemates are great

IDK, I sorta like the idea…controversial sure, but it sure does spice up Survivor (which shoulda ended ages ago).

Goal:  get arms like him.  Looks like I need extra doses of push-ups into my schedule…

THANKS Andre Agassi for almost giving me a heart attack tonight.  Wassup w/ all the 5 setters man?!

SOooo tired (long Woolie training days ). 
My room’s starting to come together though!  It’s funny that I
brought not enough stuff instead of the other way around.

Besides the habit of wanting to go over to the Commons Garage to drive
back home like I use to, I’ve been having a pretty smooth
transition.  I think I can get use to this living on campus thing

As far as this Woolie stuff…I’m sure things will go smoothly. 
I’ll be a Woolie for Erickson Third South.  I was lucky that my
friend Raelina traded w/ me for Patomac .

O, haven’t post up a secretasianman.com strip recently.  Here’s last week’s:

I’m telling ya, I’m gonna start writing my own strip, maybe about my life on UMBC.  Hmm…i’ll figure that out later.

Just got out of Snakes on a Plane.  Verdict? 

It was everything that I wanted out of this flick (maybe even a little more)! 

I brought 3 buddies who werent as excited as me to see it and they all walked out happy. 

It speaks for itself; GO SEE SNAKES ON A PLANE!!!  Make sure it’s w/ a crowd for extra fun!
–EDIT–

Based on early screenings of Snakes on a Plane, it does indeed looks like it will live up to all these months of hype.  Hearing things like it’s just as hilarious as you expect from the B movie, but it’s not bad awesome; just plain awesome!  Don’t come in looking for the next masterpiece, just accept this movie as the awesome popcorn summer flick, which it proclaims in it’s title oh so elegantly!  I’m gonna watch it tonight and update with what i thought of it.  I’m just hoping that I get a lively audience to pump us the entertainment!  AHH snakes on a plane!

Here’s a quick and easy review of Snakes on a Plane (egotastic.com):

“Say what you will about Snakes on a Plane,
but that was one motherfucking entertaining movie. Was it stupid? Yeah.
Was it violent? Hell yeah. Was it everything you want it to be? Yeah,
Motherfucker!

In a summer of blockbusters that couldn’t quite live up to expectations, or failed misserably, Snakes on a Planes is a fun, funny, thriller with a ton of Motherfucking snakes. And really, what more could you really ask for? It’s called Snakes on a Plane, and that’s what you get. Plus Samuel L. Jackson.

It was definitely a lot more violent and gorey than I expected it to
be, but that was great too. I mean, it’s good to see an R-Rated movie
every once in a while. And how many times do you really get to see a
hot topless chick get bit on the nipple by a snake?

So get all your friends together, and go down to see Snakes on a Plane, a movie that finally, actually lives up to the hype. I can’t wait for the sequel: Snakes on a Space Shuttle.”

Heh check out this pic of Samuel Jackson Badass Ale they were handing out at one of the early screenings:

OOO yea…

Have any of you guys seen these tacky Jesus Sports Statues (http://www.catholicshopper.com/products/inspirational_sport_statues.html)?
Yea, you would think it’s a joke but i dont think so.

Here’s some samples:

Soccer:  Of course Jesus can play in sandles

Karate:  advocating violence too?

Golf:  as captioned by collegehumor.com, “it’s all in the hips, it’s all in the hips…”

Skiing:  Jesus just needs his sandles to glide on snow

Football:  Hey kid in the 21 shirt; I don’t think it’s a good idea to do that…

Chan’s Biggest pet peeve:  Un-freakin-reliable people.  Geez, why can’t people just do what they say they will do damn it?  Stop writing checks you can’t cash .  It’s amazing how many people are not able to do something simple as holding true to their words…

I’m BROKE!!!!!!  Need some fast cash!  I wonder if I can rob a few kids during this weekend…yea, sounds good

Guess what’s coming out this Friday, finally??

That’s right, it’s…

This busy week is finally over!  Past couple of days have been a lot of fun.  Friday night was Christian’s b-day dinner at the Inner Harbor, Saturday was the semifinals at Legg Mason, and today was my parent’s chinese opera show in rockville (my parents are still the best performers!).  My body’s exhausted…

Legg Mason Semi’s pics:

On the shuttle there.  OMG, I can’t believe i didnt take this bus last time i went!  so much nicer…

Jacquie demoing a racket on the clay courts.  Interesting enough, i saw a certain taiwaneselawrence over here later that day .  And yes, she’s playing barefooted (can you say crusty feet?)

Safin‘s magnificent backhand.  We got SOOO lucky w/ our seats; we found some empty seats courtside and we were able to stay the entire time!  OOOOH RIGHT!

Yay, I added Clement‘s signature to the rest of my collection!  Pretty cool that he ended up winning Legg Mason this year

Marv and I trying to pose w/ Clement in the picture (we got his head at least!)

So this week i need to get started on getting books for school.  Summer’s almost done…
——————————————————————————————

Heard of it yet?  It’s a really great Hong Kong Cop Drama w/ Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung as leads.  Sammo’s the bad guy in this one!  I know, it was hard to see at first but he pulls it off very well.  After seeing the clip below I immediately went to order it heh.  Very straight forward movie w/ some twists and nicely done fight scenes.  Check it out if you have the chance!  (Becareful about getting the bootleg version; it cuts out like 2 minutes from the ending which changes some things)

–EDIT–

Video of Henman spiking the ball at me is up now.  Check below.

–EDIT–

    Legg Mason = AWESOME!  I’ll keep this as short as possible, but there’s so much to say!

-Got lost on the way there and took us forever to get back on the metro
-it was HOT and HUMID!  But there was a breeze so not too bad…nonetheless I’m still feeling a little dehydrated
-I’m definitely gonna go back next year to an early session.  Why?  Because there’s so many players to see and they are just walking around just like everyone else!  which means..
-Autographs!  Got autographs from Jim Thomas, Lleyton Hewitt, Bryan Bros, and Jan-Michael Gambill. 
-We were so lucky to have spotted Hewitt practicing over at the practice courts!  He looks just as intense in person as he does on tv
-Serves are indeed much faster in person than on tv.  140 mph serve just zooms by like…damn!

Good times…Now for some pics!  Check out the rest of them at http://umbc.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2017315&l=19337&id=15200041 .

Geico gave him that free hat for being a policyholder.  Definitely should have given him something better than that fruity thing

Bumped into our high school coach!

It’s James Blake’s brother, Thomas!  He was just chilling around, so we ask for a pic and he gave it to us.  Awesome guy.  Looks just like the old version of James haha

Gives you a sense of how close the stands on the outside courts are to the players.  Great views!

Bryan Brothers in action

Signatures all over my program!  yay!

classic Hewitt photo; taken at the practice courts

Look who’s excited about Hewitt

This was around 11pm, so most of the people were gone..which means free seats up front!

Ah, the friendly Bryans Brothers.  Here’s Mike signing autographs near the entrance of the court (I’m next!)

So satified!  Going again once more this Saturday for the semifinals.  Probably wont be as great as this session but it’s all good!

Leave ya w/ a video of Tim Henman Spiking a ball at me .  Aiya!
