Sunday, July 25, 2005 -- hilarious subs...

so apparently some poeple from Asia pirated the movie star wars episode III that was subbed in Chinese by translating it back to English directly. So here's the result of it...quite hilarious...

seriously though, some of the subtitles would make total sense once it's translate back to Chinese directly.

Saturday, July 23, 2005 -- it's been a while...

It has been a while since I posted anything. Where should I start?

well, I finally became a full time employee at my company (GDA technologies) as of July 1st. Currently I'm working on a project at the HP site, which is pretty cool!

My friend Jeff Caldwell and Julie Wright got married!!

Also, My friend Evan and Kristian Green finally got married. I had a blast going to Angel island for Evan's bachelor's party and was very honored to be one of the groom's men at their wedding.

I had a jazz gig with nick at the old poeple's home on Alvarado. It was pretty fun though I wish we could have had more practice together. (and also wish that I was a better jazz drummer...)

I wrote a new song and currently trying really hard to record it and polish it. (just need some more motivation).

I was supposed to be sent to Boise to work on the HP printer project a few days ago for a month, but it looks like right now I won't be going because I could all the work in Roseville. I'm still looking into the possibility of going for maybe a week or something.

I bought a new laptop and it has been really exhilirating because it's all souped up. 1.86GHz, 1GB RAM, 80GB harddrive, and a DVD writer~~! yay-yah~~! But yeah, I bought it 'cause my boss kept telling me to buy one so I could work at home too. I know it's crazy that why I would buy a laptop so I could take the work home, but he also told me that I could potentially work from home, so that is big draw for me. Being able to work from home does sound cool. Hopefully it will happen at some point in the near future.

Now, to what really matters. Life has been just plain difficult. It hasn't been easy following Jesus after college. Many times I have been distracted by the pursuit of money and pleasure. I guess it doesn't exactly help that I'm not all that disciplined. The relationship hasn't been very easy either. I think this is one of the most difficult times of my life. I feel like I'm standing at an intersection and not knowing what to do. I need serious guidance. Anyways...my parents and sister are coming back to the states, that should be fun!

that's it for now...
