I finished my CS project. Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Well, all thanks to my wonderful partner, Nam. He\’s so smart. So easy and fun to work with. Richard bribed me with JACK today. Ya think I fell for it? Nah, I just ate it all. :)

I didn\’t notice until now but Lele posted a few comments about the A&F controversy below. Well okay, I admit that I wasn\’t exactly informed about the entire issue. No doubt, there will be some protest/boycott here on the Berkeley campus very soon. Which brings up a good point…are protests/boycotts really useful? The Palestian protest they had a few weeks ago was disruptive and disrespectful (noting that it was also the Day of Remembrance for the Holocaust). And additionally, I had an argument with Anthony the only white friend I ever had here…about protests. He thought they were futile since they blocked their way to class…blah blah…and it didn\’t create any urgency for the issue other than making people annoyed and irritated.

Okay I lost my train of thought. :p And I was about to make a good point too.

Uh yeah, racism/ignorance sucks?

There was a good point made somewhere about how the controversy is almost nearly a publicity stunt.

I can say that I am a hypocrite though, because when someone made a comment about my ethnicity, I would lash back with such urgency. Still, personally…I think the girl in CS lab was making a big fuss, especially raising her voice when everybody was concentrating on coding. It\’s true that because of this…according to her, Asians will never rise in society. What to do then since we\’re only 3.6% of the total US population.

And I am still an indifferent college student.

Oh gawd. WHAT IS THIS?! I receieved the e-mail late at night.

Jennifer:

Congratulations!

And I thought I was giving up hope already. I thought I had the worst interview, but I guess not since they hired me. OMG!!! I really was kicking that position aside because it\’s underpaid and overworked. Hmmm…

How boring. I noticed this today. I am the last Asian American to comment on Abercrombie and Fitch. I could care less, as I am about indifferent about anything politically in this world. I guess that comes from living in Berkeley, huh.

Yesterday, while I was working with Nam on the CS project, I couldn\’t help but hear an asian girl (who I thought was annoying to begin with) talking to this white guy about the A&F controversy. \”Asians are so underrepresented…the world needs change now!\” Blah blah. It kept building up that I couldn\’t concentrate on coding, since she was being so loud. The entire lab almost quieted for a second to listen to her speak. Personally I have never bought anything from Abercrombie and Fitch. First, because stereotypicall like all Asians, I am cheap. Second, because there\’s no A&F near where I live!!! The closest one is in Union Square. My sister\’s 17th birthday present was from there. An A&F visor.

And so what if they make fun of us. Maybe I was spared or something, because I never encountered a racial slur or perhaps I never noticed. Although I grew up in a Caucasion-dominant community, I felt…well accepted for my ethnicity. But ya know just like high school, I wasn\’t accepted because…uh I was a geek/nerd? And a lack of social skills, I must say.

Nonetheless, I wouldn\’t be caught dead wearing those shirts, because I don\’t associate myself with Chinese that often. And besides, the pictures looked dorky in the first place.

Which Nokia handphone are you?

Yeah I thought I would stop doing web quizzes. BUT OMG! I am my CELL! Well, almost, my cell is a Nokia 3390. Too bad all the good Nokia models aren\’t being used in the United States.

Which Dodo\’s Message Board staff are you?

Daynah made me take it! :) Tay definitely fits me.

I am a GEEK!

Although now I think I broke the rules of GEEK culture. :(

Well… dot dot dot… I wanted a better picture than that!

Surprise surprise! I am Jenn! :)

Which Blaharian ancestor are you?

Actually I came up with that test awhile but we never finished until recently. Check out the BLAH BLOG which is still going through a process of renovation. ;)

Nam and I finished our cs project today. That took approximately six hours total. Six hours of coding and debugging. I actually wrote most of it while Nam told me his ideas and I implemented them in C.

*start rant*

Gawd, but I was really IRKED when Sam imed me asking whether I finished the project or not. Well it wasn\’t that…it was when he blatantly criticized me for being lazy for not coding the project totally on my own since I am often clueless in CS. And so like…he has been working on his portion of the project for awhile. Hello?! He was the one who suggested that I work with my partner so like…where one codes and the other thinks. What a hypocrite. And additionally, I didn\’t get to mention how I understood the project now…since my partner was so good. And I learned stuff along the way.

*end rant*

It\’s funny. Nam always laughs loud and hilariously at every joke I make. Lame as they are.

In case of power failure or if your computer crashes, use abacus. If abacus does not boot up properly, check battery.
