I opened Steven's package on the 21st :) Blagging this now because I've been "busy"/lazy, so I kept on pushing this back to now ._.

So when I open  Steven's gift, the first thing I do I read Steven's card and then get all emotional because it's so heartfelt. It's a very cute card from the outside too, he drew a Teemo! The back has a lovingly drawn recycle-heart with "This card is made with 100% tender love and care," I thought that was very sweet :)

AND THEN I SCREAM LIKE A GIRL WITH JOY (on the inside, momma would yell at me if I did it out loud) BECAUSE I SEE A SEXY, BADASS BLACKWIDOW KEYBOARD. I wasn't expecting something that awesome. Steven told me that he wrote on it with that silver Sharpie, so that gets me even more excited. I think it's cute how he signs his name on the bottom of it. He also wrote some stuff on the inside of the box, which gives me one more reason to keep the box (I like keeping them Razer boxes because they look cool).

Aside from looking sexy and badass, it feels very sexy and badass as well. I could type on it alllll day if I wanted to, the loud clacking noises is like music to my ears, seriously.

He also got me a cute piggy usb and included the silver Sharpie that he wrote with. I'm going to treasure that Sharpie forever because Steven wrote with it, and I'm only going to use it on very special occasions.


Before Steven's gift, Kai took me to some really good sushi restaurant after we finished our homework... even though we spent most of the time looking at online shops. We got matching cellphone charms haha, I have a ninja sword and he has nunchucks. I had to write about Steven first because there was just too much anticipation, especially since I got his gift two days before my birthday and I was being good enough to wait.

On Saturday, Michelle, Albert, and Vi surprise visited my house to go to a zoo (read: they came over to my house to forcefully take me to the zoo) and to give me a betta fish. I guess it's because I always like staring at the betta fish in the pet shops. I named him Beemo after Beemo from Adventure Time!

Beemo is the first pet that I ever had to take care of by myself and I don't want to be a bad momma, so I'm doing a lot of internet reading on betta fish. I started out by getting him a new one-gallon tank (apparently that's still too small, but it's the best I can do for now :<) because the other one is really tiny and holds only about 2 cups of water. I think he likes his new tank though, he's swimming around in it a lot more rather than hanging around at the surface like in the little tank.

I also received James' and Kyle's package on Monday! Apparently James is sort of new at sending stuff in the mail because he didn't write our names with the addresses when he sent it out. But I guess it works, or else I wouldn't have gotten it.

Kyle got me the cutest cookbook ever! It's more of a cupcake-decorating book that a cookbook but hey, the stuff in it is pretty cute. It's called Hello, Cupcake! I have to make something from it someday.

Especially page 81. Mmmmm, page 81.

He wrote stuff on the inside covers too! I actually didn't notice it at first because I just opened the book to a random page in the middle and just skimmed the awesome pictures and some of the text. And then I started actually reading it from the very beginning to  end. I think it's very cute how he added a PPPPPS at the inside of the back cover :)

James got me a much-needed mousepad on which he artistically wrote "Razer Goliathus" on the bottom left corner, as well as a "To: Becky Wu" and "James Chuong." My mouse feels soooo good on it, I can't even explain. That's also +1 more Razer merchandise added to my small collection.


He also gave me that postcard of Cuba that he was supposed to blag about but never did. And he called me short. I really like how this picture came out, even though I edited and played around with it a bit (the page 81 one too!)


James also reminded me that I need to play StarCraft more, even though I almost never have any alone time anymore because my sister usually comes home a little before I do, meaning that I'll most likely lag. I don't have time to play on breaks either, and a netbook most likely can't run StarCraft. :(

My mom's brother's side of the family finally moved in, too. I'm pretty distant with my mom's brother, but his wife is really nice and friendly. As for their son... he does not run out of energy, ever. He's usually up at 6 or so in the morning and cooks himself breakfast with hot sauce and can entertain himself for a while by just running from the hallway and jumping onto his bed over and over and over. And he's just nine years old. I don't get how he can do that. He talks a lot too, most of the time to himself I guess.

So that sums up all my birthday events. To be honest, I would have been perfectly happy with just cards or notes, since they're so full of love ♥ But I enjoyed the presents a lot too, I feel that you guys were spot-on with them :)

Today I went to dim sum with Michelle, Albert, Teresa, Kai, and Vi :) I haven't had dim sum in the longest time ever, and this was the first time going with friends instead of family. We mostly ate shrimp-related foods like ha cheung and ha gaao.

Then Kai had to go somewhere afterward so the rest of us went to Times Square for Crumbs and Sephora.

We stumbled upon a lady (while we were searching for a restroom) that was giving out coupons for a free cupcake at Crumbs (!!!) and all of us obviously jumped at the offer because we like to eat. Except for Michelle. :| Here we are, eagerly holding onto our coupons.

Michelle, Albert, and I went to IHOP today to eat :) I ordered this raspberry mocha coffee which tasted terrible and these strawberry-banana pancakes that tasted awesome, although I think the blueberry pancakes taste better :9 We did not leave the waitress a cheap tip this time, unlike all the other times where Michelle and Albert and I left the waitresses cheap tips because we were broke.

Michelle and I also bought some more nail polish yay :D The colors I got are called Black Onyx, Angora Cardi (which is this really pretty dusty rose kind of color), and Hot Coco. I know I already have a brown nail polish, but Over The Taupe kind of has a purplish tint to it - it's not very noticeable, but yeah. I wanted one that resembles more of a chocolate color :>


And then we went to Dunkin' Donuts just to chill for a while, since Michelle wanted to talk about some personal stuff. Her apartment would have been nicer to be in since it'd be more comfortable, but she didn't want to go because her mom was home and didn't want her to hear what she had to say. I also took my physics assignment there. I got stuck on a few problems, but finished about a third of it. :)

After that, we went to some senior care center to visit Michelle's grandma and stayed there for about an hour just talking to her and keeping her company. It was mostly Michelle talking though, since her grandma can't talk much except for saying "mo" (kind of like "none" in Canto) and laughing. It's really depressing there. :( We were on the third floor and all their patients were lined up in the hallway outside of their rooms because apparently it's easier to supervise/take care of them that way. It kind of reminded me of a prison, I think. There was this other woman who wanted to tell me and Albert this story, and all she said was that she didn't have teeth, over and over again. As horrible as it sounds, it's a very scary place to be in. Most of the people there don't even get visits from their family. :/

There was this really hot nurse there though

Albert also gave Michelle and me Valentine's notes! It made me feel quite special since nobody really gives handwritten notes anymore except for on stuff like birthday and Christmas cards. THANK YOU ALBERT!! ♥ ♥ ♥

Oh, and this was the origami zergling I was making. I fail. :(

He talked to me today on the bus, after class :D It's kind of weird I guess, since Steven said that he hopes Mystery Hot Guy is going to talk to me this morning.

So Mystery Hot Guy and I get on the bus, and it's pretty packed so we're standing next to each other. I was texting/calling one of my friends because we were supposed to hang out and I was waiting for my friend to pick up/text back (he never responded, turns out that he pulled an all-nighter and went to sleep at 12 noon :<), and then Mystery Hot Guy says to me, "How'd you do on the test?"

And then we just talk a bit about ourselves and our interests and stuff like that until I get to my stop. And since there's a bunch of shoveled snow at the stop, I stupidly sort of do a jump-hop thing on the snow, hoping that the snow doesn't get into my boots.

Snow got in my boots.

His name is Zaron and he's half Dutch and half Indonesian :O

Michelle, Albert, and I went to Barnes and Noble yesterday and got The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy! Kyle recommended it to me (sort of, I think? Sometimes I don't remember stuff too clearly and I might just be making half of it up). The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was around $15 and another book with the whole "trilogy" + a bonus story was $20, so the Ultimate Guide was a better deal than just the Guide. I didn't have enough money to pay for the whole thing so Michelle had to lend me $4. I would have bought more money with me but I thought we were just going to hang out around Flushing and I didn't want to bring more than $20 because of those stupid impulse buys.

We also went to Five Guys! They have the best burgers and fries ever :>

In other news... my sister gave away the watch that I gave her. It makes me sad, because the only reason I gave it to her is because she really wanted the Chococat one :(

We got our exam results back today, I got an 84. :( I could have gotten something in the low-mid 90s if I hadn't made so many stupid mistakes, like forgetting to do an extra step of simplifying or forgetting to put a negative sign in front of a number. I always forget to do little things like that. I should double-check my answers more often. :/ I think Mystery Hot Guy had a really surprised expression on his face when he got his exam back, so it either means that he a) did really bad on the exam and thought that he did better, or b) did really good on his exam and didn't expect to do so well. I'm thinking it's a) 8|

I went to Main St to meet Michelle and Albert after class. Mystery Hot Guy went on the same bus that I did, I don't think he usually takes the 27 bus to Flushing :O But he got off the last stop just like I did, and he was sitting in the front and I was sitting in the back and he went to the back to get off. Michelle said that I should talk to him and go up to him to say something like "Hey, you're in my math class!" (not bold enough for that), while Albert said that I should say "Hey, you're in my math class! How big is your penis?" lolol

...I think I should kinda stop talking about Mystery Hot Guy so much, because I don't even know him and he could be a totally hot person with an unattractive personality.

I also met this sort of creepy guy at the bus stop too, I thought he was just being nice to me when he jokingly asked if I wanted to sit down (because y'know, it was snowing but the snow wasn't sticking so it just made the benches by the bus stop all wet), and then proceeded to introduce himself and ask questions about me. Creepy thing is, he's like maybe in his late 20s - early 30s? And we both got off at the last stop too, we walked like a block together before going our separate ways and he kept on hinting that he wanted to stay in contact and said that he's not good with "pretty girls like me" and I'm just all wtf awkwaaaaaarrrrrd --

But anyway, Michelle showed me these places where you can get nail polish for a pretty cheap price. The places are pretty ghetto-looking, like warehouses. But the nail polish there is legit and not fake, so I'm happy! I bought a brownish one and a coral-ish one, as well as a much-needed base coat, because I've been being cheap and using clear nail polish instead (which doesn't help much, since the nail polish still pretty much stains my nails). I can't really imagine myself using the coral-colored one, because I don't wear anything pink. I'll give it to my sister if anything, she's been wanting a coral-colored polish for a while~

And after that, we just went to Michelle's house and chilled for a bit. We painted our nails and watched The Sorcerer's Apprentice and did slightly nerdy things:


And now I'm finishing up on painting my nails. The brown nail polish is gorgeous! It's called "Over The Taupe," haha~ The color is slightly different because of bad lighting though.


My fingers look pretty weird here. I'm pretty bad at painting my nails actually, I just slather the nail polish on my nail because I always end up painting outside of my nail no matter how careful I am. I actually cleaned up a bit (aka peeling off the nail polish on my skin) before taking that picture. And I probably mess up about 8 or 9 times before all the nails are perfect. Michelle is pretty good at painting her nails :|
