Last night we were victorious! Scratch a win for us! With an ending score of 3-6 we finally chalk a “W” for our team! You should have seen us, it was like we just won the Stanley cup! We’re definetly not the first place team… or the second… uh, or the third… etc. but, we played our hearts out this time and finally came out on top.

Like every other games, I recieved a lot of hits which resulted in minor 2 minute penaltys for my attacker. (I came home a little banged up) my third penalty against me was when I was on a break away and the goalie did a poke check to me and took the puck away, there was no whistle so I proceded to get the puck I got behind him and went for the goal. I then tripped on the goalie’s stick of which he threw towards me. If you follow hockey, you know that’s illegal. The whistle blows, penalty shot. Just me versus the goalie. I started center ice, whistle blows, and I’m off. Skate, skate, triple deke, shot, MISS WIDE! I felt so bad, I didn’t play that next shift. But, I had to shake it off and play next shift, we still had a game to play. In any case, it turned out all right.

I’ve been on this dry spell, no points the last three weeks. Sadly, I’ve been well rested and didn’t eat before the game. (I get sick if I eat too close to game time.) Yesterday, before the game I was already on the ice for two hours, in a hockey class with my dad and some of my team mates. I thought it would help me some, but rather it gave me a blister on my foot, which bothered me the whole game. One good thing came out of the class, my teammate Tom who also was in that class managed to score a hat trick this last game, WOOHOO Tom! Congrats! For those not schooled in the lingo of hockey a “hat trick” is when you score three goals in one game.

How completely weird, Aaliyah died in a plane crash today. Honestly. I saw it on the NBC news and at Excite. As far as I know it’s not a fake, like the Eminem car crash that supposedly killed the artist. Hmm… Makes me kinda not want to get on a plane…

Ok, ok. I brought my car into the shop just to change the timing belt and it turns out I need more than just changing my timing belt. Apparently I have VERY low compression in my engine, where I need a valve job. GDit all to hell. That’s an extra $1k I have to spend to fix her. I just got my car back from the shop for that damn differential that I paid $800+ to fix AND IT WASN’T EVEN A LSD (Limited Slip Differential). Damn cars. My mom was right I shoulda bought a brand new car. But I still love my Li’L C. Now, I don’t get my car until sometime next week. 🙁

So, I managed to download a bootleg copy of “The Fast and The Furious.” Didn’t take long becuase everyone has it so the bandwith transfer is high. Now, I have to use KaZaA because my other DLer sucks. It’s cool now that I can watch it over and over again, too bad theres no music track 🙁 Oh well, beggers can’t be chosers, eh?

Thursday hockey was a blast! Finally our 0-7 losing streak is over. Although we didn’t win, we still played our best game with a tie 2-2 to make our record 0-7-1. Still crappy, but better than 0-8, right? Quick breakdown goes a little like this, (I can’t give a more thorough explanation since my memory is bad.) We were already down a point in the first period, when I set up one of our “D” and score a goal. 1-1. 3rd period, I have the puck and zig-zag myself to the goal to get the second goal. 2-1. A little over a minute left in the game and the other team scores a goal and we are forced to take a tie. But, we played our hearts out… I think that sounds right…

Woohoo! Found a copy of “Rush Hour” online too. It’s pretty crappy though, straight off a videocamera in a movie theatre. At least this one has the music track.

How do you manage to live until the age 12 without knowing to chew your food before you swallow?! I give no pity to the stupidity of the 12 year old child who choked on the jelly cup. Why am I so cold hearted? ‘Cause they want to pull all of those jelly cup snacks from all the shelves; including my favorite, the lychee jelly cup. I bet at Ranch 99 or Marina, our local “Asian” markets, they won’t give a damn and leave it on the shelves. I hope so. LEARN TO CHEW BEFORE SWALLOWING SOLID FOODS DAMNIT. I can understand maybe a three year old having trouble reading the warning label, but a damn 12 year old? moO made it a point that sometime in the past someone has died while eating an apple. Do you think they take apples off the shelves? No, why? Because they figure that the average person or child is intelligent enough to know how to eat correctly and chew solid foods before swallowing. What’s the moral of the story? CHEW OR DIE! um, ok…

This Friday I managed to mess up my car again. I took apart part of the front end of my engine in order to replace my faulty water pump and ended up messing up the timing by moving the crankshaft and moving the cams and cam sprockets. Monday, we (Shia helped out alot) managed to get the timing and junk all lined up and got it started, but then after we started the car it started to make this God awful squealing which we first diagnosed in our “professional” opinion as belt problems. Later, I asked my dad what he thought. He said it’s probably the bearings. But, what bearings, he could not tell us. Ironically enough it might even be the water pump bearing that needs to be replaced. Interesting how life works…

Finals are over for Summer school! YAY! Now I can just sleep all day! Well, no, I guess I should go find a job now that I can work full time. Well, then again, even during summer school I was looking for a job with no success.

The most odd thing happened to us yesterday. There was a fire at our house. Well, not a huge raging fire, but a small BBQ fire coming from the neighbor’s house. It turned out they had left some still hot charcoal on the ground at the side of our houses. Theres alot of dry leaves and stuff at the side of the house which let the charcoal slow burn. It burned part of our fence! We found it odd that our house smelled like fire for two days. But, when we went out side in the back yard to see if any of the nearby houses were set on fire, we came up with nothing. It wasn’t until a neighbor come to our house to tell us our fence was on fire that we knew the source of the smell. He tried to blame it on the fact that it was hot and the trees and bushes wasn’t watered. Um, no, dumbass. It’s because of the damn charcoal. Who ever left the charcoal out there hot has to be the biggest dumb ass! Luckly, we found the fire in time so nothing more than the fence had burned down.

On a completely different note, Li’l C got to a whopping 111k miles this weekend! I think it’s time for a new engine. After all the repairs I’ve done to her already, much more is needed.

Hrm, as I was parking in front of Pam’s house, Li’l C was making weird noises, but only in reverse. She sounds fine going forward, just not as I back out. I dunno. I guess I bring her in again sometime soon. Damn, I was really lazy today. I was supposed to fix all the little stuff on the car I am able to fix like the fuel filter, change the oil, etc. But, the mail order show didn’t send me the second back order box that was supposed to come, so I wouldn’t be able to do all the things I wanted to do anyway.
