| hello xanga!
i can only access this every once in a very long while because xanga is blocked in my beloved shanghai.
so right now i'm in hong kong
in my sister's boyfriend david's apartment
christine is out buying food so i'm here with david... and we are watching the LION KING haha...
last night they took me out and got me tipsy or drunk. i actually don't think i have been drunk before. because i'm always very careful. but this time it was with my big sister and htey bought me some russisan drink and told me we couldn't leave til i'd finished it...
and hten i just got super woozy and couldn't stop talking and made the mistake of facebooking... WAH
anyhow
i am going to princeton in the fall
am i scared? yes
but more excited
God is not gonna change
and so His plans will not fail
i don't think ANYONE is going to read this
which is why i am just saying whatever comes to mind
summer is going by too fast,
goodbyes goodbyes goodbyes
cycling one after another through my heart. so fast i can barely even grasp their happening.
aw simba. i love hte lion king<3
everything is changing and i am leaving a mark here, xanga, hello, my dear friend from the days of middle school, through shi san and shanghai and everything,
i don't want to forget
but wherever i am, i will be all there.
live to the hilt.
you know the rest.

| it's storming here in taipei and my parents are having guests over, no one wants to go out and i'm sick anyways so that it feels like my chest is being compressed and i sound like a frog when i talk... perfect for staying in doing nothing all day (almost nothing.. a few hours ago my mom coerced me and victoria into going grocery shopping with her and it turned out our real purpose was to carry gallons of water home from the supermarket -__- oh well HEALTHY LIFESTYLE FTW), reading a few books and whatnot. whatnot meaning updating my sadly neglected xanga of course. :]
mm so i have been here since thursday. almost a week. we've done some shopping, seen relatives and family friends, and of course, most importantly, LOTS OF EATING. essential to the su family vacation experience. not even vacation. the su family lifestyle. since we've been here i've probably gotten fatter. haha -__- i've also gotten a bloody nose. gotten some new shoes. gotten a cold. gotten my ears pierced. (at this point the word "gotten" is looking strangely bizarre. it brings to mind the image of goats. or the german language. or german goats. haha what am i saying -__-) speaking of "pierced" i've also GOTTEN (it looks less overused when i capitalize it) pierced by hordes of vicious mosquitoes. haha okay maybe not hordes but i've accumulated quite the collection of mosquito bites on my right leg. yes my right leg. my left leg on the other hand (HAHA.. leg.. on the other hand.. haha.. and this paragraph has a lot of parenthetical remarks..) is completely bite-free. okay this paragraph is 好无聊 -__- i'm sorry! this is what happens when i don't write on xanga for a while. i lose my touch :[
so on saturday we attended the wedding of andrea's godmother's son. NO she's not my godmother i don't understand why that should confuse people... when andrea was born she became her godmother. and she's not ours... but anyways i was the only suitable candidate to be bridesmaid even though i didn't even know the bride or the groom. -__- but it turned out to be fun except the dress, which was all floor length and pretty and whatever but SO TIGHT I COULDN'T BREATHE well i could breathe but not deep lung-filling rejuvenating breaths you know. the kind of breaths i like to take. haha anyways i could imagine how girls in the older days felt with their supertight corsets that make them look nice but simultaneously run the risk of inducing fainting spells. i was happy to change out of it.
for those of you who haven't seen my family (minus my dad and christine) in a while. here we are happily in our own attire.
and here i am struggling to breathe despite the constraints of dundundun KILLER DRESS
it was interesting too re-meeting all these ex-hk ling liang tang church boys we used to play with when i was in hong kong... ten years ago.. in first grade. xD except now everyone is all grown up and going to college and such. our parents had lots of fun reuniting at dinner and then after church the next day... where they kicked us out to go to 101 by ourselves so that we couldn't eat with them -__- haha it was fun though. i like meeting new people (or re-meeting people i used to know ten years ago granted i haven't done that much in my lifetime of only 16 years). albeit the awkward silences that popped up now and then. haha if any of them ever read this... uhm it will only become even more awkward... oh well i have a knack for awkward moments, MY FAVORITE haha -__- but it led me to think about the last ten years and wonder what would've happened if we'd never left taiwan and hong kong. never gone to san diego, san jose, shanghai. no CBC, FRCC, tierra bonita, miller, SOAR, 市三 or SAS (so many significant places in my life are acronyms! haha)... you probably wouldn't be reading my xanga right now. heh all the people and places i know and love would be so different. i might not even speak the same language (maybe i would have to go to like english 补习班 o__0). maybe i would be taller (different food? climate? haha) :D would i know or care about God at all? but yeah. i don't think it's all that significant. i'm sure i've missed out on something by going a different path and leaving 10 years ago. i'm sure there's potential friendships and ten years' worth of experiences i would've cherished (wow i did a typo and it struck me that CHERISE's name is really close to the word cherish! aww everyone we should cherish cherise hehe) but at the same time i LOVE the last ten years and i wouldn't have gone through them any other way. at times i've hated it but in the end, He knew better. "what could've been" is just something that i won't ever really know and, aside from giving it a little contemplation when i randomly meet people i used to know way back when, i don't really care much about. after all it could have been but it didn't. so. MEH xP
wheee i'm typing to the soothing background music of pouring drenching rushing rain and then at certain intervals, booms of thunder and the answering call of car alarms. and now it's mingled with the crunch of my dad and victoria eating those shrimp chip things. okay. not so soothing.
hey FRY-ers whoa that looks like FRIARS! haha.. hahaha... ok anyways how was the retreat? and IHOP? for the ppl who went. namely edith and lydia. and i don't know who else.
i'm still disappointed that we're not going back to california. =\ at the airport when we were coming to taipei there was another flight to san francisco at the gate next to ours that was timed to depart 1 hour after our flight. i calculated it and it would've arrived just in time for the beginning of the FRCC retreat. awh. next year...
but i am still glad after all that i got to spend time in shanghai =] I MISS SHANGHAI PEOPLE! but we'll be back soon haha and just now i was uploading pictures and wah i really miss my orphanage kids! AHHH <3 i definitely plan to go back and visit them when we get back to shanghai and before school starts
this is 小丸子 :] hehe she really likes to take walks. like long walks. like in endless circles around the room haha.
 
ahhhh niu niu she's like 1 1/2 years old and she likes to touch everything and i used to call her pineapple head. but then she got a haircut haha.
and 巧巧 my favorite! SHE'S SOOOO SMART and at first she wouldn't even look at me without crying so the first time she smiled at me i was like AHHH OMG i was really happy haha. and then she let me 抱抱 and i was like YAY. and then the next day i was like HI and she totally ignored me and started crying again. but then even though she kept forgetting me when she changed her mind and decided to come and laugh and everything again i was always so happy. hee and it showed me a little bit of how silly it is when i screw up to try to "punish myself" and kinda stay far away from God... cuz no matter how easily i forget him or turn away he would always much rather that i run back to him ASAP instead of hiding in the corner and refusing to look at him. :]
hmm so yeah i've been typing for a while now and tomorrow we're going to 金门 this taiwan island place to visit some of my mom's relatives that we've never met. so i leave you with this entry while i'm gone to make up for the emails and facebook messages i won't be able to reply heh. well maybe i will be able to. i don't know hehe. and by "you", i specifically mean kenny, alan, cherise, annaa, debs, victoria, chanellee, and chris. you guys who actually might still read this! <3 hehe so i know at least i'm not writing to.. nobody... xP
anyways. i leave you with a random picture i took while messing around with my camera but that i later thought to add a meaningful explanation to.
this is how i want to be. power on, fully charged, and CONNECTED to God.
preferably with the status of Signal Strength: Excellent.
ooh and a nice firewall to guard my heart. or my hard drive. ooh HEART drive. hahaha cuz it's the wellspring of life. or energy!
ok i won't go any farther overboard with the analogy haha xD
