Bird
I met a bird.
A small small small small bird.
It wanted to fly but it couldnt fly high enough.
And the tears flowed....
Flowed like a river.....
I looked out my window and I saw a red figure
And then it was blue, and then it was yellow
And the yellow turned green
Green with the grass on the Glade
The chain was gone
The circle moved to the third
And the cold wind blew
On that lonely road to Bowles
Oh that lonely road to Bowles
Was it really that lonely?
For my brothers await
And together we drink till tonight
And we drink till tomorrow
For I met a bird
And it taught me to fly
A small small small small bird.
It wanted to fly but it couldnt fly high enough.
And the tears flowed....
Flowed like a river.....
I looked out my window and I saw a red figure
And then it was blue, and then it was yellow
And the yellow turned green
Green with the grass on the Glade
The chain was gone
The circle moved to the third
And the cold wind blew
On that lonely road to Bowles
Oh that lonely road to Bowles
Was it really that lonely?
For my brothers await
And together we drink till tonight
And we drink till tomorrow
For I met a bird
And it taught me to fly

Cal Drinking Song (Full)
Ohhh we...... had a little party down in Newport
There was Harry, there was Mary, there was Grace
Oh we had a little party down in Newport
And we had to carry Harry from the place
Oh we had to carry Harry to the ferry (to the ferry)
Oh we had to carry Harry to the shore (to the shore)
And the reason that we had to carry Harry to the ferry
Was that Harry couldn't carry anymore!
California! California!
The hills send back the cry
We're out to do or die!
California! California!
We'll win the game and know the reason why!
And when the game is over we will have a keg of booze
And drink to california till we waddle in our shoes
So drink, tralala
Drink, tralala
Drink, drank, drunk last night
Drunk the night before
Gonna get drunk tonight like I never was drunk before
Cos when I'm drunk, I'm happy as can be
Cos I am a member of the Souse family
And the Souse family is the best family
That ever came over from old Germany
There's the highland Dutch and the lowland Dutch
The Rotterdam Dutch and the Irish!
Sing glorious, victorious
One keg of beer for the four of us
Sing glory be to God that there are no more of us
Cos one of us could drink it all alone, damn near!
Here's to the Irish, dead drunk!
The lucky stiffs.....
They had four fifths....
A keg or two....
Of homemade brew....
And there was grandma
Sitting on the outhouse door
Without her nightie......
And there was grandpa
Wishing he could get some more
But he was eighty....
Don't you know you gotta GO BEARS!!!

The Team of '03
Alright now u got me started. This is the team, right here! #3 in Nationals, Best Paper, 2nd Presentation, 5th Races, Tony P Chrest Innovation Award. Summer of '03. Now that's what I'm talking about! Go, Big Blue, Show 'em what you can do!
Drunk Girl
This is the crazy girl drunk on race day back in '03. Sorry I forgot you were in the car screaming when I almost got us crashed while watching the high speed car chase.... Alright, I'm sorry, there're no car chases in Singapore and it was my first time!
Rocky
Burgers remind me of Philly Cheese Steak at Pat/Geno's (the origninal). This is where Rocky stood while eating a Philly Cheese Steak. Was it Pat's or Geno's?
Burgers
Had Carl's Junior today. The burger was SO HUGE but..... it was COLD! Nothing is a bigger turnoff than a cold burger man.... The beef chilli cheese fries were good (and hot) though. Now this is starting to remind me of In-N-Out.
In-N-Out burgers are so good! The fries are so salty and the shakes are so thick! Name your favorite In-N-Out outlet. It's gotta be the last one on the 80 as you head east towards Lake Tahoe. Nothing beats an In-N-Out burger just before you head up the Sierra Nevada (or when you're coming back from a disappointing canoe showing at Reno...)! It makes that long drive worth it!
So is it faster to drive through or to get "to go" at the counter? I've never really figured out the answer to that question. I guess the line at the drive through seems longer.... Oh 2nd best In-N-Out is the Hilltop one in Pinole. Right next to Krispy Kreme hell yeah! Double-Double no onions, fries and chocolate shake then head over to the 'ol Krispy Kreme for a free sample or 2! I remember that one time, my last day with a car, where I had this chocolate doughnut filled with custard and almost squirted it all over myself in front of Mary, JM and gang. Was Rory there? Well how was I know there's only one way to eat a doughnut with filling? No, now I remember, Rory wasn't there, neither was JM. It was me Mary and Aviva. That was the very last time I saw Aviva. And I almost crashed the car on my last day in it, because there was a high speed chase on the freeway and I was watching the chase rather than the road hahaha!
OMG, I miss you guys, can you come over and get me some good 'ol In-N-Out to go? Canoeicks rock!

Quote
"If the inputs and outputs are wrong, you'll never get it right no matter how you change the process." That's the most brilliant thing I've heard all day. All week for that matter. The classical "rubbish in, rubbish out" that you hear from those doing structural mechanics. I guess the structural engineers are more crude.... Should I just post a "quote for the day" everyday? That might just keep my blog updated.

Grr Rah!

Big C
On our rugged Eastern Foothill, stands our symbol clear and bold! Big C means to fight and strive and win for Blue and Gold! Golden Bear is ever watching, day by day he prowls; And when he hears the threat of a lowly STANFURD brat, from his lair he fiercely growls! Hey what u say? He says: "Grrr rah! Grr rah! Grr rrr rrr rah!"
Language
Some people say I don't update my blog enough. The last entry was quite some time ago I guess. I was thinking about it. Some people actually blog every day, and their daily blog is pretty long! How does one find so many things to talk about? And the energy to put them all down in words too..... Maybe I just don't have enough to talk about. But then again a lot of people say I always have a lot to talk about. hmmm.....
Well I suppose there are a few group of frequent bloggers out there. One group would just treat it as their personal diary, talking 'bout every single feeling they have every single day (much like what this is becoming...). Another group assumes a fictitious persona such as Darth Vader or something, or maybe just prose; the aspiring authors I suppose. How 'bout those who like to comment? Just commenting about everything under the sun especially politics. Now, it might come across to some indivduals that these "comments" appear to be more like "complaints". So that leads to the conclusion that locals "complain" too much. Firstly, what happened to the first amendment (oops wrong country!)? Why bother if people like to comment/complain? Secondly, if "comments" in local blogs really do end up to be lots of "complaints", maybe it really means some things need to be changed/improved, not that we are a society of "complainers".
Nuff said. Now lets talk about language. I'm a sticker for good language, be it spoken or written, though much has to be said of my own mastery of my second language. Did u guys watch that dating show on Channel 8 at 8.30pm? Well, basically its on Channel 8, so its a Chinese show. Most of the participants could barely finish a sentence in Chinese without breaking out into English. That just shows the state of Chinese language education..... What's even more amazing is that I know some Higher Chinese former classmates who pretty much gave up Chinese after Secondary school and now can hardly read or write. So much for Higher Chinese, the creme de la creme......
Speaking of language, my favorite magazine is "The Economist". Ah, that nice British magazine or shall I say periodical? On page 36 (Lexington) of the Asian edition this week, there is a typo. "There is no clear conservative partly" should be read as "There is no clear conservative party". This is not the first typo that I've found in "The Economist", and yes, I do read (almost) all the articles. When I used to read Newsweek (younger days) and Time (even younger days), I never found that many typos. Come on you guys, mind your language!
