kou ke de wang zi. [ memorial day wknd ]
I'm tempted to start out the post with something about Big Bang because I am living, breathing, and rolling in everything Big Bang these days... but I will restrain myself for once and talk about Memorial Day weekend. First though!
Baby! She's really cute most of the time but whenever she sees me on the computer she always wants to sit on the chair with me so she can mess with my keyboard and steal my food. And I like my Macbook to myself, esp. free of baby-grease hands. :/
Anyway, Memorial weekend. Saturday I just chilled at home with waipo, but on Sunday I hung out with Lei, finally, who I haven't seen since like... last summer. Us and her boyfriend Tsai were all craving DOMO but for some reason they're closed on Sundays so we ended up going to Lao Wang's Noodle House (Lao Wang Niurou Mien) instead. I wasn't that excited at first because I get most of it at home, but it was soo good. It's run by an old couple and that's it, they have no more employees. The restaurant is about as big as our living room, and the menu is printed old-style Chinese on little wooden boards tacked up on the walls. I had to have Lei translate XD
The outside of the restaurant.
Guotie (kind of like fried dumplings) in the front, and mala dusi (spicy cow... tendon?) in the back. The guo tie were soo good :d.
My dandan mien (egg noodles). The flash washed out most of the color; it had a little peanuty flavor and I added a bunch of la you (hot oil) and it was really good. Soo much food. Lei got za jiang mien (sort of like Chinese bbq style noodles) and Tsai got wonton noodles because I guess Sunday is the day before they stock up again for the week and they were all out of niurou (beef) everything, which is their specialty. So that was kind of sad, but we can always go back. On the left is a guotie in brown rice vinegar and hot oil. Oh my gosh, my mouth is watering just thinking about it xD.
Hongyou chaosou (red-oil cooked with a sort of wonton, except more wrapping than meat). & Bok choy lol. Ahh so good.
Tsai finishing my dandan mien cuz I was so full and couldn't xD. He ate all of his, plus Lei's leftovers, plus my leftovers. What a guy.
Tsai and Lei. I feel so ultra white compared to them lol.
Lei and me. I'm already in food coma state, can you tell?
Afterwards we went to visit one of their friends, Long, at his work which was right across the street. I definitely displayed Asian woman driving skillz and drove up onto the curb ><. And this hispanic guy who was chillin on the sidewalk laughed at me, LOL. At the store Long let us have free candy and drinks and Lei bought like $15 worth of Lotto and scratch tickets, but every single time was epic fail. She won a total of $3. LOL.
After that we drove up to Boulder to Lei and Tsai's house and then picked up a case of beer for pong later, then went to see Wolverine at 10:35 with Long. SUCH A GOOD MOVIE OMG *_*. I wouldn't mind seeing it again because I'm sure I missed half the action cuz I was drooling the whole time over the fight scenes and there was so much to see. It was a really satisfying revenge movie. And Cyclops wasn't a tool in this one. And Gambit was soo attractive and awesome. He's up there with my favorite Xmen along with Mystique.
Then we went back to Lei & Tsai's to play some pong despite the fact that I suck bad.
Lei's doggie, Snowball, in his raincoat Lei got for him at the dollar store LOL. The whole time he had it on he was so incredibly glum and pouty. We were like "Snowball, pose for the picture!" and he just sat there looking sad. Tsai was like "it's cuz he looks stupid and he knows it". The minute we took it off him he started bouncing around again. He's a Pomeranian & Maltese mix O_O. I thought he was a Bishone or however you spell it.
Lei and me camwhoring. We started out on a team vs. Tsai and Long (guys vs girls) but we lost like 3 consecutive times (and I'm not even gonna lie, I take full responsibility for that because I made a total of like 3 cups LOL) so then we switched.
Long & Lei. Awkwarddd.
Tsai and me fobbing it. Awkwarddd. We didn't win any with this team either :( that's how bad I suck. But by now I was heating up; in one game I made more cups than Tsai did! So this time it wasn't wholly my fault XD. Long sucks too, btw. (My body looks so fat in this picture O_O Actually the shirt I was wearing is really loose on me and in all the pictures ended up making me look 3 sizes bigger than I actually am. Not picture-flattering).
The pong table. It got sooo dirty and reeked of beer by the end of the night. Lei called two of her other friends, Charlotte and her korean bf that I never learned the name of, to come over to and while waiting for them Long and I discovered we have the exact same taste in music o_o. He likes Big Bang and knows like, all their lyrics. Plus, he is the first male Fahrenheit fan I have ever met in my life. He knows all of Jiro's poses and the rest of FLH's poses for that matter, and he used to have Aaron's old haircut O_O, and he knows all their lyrics and his ringtone is Dong Mai XD (mine is YueLaiYueAi, so when I heard his I was like OMFG). We were quizzing each other on music for a while and both of us knew the answers to the other's questions of course. Too bad I'm not attracted to him. Ha. Although, when he laughs he has Jiro's face which is, odd.
While waiting for Charlotte and Korean Boyf to get here, we made a McDonald's run cuz all of us had the munchies.
More camwhoring in the car.
Result: 5 cheeseburgers, 5 hot&spicy chicken sandwiches, 10 5-piece nuggets, & 10 small fries. HOLY SHIT. I ate a hot&spicy and a nugget set, and then half a cheeseburger in the morning ><.
And Charlotte and Korean Boyf weren't here yet, so I made Long do Jiro's poses and HE WAS SO GOOD. At first he was like no, I have to be drunk to do it but I am queen of nagging (and Lei isn't bad either) so he finally gave in and did so many. It was so weird to see, he did it exactly like Jiro does, the look back-look forward-POSE-move in slo-mo. It was pretty amazing. So then I made Lei and Tsai get up and do it with me, except all of us EPIC-FAILED. It's not even funny.
Long and Tsai doing gangster pose (not Jiro).
Kouke Wangzi (thirsty prince) pose. LOL. This is attempt #3; the other ones apparently I looked creepy 8D.
Re de wangzi (hot [as in sweating] prince). Attempt #4 for this one. I think by this point I had given up. Long was like "you need to do Jiro's pouty lip thing" so we were trying to push our lips out and... yea.
Jiro's classic pose, with the ya ji rou (pushing on the muscle). Haha Tsai xD. Yea, i gave up. (I have no muscle anyway.)
Me and Lei are trying to do Jiro's cute-kitty pose. Lei kind of succeeded. I did not. Meanwhile, Tsai is still attempting to do Jiro's other classic pose. XDD
After Charlotte and Korean Boyf came by, we played more pong AND THIS TIME LEI AND I WONNNN!!!! We won so many times - twice against Charlotte and Korean Boyf (ugh, I'll just call him KB) who is really good and once against KB and Long! The best parts were when we made the same last cup or the last two remaining cups in a row, or the once Lei was like "get the middle cup! I just shot that one in" and I was like "okay" and shot not expecting to make it but I DID MWAHAH. Heating upppp. Tsai was cheering for us, woot. Then we played flip cup, girls vs. guys, and we TOTALLY CREAMED THEM. Five times. But I've always been awesome at that game. After that the guys went out for a smoke and we joined them.
Guys doing it Chinese/TW squatter style. I have a picture with me doing it too but I don't think I want to put it online in case people I don't want seeing it find it... Lei and I split a Marlboro and I freaking cannot do those. I choked so bad. I can only do Newports. Whatever though, smoking is not my thing. I just like how they smell X3.
It was already about 4 AM so we went back in and chilled and contemplated playing truth or dare and Lei brought out this really grody and totally NC-17 rated truth or dare game she got as a gift from a friend who had bought it from Urban Outfitters (and that store has some weiiird books and games and shit, so you know it was truly adult). Some of the cards read "Go into the kitchen and take out whipped cream or some other tasty thing, and then make bulls eyes on your partner's nipples and then see if you can drip water right into the middle of the target. If you can, lick the whipped cream off" and "Reenact your favorite position with a piece of furniture and make noises" O_O. So uh, definitely not playing that. So we played this Korean game KB taught us with a board and four sticks until like 5. I was really not into it at all and Lei and and Charlotte (girls vs. guys again) kept arguing about strategy and where to put our pieces, so I was just like la la la *zone out* the whole time. Plus I kept having to run to the bathroom because I had drunk so much beer AND WATER. But then it turns out I was like their silent weapon, even though it wasn't like I was good at it since the whole thing was based on chance; either way, I ended up getting everything they wanted and then winning the last game single-handedly for us. Whatevs, man. LoL.
Then Charlotte and KB and Long went home, and Lei, Tsai, and I went to bed. I slept till 4 PM when Snowball woke me up xD and then I drove the 40 minutes back home, and by the time I made it back the parents and QQ were already back from the mountains! And then I went online and discovered Dadong's MOMOLOVE HAIR XC >_____< T_______T.
But I think I'm getting used to it already. It just came as an utter shock to see him with straight bangs @_@. Also I watched TANK's new MV Ruguo Wo Bian Cheng Huiyi (If I Become A Memory) with Jiro and Selina's younger sister and once again Jiro had SUCH EPICFAIL HAIR O_o. But the MV was so depressingly cute :( and the song is awesome. And then I saw Big Bang's new Japanese single of My Heaven's MV and in that one, GD'S HOBO HAIRZ O_O. OMFG, what was with EVERYBODY totally FAILING AT THEIR HAIR UGH. However, TOP looked effing delicious. His hair was total success. But there was sooo not enough of him in the MV, so that was not cool. So that was my weekend.
Tomorrow, I am going to Alex's house to watch the Champions League Final (BARCA VS MANU! MANUUUUUUUUU FTW) at noon plus lunch, then maybe going to see Star Trek with Erin. I better not come home and find any other surprises about any of my boys' hair.
But yes, I am utterly addicted to Big Bang. ESP Top and GD, zomg.
I'm a total GTOP shipper (even though they don't even come close to my love for Donglun, though the fans make crazygood photoshopped images for gtop x3) but I just love them in general.
I looked up a few more of their songs and then got hooked on Everything (!!!) and Always and Crazy Dog and Remember (funny, because when I started out on this fandom I only liked and wanted to listen to their dancy/electronica-y tunes. And all of the ones I just listed are more R&B [ except Crazy Dog, which is just a hilarious song ]). And then Kim got me freaking hooked on their Stand Up concert and I've watched, like, all of it plus some of their Big Show concert and I SO WANT TO SEE THEM IN CONCERT AHHH. If you gave me a choice between FLH and BB I would choose BB in a heartbeat. I still love my FLH boys and they will always be first, but I would only go to their concert to see them and their attractiveness whereas with BB I get that, plus a guaranteed awesome show that is worth my $100+. I have been listening to nothing but Big Bang for the past 4 days. It's driving my sister nuts.
OH, I have to blog about the total TW-series-like dream I had about Jiro when I slept at Lei's house, LOL. It was so cute *_*. I think I'll do that after I shower.

the girl.
I'm Meichen Yu. I'm Summer Yu. I'm Chen. I'm Winter.I'm a 20 year old Chinese (fan)girl from Denver, Colorado, who goes to New York for university. I'm a broadcast journalism major hoping to work in Taiwan as a variety show host after graduation. I love my family of 100+. I've played piano since I was 5 (had it beat into me, more like) and guitar, I charcoal and sketch, and I write fiction. I Photoshop too much. I keep up with fashion, use shopping as cardio, love experimenting with makeup, and go dancing a lot. I am attached to my iPod, love and breathe music, and own too many faded concert tshirts. I dress eclectically; I have polos, suspenders, bright dresses, African print, and Converse lace-up boots in my closet. I'm a walking oxymoron. I can be chill and laid-back and go-with-the-flow and I can also be very passionate and headstrong. I'm girly but emotionally I'm a bit like a man. I'm rather blunt and oblivious and incredibly insensitive. I have a low man-voice and I use it to tell it like it is. I'm a huuuuge EPL (English Premiere League) fan and World Cup fanatic. I can't understand why America is the only country who doesn't see soccer (FOOTBALL) for the beautiful game it is. It's pretty much the only sport I keep up with. Also, I'm a huuuge Asian celebrity fangirl. Fahrenheit, in particular Jiro and Aaron, are my weak spot, though Big Bang ranks as a close second by sheer force of talent. I love Donglun slash. (I also love Reno/Cloud slash.) Often times when I'm walking around listening to my iPod I will daydream a whole music video (with me in them most of the time) in my head as a song plays. Other times I will imagine whole Taiwanese Dramas and cast all the characters. I believe my whole life thus far can be accurately summed up by The Googoo Doll's Dizzy Up the Girl album, hence the blog title. I also hope my future life (with Jiro) will be able to be summed up by Cheer Chen's discography. I eat too much, sleep erratically and usually during the day, party hard, and work my ass off. I have a short attention span and am pretty good at wasting time. Sometimes I get worried that nobody understands my strange self but most of the time I'm not concerned with working too hard at making friends because if it's meant to be, it will stick. I dream big and believe my life will follow as such. If you box your possibilities into a small space, your life will only be mediocre. God gave us dreams and the means to make them come true; use them. I love my good and fearful God. I'm excited to see where life takes me. I'm excited to be alive. :).
I'm terrible at summing myself up in these things.
