Now, before you all go and wish me a Happy birthday, guess what…your late! My birthday was last thursday, the 17th. More on that later…
You know, when I decided to close my xanga, i didn’t know how much damage that would do to me in terms of traffic. It when from alot to none! So, I bet your asking, so why are you blogging again? Good question, I’ll get back to you on that.
Back to the birthday. Now, after reading Saki and Ain’s blogs, birthday are supposed to be great special fun! Tho, I kinda feel sorry for Ain, early morning in boxers is a bit too much. For Sean birthday, we did Number 5 resturday, something never done before in our little circle. It seems my birthday has always been somewhat of a low budget film. Let’s review the last four years!
2002 – Imad, the gang and I went to Indian Taj for dinner. Followed by, we went to Fei’s building and they had bought some cake! Now, I know what your saying, Dinner and cake, what better could you ask for? That’s true, and I loved that day til this day, it was great. I was with friends and everything was great! But, now you asking, how was this a low budget film like day? Considering I paid for most of the night, it felt unbalanced. (I know what your thinking and no, I’m not THAT kind of person!)
2003 – Freshman year of college. I guess my parents and my dad’s boss, at the time, kinda screwed me over. David, Ryo, Janice, Janahlee, and so many more, the list goes on and on, held a party in Jason’s room. We had pizza. The low point of the night was knowing I had a psych test the next day. They got me a astronomy book. At first, I was like…a book? But when I read it, it was great. However, I found out, tho I wasn’t suppose to find out, that they had bought a telescope for me. A TELESCOPE! Can anyone say, wow? It seemed, they called my parents and they were like, it’s ok, we got him one too. Is it selfish of me to want that telescope? Yes, it is! So, this bday went from Highly priced, blockbuster to “Sideways.” Low budget, but great.
2004 – Zach was gone, Don was gone. Dan, Sean and I went to applebees. Fin.
2005 – And finally, the present! This year, it was mixed in a sense. It was filled with work, such as filming Zach show at Seneca. However, that was fun too, Zach and I spoke magic talk, it was like a door opening. Okay, maybe not…but it was something! Smallville was awesome as always. I think the greatest bday present was the Superman Returns teaser! =) I Link!
On Nov 13th, NBC aired a 2 hour special, showcasing Penn and Teller. Now, if you don’t know who they are, I don’t blame you. I didn’t know them until Zach introduced me to them a year or so ago. Penn and Teller are a duo, who perform magic. So, what so speical about them? EVERYTHING! They way they perform together or how the use a certain method for an effect. The show on NBC was great. They did magic, but it was underwater! Now, if you actually saw the methods they used, it wasn’t so great. But, magic isn’t about the result of what happens, it’s the effect of how it happens. But, enough about that, your wondering why I a Squirrel is in the title. Let’s just say, Foamy and I had a little party in my kitchen…
A friend of mine had posted on her blog the following:

hey you know what, i believe i have single handedly proven the Impulsive force formula wrong. okay lah maybe not that grand, but i swear to you that the (mv-mu)/t formula does not work when you are utilizing the toilet. wait waitttttt, hear me out first. you know how in physics there’s always this question of how to reduce damage upon collision, and the 2-mark answer is always “increase time before collision so that momentum upon impact is decreased”? yeah well, i PROVED IT WRONG.
here’s how i did it. i was in this cafe, okay? and i needed to poop very badly. arrived at the washroom to find that the toilet seats are in very deplorable condition … but i still needed to use the toilet. so i didnt sit on the toilet seat because ew that’s just gross, instead what i did was position myself in this half-standing position above the bowl, and i pooped with my butt slightly elevated above the bowl.
(hehehe smart leh, pay me royalty if you wanna use my Shitting Stance)
soooooo i pooped la.
BUT THEN RIGHT, when my poop hit the water surface …….. water from the bowl terpelanting-ed onto my butt!!!!!!!!!
DAMN FUCKING GROSS.
i was like ….. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. i felt like no amount of tissue would make me feel clean again. it was damn sial traumatizing. so i swore that the next time i use the toilet, i will position my butt EVEN FURTHER up from the toilet bowl. cos you know lah, impulsive force formula says that you have to increase time before collision to decrease force upon impact. it’s like the whole skydiver-who-bends-legs-before-landing thingy!
so anyway, 2 hours later, it was time for Toilet Experience Part 2.
so i did it — positioned my ass even further from the bowl as it was the previous time. but WAHLAUWEH. instead of less water splashing up, even MORE water terpelanting up from the bowl!!!!!!!!!
ONTO MY BUTT AGAIN!!!!!!
so what’s all this shit business about how increasing time before collision will reduce impulsive force?! mana ada!!! both of my extremely disgusting toilet experiences are testimony to that. >:( physics has lied to me.

Now, she corrected herself and admited she was wrong, you have to increase time OF collision instead of increase time BEFORE collision. However, i couldn’t pass up the chance to prove physics using poop!
Now, this thursday, Nov 17th is the taping for my Magic documentary. Zach will be doing some stuff, he posted his act on his blog, see right for link. I guess that’s it for now. woo!
Coffee, Cards, and a Goatee.
And with THIS my final project begins!
Those Two Stripes
A fellow Rice Bowl Journals member posted a series of events that occurs over the last week or so. Now, normally, I wouldn’t put much light on a “this is what I did” type of entry. However, in this case, it much different. I do suggest you read his entry, as it’s much better than anything I can say on that topic. With that, I would like to congratulate him on two wonderful events of life, marriage and parenthood.
One thing that did stand out was his comment about how he felt after finding out the big news. “We just sat on my bed hugging while we stared at them. Laughing. Excited. Amazed. Scared. Kissing. Happy. It was a mix of everything that added up to something so overwhelming. We hugged and kissed and laughed some more for what seemed like forever.” It’s calm, relaxed, and somewhat panic free. Two things come to mind. One, how long will he last in this state and two, how will I react when this happens to me!
I guess this just brings things under the mircoscope. He’s turning 28 and he’s getting married and having a child. I’m 20, and I’m trying to just pass my classes. I guess the greatest test for both of us is still yet to come, raising a child.
