Rihanna - A Million Miles Away

I went to the Stanford Shopping mall with Thuan and Shelly yesterday. Plenty of good old camera whoring times there =D

I didn't buy much except for a choker. It was expensive. But I like the gothic style. Whoo, I'll use it to dress up as a vampire bride this Halloween. I'm still debating whether I should keep it or not.

Three 6 Mafia - Lolli Lolli

Thursday is my highlight this week. I aced my first biology midterm. Steven, the technician from Dell, came to my house for the third time and replaced my LCD. Spencer is up and running now. No more depending on an external monitor. Whoo!

I'm on disc two of Desperate Housewives season II now. Susan Meyers just got demoted from my favorite character to my least.

I've been torturing Thi everyday, making her look for this ao dai material called To Tam. Anyways, I went out and look for it at the Vietnamese fabric stores today. They don't have any left. I guess the material is dated. Anyways, people rip you off here. I went to a store in Grand Century, and they charge $100, just for the fabric, when Thi found the exact same design in Vietnam for around $15. There weren't a lot of design I find pretty. Solids are nice but apparently they're for old people. My mom and I picked this plum blossom design. It's pretty cute. I don't like the blue rose print on there though, kind of awkward. I was planning on layering it with blue fabric underneath. The total cost for the fabric is $35, almost doubling the price in Vietnam. Oh well, I hope it'll turn out pretty.

Jesse McCartney - Leavin'

Spencer LCD screen is broken. I contacted Dell several times about the vertical scan line issues before. It took them a while to figure it out. They replaced my motherboard and video card today but it still isn't fixed. The technician said it's the faulty LCD screen that caused it. Anyways, I hope that will fix the problem. I'm tired of using my desktop monitor. Speaking of my desktop, it's too hot to function. I basically have only half my laptop and desktop working =/

I drove to Socal this weekend with my mom and sister. It was a spur of the moment road trip. I love spontaneity. Both my sis and I were surprised when my mom agree to it. I guess she must have been super bored at home. Poor mommy!

Anyways, the trip was fun. We left San Jose on Friday afternoon so we didn't have time to go to any place spectacular. My hotel was steps away from Knott's Berry Farm too. Oh well, there's always next time.

Saturday, I went to the typical Asian Garden Mall. Thuan bought herself a panda there. It was cute. I made connection with it right away even though I don't like stuffed animals. Afterward I drove to the Bookoff in Costa Mesa and picked up 2 artbooks and 5 manga, 2 of which were duplicates. Afterward, we went to Huntington Beach. It was definitely nicer than the beach in Norcal. The sand actually has sand, unlike the junk I usually see in Monterey Bay. We got there pretty late but managed to take a lot of photos.

On Sunday morning, we packed up early and checked out. I drove to the Bookoff in Gardena, my usual stop when I'm in LA. There weren't any rare find which was disappointing. After that, I drove around for almost an hour looking for Pinkberry for Thuan but I couldn't find it. By noon, I got mad and drive home, without using any AC!!!
