This will be my last post for a while. I truly hate what my blog looks like right now, so I can barely stand to be its primary, contributing author. In my next re-design of simonlife, I hope to come up with something more personalized and simple.
Lately, I’ve been splitting my time among tennis, bboying, [...]
Every year as an undergraduate I remembered to recognize Mother’s Day by at least affording the necessary phone call. It would only make sense then that the year I would forget would be my year as a masters student, a time when one would expect me to be in my highest degree of maturity and [...]
After about a one month hiatus, I’m finally back. I’ll admit to having spent a lot of time on this new design, but it may not even show. There were a lot of other technical issues I had to work out, and like always, I adopted a pretty haphazard and disorganized routine for [...]
The weather in Boston is not so awesome right now. It is overcast and slightly humid. I’m pretty sure that when this terrible overcast-ness and lack of sunlight are gone, muggy and sultry conditions will inevitably take their place. I have no air conditioning in my apartment this year, but I am [...]
I graduated from college this past Sunday. I am now the (proud) owner of an Artium Baccalaureus in Computer Science, compliments of Cornell University.
Half a year ago, I knew I’d be back for another year as a graduate student and was therefore convinced that the affair this year would be pretty insignificant. I [...]
Finals week is upon us, and this year (unlike the previous year), you will not be hearing much from me. This happens to be the most stressful and arduous finals week ever for me, and the blog will have to take a back seat for the time being while I ruminate God, the Turing [...]
Last night was, I think, a great night to go partying at Cornell. Of course, me saying that is just an overly generalized way of saying that I personally had a lot of fun, but the people I was with (and laughed at) and the people I ran into throughout the night affirmed an [...]
This weekend was all about cultural exposure and immersion at Cornell. Aside from two culture shows put on by the Japanese and Taiwanese student associations, students flocked to Bartels Hall on Saturday evening for Cornell’s annual World’s Fair. Since our breakdance crew has had such impeccable attendance at other cultural events in the [...]
My profile on Facebook is pretty bare. I intentionally leave out a lot of details about myself so that people will find me irresistibly mysterious and intriguing. Just kidding. In truth, I thought that having a website would eliminate the need for a comprehensive, all-disclosing Facebook profile; it just didn’t seem to [...]
Sometimes, fate or God or whatever you believe in decides to treat you to the thrill of a lifetime by offering you a taste of greatness when it truly counts the most. For a passing moment, you get to be the star of the show and understand what it feels like to be recognized [...]
It is now the year 2007. The year in which some three thousand other Cornellians and I are expected to graduate. The year some of us have been eagerly anticipating; and others, dreading. If anything, I think I belong to the former contingent, but not because I have grown tired of Cornell. [...]
Only I don’t get to use any of that cool, explosive, powdery hoopla. I also can’t roundhouse kick. At all. Like, I tried, but I pulled a groin muscle.
No doubt about it: when your skin is raw and sensitive and generally painful every minute of the day, everything good in life turns sour and everything bad just sucks a bazillion times more.
I have decided that there is one, single, paramount reason why I must make sure that my ass is out of the house and off to work promptly on time at 8:30 in the morning. Any later than that, and the sun…
The super genius that is Candice has informed me that the horror film Ju-on, which I once worshipped as a great emblem of lifehappiness (one word), is actually regurgitated horse defecation. In a ridiculously large walnut shell, I’m quite disappointed.
