sweetly broken

i have that song stuck in my head. I LIKES THAT SONG. i'ma learn it on guitar & piano sometime. HEHE.

anyway this weekend was super fun! i love how my weekends just consist of going to church for all these activities. &i lovee seeing the church kids just always at church with meetings or serving in some way or hanging out with each other :) i like it when church is our second home.

so fridayy, i went to the singles/ couples w/o kids fellowship that my parents are shepherding. &their topic this week was on guy girl relationships/dating/marriage. it was really good! i likes my parents a lot :)

saturday we had bible studyyy &then we had a time of prayer before they broke their fast. &then we ate! & shared fun stories of our weeks/prom stories/nice things the opposite sex did for us. &then we went to downtown disney to watch fireworks. i lost in rock paper scissors so i was the second driver. i had no idea where i was going T_T we got there fine though, since i just followed the other car all the way. but on the way back, we left earlier than the other car & i missed the freeway entrance but good thing someone in my car knew where we were &was able to help us get back onto the freeway from another way.
anyway. THE FIREWORKS WERE SO PRETTTYYY :)! here are some pictures:

going to downtown disney &seeing the little kids being carried in their parents' arms was soo nostalgic for me. i seriously wish i were still 8 & my parents could still take me to disneyland &i could still just fall asleep in the back of the car on the way back with no worries in the world. :) sigh. i miss being a kid. BUT ANYWAY. i think we are going to disneyland. HEHE. one last family disneyland trip before josh & i go up to berkeley. HEHEHEHE. i is excited ^__^

sundayy, we had sunday school &the incoming college freshmen came to join our sunday school for a little bit. there are like 12 or 13 of them. SO CUTE :) two (including my brother) are going to berkeleyyyy HEHE. &then during lunch, my friend eunice & i were eating in the room we were to have our retreat meeting in. &there were these two young girls in the room. one is goign to be in 7th grade &the other is going to be in 6th. they thought i was a senior in hs ^__^ i feel so old now.... &then we had our retreat meeting. &we role played 'sgl &sg member' i got to be sg member & i was a bad sg member. i am planning to rule the world.

&that was my weekend ^__^
next weekend, i will finally get to see my friend's puppy since she FINALLY got it yesterday. yAAAAAAAAY.

nevermind what haters say, ignore them til they fade away

HEHEHE. i like being in the cubicle. i can't eat lunch today with coworkers cause still no appetite :( sigh. i will have to fool myself into eating again.

tuesday is reviewing intern project presentation with the Human Capital Team in Minnesota.
wednesday morning is my intern project presentation (though i don't have to present ! =] but i have to get here at 7 am T_T)

ohman. i hope i get enough rest this weekend & next week.
ONLY TWO MORE WEEKS OF INTERNSHIP LEFT! wowwww. :)

i <3 being an actuary.

so when my coworkers eat out, &there is a ginormous bill. they usually just have one person pay & send out a bill with all the calculations done out as to who pays how much. maybe it's just because im an Excel nerd, but i found the model SO COOL & FUN. haha. lookie:

dude look at that. complete with color coding, drop down menus, &vlookups. 8] we should do this next year. haha. looks so fancy schmancy. actuaries are fancy schmancy.

so here's a random fact. my mom usually packs my water for me. &lately i think it's been getting hotter & hotter T_T today's water is too hot to drink. i have to let it sit for awhile before i can drink it. :(

yesterday's dinner with church friends was fuuuun. we talked about marriage &about past memories in church &how the leaders that led us when we were in jr high were all married &had cute babies. lol. it is weird to realize that we will all get married some day. esp with church people i think. because i've grown up with them. &we still remember things like girl rivalries in church, which really js consisted of who could get to the front row of sunday school first. which group of girls were picked to do the transparency for worship (ohmygosh we used to use transparencies for worship lyrics, not ppt, so old school). minor hs crushes. cooties &tag. &now like 8 years later, we're so different yet not. &imagining them getting married is like like imagining a brother or sister getting married. weiiirdd. but yet so exciting :) hehehe.

okay back to work.....................

val misses her homies...

Mike was online today.
Christine was not. What a weird change of events.

On Friday we learned that one of the Senior Engineers who work here passed away. Yeah… it was sad. He was in the hospital for a routine check up on Tuesday but doctors found an infection, so he spent the night there and then on Friday we learned that one of his organ failed and with a chain of events he passed away. He was maybe like 50 at most, probably late 40s. It's kinda eerie cause theres been a lot of death-related incidents lately. However, I think this is one of the few that actually impacted me or one that I've been in touch with (I was working on a project with him last week.) My grandpa passed when I was like 5 so I barely remember that.

Something that's cool: his church has been helping the family out a lot. Yeah--the church. I only just recently found out he was involved at a church. One thing that’s weird though is that the church set up two funds for people to donate to: a church scholarship fund (cause the church is also a school apparently..) and a church building fund (finances that will go towards new chuch buildings..) I think it's kinda weird cause it feels a little exploitive? But whatever it's what the family wants I'm assuming and it lets non-christians get involved to help the church grow. It's cool that you can help impact the church even when you passed away.

One of the things that suck is…one of the direct consequences of this is that everyone's work has been bumped up quite a bit and therefore expect less blogging from me.. maybe. Haha. Though a lot of this work I've been given, I don't really know how to do. O_o" Is it fair to assume its not that important since they give it to the intern to do it? =] There's not really anyone to teach me either since everyone is also very busy…and oh my mentor/supervisor is out for vacation this week… haha what timing..

mmMm yeah I'm feeling some jamba right now.. buy one get one free anyone? =]
where my homies at?
