Man, the Houston Rockets just can't win without T-mac. Yeah, they beat the Clippers last night, but the Clippers is a screwed-up team. The  first game with the lakers, last tuesday or something, Yao had two chances to put the game away at the end of regulation and one more at the end of the first OT, and he didn't put it away. You're playing against Kobe and you let three decisive opportunities get away, you think he is going to let you loose on the next one? And I just can't believe what Jeff Vangundy did. He called intentional falls on Kwame Brown when the Rockets were in penalty, to utilize his free throw percentage. I just can't believe it. Come on, be professional, give the fans a contested game, be a man. What was in his mind?! Come on, jeff!

I think the Rockets need to trade Mac, he's a bomb in the team, yeah, he's good when he's good, but when he's bad, he brings down the entire team, because when he is not on the floor, his big salary doesn't allow the Rockets to have another decent player on the roster, I just don't know how Dawson ever got this set of players together, none of them are energetic. Hopefully the Rockets can find some cure soon enough, you can't expect Yao to play as explosive as this for a whole season, he's going to be worn out. And accept it, he is not that dominant a player. He's destructive, not dominant. He makes a lot of shots, but not the shots he has to make. If he don't improve on that, I don't care if he averages thirty points a game, forty points a game, he is not good enough. Maybe he just isn't.

I don't know what  i am going to do for the break, specifically when I am going to NY. I need to stay here for Christmas because I am sure I can find something to do on Christmas Eve. Besides, I sure don't want to miss possibly the last Christmas I can celebrate with all these great friends that have been around me for two years. I don't know what I am going to do without them. I guess I am just that kind of guy that gets too tied up with the people around me, not that they have to be the same with me. But I can see that Christmas is going to be fun. And for this winter, I am going to learn some more French and English, my plans for the winter.

 

Life just gets incredibly boring when there are no classes to wake up for and you know you can't lack off because there are finals waiting. I think I am going to have some bad sleep these days because my roommate is going to go late nights writing his papers. And he plays Super Mario three hours a day. Incredibly bad hand-eye cordination, just like me. Guess I am going to pull some late nights too.

Sometimes I am just thankful that I have a really harmonious family. I kind of feel bad sometimes because my parents took care of me too much when I was little. But when I look at some of my friends, I really feel that I should have known him earlier, that he really needs someone to be with him. Parents treat their children in different ways, but some of them really aren't "standard". Praying for him, May the Lord give him strength.

Two of the Chinese freshmans just had their 19th birthday celebrated, (kind of forced, because it's incredibly hard to hold everybody together, and they don't really have birthdays on the same day) But anyway, we enjoyed a great dinner in Super Chinese Buffet, not that I am so fond of the food there, then played mafia, one of the games that's just being abused by the current population of youngsters. It's just amazing when the 16 of us(2 fewer of the total Chinese undergrad population here in Clark, or at least that I know of) sat down together and chatted. Kind of feel good for being a Chinese.

After almost a semester of having my back against the wall, I am finally breathing a sigh of relieve after today's Econ 257 presentation, knowing that my semester is almost over. Ha, feel like playing some Winning eleven for a rest.

Feels so GOOOOOOOOOD!
