Capricious Me » 2004 » October

google interview is done. it wasn’t nearly as horrid as i thought it would be. i think i did better on the algorithms part than the coding part. O.o;; granted, it was simple stuff, but i thought i’d forgotten most of it. so takis can rest easy… i did learn something from his class. the first coding question was so simple and it took me a while, but that’s because i hadn’t done java or normal languages for like… a year. and i did the 2nd one much faster and i think better than the first, which i hope the interviewer noticed. phew. it’s done!

and now that i’m feeling better, i’ve changed the password on yesterday’s post so that people can read it.

today sucked. that is all.

but… it’s not like i’m the first person ever to go through this, and it’s not like i have it particularly bad… so in the overall scheme of things, none of it really matters. humans, or rather, me, being the selfish creatures that we are… tend to over-dramatize our own problems and prioritize them more than they really deserve.

so here’s a new layout. let’s see how long i can stand it.

anyway, good night all.

was on the phone last night, being told about someone being socially retarded, and that one of the things they did was to carry a doll around. so i glance over at anita, and see that she’s got not one, but TWO stuffed animals on her. and i laughed SOOOOO much.

and in other news, ASU’s blind date dance is coming up on Nov. 12th!! You KNOW you want to go…

ok.. second to last of the Ken Oak songs to which I have lyrics. Silhouette. (Don’t you love how french words make spelling logical and the word look pretty?)

(more…)

the bitch who just went down the hall making unnatural noises needs to shut up. why are the first years so fucking loud. why can’t they go off campus to some frat and leave the hall in peace… auuugh

**update**
so they were loud until ~4:30am. what boogers. there was one girl who got locked out of her room and LOUDLY fucking shouted “open the door!” if i had been trying to sleep… and got woken up by THAT… i hope in my delirium and rage I would have screamed, “shut the fuck up!!!” or maybe i would have fumed and bitched about it like i am right now. i need to be more confrontational.

anyway, more lyrics. “Not yet” by Chris Vu. (i dunno… the more i listen, the more i notice how very generic this song is. of course, he is a great singer and the song’s really catchy… ^^;; anyway, i really like the whole castle and fairy tale thing mentioned in the song. hehehe)

(more…)

meep. i think i’m sick!

the highlight of my day so far… was setting up the demo G5 imac in Knapp… such prettiness!

and more lyrical goodness. :-) les miserables… aah Javert & Valjean’s songs are sooo awesome.

(more…)

so … i was walking back to my dorm and these three little boys… very little. not even middle school aged, are running down the path screaming. two of them holding on to the leash for one little chihuahua. They stop near me and I pet the dog, whose name is Daisy, and the little boy who owns the dog says proudly, “that’s My dog! She’s full grown already!” and this other boy’s saying something in spanish, and then he goes, “do you know what I said?” and i reply, “no, what did you say?” and he goes, “I said ‘We’re like teenagers because we walk by ourselves almost every day.’” And that… ladies and gentlemen, just made my day. It was THE cutest thing I’ve heard in a long time…

anyway. The lyrics to Ken Oak’s Maybe. (I discovered how awesome this song was this weekend. Also good? Wonder, and Chris Vu’s Not Yet.) Man… I can’t believe I didn’t even bother listening to these songs and I had it for so long!

(more…)

def. one of my favorite songs EVER… and the video’s rather creative too… lyrics & translation from: jay-chou.net

开不了口 | Kai Bu Liao Ko | Can?t Open Mouth (Jay Chou)

才离开没多久就开始 担心今天的你过得好不好
cai li kai mei duo jiu jiu kai shi dan xin jin tian de ni guo de hao bu
hao
I’ve only left for a short while and already started to worry about how you’re doing today

整个画面是你 想你想的睡不着
zheng ge hua mian shi ni xiang ni xiang de shui bu zhao
My mind’s filled with you, as I think about you I can’t fall asleep

嘴嘟嘟那可爱的模样 还有在你身上香香的味道
zui du du na ke ai de mo yang hai you zai ni shen shang xiang xiang de wei
dao
Your cute expression when you pout, and also the fragrance on your body

我的快乐是你 想你想的都会笑
wo de kuai le shi ni xiang ni xiang de dou hui xiao
My happiness is you, as I think about you I always smile

没有你在我有多难熬
mei you ni zai wo you duo nan ao
When you’re not here, it’s so hard for me to bear

(没有你在我有多难熬多烦恼)
(mei you ni zai wo you duo nan ao duo fan nao)
(When you’re not here, it’s so hard for me to bear, so troubled)

没有你烦我有多烦恼
mei you ni fan wo you duo fan nao
When I don’t have you to think about, I am so troubled

(没有你烦我有多烦恼多难熬)
(mei you ni fan wo you duo fan nao duo nan ao)
(When I don’t have you to think about, I am so troubled, so hard for me to bear)

穿过云层 我试著努力向你奔跑
chuan guo yun ceng wo shi zhe nu li xiang ni ben pao
Breaking through the clouds, I tried hard to run to you

爱才送到 你却已在别人怀抱
ai cai song dao ni que yi zai bie ren huai bao
Just when love arrived, you were already in someone else’s arms

就是开不了口让她知道
jiu shi kai bu liao kou rang ta zhi dao
I just can’t open my mouth to let her know

我一定会呵护著你也逗你笑
wo yi ding hui he hu zhe ni ye dou ni xiao
I will surely protect you and make you laugh

你对我有多重要 我后悔没让你知道
ni dui wo you duo zhong yao wo hou hui mei rang ni zhi dao
You are so important to me, I regret not letting you know

安静的听你撒娇 看你睡著一直到老
an jing de ting ni sa jiao kan ni shui zhao yi zhi dao lao
Quietly listening to you whine, watching you sleep till we grow old

就是开不了口让她知道
jiu shi kai bu liao kou rang ta zhi dao
I just can’t open my mouth to let her know

就是那么简单几句我办不到
jiu shi na me jian dan ji ju wo ban bu dao
Those mere simple sentences, I can’t say them

整颗心悬在半空我只能够远远看着
zheng ke xin xuan zai ban kong wo zhi neng gou yuan yuan kan zhao
My whole heart hangs in the air, I can only watch from afar

这些我都做得到但那个人已经不是我
zhe xie wo dou zuo de dao dan na ge ren yi jing bu shi wo
I can do all these things but that person is already not me

and this is how i love to spend my alone time… listening to music… (totally addicted to Maroon 5 right now. and Qi Li Xiang. why are all the best songs so sad?) writing in my diary, thinking, thinking…. reading, and trying (sometimes very unsuccessfully) to study. and i like this so much more than going out. sigh. i am getting older and jaded.
