2010 Miami, Eastern Caribbean Cruise

noreply@blogger.com (Nelson Wei) — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 23:54:00 +0000

Oops, forgot to blog about my trip, anyway, it was good. We were on the Norwegian Epic, believed to be the second biggest ship and the newest ship in the world, as of today that is. We arrived at 7 or 8am in the morning in Miami, and had about 4 hrs to kill. So we cabbed downtown and started walking towards the port with our luggages. It wasn't a very long walk, much shorter than I expected. We then sailed off to St. Marrten where we experienced the planes landing just off the top of your head as well as getting blasted in the face by the 747 jet engine. Next we moved on to St. Thomas where we enjoyed Magen's Bay for a few hours. We were pretty lucky as the locals said they had no tourists visiting for 7 days because of a storm that we just missed. Next, the Bahamas, where we spent 6 hrs at the Paradise Island, aka Atlantis Resort. We were kind of in a rush but I think we saw enough of it. Then we sailed back to Miami, and we spent an extra day at South Beach. Done. :D Next destination, perhaps Maldives?

Olympic Village

A.k.a Zombie Town... I wasn't expecting it to be so empty, there were barely anyone living in it. Even more surprising, there weren't even that many ppl walking in it. There was a wedding party taking pics, a couple of tourists, and us, that's about it...

Seattle's Crab Pot

noreply@blogger.com (Nelson Wei) — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 23:37:00 +0000

After all these years of knowing Crab Pot restaurant, I have finally got to eat there... It gets pretty messy and ugly though, but eating with fingers felt good for some reason. The crabs were awesome, oysters/clams weren't so great, fish was lacking some taste, but okay, potatoes, sausages and corns were pretty good. My advice is just get the crabs, skip the oysters... :D

My First WTF in 2010...

noreply@blogger.com (Nelson Wei) — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 13:41:00 +0000

This girl I know from high-school wrote me a msg on fb out of nowhere, telling me to stop hacking into hers and her friends fb accounts, and wants her privacy back. This isn't the first time either, last time happened about 1.5 months ago.

She apparently thinks that I work for fb, and even insisted that she has a good memory cuz I have told her so before. The fact is, I have never, and will never work for fb. How about checking my fuckn resume in profile first or ask around, we have tons of common friends from high-school, some are even still my co-workers. Even if I wanted to hack someone, why would I pick someone that I haven't seen/talked to since high-school, that's 16 yrs ago? It just don't make no sense. So I figured she obviously is either on drugs, needs to see a psychiatrist, or just fuckn stupid.

Anyway, I got fed up of her asking for her privacy back when I don't have a fuckn clue what the hell she is talking about, so I ended up telling her to fuck off and stop harassing me instead, hahaha. Oh ya, if you are also experiencing the thing, let me know... It would be interesting to know how many ppl she is trying to brainwash. Okay off to Mexico in 24 hrs...

Olympic Withdrawal

noreply@blogger.com (Nelson Wei) — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:27:00 +0000

Although I didn't get to go to any real Olympic event, I did participated and enjoyed some of the Olympic festivities around town. We didn't finish first as I expected, I never thought we would, but we did get a lot of Gold and finished first in that category. 14 Golds, that's 4 more than 2nd place Germany at 10.

Anyway, after 17 days of dramatic highs, tearful lows, it came to abrupt end on Sunday. I don't think we could've written a better script than winning the Gold medal in Men's Ice Hockey vs USA in Overtime. It was freaking awesome!

Anyway, I have finished the Olympic album too, finally. I am working on a video, stay tuned.

Finish First?

noreply@blogger.com (Nelson Wei) — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 02:19:00 +0000

Chris Rudge, the chief executive of the Canadian Olympic Committee, conceded Monday morning that Canadian athletes will not meet the COC's goal of finishing first in the medal standings at the Winter Olympic Games.

"We are going to be short of our goal. I readily admit that," Mr. Rudge said.

He added that COC officials did not anticipate the strong showing by other countries such the United States, China and South Korea.

The last part about not anticipating strong showing by other countries sounds ignorant and some what arrogant but funny at the same time, what the heck was he smoking when he predicated that we would finish first? Hah...

Just another shoot

noreply@blogger.com (Nelson Wei) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 19:07:00 +0000

It was too windy, the wind blew my lighting umbrella to the ground and bended two shafts, so I threw it away. Luckily the flash did not break, or it'll turn out to be a $400 photoshoot. Phew...
