I'M NOT EMO (99% of the time.)

Just so you know I feel better from yesterday. Gracais.

(birday post later?)

Yknow what, guys...

Crying really does help.

Homeworklessness = Postfulness

I looked at my planner today.

"Okay, letsee what I can write for a Kanga post..."

I usually write anything down that I find interesting enough to post on my Kanga, but the pages were pretty much blank. All I got was "paper!" on Tuesday, and I dunno if a retelling of me reminding myself to get lined paper for my binders is worth any of your time, but it's too late cuz you already finished the sentence SUCKA.

Let's just talk about last week!

Last
Friday
I got asked to Sadies. Hohohohosnap, right? It was one of them "clue every period, guess who!" kindsa things, but I had a good guess as to who it was. So yay for me getting asked! At least I could experience getting asked to this kinda thing once in my life, and es nice. WHERE WERE YOU GIRL-ASKERS THOSE OTHER FIVE YEARS, HM?!

Last
Saturday
was GAHR ALL-COMERS TRACK MEET! I'll do something officially this time...
Place: Gahr
Date: February 14th
Ran: 60 meters

Why, you ask if you read that bold text there, did I just run the 60 meters? Well I'll (probably) never get another chance to run it in my life (since no more all-comers), so why not do it at that meet?! Good thinking, Kevin! Besides, I was sick and I didn't wanna run against Usain Boltettes* in any of the other sprints.

60meter time: 7.35

And that's about all I ran. The rest of the meet I just spectated, cheered, Chipotle-intermissioned, and took pictures. SPEAKING OF PICTURES, look at that one to the right! IT'S A PICTURE OF SOMEONE'S SPIKES! Yeah I didn't take too many good pictures this day.

Now "all-comers" means anyone can come at any time to compete. It also means that anyone can LEAVE at any time, and this was clearly evident when the meet ended with about 5% of the runners still there. There was one 4x400 relay team that Javi and I watched.

This meet got me quite excited about track! Quitecited. WEARING SPIKES IS FUN.

Two days ago
Oh hey I did have something to write about this week! Friday was contemporary media's 2ND FILM FESTIVAL! I was nervous again when our film played again, but not as much as last time. DUDE our (CraigDianaJoshJonathanStephanieSarah) film got 4th place, TWO VOTES away from 3rd place! We got jipped more than water! That makes sense, right? A leaky faucet jips water? Whatever.

And since Kanga is all about bursting bubbles, it might's well do one now! Yknow that one movie "Driven" that tied for 1st place? Yeah the film's shots were really nice, but do you know why? Cuz they had a super-mega-powerful-monster camera that is worth like three times the other groups' small tiny cameras! The pretty shots weren't obtained by skill, they just used a fancier camera! Plus they used a program called After Effects to add some kindsa effects and stuff. Man I should totally whip out my Adobe Flash and throw in some stick figure fighting into my next movie...

Haah okay I'm really not that bitter or anything. I'm sorry, "Driven" group, I just wanted to say something.

My group didn't get top three, and at first I was kinda "awww okay...", but later that night I realized how proud I was of my group and our film... and that was really proud! It wasn't an ideal masterpiece by any means, but I know we did a pretty bang up job!

Wait. Does "bang up" have a sexual innuendo back story? Is "bang up" even an actual idiom? Am I really too lazy to Google this? Isn't weird how "Google" has become a verb, along with "Youtube" and "Wiki"? Who knows!

I'll post our actual contemp movie, In Blindsight, later.

And that's my life.


OH yeah remember that "What Is Wow" animation I made for the PTA Reflections thing? WELL IT MADE IT TO STATE LEVEL! YAY!!!

OH yeah and my birthday is coming up! Instead of compiling a wish list, I've compiled something else:

My -opposite of wish list- List
(A list of stuff that I don't want)

1. Socks or underwear
2. A puppy (I like em, I just don't want one)
3. DEAD BABIES
4. The third Flight book (I already have that one)
5. Poison
6. Hunger
7. An old wallet (already own it!)
8. Not a massage (Translation: I WANT A MASSAGE. Like, 100 of em.)
9. A virus on my computer
10. A virus in my body
11. Gum... A) on my shoe, B) in my hair, C) filling any of the holes on my body.
12. Anything girly

PLEASE DO NOT MISTAKE THIS FOR A WISH LIST. IT IS NOT A WISH LIST.

Does anyone remember what I asked for last year on my Kanga? Well I never got it. NEVER. 364 DAYS OF NOT IT.

I actually have a regular wish list, but I'd feel cocky posting it on my Kanga, and I'd rather not feel like poultry on birthday thank you very much. 'EY OH! If you don't wanna get me anything, then that's totally cool but I'd disown you if I were your dad. If you do wanna get me something, you know what I like, you know what I love.

Happy Kevin's Birthday Awareness Sunday.


* = tiny Usain Bolts (also: Boltitos)

Feel week?

Obligation.

That's a cool word.

Yknow what's an even COOLER word?! Orbligortion. Haha. Sounds like alien poo.

Immaturities aside, I felt obligated to update my Kanga. Actually, I felt that way every day of this week, but my scheduling was a bit out of wack, I was sick, and I was busy getting food out of those 4 new holes in my mouth. I can't post when I'm constantly rinsing my mouth!

But today is Sunday, I have free time, I don't feel AS sick, and my mouth is pretty much clean. Time to fulfill my orbligortion.

Last Friday
Whitney vs. Oxford B(boy)ball game!
Since I missed Whitney's homecoming due to a bad case of cheekplosions, I decided to watch Oxford's game at their school! EXCITIN' STUFF, MAN! Summary o' da game: Ox totally made fun our cheer squad, and then we totally owned them by cheering along with their lil act, and they were like "what da eff", and then later on we cheered them on again for being jerky, and then they cheered us on for cheering them on, which made no sense and it kinda awkward cuz we were just cheering for each other, and then later they got pissed so they lined up along the court, and then all our players were awesome and we beat them by almost 30 points again.

That deserves a little bit of "WE TOTALLY", and a tad bit of "OOWWNED!"!

Rivalry can be fun.

Speaking of rivalry!

Last Sunday
Superbowl!
If Kevin is gonna watch any kind of bowl, it OF COURSE has to be the SUPER bowl, right!? Hoho... Yeah I actually watched the whoooole thing! First time ever. Well okay, I did switch between the Super Bowl and the Chowder Bowl (Chowder is arguably more imaginative), but the Super Bowl was SO exciting I couldn't NOT finish the game! I was rooting for the underdogish Cardinals, btw.

Favorite Super Bowl commercial as seen in my profile:


HAHAHAHA DAYDREAM PUNCHING SMALL ANIMALS!! Increasingly hilarious.

Monday
Nothing!

Tuesday
Free food!
Breakfast at 6:30am at Denny's for $0?! Yes, priceless meals. Beat that, Master Card commercials. Apparently this was Denny's response to the recession? Or maybe they just had a surplus of pancakes? Or maybe they like getting people fat? Whatever the reason, FREE FOOD is GOOD FOOD!

Oh barely made it back to school in time.

Wednesday
I used to doubt the intelligence of the people in my class. Not the book smart stuff, they're good at that, they can all totally kick my cheeks in chess, backgammon, Jeans tests, spelling quizzes, SATACTS, and knowing why kids loves Cinnamon Toast Crunch so much. I'm just saying that I used to think that when it came to common sense or whatever, most of us just sorta followed whatever whoever told em. Yeah I know that's sorta a bad assumption.

But then in Econ, I heard all of these "Last Lectures", speeches from students about what wisdom about life they'd like to share. And yknow, it made everyone sound preeetty profound. I thought it was all gonna be like "no regrets!" and "try your best!", surface level wussy Jell-O, but most of the time I was actually quite impressed with their advice. Yay. Again, it's a horrible assumption that SOME Whitneyites aren't too "hot in thought", I'm sorry, but I think my pereception has really changed. Oh God that last part of the sentence sounded like a college esssay. I should stop talking about this.

Thursday
On Thursday I broke my garage. Yes you read that correctly, I BROKE MY GARAGE. My garage door, actually. Ysee I was backing the van out after I drove it in for shelter from the rain, and then the antenna got caught on... something, I'm not sure exactly what happened. Next thing I knew, screw things were popping out all over the place when I tried to close the door. Did noot see it coming.

Those wheel things should not be on the ground.
I spent all afternoon trying to fix it. Got my hands all dirty and received a couple cuts. After more than an hour and a half trying to shield the garage from the pouring rain, it got stuck on the wall so I just had to wait until my dad got home. Turns out some cable broke. Yes he got pissed. Yes he called a repair man. Yes it was expensive.

Honestly, if I had the ability to write "SORRY" in the sky with the clouds, I totally would (because that would be really awesome). But right now it's cool, my parents are quite forgiving when it comes to very accidental accidents.

Friday
Sick!
I am so sick of my sickness. I actually got sick on Wednesday, then it died down on Thursday, then it got worse today, Friday. Coughing, sneezing, sore throat, chills, ingrown nosehair (which, if long enough, would just become regular hair outside my nose). I had all the symtoms! The weird part was my temperatures on the various days (color coded for convenience):

Wed: 100.5
Fri: 97.7
Sat: 99.7
Sun: 98.2

What the heck is that?! Fever? Cold? Make up your mind or just heal! Silly body.

Saturday - Sunday
Raaaiiin!
And finally... rain! It's been raining for the past few days, and I'd have loved it like a panda riding a zebra, but I'm SICK, so it's a lot harder to appreciate cold water falling from the sky.


Alright, so time for reflection. What did you learn from this week, Kevin?

Well, Kevin, I learned that sports are exciting, Mondays are boring, free food is delicious, I shouldn't underestimate people, antenna on large cars are annoying, being sick sucks, and rain is still as awesome as poppy seeds in a poppy seed muffin. I like poppy seed muffins.

Lookin' Jolly

Ycows... I never thought I'd be so self-conscious about my cheeks.

Yeah, wisdom teeth surgery made my cheeks bigger than if I taped two ribbeting bullfrogs to my face. But that shouldn't bother me! I'm Kevin after all! KEVIN LAM! KEVIO LAMIO! I'm rarely aware of what I'm wearing on a day-to-day basis, so why should I worry about my cheeks being bigger than a hot air balloon over a nuclear explosion? (That's large, right?)

Well it did bother me. Throughout the whole day I felt like I was subconciously screaming "LOOK AT MY FATTY FAT FAT CHEEKS, EVERYONE! FAAAAAT CHEEKS".

Although it bothered me more than Harry and Ron, I was luckily not bothered by others. I know everyone from here to Malaysia noticed my cheeks were chubbier than a babboon's butt injected with 12 gallons of helium, but only a few people actually pointed it out. Sometimes I'd just be waiting for someone to say "heyyy... you, cheeks, heyo!", or something meaner like "Hi hi hi. Hehe, I was just saying hi to you and your two new friends there. YO CHEEKS ARE HUGE!". But I only got a FEW "oh... oh your... wisdom teeth HEY... hehe".

This just in! Cheeks is a cute word. HAHA.

If it's any consolation, every time I see myself in the mirror, I start laughing. I just look so silly. It's like I'm holding two tennis balls in my mouth. Hey yknow what! The bottom of my face makes a perfect semi-circle!


I don't know how I can use this fact to my advantage. I was thinking maybe I could now use a bowl as a mask... but I'm not sure why I'd want a bowl as a mask.

So school went okay, especially cuz it was only half a day. BUT THEN! Monday means I had to go to work! AT QUEST!! Oh no!

I oversee a room full of little children! Could you imagine how they would make fun of my "9th planet"-sized cheeks?! I could certainly imagine. When I walk into that classroom of 10+ crazy kids, here's how I imagined what would happen.

Situation A:

(Kevin walks into classroom secretly)

Eddie: Hey Mr. K, I need help with my homework!

K: Okay.

Eddie: (sees cheeks) whooaaa what's wrong with your face?

K: My face? I just got my wisdom teeth pulled out.

Eddie: You look like a chipmunk.

Meet: Mr. K? Lemme see!

K: Meet do your work!..

Meet: Hahahaha, you're like a hamster.

Class: HAHAHAHHAHA MR. K LOOKS SOOOO RIDICULOUS!!

K: I'm ssooOOOooo embaaRRRrrraasseedd!

And that's what I imagined would happen. (I dunno why it's Eddie and Meet who did the talking.) Those kids and their pointing-stuff-out-ness! So either THAT would happen, ORRR, my boss Mr. Johnny would stop me before I even entered the classroom.

Situation B:

Johnny: "Uh... Kevin, if you go in that room with those bigass cheeks of yours, those kids are gonna make fun of you till dawn. Hey, even I had to stop myself from comparing your face to a humpback whale. So yknow what, why don't you just stay and work in the office, I'll give you some pencils to sharpen there."

I probably would've preferred situation B.

"But" again, but none of that happened! I entered the classroom and those lil munchkins didn't say a thing. I don't think a single child even really noticed my extra face blubber. Those kids and their lack-of-observent-ness!

In all in, my day was alright. Less cheeky than I had expected, and that's fine with me.

This just in! I shaved just now. It took me twice as long. HAHA just kidding.

My Wisdom Teeth and Me!

If you didn't hear the news, HERE IT COMES:

I got my wisdom teeth taken out yesterday! HOORAH!

All four of them.

So yeah, yesterday was pretty torturous. I couldn't eat ANYTHING all day, I just sipped some water here and there. Man I was hungrier than someone who's really really hungry. Oh it just so happened that soccer girls were giving each other gifts, so there were DONUTS EVERYWHERE!!! You know I can't resist those delicious rings of fattiness. But yesterday, I had to. There was even one point in English class where Soomin was like "I can't eat this, does anyone want my donuts?". NO ONE TOOK IT! I WOULD'VE, BUT I COULDN'T!! I just had to drink my lil water...

Luckily I avoided food during lunch time to take a free art lesson by an alumni in the art room. HEADS UP, if I'm not there during lunch on Friday, I'll be in the art room.

ANYWAY, at around 2 o'clock I found myself in a chair in the dentist office ready to be surgerized. There were three nurses standing around me waiting for the doctor to come in, and they were chatting about something something paying bills something. There were a couple moments of loooong awkward silences, and I really wanted to bust out laughing, but they'd have thought I was crrAAaaazy if I did.

I fell asleep waiting for the doctor, but 10 minutes later he came in and was all "Hey Kevin, you ready?". "Yeeeh..." I mumbled. One of the nurses sprayed my arm with what felt like Superman ice breath, and then they injected me with a shot. "Now you're just gonna take a nice little nap..." Dr. K said. Yes, his name was Dr. K-something.

"Okay..." I said.

I sat there for 10 seconds just waiting for my body to shut down. Then my head got really... warm... like someone spilled hot chocolate on my brain.

Then I was out.

The next thing I remember I was stumbling around a hall... and then I was in a parking lot, someone was helping me walk... I thought it was Dr. K but it was probably my dad. I remember being in the car trying to say something to my dad as he drove me home, but I kept on ending with a "...nevermindi'lltellyoulater..." because I could barely understand what I was saying.

I remember stumbling through the garage into my house, then somehow I turned my computer on. I don't know how. And yknow how when they do surgery stuff on you, they inject all this novacaine and booze in you to make you a little high? Well what followed was one of my funniest recordings ever with my webcam...

Kevin Without Wisdom
(subtitled, the best I could, for your convenience. REMEMBER I WAS DRUGGED!)

I honestly don't remember recording most of this. I just remember saying "loooopy", but that's about it. There are actually two more videos of me like this (one includes me singing), but maybe I'll upload em later, I'm too lazy to subtitle all of it.

Now after this I took a nap.

Warnin': DON'T READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN YOUR WISOM TEETH TAKEN OUT YET:

(I don't want people to know about the pain. Yet. MUAHAHHAHA)

I woke up and I was in so much pain. It was so bad I could use a big word and describe it as EXCRUCIATING! I wished I had a stress ball so I could squeeze it, or maybe just a tiny chick, that woulda been fine too. I felt like a tiger was chewing my jaw off, which, now that I think about it, is kinda ironic. Then I realized my dad got me my pain killers! So I took one of them and waited a little bit, BUT THEY DIDN'T HELP! Turns out I just took the antibiotics, the pain killers were in another bottle... so then I took some of them REAL pain killers and felt a wee better after a little nap.

Okay keep on reading from here:

And that was basically it. I ate some juk(?) for dinner. Then I slept at like 9 till morning, waking up every couple hours to replace the gauze things in my mouth. I bled a lot. BTW, this is the time when parents are really awesome. When you're physically dying, they're there to help you! YAY POSITIVE THINKING!

Now begins the healing process and YES my cheeks DID get puffy! You know what that means? I can receive TWO kisses on my cheek at the same time! FANTASTIC!! Or maybe just one kiss from a girl with a really big mouth.

STOP! 'bama time!

Hey Obama's president now! The only president who... for a lack of a clever remark, is black. I forgot which teacher said to remember this day cuz it's very historical. So this post is for me to remember.

Uh...

Inauguration!

Fuzzy screen...

Saw it twice!

Obama's in every room!

Ate Garden Salsa Sun Chips... very good...

Actually I'm kinda hungry right now.

I already brushed my teeth though, darnit.

Oh well I should go sleep.

Gnight!
