this post is separated into 2 parts. first, i cant believe it...when i first heard the news it did not register in my mind that he was gone. i hadnt talked to him since junior year. i tried to sleep, went to visit neri, ryan, chinchin and arjun, but then when i came back at 2ish i just sat there thinking. he was one of the first people i met in kennedy when i had just moved from singapore. everyone called him "seagull" i didnt know why so during one of the first debate club meetings in 6th grade i asked him why people called him "seagull" and he convinced me that it was because when he got really excited he made sounds like a seagull. through debate club he and i became friends. he hung out in blair's room with us and i remember him always trying to beat his record for how fast he could chug a starbucks frappacino. if i remember correctly it was 7th grade when he did it in under 2 seconds. he was always ready to take on the ever so douchebaggy mr. cellini when that idiot would show up in debate club. he would somehow always be able to fit in a joke aimed at cellini during the debate. one of his many amazing traits, his attitude was infectious. i always thought he would go on to be the next big stand up comedian or actor. his senior year he joined jazz band, he remembered me from middle school and made an effort to talk to me he always wanted to jam and was always cracking jokes and was just a fun person to be around. when dumplings and samosas came to being and he hosted open mic night he always said that "we were his favorite band". always kind always funny always willing to make a fool of himself for the sake of the show. if there was a dull moment in anything and he was around you could be sure that he would be able to cause everyone to burst out laughing in one way or another....
rip "seagull" you will be greatly missed.
i know none of this makes any sense im just blurting out memories and stuff but last night it just all came rushing back into my mind.

in other news. i tried to write a blog post earlier today but was thoroughly distracted by other stuff. honestly i dont know what. mostly twitter. and programming i guess. i really enjoy programming its fun to actually figure out stuff and get stuff to work but i always need company. last quarter me andy and my friend gurdev would have major coding sessions the night programs were due. they were hecka fun and even though they often came down to the wire having ppl there to share the stress made it fun haha. this quarter i pretty much have to code by myself cuz gurdev really doesnt know how to code at all. i am fersure carrying him in this class to the point that i code everything and he just changes up my code and turns it in as his own. i have no problem with that cuz he will be helping me with chem for the next 3 quarters cuz i hate chem and suck at it. and also he helps me with math. so its a good trade off. BUT STILL now i dont have anyone to share my program fun with lol. all engineers are fucking antisocial. i hope to be a new kind of engineer the type that can still HAVE A FUCKING LIFE and be awzm and amazing and be the reason everybody fired up this evenin.
