JOY
the warriors/cavs game was whatevs, lebron had one weak dunk but there still was a momentous occasion at the game. during one of the breaks tshirts were being fired out in a slingshot. john really wanted one and got up and started waving and yelling. when they shot one towards our side i noticed that the balled up tshirt was coming towards us. i realized that i really had a shot at getting it cuz it was so close. i was getting ready to jump and grab it but it went slightly to my right. 3 seats over i saw john bend down and then he triumphantly raised up his arm w/ the shirt in hand. i was happy for him cuz i knew that he really wanted it. he passed around the prize for us to see and i pretended to throw it back but he gave me a death look that said "thats not even funny, i would kill you if you did that." i passed it back to him and he proceeded to unwrap it. he opened up the balled up shirt and the first thing all of us see in big white letters is "ROSS". underneath it in smaller letters it read "dress for less". we all started to bust up including the guys behind us cuz they saw it clearly too. john had a very disappointed look on his face and i felt bad for him but i couldnt help laughing at how hilarious the situation was.

JOY
proud of what my dad has accomplished:

- saving lotsa money by staying at kwan and brians relatives places and getting fed by them.
- talking w/ kwans cousin and watching his nephew slide down the stairs.
- fierce thai cook living up to the hype.
