Stupid me

Dear all,

I can't use my computer anymore because its spoiled. I'm so sad and I only have myself to blame, for my stupidity.

Last night I accidently spilled some water on the keyboard and it hang for awhile and auto shut off. Then I tried to turn it on and all I see is a black screen with no sound at all. I'm so upset right now. :(

Should I get a comp here? or only when Im back home. I really feel like slapping myself, how could I...so dumb.

Dont know what to say anymore, I'm using Mick's computer now he's getting pissed off I guess I better get outta his room. Bye.

Merry Christmas

It was my first time celebrate REAL Christmas in the United States! It has been my dreams since I was small! Christmas tree, winter cold, snow, presents, turkey, the gathering... But, not with my family, as we're not Christians...

The Christmas celebration at Sam's dad's was more like a Chinese New Year celebration back home, probably because most of us are Chinese. Anyway, I had a great time. :)

This is the first Christmas present I received for this Christmas, from my best American friend, Cathy. I really didn't expect a Coach for Christmas. Haha.



It's time to talk about food. :) I have no idea what this call, but it taste good. Baked by Joe's wife and she's Malaysian, and I found out that she used to stay in Sentul! What a small world!
Here are some famous Grandma old fashioned pies, you have to queue for long time to get it. Just like crazy selling donuts in Malaysia.


Christmas Chocolate Cake baked by Cathy, my most favorite desert of the day!
Table of food, all kinds of Chinese + American + Malaysian food: sticky rice, steak, Turkey, Siew Yok (Pork), Spicy vege etc.
Cookie, marsh mallow and chocolate
Egg tarts! Made by Sam's dad. Yum yum...Very Hong Kong style.
The living hall Dining Hall
That's Joe in Orange-T, we celebrated his Birthday as well.
Yay, makan makan...
Thats Paul (If I'm not mistaken), and John (the Mat Salleh) is one of the owners of Flower Drum Song, and of course Gan & Sook Mun. Mat Salleh teaching Chinese how to play mahjong, interesting.

My favorite Cathy! She must be exhausted helping out all day and I know she wasn't feeling too well. I tried my best to offer help.
:)

Christmas tree surrounded with presents, that's what I meant a REAL CHRISTMAS!
I did prepare some Christmas present for Sam & family, Gan & Sook Mun, Abigail and all my Brazilian buddies! I'm glad they love it. :) So long as everybody happy! I'm happy!
Well, for some reasons I can't tell my Christmas story in a more organized way as I can't arrange the pictures. My laptop has gone and luckily I save some pictures as draft for this Christmas blog earlier. Anyway, I hope you guys had a great time during Christmas like I did. :)

Happy Winter Festiival

Its another year I missed one of my favorite festival. I love tang yuan festival yet I always don't get to celebrate with my family and eat the tang yuan.

Been very busy lately because its Christmas week. Heading to Target soon, work at 7am. Didn't really get enough rest. I think to myself, should I work like that?

I really miss home...But I'm staying strong. Now that I have more close friends in the States, I'm happy that they like me because I like them too. :) Probably there's the reason can keep me staying here. I wanna have fun, not just work. I do enjoy working...But I just get so tired.

I don't know what am I typing already. Better prepare myself to go work now. Guys, have a great day. Miss you and HAPPY WINTER or TANG YUAN FESTIVAL!

Busy day

It was a busy day today doing all the calling and bookings for my NYC trip. I got my hostel booking done and one of the tour in NYC done too. What's left of the rest are the booking for transportation and another shopping tour to Woodbury (highly recommended by my Aunt Irene). Just so you know, I'm going to NYC all by myself. It's my very first time to travel so far, and alone. I don't know what to say but I guess I'm better off this way.

Well, I thought I have plenty of time for the day because my work at the water park starts at 4pm. And...I was wrong! I was still rushing myself eating and ran to work at 3.45pm. The snow is getting thicker day by day... Luckily I have my boots on, but still its hard to walk on the snow. Btw, Cathy got me a really good deal for the boots and she even gave me a $10 coupon for buying it. :)

Working at the Water park for 5 hours was like 5 years to me. Time passes really slow for work today I don't know why. Nick asked me to stand at the orange slide (the spot where water splash directly) and rotation supposed to be done but I have stood there for like 2 hours, nobody's coming to take over and my body was all wet. Moving to the next spot didn't help much because I'm already wet and it was freaking cold when the wind blew on me. What a job.

Then, I met a new workmate and we were rotated at the same spot. He's new to me though he has been working at the water park for 9 years, I have seen him around some times but never really spoke to him before. So, this time we get to know each other as there are no guest coming to our spot. He has a strong Mexican accent and sometimes it's really hard to catch what he said. He's a fire fighter and a nice person, he taught me a lot of things about lifeguarding and he even offered me and my Brazilian friends back to Martha's. The funny thing is, I forgot to check or ask for his name after a long chat with him while he kept mentioning my name when he talked to me. Feel so ashamed now.

Nick told me to go for the lifeguard training tomorrow. Tomorrow I will be working from 8.30am till 1.15pm. Training would be from 4pm till 10pm, unpaid. Should I go? or not?
