I was out of luck yesterday. At 6pm, I supposed to pick up my coat at one of the dry cleaning store at 21st and Amidon. I  got there around 6:03, guess what? They already closed the door. Damn! Only 3 mins late, and I was in a hurry. The funny thing was I got lost when I get home from that dry cleaning store. Can you believe that? That dry cleaning store located closed to Thai Binh, and I even got lost from there to my home? Don’t know what I was thinking, maybe the weather was too hot and drove me out of my mind or sth else. It was just not one of my day.

The more ridiculous thing was at night around 10:30pm. I found out that one of my citi card bill was overdue. It was due on 6/5 and I still haven’t paid for it. So I went online right away to set up my bank acct, usually it is activated in one day, but this time they told me it won’t activated till 6 days later. Oh, my god, it is already late, I couldn’t wait anymore. I decided to call them. I went through the automotive phone payment system, which was quite easy. At the last step, it asked whether I want to store my banking info in the phone, I pressed “2” to not store. And suddenly the process stopped, I got transferred to CS. I didn’t know what was wrong with it. Fortunately, it was late at night and not many pp called in. Soon someone came on to help me. I again repeated what happened and what I needed. He helped me and also told me that there will be $14 charge for the phone payment service fee. What? $14, that is too much. I remembered last time paid on the phone for my Discover card, there was no charge for it. Geeze, well, finally I got my bill paid, but also got charge another $14 and finance charge for paying late. I am complete broke.

I always remember to pay my cc bills on time, don’t know why this time I would miss it. I was so mad of myself for paying sth that I am not supposed to spend on. I am trying to save some money, but it is so hard.

World Cup had beginned, a lot of my friends were disappeared from MSN IM and went join their World Cup fans. I don’t know much about soccer, and I don’t feel like people in USA are as crazy as people in Europe and Asia. At least, people in my company had not talk about World Cup very often since it started last week. But some of the co-workers got transferred from India were so into it. China doesn’t have a strong team in Soccer, which didn’t give them a chance to join World Cup. Well, but it was surprise to see that Australia beat Jap yesterday with 3:1.  I am thinking about watch it sometimes, but the games all started early in the morning while I am at work. Maybe will watch during weekend. I wish there is a live game show on the air plane, that will be more excited.

Talking about sleep. I got another funny story to tell. Monday I woke up at 12:43pm and emailed one of my friend. The reason I wrote was because I read an article the day before from a Chinese newspaper, talking about an outstanding Chinese student die in Canada due to stress and didn’t have time to eat. Since my friend lives by himself and also in school, I thought of remind him to remember cook and eat at least three times per day. I thought he will write back and thank me saying he was so touched. Well, he did write back. He said “maybe you shouldn’t sleep too much and always wake up at noon. Once I read an article saying that someone die due to oversleep.” ……………………What?

3 more weeks before I take my first long vacation since I work. So excited and can’t wait. I hope it is tomorrow or next week. Haha………….when vacation comes I can sleep as late as I want in a new environment, then wake up go for a walk to breath the fresh air, or read a book, or shopping, or sighseeing. As long as not require to sit in the same place for 8 hours a day.

Work is a little bored these days. Sleepy again!!!!!!!!!!!

Another day to work, surprise to see the guy sat next to me is BACK. He has gone for two weeks and I thought he got fired. Actually he was sick. Sick for two weeks? Uh……must be sth serious. The girl sat behind me also back from her one week vacation. It seems like she had so much fun as she was trying to tell us all the drunk people she met in Mexico.

I also had fun during these 4 days off. Spent three days at home relax and clean my room, my closet. Talking with Kiki on one night till very late. She was very shock to find out I go to bed around 10:30pm every night and she thought that my life was like those elderly. (someone told me this before as well) According to what she said, nobody like my age in USA would go to bed this early. Well, don’t know what to do at night so go to bed early.

On Sunday, I went shopping with my friends and bought gifts for my aunts, uncles-in-laws and aunts-in-laws. Those are all very small gifts, I hope they will like it. My mom said there is no need but since I already bought it then it is fine to keep it. I tried to choose sth not so heavy, coz I know they will blame on me if they see me carry sth big bottles or heavy things. It has been the second time my aunt called and asked me not to bring too many stuff. On last night I was thinking if I should wrap the gifts or not. …………..After shopping, we went to Kim’s house to watch DVD. You can’t believe that I finished whole bowl of popcorn. I never like the popcorn in the theater or my workplace, when I smell the butter from the popcorn of my workplace, I just wanna throw up. But I like the one Kim bought, as far as I remember I didn’t smell any butter in her house when she warmed up. Henry even said to me that “you finish all the popcorns?” oops, didn’t mean to. Feel bad that I ate all his snack, haha…………..but I know he won’t mad on me, coz he is a very nice and generous kid.

108773394235889.jpgI received an email from one of my childhood friend this morning. She plan to get marry the end of this year. Aw………so happy for her. I know she and her bf has been together for a few years. He comes from a poor family but personality is very nice. I heard her parent likes him very much. My friend is younger than me 1 yr old and we grow up in the same neighborhood. There are 5 of us girls went to pre-school and elementary together. We used to be very good friends and people in our neighborhood always called us “5 golden flowers” which is the name of one famous Chinese movie. Whenever I back to China, they will spend time out to see me no matter how busy they are. And so did I. We had so much fun together when we were little, and those were unforgettable memories. I am the only girl live the furthest from them, even thought we can’t see each other often, but thanks to internet. Our communication has become easier now.

Office is out of cups again! The guy sat next to me hasn’t show up for work.

Kelly just asked me to try out brides-maid dress. Yeah………..so excited and can’t wait. She is getting married this August and I will be her brides-maid. And it is also the first time in my life to be someone’s brides-maid. Kelly has been my good friend since high school, so it is my pleasure to be a part of her wedding. She knows I always wanna be a brides-maid, so she promised when she get married, I will be her brides-maid, even thought she already has a beautiful sister whom would be. I think me and our friends will all take a lot of pictures for memory.

Everybody is getting married on these two years. I wonder when I get marry, if any of my friends still single and will be available to be my brides-maid?

So far I have heard some compliments from my friends about the journals. Thanks, thanks all for spending your valuable time to visit my blog. I will keep post the journals whenever I am free. I seldom write, finally I got to write sth and all my friends were shock. Haha…………I hope my writing will improve as I write more.

I went to watch “Over the Hedge” with my friends on Sat night. It is a very funny movie, talks about friendship, another Disney movie I like after “Finding Nemo”(I thought it would be “Chicken Little”, but “Chicken Little” wasn’t as good as I expect). Would love to watch again when DVD comes out. I also went online book the tickets for my trips within Australia during the weekend. I booked them from virginblue.com. It says $105/person from Hobart to Sydney, quite cheap, isn’t it? But when I paid, I was surprise to find out that they charge a small fee for any credit card users. Around AUD$4 if chose to pay by credit card, which is quite unusual in US. In USA, pay by credit card has become a habit, so we seldom get any service fee for using it. But the overall ticket price is still cheaper comparing with US domestic flights.

My parent keep bothering me all the time just to find out if I had preparing all the stuff for my AUS trip. Isn’t it too early to prepare? In fact, I haven’t prepared anything. not even June yet. Still a long time before I leave. Not sure what to buy for my grandparents. When I asked uncle what he needs last time. His answer was ‘nothing needed, as you know everything in USA and Australia is “Made in China”’. Haha…….. Thinking about American ginseng, which is sth unique in USA and a good choice of gift for elderly. But the biggest American ginseng seller in US doesn’t ship to AUS, they even tell me that AUS will not allow us to bring ginseng into its country. How weird it is! So………now I don’t know what to get for them.

Anyone has any ideas?

Oh, the guy sits next to me still hasn’t show up. It has been 5 days since he was gone. One of my co-worker just came over to ask if the pix I had on my MSN IM is my bf? Uh? He is pointing to Leehom? Haha…………I Wish!

I hope all my friends will come check out my blog often, which will motivate me to work on it. Coz I know not only me, someone out there is also reading it. Hey you, please leave me some words or tell me what you think if you are reading it. At least I know you had stop by to show me your support, xixi………..

So far I had heard three people told me that “Wow, your journals are so LONG” haha……….oops, sorry, write too much? It only took me 5-10 mins to finish one. I just keep typing with my thoughts. You don’t have to finish read all in once, maybe one or two each time when you stop by or pick the title that interest on you? But please leave some comments so I know you had read and would like to share with me.

Ok, stop here today. Looks good? coz it is short, haha…………..

Need some snack, but out of changes. 5555555555………….

Don’t feel like doing anything, not even day dreaming. Kim is out and Kiki is not online today. Justin is having a training class. I bet he fell asleep in there. Haha…God helps, I am so sleepy……………………The guy sat next to me hasn’t came to work for 3 days, I wonder what happen to him. Sick, taking vacation, or got fired? He is a nice guy, always smile to me and helps me to solve problems as quickly as possible during the busy tax season. I feel bad that if he got fired and I didn’t have a chance to say bye to him.

Finals finally end for students. Some of my friends had called me out already, but in our small town there aren’t many places to go for fun. Went to watch “Miss Impossible III “ two weeks ago, not as good as I expect. More interested on “Over the Hedge”. I remember once talked to a friend about our town, he used to study in our university. I told him our town is bored. And he corrected me saying “it is not bored, it is dead!” haha……………yeap, for someone had grow up in a big city, our town is definitely “dead” for them. When I first came here from LA, I just wanna cry, it is like the countryside in my hometown. As years go by, I still feel that way, but I also like it for sometimes it brings me “peaceful”.

I feel like I eat a lot lately. Always hungry  Normally, I eat three times a day, then sometimes a snack in the afternoon (when it is so bore and sleepy, I start to eat and make myself awake). If finish dinner early, there will be fruits or desserts at night 2 hours after dinner. So I almost eat 5 times a day. Kiki said I eat too much, that is why I always feel hungry. When I was in school, I hate to eat, sometimes skipped lunch. If I went to M, I can never finish a meal. Now, I have to eat, otherwise I will faint. I have no more problem finish all the food in a M order. Oh, my God, so terrible. I think I need to go exercise more often now since I eat double comparing with before. Sth make me feel better is that, I just weighted last Friday, 111 lb, stay the same. All my last summer’s clothes still fit me, which is good. Xixi……………

Gosh, it is so cold in the company.
