Most of the people have their plan for New Year Eve either partying or traveling. Well, I was excited to make 'Beef Wellington' for my love for New Year eve thus I went to grocery shopping a day before. Unfortunately, I didn't feel well after I got home and constantly throwing up.
Doctor Scott advised me to stay in bed. But hey it has been more 24hrs and I am still in bed. Can't even move an inch because each time I move it will makes me throw up. My stomach growling but I can't drink nor eat because it will causing me throw up even more. Oh my! It has been hard.
But Dr. Scott keep encourage me to drink more liquid to avoid dehydration. Let's hope the nightmare will go over quickly. This is the worst New Year eve that I have had ever.
Guess what, today is the last work day of the year. Technically, we should kick back and relaxing day but it doesn't seems like it though
I would says year 2010 indeed a good year for me as I managed to accomplished many projects with flying color. But I am hoping or another good year to come.
Well, It's Christmas Eve and we both got some QT together as we were off since 12/23. Sipping wine on the fire place while listening to the music ah that's wonderful. But I can't stay until 12 midnight thus I started gave the gifts to love then we started exchanged gifts. Oh my, he got me 4g IPod touch, flat screen for my home office just to name a few. But I only got him small gifts this time though picked up the laptop bag from Samsonite, a bottle of YSL perfume and also a greeting card. It is just hard to pick something for him because he seems like got anything.
Made chicken breast stuffed with broccoli with cheese. Although it was a little salty but my hubby loving every bite aww...
There is no doubt that most part of the states will be experience white Christmas this year. In fact, just the 1st of winter and some part of state reported facing blizzard. Let's hope New York will not be the state encounter this. This is because there will be an event for New Year Eve to welcoming 2011 at the time square.
Let's see how it goes. It has been cold and wet weather here in California.
We are grateful that the economy is now getting better. People are willing to spend more for the Season Holiday. That's will help on the recovery turn around even quicker.
After dinner we drove around our neighborhood to look at the beautiful holidays decorating displays. There are thousand of the LED lights so pretty and some of them even coordinated with music redom. That's so cool.
It just a great way to wrap up the long work week though
I could not agree more that pressure in directly make people making the wrong choice. There are so many things that we can witness in our daily lives. Some of the things that we practice that we don't even realize.
Look at the shopper in the mall. They dive into the shop and pickup things that they not really need. Although, it wasn't wallet friendly.
At the buffet restaurant. People just stack their food up but how often he/she can finish. Knowing that he/she allow to go as many round as they can!
No doubt, we were trained to respect an elder as we as uniform folks especially for their service. But how often do we think if an official gave us the wrong/incorrect command ! Must we just follow simply because he/she in uniform?
The "Pressure" really will screwed up people if he/she is not strong enough. Though I truly like the book from Dr. Philip Zimbardo who is from Stanford University. He is the author of 'The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil.'
The bright star on the top of the tree, cute ornaments and pretty lighting! Ah that put a smile to everyone face. Christmas trees are appearing in home throughout the country and families to prepare for the holiday seasons. But there is a great debate for people for whether to get real or artificial Christmas trees.
Well, our family will go for the real tree all the way. The fun of picking up the tree in farm and the smell of fresh pine just put a smile to me. Regardless of the allergy more expensive and work.
Understood, it's 'greener' choice to use an artificial tree and it also wallet friendly. But hey we still prefer real tree.
Nothing can go wrong with added bacon and butter on the cooking. Especially someone special make it for you. Well, I am lucky to have my love cooked dinner for me last night.
He made bacon wrapped pork chop, mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. With the finish touch of sipping wine next to the fire place ah that's really cool.
The month of December may sum up with these cool action:- aiming, baking, cooking, decorating, eating, fitting, giving, helping, juggling, lighting, partying, shipping, wrapping and etc.
As soon as the Thanksgiving feast ended and tada The Season Holidays officially kick off. Everyone seems to have their own agenda and To Do list to accomplish. Though I must admit I truly love this time of year. Although there will be more spending but it all good. After all it is the action items of the month of December.
As we were munching the Loacker wafer cookies while relaxing on the couch. Whoops I notice a little sticker outside the pack shows 'You could win every hour'! That's get me an attention to read more. It was a sweepstakes between 10am through 10pm and it may win every hour. The prizes includes iPads, Loacker gift packs and etc.

I am so grateful and thankful that the people that I care and love are now safe and sound. Also, being blessed and loved by the most higher. Though I notice most of the stores are open for business on Thanksgiving day and some of them even open until 6pm. (I can imagine the those store will be open on Thanksgiving for year to come)
Since we are consider small family thus no reason to get the whole turkey. As we don't eat much leftover. Thus we stop by Whole Food to pickup the prep crab cakes and love made meat balls (lamb and pork). We also picked up peking duck and XLB. I know it a weird Thanksgiving feast as it doesn't look like Thanksgiving as it without turkey nor pumpkin. But this east meet west meal made a new twist. Who care as long as we both like it and have quality time together that's matter.
May Lord help the needy and shows the light to those who are still in the dark.
Oh my it's chilling weather again. We are definitely experiencing the fall season. It has been 2nd night in the roll that the weather temperature hit 30 degree at night.
Hope the wild animal and homeless folks are manage to survive the cold weather. As for me I am blessed to be in door.

Once again, the fellow Catholic folk holding The Annual event of the All Souls day AKA Day of The Day. It is one of must do thing in the Roman Catholic world on 2nd of November.
All Souls' day commemorates the faithful departed. The Roman Catholic celebration is associated with the souls of the doctrine that the souls of the faithful who at death have not been cleansed from the temporal punishment due to venial sins and from attachment to mortal sins cannot immediately attain the beatific vision in heaven, and that they may be helped to do so by prayer and by the sacrifice of the Mass. In other words, when they died, they had not yet attained full sanctification and moral perfection, a requirement for entrance into Heaven. This sanctification is carried out posthumously in Purgatory.
We normally hire the commentary keeper to clean up the spot then on the day then we will get the beautiful flowers and candles to the commentary follow by prayer. Though Buddhism does have the similar event in some time April and that's call 'Qingming'.
We can't make it there this time. Thus asked sister Evelyn to get some candles and light for us. RIP Pa!
It was last year today at 11am. I was in Heritage Hall attending the Oath ceremony to be a citizen of America. Still remember that gorgeous morning and I woke up with very good mood. Well after the years of work and it finally pay off and I can now proudly says that 'Hello my fellow American'! It's makes me feel so wonderful that can't describe in words.
Of course, the most important person behind the scene for the success is the one and the only My Lovely Pinky. With his lights guided me through the bumping road and always bring smile on my face. He is my world. Thank you for everything. I love you!
The Grammy Awards winning country music singer Keith Urban visited Google MTV this morning to promote his new album 'Get Closer'. I am so grateful that managed to blocked my calendar and watch his performance. His unique voice and music drifting me into country music since 2007 when I accidentally turn on country radio station. I was hook since then...
After the incident last week and I was called in to meet with another manager. Of course, I was to blame on the reaction nor willing to accept my explanation. Let's see 2 managers versus a non native speaker and who will win!
I am so proud of myself to handle it well and explained my point of view. Though it still hurting on what they said to me.
Bet this management fill up with moron and bully with no sense of humor.
It has been extremely rough for me since the stupid meeting. This is simply because of the dealing with incompetent twit. Five of us were in the conference room for our weekly sync. Then I was critiqued by fellow leader that the spreadsheet that I created quoted 'SUCK'.
In my thinking 'Woah really it's really that bad'! Anyway, the reason I created the spreadsheet in the rush simply because to rescue them as other team got pissed as they didn't get the updates. Well, not sure why my fellow team didn't provide the updates. When this loser leader find any way to protect them. Well, people tense to forgot the help that I contributed to safe their ass being kicked. In return I am the one who assisted and been blamed. This is absolutely absurd.
I am tired and exhausted with this kind of scenario. Let's hope I can find another job quicker. Because I can't deal with these incompetent and insure team anymore.
Just wonder does this leader has the simply sense of humor? Otherwise how could he humiliate his fellow co-worker like this!
Seriously, I do not want to have 'Sister in-law' word related to me in anyways at all. Though I am not the person who hard to deal with. But the patience of my to deal with them is now over the limit.
How could she:-
a. Ruling the house and treated mom like tenant with no respect.
b. A PHD holder and don't even understand the word 'Disturbing'. She just called 4 times in 2hrs with nothing important.
My advise on A - Hope one day she will redeem herself and knock it off the bad behavior and learn how to respect the an old person. Also, keep in mind by continuing with the black magic games will not help.
My advise on B - Perhaps grows up and get a live after all you are in your 50. Understood, there are twin bond between both of you but please understand our privacy. We don't need your daily calls nor need to know what you do nor need to know your neighbor went out for a movie.
Yes! The brighter day is coming. I am so proud of MOM to able and willing to exit that evil house smoothly. A big kudos to her. It's wasn't easy to step out from that house where it belongs to her. Think about that old good time where we are indeed very happy family in that small little house. But think change simply because the trashy lady rules the house. It is unfortunate, her son got NO balls to stand for her. Thank God, she got daughters to stand up for her.
Well, we may now ERASE OFF those bad time and let's our new day begin. Because she is now free and enjoying her time traveling around where she got the warm welcoming invites with and well respect.
For dancing we are aiming for the perfect 10 score. As for today, our calendar mark October 10th 2010! where we have 10: 10:10 ! Whoops I bet people who superficial will just treat today in very special manner especially the time clock hit 10:10hrs. It just happened this day fall on weekend and it make the retailer very happy especially in Vegas.
Though for me it just another weekend that I long for to spend QT together.
p/s: Let me see how people celebrate on 11/11/2011, 12/12/2012!
Most of us feel short with the recent economy collapse. With that mean there are many evil and yet smart people that jobless who are trying to crack their head to create scamps to get easy $ in many way as they could. Guess the subscribe on behalf of other will be one of the the scamps.
I feel awkward as I've been received the US Weekly magazine without the knowledge of subscribe. Thus I go online and check on US Weekly website if I can find more info. Well, it appeared I have an account there with my complete info and it appeared that I order for $250 of those magazine.
Uhg that's doesn't looks good. Thus I called US Weekly Customer Service and I was told the 3rd party subscribe for me where I can't even canceled it. But they did gave me the 3rd party company name which is Priority One Clearing. Spoke to POC customer service and I was told they are just a fulfillment company and they got the order from Family Reader Service. It's drive me to the edge and I reach out the customer service. Unfortunately, they can't answer my question but they just said it was a free magazine for you. Well, I told them stop sending the magazine to me. I will definitely follow up in one week time to ensure that the account cancel off.
It's just too good to be true to get something free like this!
Today is Dad 3rd Memorial Day! Unfortunately, lots of thing in family chain became bad to worst where I am not proud of. Looking back, he is the person who wasn't contributes much for family besides gambling and waiting for payday. But he is the one who reminded us there is a 'HOME' to go back for visiting and gathering.
Ever since he is gone, in fact before his funeral sadly his legacy ended. Mom too weak to be a leader of the home and yet the trashy lady AKA my loser brother wife rules the house. Thank God there is still a strong relation between my sister and me where we will be the voice of mom.
Well, RIP Pa and I am so proud of you to bring me into this world.
Are you one of the people who love to be loud? Well, some people tend to be loud for no reason in anywhere they are whether in office, restaurant or like those gangster wannabe driving down the street with 10 bass speakers. Gees, don't you hate that!
My take on these people are insecure and dissatisfied with their own lives so they decided to make themselves heard in one way or another for everyone else. Though below phrase well related to this topic:-
Squidwards } :- People talk loud when they want to sound smart, right? Plankton }:- CORRECT!
Just wish people got more sense of humor rather then being stupid like this.
Thursday 3pm is just the time that I am NOT looking for. Not sure how many people like the One on One section. No, I don't in particularly because most of time we can't seems to agree with the issues that we discussed. Understood, it's agree and disagree but it's just pain to deal with 2 people with 3 or more ways.
Well, this is just another 'me time' sitting alone here at home. I don't particular enjoy it as it's very boring after a long week at work. All I need is my quality time. But this is the nature of his work to travel for business thus I will need to compromise that. Though I can use this time to do my things such as have my own shoes show, pedicure and etc.
Just dislike dinner alone experience but will eat while watching TV with sipping wine I guess!
Once again we are now in Autumn Season also mean flu season in here. It was a year ago, I was battling swine flu and Thank God I got the quick recovery. It began with cough, running nose and it hit me on 09/25 in the morning with bad headache. I can't even sit up right. Thus I left work early and straight to Doctor. Though something weird was most of the cars that in front of me simply pull to the left or right. No sure the highest up there instructed them to do so. So that I will reach hospital quicker.
My oh mine! After the doctor examine and confirmed that it was swine flu. I got so scare and keep asking love if I will die. He said NO as long as I follow doctor advised to take the meds I will be recover in a few days and I did. Thank God! Love took flu shot so that he is protected. I will never fell that sick before and I will never forget 09/25.
After review the Yelp page and notice there is a recommended restaurant that worth to try. Thus I stop by the restaurant straight after work to avoid parking hassle.
Got there around 5.05pm, and notice there are customers seated for their dinner. The restaurant looks clean and neat. The decor really brought me back to Hong Kong. So, I play conservative and ordered most of the recommended dish such as Peking Duck, Xiao Long Bao(dumplings), string beans and creamy puff for dessert. The owner/Standley is very friendly and explained to me that they only make 20 Peking Ducks for a section in order to control the quality of the food. He also offer drink for me and allowed me to snap pictures inside the restaurant.
As soon as I got home and notice my love is packing for his business trip. But whoops he is in the kitchen now tasting the XLB! There is nothing wrong but the point is the aroma of the yummy food lure him out from packing. We both enjoy the food very much. We will definitely go back and try other menu.
For those who crave for HKG Cuisine and I would highly recommended this restaurant. Check on their website www.mycookingpapa.com Remember CASH only and No Reservation Accepted. Guess this is a typical Chinese business strategy.
Some of the restaurant that serve dim sum all day or especially more variety during weekend in America. However, in Hong Kong there are more meaning of dim sum especially for an old folks. The main purpose for dim sum also means tea testing 'Yam Cha' and that is magic of gathering happens. Most of the Cantonese got this kind of practice.
Dim Sum came with a very small plate serve with three pieces of dim sum made from pork + shrimp, chicken + etc. There are a long list of dim sum dish but there are two main dish. There are Siu Mai and Har Cau. If it makes it right you will taste the tenderness of the filing and QQ too especially you go with soy sauce and chili mix. Though I would suggest you to dine in instead.
I really miss that yummy dim sum that I ate in Hong Kong. There are couples of good dim sums places in California but I wish Sunset District & Koi Palace are closer to us.
It's amazing how the time flies away and yes we are now marked in 7th wedding anniversary. I can't Thank the most higher up there to bless me with this man. Who always stand by me and always there for me.
Will take half day off for our small celebration tonight and I can't wait for that.
Are you a nose picker? Remember the little finger when picking the nose and dive in deeper and deeper! Ah that's feel good. Yes, I must admit that I did that too but not in public nor in front of anyone.
But this is the most common bad habit that people tense to do without realize where ever they are. One thing that I can guarantee that is not a pleasant act for sure.
Guess what as I on my way home from the cleaner. I was behind a car who drove extremely slow in left lane about 25-30 miles per hour. My advised to that driver 'If you can't handle driving and picking nose' then stay out of the road for the sack of safety of people duh!
I know it's 5 O'clock somewhere but I just can't wait the clock hit 4pm here on my local time. It has been a long week for both of us. Almost reach home 7-8pm lately and it about time for us to enjoy the 'QT' together with the cold one.
Our company tenses to have the decor contest to the fellow employees who move to another campus for fun to decor the new spot. Company even contributes money for the decorating which is a plus.
Honestly, I put a lot of effort on this contest and tried to be creative and unique. Unfortunately, I didn't win. Not to be sour grape and I do notice some issues on this game.
Judges didn't come by and judge my spot - until I told them too.
Judges didn't check the registration list - not sure the who is the participants
Judges didn't follow the contest rules - the rules clearly stated the participants and register as individual or a group no more then 4 persons. But the team of 10 person won the contest.
OMG! how could that be. How could the winners coincidentally reports to four different directors in our campus! Come on! that smells 'POLITIC' to me. I am pissed. Again, this is not a fair game but suck up rather.
Who is willing to admit their missed shine moment? Most of the time we will somehow adjust our situation to face the fact. Yes, that is an evil ego behavior dominating our mind especially when we are in the weakest link.
Just watched the Miss Universe 2010 pageant, Venus Raj took her turn at the question and answer portion, and Miss Philippines 2010 answer was a shocker. She was asked if there was anything she had ever done wrong in her life and if so, what had she done to fix it. She replied that in 22 years, she had never done anything majorly wrong, thank to the love of her family. Well, in matter of fact there are some blur issues on her participating as she actually born in Doha, Qatar. How could she represent Philippine simply because her mom is Philippine's? That's call dis-honest.
In fact, many smart people can't even gave an honest and straight answer when question asked. It happened to Politician and news anchors most of the time where we witness and laugh about it. Sometime we also react this way without realize. Guess this is a challenge of ego and it will a price to pay.
Everyone is well aware on the usage of an Internet. It makes us easier in our daily live with just a click and we may find our answer without move an inch. That's smell conveniences. There are many social networks in these days such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter just to name a few. The purpose of this is mainly for people to connect. Guess what it could be your mom want to add you an a friend too whoops!
But again, it's up to an individual choice to publish his/her info online such as blogging about her family and relation and etc. As for me it just simply my reference. That's smell choice. This apply to web album, cloud computing, twitted and its totally the owner choice whether to sync the private info online. Of course, it come in both ways and will have consequences.
So, for those viewer that love to bitch around and I would like to remind you this 'Privacy is dead on Internet' So be it and move on after all an internet + privacy = choice.
Char Koay Teow is one of the signature food in Penang, Malaysia. You can simply find it any food court or coffee shop in Malaysia especially Penang. However, if you happen to travel to Penang Island and you got to try this.
It basically flat rice noodle, shrimp, squid, a few drop of secret soy sauce, ground chili, egg, garlic, Chinese sausage, bean sprouts and handful of chives. Of course, it taste better it cook with lard. Also, a small piece of bananas leaf on the bottom of plate for the aroma when the piping finish product hit the plate. These ingredients looks easy to find but it require technique to make a plate of delicious 'Char Koay Teow'. Seriously, I like my extra chili and lot of it.
Unfortunately, it just hard to the yummy Char Koay Teow anywhere else but Penang. Looking forward to taste the delightful Char Koay Teow when I pay the small visit to Penang next round.
Most of the people being stupid without realize the consequences. Such as driving while chatting on the cell, chatting in the middle of the crosswalk, switch lane without blinker, riding bicycle in the middle of the street for being cool and stupid and many more. Well, with the un-consideration act and it might cause an innocent on street in trouble.
Understood, there is a law especially for pedestrian http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d11/vc21950.htm but how many of us will follow the rule! In fact, we can witness anytime and anywhere when we are on the street of these bad people behavior.
Well, my advise is to use their humor. If he/she has the right doesn't mean he/she need to behave stupidly on the street.
Oh my! It's official that Mary Hart of Entertainment To Night is quitting. Reported she took 50% of pay cut early this year and just released below statement through the ET website.
She says:
"I've had the privilege of spending 29 years doing something I love — how often does that happen? I've had the support of a stupendous group of people starting with Linda Bell Blue, John Nogawski and many others who are so talented on our staff at ET. I only meant to be at ET for three years, suddenly it's almost 30! I've reached a point when I clearly realize it's time for a change. There are many things I want to do in my life and I'd better get on with them.
It will certainly be with mixed sentiments that I say 'goodbye' at the end of the season, but it will definitely be with a sense of celebration … 30 years of Entertainment Tonight, are you kidding me? That's an accomplishment and something I'm very proud of!"
All the best to you Mary and NO one can replace you! Trust me ET will not be the same without you. Even worst they keep hiring annoy and sassy ladies such as Samantha Harris and Lara Spencer uhg. By the way, these ladies are good at yelling though. Guess Lara Spencer will taking your position.
Hope ET management will need to step up to plate to realize that viewer doesn't like their selection and it will cause the low rating.
There is nothing wrong with own the Toyota Corolla Cars. In fact, it has many cool features from great engine performance to blue-tooth to enabled mobile phones and etc. But for some reason the driver of this type of car tenses to have similar mindset such as drive slow on the left lane and have the 100+ feet gap in between.
Seriously, if these drivers feel like cruising around and have their joy ride then I would suggest them to drive during when traffic die rather than causing traffic jam.
What is love? This seems like an easy question and yet so complex and difficult question of the mankind. Why is that? There is no doubt love can occur between two or more individual. It bonds them connects them in a unified link of trust, intimacy and interdependence. It enhances the relationship and comforts the soul. Just like old phrase 'Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime'.
But keep in mind there also a down side of it. It can walk through fire without blinking or even causing pick a fight somebody twice your size.
Somehow each individual got their an unique place for 'love' in their heart which the the inner beauty of human!

It's crucial for all women to have the mammography exam. This screening tool is to detect early breast cancer in women who experiencing no symptoms to detect and diagnose breast disease in women experiencing symptoms such as a lump, pain or nipple discharge.
I did mine this afternoon. There is no doubt it wasn't comfortable during the processed. As the pressure apply on my breast as it was squeezed by the compression paddle. I did scream 'Ouch!' twice! But hey I would rather suffer this small pain rather than be sorry.
For more understanding about mammography please visit:
Who can resists this delicious waffles with blueberries compote? This huge waffles definitely fill me up for the rest of the day!
The waffles is great by itself, but with the tartness of the blueberries compote it takes on a different flavor and texture. All I can says is hmm.. good.
Happy Fourth to My Fellow American! It is the typical occasion for everyone here in USA to enjoy the leisure time for cold beer and back yard BBQ, fireworks or even get away vacation due to long holidays weekend.
Regardless what plan you are on please don't drink and drive.
Don't you think this phrase 'A little less makes it easier' well related to everyone in this world! Some of them go for their goal and willing to disrespect an elder folk at home and some of them simply asked for a better position. Well, there is nothing wrong to have a goal but hey an individual got to be do it in the right way rather then ruining others.
Why don't just consider a little less and makes it easier to all? Lastly, get a life...gosh
Woke up in the morning and notice the sun is shining and I seems got the peaceful mind today. Probably because of the special kisses that I got last night when the clock hit 12mid night. Hmm I would said that is part of it and today is 1st Jul which is my day. A big cheers for getting big 40 to me.
The cool Vertu collection seems wonderful. Thank You love for always gave me the best of all. You are always on my mind. Just love the dance, like no one else had ever danced before, I can’t explain what happened on that floor but the music played, we held each other close and we danced yeah we danced.
Looking back I did made the right decision to move to America to enhance my dream there is no doubt about it.
Just one more day to be an officially wrapping up the ugly June and I just can't wait that. It has been tough month for me to deal with family ordeal especially I am thousand miles away. Thanks to those relatives who willing to step up the plate for the right. That's matter to me and we will make it right from now on.
Let's hope the pretty July will bring hope and happiness for all.
That's right! Regardless what matter that we are dealing with and an individual does have the right to says 'No'. The reason why I wrote this it was because I came across the conversation that an individual claimed that he was asked to get back from another country to take care of his parent. With this causing him to missed an opportunity to earn the big bugs and lives like dying at this time.
Well, wasn't that is the inner beauty if he willing to do so and WTF to regrets now. Hmm he must be wise guy huh! Anyway, this is my advice to you. It is OK to says 'NO' because you does have a right to says NO.
Today is the first day of summer and technically I should in very easy mood especially begin to enjoy the summer break. Unfortunately, I didn't this time as the a disturbing occurrence was brought to my attention. It simply because of the trashy lady rules the house and the husband can't stand up for his very own mom. Wow! This is absolutely unspeakable and unforgivable act. How would my SO CALL brother became like this? Though I do have four words for their family which are 'I PRAY FOR YOU'.
I haven't been to church since I don't remember when, Things were going great til they fell apart again So I listened to the preacher as he told me what to do He said you can't go hatin' others who have done wrong to you Sometimes we get angry but we must not condemn Let the good Lord do his job, you just pray for them

I'm really glad I found my way to church Cause I'm already feelin' better and I thank God for the words Yeah, I'm gonna take the high road and do what the preacher told me to do You keep messin' up, and I'll keep prayin' for you

I pray your brakes go out runnin' down a hill I pray a flower pot falls from a window sill And knocks you in the head like I'd like to I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls I pray you're flyin' high when your engine stalls I pray all your dreams never come true Just know wherever you are, near or far In your house or in your car Wherever you are, honey, I pray for you I pray for you
It is Father's day! I wants to wish all the Dad around the world 'Happy Father's day'. Bet you will get the surprise treats especially this weekend oops! No matter what you deserved it especially in this special day.
This celebration event doesn't exist on my calendar anymore as it slowly face out since he passed away. He lost the evil cancer battle three years ago and all I got just a wonderful moment that I will cherish for now and forever. Thanks to him for brought me into this world.
In this wonderful day and I am thinking of you my late Father and Father's in-law. May both of you RIP!
Our annual Summer Picnic held @ Great America amusement park this year. Although we spent just a good of 3hrs there rather than the rest of the day but we got a blast. Get on a few thrill rides and explore the fun part of the park. Though the fight deck and survivor the ride were real scare for me. We were serve food and drink as well. Unfortunately, unhappy worker everywhere. An auntie who served us the food doesn't seem to pay attention at all. I told her that I just need small portion of the pasta but hey she gave me full size. Oh well,
Anyway, I truly got a great time there and in fact that was my very first time in Great America after 10years here in USA. Here's some of the pictures that I took below:-
This s really special Monday for me. I thought by able to hit my target on my work our session is an absolute reward for me. Well, today it has more ! I got another complement from the GBS Team in Europe. Glad to read that good words and knowing people really appreciate the work that I done for them.
My manager then share news to the team:-
**********
Team! Once again it is proven that even "the little things" make a difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eliza, thank you for your hard work!!!
***********
This is the 4th complement that I got since Feb. It is an honor to get the recognition like this. The best part is it has been the 4th months continuously that I got it. Ah I am very proud of myself.
OMG! I am still in shock after read the surprise email from my BFF in my home town. I was told that she quit her job and can reach her out on her personal email address. She told me that she tired of work and plan to assist their family business instead. Ideally, quitting is not a good choice especially in this economy situation. Well, I will call it as a very brave and bad decision.
There is no doubt she is a smart girl but unfortunately doesn't seems bright. Really shame on Penang Free School to produce student like this obviously awkward. How could she willing to gave up her opportunity with huge corporation rather family business where doesn't seems grow! In fact, her uncles are also working on that pawn shop. How much she can do and develop especially the area control by XX? That job that she worked for 10+ years that she just quit. It was the one I recommended her too. Come on is about time to move on for better.
Not to be offense and I truly think this Chinese Heritage thinking got to go big time. She does has a brother and what if she even up just assist and end up with nothing. Change is good if she found a better job but I just don't see it though. I don't forgot where I came from but I really think it is good to take some challenges and go for outsider comfort zone rather. Of course, it's her choice on what she wants but on my point of view it just not worth it at all.
I am still in shocking on her decision that she made.
4 years ago today on 7th of June! I arrived at campus one hour early simply because of too excited to join this huge corporation. Seating there at the lobby by watching the wax moving up and down it just a treasure with uneasy feeling as first day reporting to work. Ah I should have take a mini vacation prior start a new job?
Well, during the orientation and I was told and shown an interesting advantageous such as gym, cafe, pool, washing machine room, soda for moving around the campus and etc. Ah I begin to love it and I thought Cisco is great but hey this is better.
FOC gourmet meals breakfast, lunch and dinner in many choices of cuisine. In depend on what you want. Gym, wine testing, super stars performance live in campus and so much more exciting event. In fact, til date I earn lots of credit by simply do some survey study and etc. Gees, the foods and snacks around here is hard to stay fit!
Though I knew its required long work hours to accomplish my projects and responsibilities to achieve it. Trust me it wasn't easy. In additional with the night classes it makes me harder though. I felt specially good as got the greeting my management.
We got the scorching high weather this weekend. Although the summer is not official here yet but we knew it's around the corner. Gees, the weather hit 90+ degrees yesterday and looks like it will be the same for today. All I needed is to apply the sun screen then stay into the pool until the sun go down.
Though all the parents will need to pay more attention to their kids. To ensure watch their kids where ever they go whether in the pool or room. In the past, there are many incident happened such as kids found death of drowning, in the car or fall off from the window. Understood, these aren't the intention of parents but if they may pay more attention the disaster will not happened.
So, keep in mind 'Scorching weather + Careless = Disaster'
Many of us love the word of 'Too'. In fact, it simply added to our daily activities without realize. So, what is Too? The answer can be Also, as well as and more than is necessary'.
The common TOO are:-
Too close
Too ego
Too fast
Too much
Too stupid
Too weird
Though these evil TOO may have the chemistry to lure the user to feel the love of liking it. Once he/she got hook then an individual will need to pay consequences.
There is no doubt the there are also good things for Too as well but how many of us able to control the evil 'Too' though
What a great show that ACM present the Brooks and Dunn last rodeo. I bet it must be wonderful to personally witness the last rodeo in MGM/Las Vegas. Thank Goodness that CBS air the taping last night. I truly enjoy the every second of the 2hours.
All Stars lineup to cranks out the hits to help the Academy honor beloved duo Brooks & Dunn. The special performance by Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Faith Hill, Jennifer Hudson, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Darius Rucker, The King ‘George Strait, Sugarland, Taylor Swift, Carrier Underwood and Keith Urban.
Both Kit Brooks and Ronnie Dunn received the Academy’s Milestone Award in recognition of their outstanding 20years career where honored for holding the record for the most wns of any artsy in the Academy’s history.
The pleasant weather of California and the opportunity of the Silicon Valley just another element to drawn people to move here in Golden State. In additional, there are many tourism spots that make the people who live here proud. Also, lure many outsider wanting for a visit. But it does have disadvantages especially with tax that we paid.
I do notice that people tense to mooch with us for the reason coming for a visit or visits. There are many so call long lost friends, family members or relatives will start reaching out for the connection as they knew there are planing for visiting.
In the past, I got a very bad experience as my brother friend that I didn't know him much contacted me as he is in town for his business trip. Guess what he brought his six others friends that I did not know at all for the dinner as well. Oh joy! What frustrated was I end up paid the entire bill. Gees, when I was visiting my home town and just happened that he also visiting my brother at home. He not even said 'hi' to me. That really ticks me off. Though some of them will come up with a polite way to ask for recommendation of car rental, hotels and etc. But hey I get it though
I am not anti social but we do have our own agenda for weekend especially long work week. Just simply want to whine down low and just two of us rather. So, this is my theory if you are traveling then expect spending, respect the privacy to who are you going to meet and be independent.
Is time to wake up! Come on the breakfast is ready! Please finish all the food on your plate! These are a few common words that you may hear from the one and only mom. The lady of the house who try their best to keep the house organized and taking care of everyone at home. She not even whine 'I am so tired' although she got a long day. She is a hero of the home.
Happy Mother's day to all the Mom's out there. Today is the day that we as a children to honor you for being mom and motherhood for us. Yes! I am thinking and missing my mama badly especially today. I called her last night just to wish her 'Happy Mother's day' as I am thousand miles away from her. She is my best friend and greatest mama in the world. Who always give her unconditional love to me. Always stand by me regardless what went wrong. I can go on and on if talk about her.
Though for those who believe in Chinese Heritage that 'SON' will take good care of mom later or favoritism of son rather. Uhg please knock it off! Because as daughter does capable to taking care of parents and there is no question about it.
May I asked family or money comes first? I knew this a simple question and yet complicated and is hard for me to answer. This is because I don't have the ability to answer this anymore. I used to have a lovely family where were poor and yet happy to go by day by day. But trust me we got the blue sky everyday even our rooftop drip when it rains. Unfortunately and shamefully, things changed a few years ago. All I have now are the dark and gray. Thankfully, I got my love who is always lean his shoulder and support me.
Since my loser brother married the trashy lady and he changed significantly. The most matter to him is about $$$ and he even took away the donation from public for Dad before his funeral. As for another sibling she tried to rip me off by wanting me to partnership with her to purchase a house that I got to pay 40% and she will give me a room on that house! Wow this must be an expensive room huh! Also, the long lost cousins are now trying to connect with me. Gees, I am not sure why it's happening now? These kinds of storms really causing me lose the lights.
There is no doubt that I am in stable financial status especially I am making USD. Buy hey I work hard for the money. In fact, I go for evening classes to upgrade myself in order to go for next level. With these kinds of situation I can't articulate whether family or money comes first! I am not proud of these it is the fact now for me. What can I say?
I bet some others people are lucky enough to have these both important elements in their lives.
Aw...! I finally nailed 100% scored on my test today. Gees, I have been struggling to get 100% not sure why I always missed one point or question to get the perfect score. But with my love advice and I went slow and read the question slowly to ensure I that I completely understand and agree with my answer.
With the strategy and I get the perfect score. That really put a smile on my face after a long day at work and class . I will definitely use this new strategy from now on.
Don't understand why people tense to drive slow in left lane. What's wrong with he/she to drive about 20miles per hour in left lane and no intention to turn left at all. Not sure it is because of the individual lack of knowledge of driving or just being stupid. Understood each country has their own traffic rules especially those countries that control by European countries before somewhat it influence of the rules. Like right lane is meant for fast lane and etc.
But hey this is America and fast lane is in our LEFT side! If this people don't understand how to drive in America and I don't think they deserve to drive period rather then clog up the traffic flow.
It has survived two major earthquakes, two world wards, a depression, several recessions and a number of journalistic gatherings. Here's the magic price...
Gees, not sure why the Cars soundtrack music 'Behind The Clouds' that sung by Brad Paisley keeps playing in head though
When you're feeling lonely, lost and let down Seems like those dark skies are following you around And life's just one big shade of gray You wonder if you'll see the light of day
{chorus} Behind the clouds, the sun is shining Believe me even though you can't quite make it out You may not see the silver lining But there's a big blue sky waiting just behind the clouds
I've heard it said that this too shall pass Good times or bad times, neither one lasts But thinking that your luck won't ever change Is like thinking it won't ever stop once it starts to rain
{chorus} Behind the clouds, the sun is shining Believe me even though you can't quite make it out You may not see the silver lining But there's a big blue sky waiting just behind the clouds Yeah, there's a big blue sky waiting just behind the clouds
Thought it is a good to know on how to prepare for earthquake especially to people who live in California. Who will forgot about the big quake that struck San Francisco decades ago! And per USGS we have 99.7% chance of big earthquake in Next 30 years.
Where to be During an Earthquake:
Remember that stuff about hiding under a table or standing in a doorway? Well, this guy has a completely reverse opinion. This is very interesting, different from what we were all taught.
Please read this and pass the info along to your family members; it could save their lives someday!
TIPS FOR EARTHQUAKE SAFETY
1. Most everyone who simply 'ducks and covers' WHEN BUILDINGS COLLAPSE is crushed to death. People who get under objects, like desks or cars, are crushed.
2. Cats, dogs and babies often naturally curl up in the fetal position. You should too in an earthquake. It is a natural safety/survival instinct. You can survive in a smaller void. Get next to an object, next to a sofa, next to a large bulky object that will compress slightly but leave a void next to it.
3 Wooden buildings are the safest type of construction to be in during an earthquake. Wood is flexible and moves with the force of the earthquake. If the wooden building does collapse, large survival voids are created. Also, the wooden building has less concentrated, crushing weight. Brick buildings will break into individual bricks. Bricks will cause many injuries but less squashed bodies than concrete slabs.
4. If you are in bed during the night and an earthquake occurs, simply roll off the bed. A safe void will exist around the bed. Hotels can achieve a much greater survival rate in earthquakes, simply by posting a sign on the back of the door of every room telling occupants to lie down on the floor, next to the bottom of the bed during an earthquake.
5. If an earthquake happens and you cannot easily escape by getting out the door or window, then lie down and curl up in the fetal position next to a sofa, or large chair.
6. Most everyone who gets under a doorway when buildings collapse is killed. How? If you stand under a doorway and the doorjamb falls forward or backward you will be crushed by the ceiling above. If the door jam falls sideways you will be cut in half by the doorway. In either case, you will be killed!
7. Never go to the stairs. The stairs have a different 'moment of frequency' (they swing separately from the main part of the building). The stairs and remainder of the building continuously bump into each other until structural failure of the stairs takes place. The people who get on stairs before they fail are chopped up by the stair treads - horribly mutilated. Even if the building doesn't collapse, stay away from the stairs. The stairs are a likely part of the building to be damaged. Even if the stairs are not collapsed by the earthquake, they may collapse later when overloaded by fleeing people. They should always be checked for safety, even when the rest of the building is not damaged.
8. Get Near the Outer Walls Of Buildings Or Outside Of Them If Possible - It is much better to be near the outside of the building rather than the interior. The farther inside you are from the outside perimeter of the building the greater the probability that your escape route will be blocked.
9. People inside of their vehicles are crushed when the road above falls in an earthquake and crushes their vehicles; which is exactly what happened with the slabs between the decks of the Nimitz Freeway. The victims of the San Francisco earthquake all stayed inside of their vehicles. They were all killed. They could have easily survived by getting out and sitting or lying next to their vehicles. Everyone killed would have survived if they had been able to get out of their cars and sit or lie next to them. All the crushed cars had voids 3 feet high next to them, except for the cars that had columns fall directly across them.
Woo hoo! That's right the long wait is over. I got the magic call from my love that his fight confirmed. Yes! he finally back from his European trip. It was a slow and painful trip for him especially long delay due to the volcanic ash.
I can't wait for his eta in SFO so that I may pick him up awooooo
What a great morning to begin with. To received a Compliment and Thank You note from someone that I assist before. It was so thoughtful of him to do this though. I would say not many people willing to do this but hey I got it. And these were my 2nd compliments notes that I received 2 months in the rolls. I work hard and this reward really will put a smile to me.
Gees, I can't wait to watch the 45th ACM Awards to night @ 8pm via CBS. Once again will host by Reba Mcentire. My prediction of winners are Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood. Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, Lady A will have a great moment. Good luck to you all the ACM nominees.
Nice weather outside and the temperature around 75degress. This is perfect weather for out door activities. However, I am just moody and don't feel like to do anything besides, sitting on the couch. Just hoping my love will back home soon as he stranded in Europe due to volcanic eruption.
The worst nightmare for all travelers from and to European countries since the Iceland volcanic eruption yesterday! It was a massive erupting for the second time in the month and spewing huge ash up to 11 kilo meters in the sky and prompting aviation authorities to close airspace as a safety precaution. This eruption has caused the worst aviation disruption since Sept 11th. It could takes days or weeks for the ash to clear and it another root cause drives airlines towards bankruptcy path. Aviation Industries reported lost $200m a day.
Sitting here in our home theater while the massage chair rolling, movie is playing and I am sipping a glass of red wine. Technically, I should have enjoyed this kind of environment but I did not to night. This is because my mind is somewhere else. Thinking and missing my love who is now on his European business trip.
Hence I picked up the laptop and began to write this blog entry. Looking forward on his SMS updates soon. Probably, I will get another glass of wine while I am waiting for his updates.
The intelligent of the Technologies in these day obviously makes everyone easier. We may simply enjoy the goodness of these smart intelligent tool in our daily life at home or in huge cooperation world. Communication through phone (land line/cell/IP) , video chat, SMS, IM and etc.
Though I am shocked to watched the ex-Illinois Governor 'Rod B' got fired from the reality show 'Celebrity Apprentice' last night. With the bizarre reason 'lacking of technologies' and he don't know how to operate computer/laptop nor know how to type and takes time to figure out how to use cell phone and SMS yike! I have no ideal on how he will get the position of Governor in Illinois and Thank God he is gone now whew...
I just don't know how can anyone afford on lacking of Technologies in this century.
Easter is one of the 4 major celebrations in Catholics calendar. In Easter Sunday, the fellow Catholics are celebrating the resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. It is typically the most well attended Sunday service of the year of Catholic churches.
Family plan their eggs hunt event and kids are trying their best for the candies. For those who are creative will color the boiled eggs and make pretty design to prove their ability.
I bet most of the people in America are playing and testing with their newest Apple gadget that released from Apple store this morning at 9am. This is a latest released gadget call 'Ipad tablet' just about 1.5pound in Wi Fi model with 9.56 X7.47X.5" some of 32g and 64g. http://www.apple.com/ipad/
It allow the users to perform various tasks including browsing the web, watching videos, playing games reading eBooks by using fingertips. However, the 3G model will release late April and available om U.S. though as for Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK soon.
For those who had place order online will have the privilege to pickup their order until 3pm otherwise their order will open to others.
We picked up our order around 12.30pm it obviously packed with customers. Thank God Apple store have enough staffs to take care of their customers. Then we stop by Italian restaurant for lunch hmm that's yummy!
As the Easter season approaching and once again we can see the Peeps marshmallow candies in store just right in time for the celebration. I love the colors of the chicks and bunnies and they are so lovely and adorable. It would great if they have the flavor accordingly to the color.
I love to eat my peeps by aging them. Just leaving them open package for weeks or month! It will be crisper density similar to meringue cookies or the hard ice-cream marshmallow topping on candy ice cream cones. Eat it while it frozen is good too.
you know! You Know!! YOU KNOW!!! uhg I got annoyed by looking at these words. How about you? just imagine if you have 5mins conversation and get dozen of 'You Know' wording on it. Gees, it will ticks me off for sure. And my respond will be 'I don't know rather'.
Don't care nor want to know why people tend to say this but I will stay away from this type people. Because I got better thing to do 'you know'! oops...
It's official and the cold and chill winter season is now a history as we are in the 1st day of spring. With that means short skirt, capri pants, swim suits, tiny top, sun glasses, sandal, peep toes shoes and wedge shoes are in style. Man I can't wait for that.
The beautiful colors of the flowers such as as birds of paradies, cherry blossom, freesia, tulip and zinnia (just to name a few) are also playing their role to bloom the beautiful colors of the flowers just in time for the season. Though be careful of the pollen and be sure to take allergy meds and apply the sun protection lotion as well. Here's the pictures of our garden.
Since I walked out from the testing room and the question 'WHY' keeps se-rounded my mind. Because I did it again the same darn mistake :( with that lead me to just one question shy from getting the perfect 100 score grrhh!
Thought I double check my answer, read and think carefully but why I changed my answer from correct to wrong ones?
So we both are craving for Italian to night! Don't feel like drive too far especially dealing with the evening traffic rush. Thus we end up dine in at Cafe Torre. OMG! This is the place for good food and just perfect to whine down the long week that we both had. The smoked chicken linguine is our all time favorite and we never fail to order this. The crispy and crunchy calamari is to die for.
Though don't let the strip mall fool you! It has a surprise as soon as you walk in despite the old fashion decoration and yet cozy environment. That is the place to dine in especially with good food and company. They have a good selection of wine as well. The service was good and the owner Vince always there to ensure his customer well treated. The dessert was a delicious ending to the wonderful evening. Thought it was a little pricey but hey you get what you pay for!
This entry really got me because I am not sure how to start. It drives me to the edge and got chill when I read the email from my sister Evelyn. Thanks to her for letting me know all the info though
Mom spent about 2 weeks with my sister for Chinese New Year celebration. However, she sent her back home and my so call 'brother' changed the lock of the door without notify neither mom nor my sister!
Then my sister advised him to observed Mom eyes visions as she has been complaining don't see well. Guess what his responses :-
Who cares!
She is a very bad and nasty old lady!
Asked her to be well behaved!
I will not have a mother like this!
Seriously, I am not sure why he hated mom so much where got all the properties such business and house from her! But where is the respect? Is it because of his evil trashy wife lead to him to be what he is now! He is totally a different person since he got married. And I want to wish him well and I believe in 'Karma'.
I bet Mom must be sad and lonely with no voice to fight for herself. As she really put a high hope on his son but hey he is a monster now! I will talk to her if she wants to live with us. But again she will need to deal with the weather and culture here.
For those who believe to turn over their business and properties to their 'SON' especially to Chinese Heritage and Culture. And I can prove it is another failure concept. Uhg very disturbing family ordeal!
How would Irish celebration related dearly with me? Pause and think hmm still doesn't make any sense! I know but it really does related well to me.
Seven years ago, around 11.30am I received a text message from a new friend of my that we only exchange emails and SMS thus far. He asked me if I have any plan otherwise he would like to meet me. Wow! I am excited but again I am not sure I am ready to meet though
Therefore I responses to him that I will need to focus on my exam that will happen in April. But after my responses and I felt uneasy feeling and can't concentrate on the study as well. Thus I SMS him that I would like to meet and we plan to meet at 1pm.
I am excited and nervous because this is our first date. Getting ready and put on the best dress and waiting the time to hit 1pm. As I am stand on my front door and saw a gentlemen with smile with his twinkle blue eyes walk towards me. In the moment, I decided I want to know him more no matter what our date turn out.
Show him around my apartment then we went to Ocean Beach for a walk and took some pictures too. Follow by ate late lunch at 'Rain Forest' in down town SF. Oh my! he is so easy to connect, very modest and great personality. As we on our way home and we notice city workers are preparing to close the street for the St. Patrick's Day procession. I did quietly said to myself St. Patrick's Day indeed special to me.
Guess what! We went to Irish bar for the cold one and bites earlier. Just to relax as both of us got the long week at work. By looking at the decoration of the bar with three and four leaf clover tags hanging around really brought me back on my memory of out first date. We've been married for 6+ years now and I know I'm blessed to have him in my life. This is why Irish celebration does related with me.
I am very impressed that Oprah took her celebrity power to go for the 'No Phone Zone' campaign to bring awareness of No Phone Zone pledge. Seriously, just too many lives had been shorten simply because of people using cell while driving.
There is no doubt, cell phone plays a hug roll in our daily life. In fact, the kids under 10 years old, grandpa and grandma will also have the cool gadget so 'Cell Phone'. However, the smart phone in these days has the cool feature and allow the user to send SMS, GPS navigating, browsing web and may more apps! In additional, it has the great sound system as well. The latest Apple Ipod Touch has 64GM and Nexus One by Google has all then Google Apps.
It's a nature, things come bad and good! And it came down to how the user operating it. Although, the hands free driving and ban texting band for teenager law had been enacted in many States. Sadly, many of them out there still ignore the law. (still chatting on the cell without headset, texting and browsing web while driving)
Is that time of the year again and it's cookies season! Once again we may see there will be a booth in front of the church or local grocery store for selling the Girl Scouts cookies. No matter how many varieties available and our definite choice will still the 'Thin Mints'. Bought 3boxes of that from my peer. Bet I will get more later.

Alleluia! Alleluia!! Alleluia!!! The Happy Tale finally came through after the 97hrs of the incident happened. I got a called from my love around 5.27pm that he is on his way to Santa Clara police station to pickup my wallet. OMG! I am so glad to heard that and also excited to know what else will be in there. Can't wait for him to come back!
Then my love came home with my wallet and I notice all the credit cards which we suspended that night are there. Also, my ID, DL and the picture of my love. However, I am so glad to have back the picture of him when he was 6 years. Very Nice! Unfortunately, the coin and others were gone.
Actually, my love got a called from a stranger prior the police call. The stranger found my wallet at the dumpster somewhere San Jose. My love advised the stranger to send the wallet to police station to avoid scamp.
Although, I am struggling with pain of the blues and injuries of my knees but I am glad at least I got back something especially the picture of my love. I cleaned the wallet with the disinfectant wipes to avoid gems.
May God Bless the person who sent my wallet to the Police Station. Thank You so much for being a good citizen.
6mins before 8am a small plane '310' with twin engine Cessna struck transmission tower shortly after take-off. Crashing down on a residential street and killing all three people on-board. Also, destroyed two home and vehicles too! Thank God no one on the street got injury. Despite the thick fog and the season pilot who has more than 2000 hours on his fly record. It must be some technical issues. Our thought and prayer to the families of victims.
Taking pilot license is still the goal that I need to achieve but it really lead me to think twice now!
Day 2 after the robbed incident and my whole body still in pain! Don't sleep well and struggling with pain each times I move. The pain just drives me nuts. The blues of my elbow had changed to darker color. Unfortunately, some parts of the wound on my leg still very raw. Hopefully alcohol wipes and triple antibiotic may avoid the infection.
The pain of flash back just drive me to the edge and nuts. Though I feel so blessed as I notice people surrounded me are so nice to show their support to me. That's I needed the most. In additional, I am glad that sgt called me and verifying some details with me for further investigation. Woahh the county really take good care of my case and I Thank You.
For now ibuprofen will be the source to help me to ease the pain.
Around 4.30pm and I went out to mail the Nextflex and also to BOA to deposit my rebate check. As I pulled in the BOA parking lot then I saw a beautiful and shinning Jaguar parked with the engine running at the disable spot. Hmm the driver who is walking towards the ATM doesn't looks disable though
While I am depositing my check and the white Jaguar pulled off and leaving the bank. Well, I am finishing deposit the check and walk towards my car. I saw a black man walk from behind the next building towards the ATM machine, I got a senses something ain't right and as I rush into my car and he is running towards me. I tried to scream 'hey, hey, hey while I am on tagging war with him about 20seconds. I was dragged on the ground as I trying to pulled my handbag. Unfortunately, I can't hold on any longer and he ran away with my handbag. As I was driving away from the bank and the white jaguar couple stop me about 100 feet away and asked me 'Are You OK' both of them witness what had happened. They even call the police and allow me to call my hubby on this. Five minutes later Officer Lowery came so thus fire truck and ambulance arrived.
My both knees, elbow were injury and bleeding,. The parametric came by and asked if I need to go to hospital or do treatment for me in the ambulance. I thank them but I don't think I need that but I need my husband. The parametric advised me to hospital later just to be sure all are OK. The wife of the white jaguar got me a drink just to calm me down. Wow what a sweet lady. I knew it stupid to resist with him but I felt great as I tried to fight for my stuffs.
Officer Lowery took statement from the witness and me. And notice 5 of the police cars came with K9 to start they search activities. I feel so secure when I saw my love is on the way toward me.
My LV handbag, Guess sun glasses, Nokia E61i, digital camera, cash, unique coin from Dad, credit cards, Rosary that blessed by Pope John Paul II and etc were gone now. It is understood that things lost can generally be replaced, but some just can't, such as the coin that my father gave me just before he passed away. I have a little hope that it will ever be found :( but I am so grateful that the law enforcement officers responses. Especially Officer Lowery really took good care of my case. I truly hope the men who robbed me will be caught soon and redeem himself. The city of Cupertino need not need this kind of low individual.
However, I want to give my sincere thank to the couple who willing to be the witness and help me around. Of course, not forgetting Officer Lowery #1843 for the attention on my case. Also, many thank to my love as always be there for me (will make up time for the Valentine celebration) Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help.
My name is Eliza Sweeyin. T. Scott. I am Malaysians but I was born Chinese. Grew up with a small family in the famous town which is call “Penang Island” Malay is our native language and I have been studying English since I was in primary school. I am very impress to see people who fluent in English especially look at how they social after mass or sing during the mass. That’s lead me to think that how friendly and powerful of ‘English’ will be. Thus my America dreams exist and even dream to married the blue eyes Prince.
I made it in America in 2001 however gone thru bitter sweet experiences. I am happily married in 2003 to smart, intelligent gentlemen and his name is Rob Scott. He always there for me and encourage me back to school and walk me thru the difficulties. He is my angel, my hero, my lovely Pinky pie, he's everything I ever wanted and everything I need. Honestly, I can talk about him; I will go on and on and on because he's everything to me.
Thank you Lord that you have been blessed me with the gift of TRUE LOVE.
