King Kong

Peter started his new job yesterday. It was weird to see him at work wearing a Mercy name badge. We had lunch together and I got to introduce him to some of co-workers. We went to bed super early last night, around 9 because Peter had to work at 6:30 this morning. We must have been really tired because we felt asleep with the lamp on. We usually talk a little bit before we turn off the light and sleep, apparently our conversation didn't go very far last night. This morning I woke up and screamed at Peter, "Get Up! You are Late!" Then I realized it was only 2 in the morning. My clock was still flashing 10 o'clock from the power outage yesterday, I thought it was 10 am. Gee, I'm more anxious for his work than he is.

We saw King Kong the other night, and it was one of the worst movies I have seen lately. Yes, the worst. The special effect was cheesy, especially the scene where they were running between the legs of bunch of running dinosaurs. It looked like those things they have in science museum where you can make your own adventure scene in front of a green screen. It's that bad. Also I didn't really care about any of the characters. It made me mad to see Ann crying when they were throwing chloroform bottles at King Kong while it's attacking the other characters and already killed a bunch. What the hell is wrong with this woman? I just don't get it. Maybe she just felt bad for the animal, but they made it look like there's some kind of romantic thing going on. I don't think a gorilla is capable of falling in love with a tiny woman even though it knows kung-fu moves. Did anyone see how it fought the other dinosaurs? The whole movie is so fake and not convincing at all, not that I want to believe it's true. It's not even entertaining. What happened to the greatest director that directed LOTRs? It clearly shows that he has more respect and passion for LOTRs than King Kong. Who wouldn't?

Little update on the job, they are still interviewing people. Already five people have been interviewed and only one position. My chance is getting smaller and smaller. Oh well, I think I'm going to forget about it. This way I'm not going to be disappointed if I don't get it, and it will be a nice surprise when I do get it =)

Silly flower pictures

Found some pretty flowers while out walking today and took bunch of silly pictures.

Dinner with Mary Ann and movies

Finally got together with Mary Ann again. We had dinner together because we both got LC at 1500. How great was that?! One of our nursing assistant was having heart attack like symptoms and had to go to the ER, I hope she's okay. She was still in ER when we left work. Then Peter and I saw couple movies tonight, Three Extremes and The World's Fastest Indian. Three Extremes has three horror movies from Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan. They are not scary, mostly just gross. The first story was about a middle-aged chinese woman trying to regain her youth by eating dumplings that are made with fetuses. Yep, it was pretty sick. I'm sure it will give you something to think about next time you eat dumplings. The second story was kinda dumb, and the third one was confusing. Anyway, I don't recommend it. Not that I think any of my friends are interested, most of them are scared of scary movies. Bunch of chickens, haha... Now, The World's Fastest Indian I do recommend. It is a feel good movie without being too cheesy or cornball. By the way, Anthony Hopkins was very adorable in it. I was cheering for the old man. He came all the way from the land down under to Utah to set the land-speed world record and made friends along the way.

Back again

I'm sick of myspace already. There are too many people on it and most of them are bunch of idioits! Myspace is a filthy place filled with slutty photos and tons of advertisement. I hate it when I get messages from all these bands that got no talent. Okay, maybe I'm a little harsh. I can't believe I'm back to blogger again. This was my very first blog. I've spent all afternoon in front of the computer blogging and customizing. We got rid of our satellite tv, and now I'm surviving on antenna. This is definitely for the better. Now I have no reason to just sit on my butt all day watching tv, I can actually enjoy life more. I'm hoping we can go see Pirates of the Caribbean tonight.

Half empty glass

Well, what can I say about this year so far? It's been same old same. I still haven't heard anything from the job yet. If I do get this job, this can probably be my biggest challenge this year. Sometimes I feel lost in simple life. I get scared when everything is going too well. My current mood: glass half empty. I'm kinda homesick. I have never imagined myself living in America for this long. I have made some wonderful friends here, but oddly enough, I don't have any asian friends, except my college roommate. Even though this place started to feel like home, I still feel out of place sometimes. No matter how nice and welcoming people are, there are certain things you can only relate to your own people. I'm afraid that I may never live in Hong Kong again. Will I be a foreigner for the rest of my life?

Dreams and hope

My mind has been going a little crazy lately. It's like that every time after a trip. I think it's because I feel depressed that the fun time is over. My last trip was to Minneapolis last weekend. I had so much fun that almost made me want to move there. I have been thinking about it, just thinking. I have to consider how our lives will be changed if we move there. We'd like to raise our children here in Des Moines. Our plan of having babies changes every year. We are planning on starting a family next year, but it may change again. I'm scared, but I think having babies will be wonderful even though they come with tons of responsibilities and sacrifices. I know some couples who are married all their lives and never have kids. I hope we don't become like that. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with that, it's just not us. We want a nice size family, maybe 4-5 kids and many grandchildren. Haha...

I know we all have different dreams and hope, we all live different lives. What you want for yours may not be what I want for mine. My dear friends, I wish you all the best whether you just want to live in a farm and milk cows, or pursuing the nobel prize.

Shopping day with Mary Ann

I left work early today so I could go shop for gifts for my friend Wing. She's having a birthday/housewarming party this weekend, and we are invited! We will drive up tomorrow and be back Sunday night. I can't wait for this fun-filled-weekend. After I got off work, I called Mary Ann to see if she's free to hang out. I'm glad she was. She's always so nice, and I love spending time with her. We don't really do anything crazy, just some girly stuff like shopping. Sometimes I feel like we are like two old grannies. So we went to her favorite store Maurices. Mary Ann picked out an outfit for me and I love it! Girl, we got to do something less destructive to my wallet next time. We wrapped up the night with a delicious meal at Taki. More sushi adventure for Mary Ann. How come two white kids can hold chopsticks better than I do?!
