I had a plan of visiting my colleague’s place with a lush green garden and lots of fruit trees. My handsome flatmate is sick so he couldn’t bear travelling a long distance to enjoy the garden view with me. And when I woke up, I got a call from my friend.

T: You woke up?

Me: Yeah, wassup?

T: Go and get your bike. Ask your flatmate to come along.

Me: Really?

T: Sure, see you there.

I quickly reset my plan for today as I need to get my bike, which had been quarantined by the cops for a week. To be more exact, that was not my bike. My flatmate’s bike almost broke down due to its own age and overdue usage, so he decided to buy a new scooter. He’s not a local so I stood out to be the scooter owner on paper and he paid for it. We were on the way to get our scooter’s plate number and the cops stopped us. What a conflict system! Anyway, we have fought on and on against the cops but in the end, we were the ones who lost out. Well, the cops are the law. We will be losing out if we keep going against them even if they’re totally wrong. So, we still have to close our eyes and bribed them. No choice, I don’t want the scooter suddenly went missing in the parking lots, which happened commonly over here. After 10 days sleeping and eating on fire, we finally can get it out, TODAY!

I asked my flatmate to get ready to accompany me to see the cops. Poor guy is sick and couldn’t talk properly as his voice just wandered somewhere else. We got to the cop station and spend more than 4 hours just to get the scooter out safely and soundly. You can imagine how horribly we were tortured. And do you still want to listen to my painful story, by the way?

Let’s skip it! The scooter is safe in my parents’ house now. I couldn’t go to my colleague’s place in the end and felt kinda sad. My flatmate didn’t get any better with his flu and I was praying he wouldn’t pass it on to me. We went out for ice-cream later on but my flatmate, instead, suit himself with a cup of hot cocoa. Still, he didn’t get any better and I just forced him to rest after watching an interesting movie at home.

My plan of re-visiting Malaysia has gone down to the drain (again). Reason? Bad timing, of course. Sigh… Now my aim is the States in winter and I’m going to stay with Karen, my colleague (she’s from San Francisco) and will go skiing, wooohooo! I’d better save money from now for my ticket and skiing lesson. Hmn… Exciting!!!

My stomach feels so weird now. Perhaps 5 scoops of ice-cream created some special effects for my internal organs. *burps*….. ewww! Excuse me…. And I think it’s time for me to visit my bed.

I would take a deep breathe and exhale with a longest "Wowwww....!" ever!

It's been a while since the last time I updated my blog. Xanga, as usual, sent me a very lovely message, something like "Welcome back! We thought you have forgotten about us, about your magical blog, for some reasons which we wouldn't want or bother to know...". Xanga, yes, I am back to you and to all my friends who already started cursing me for letting them so outdated for a long a time of keeping quiet like a snail.

Yeah, I am back with so many things to write. And now comes to the biggest question of the day (or of the blog):

What should I write now?!?!?

*Frown my brows for a second*

Okay, big news for those who hate me for letting them grow outdated: I've moved out successfully without much noise surely made by mom and dad.

Raise your jaws up, darlings! Don't let your jaws drop!!!!

Yeah I know. It's a big thing to say to you all. My flatmate is a Malaysian, isn't it wonderful? Oh wait, the more wonderful thing is this is a guy.

Raise your jaws up, again, darlings! Don't let them drop (again)!!!!

My life is more stable now after so many things happened. That's why now I have time to sit and squeeze my brain for what to write. It's been almost half a year since I joined HSBC Vietnam. It's such a wonderful place to work. It's such a wonderful job that I have ever had. It's such a..... Ok, some of you start nodding with sympathy "Yeah, we understand. It's just the first 6 months."

But seriously, I've never felt like that before. I really enjoy my job. I really lovvvveeeee it!

(Oh gosh, do I sound like a workaholic? Well, no surprise, I already am)

My boyfriend is very worried now. That I'm much in love with my job, rather than with him.

Talking about my boyfriend, he's good and we're still doing fine. However, we have a little bit of issue here. We're too busy with our jobs and studies and hardly find time to talk. Plus, the time difference really makes it difficult for us to converse over the super-connecting technology - internet. I miss his smile, his talk and his broad shoulders. I am very very very emotional right now! Too bad, he doesn't read (or doesn't want to read) my blog at all. So, I just silently wish that he could understand how I feel and what I think of all the times. Magic O magic, please work your way out!!!

My nephew, oh yeah, let's talk about my nephew. FYI, my nephew is gonna celebrate his 2nd birthday at the end of July. Oh my gosh, let me tell you what happened this evening. I was just about finish my work of the day and my older brother called. He and his little family were in Phu Quoc Island for a short vacation. He asked if I wanted to talk to my little handsome nephew - "Tiny Dragon" (my nickname for him, a.k.a Gabbie). Now, this is the phony conversation between us.

Me: Ohhhh Tiny Dragon, don't you just love the beach?

Tiny Dragon: Tiny Dragon loves it. Tiny Dragon loves the beach.

Me: Did you swim?

Tiny Dragon: Tiny Dragon goes swimming.

Me: Did you build the sand castle?

Tiny Dragon: Yes, Tiny Dragon played with the sand.

Me: And what else?

Tiny Dragon: Tiny Dragon saw birds flying, flying.

Me: Awwww.... You come back here. Do you want to go play with me?

Tiny Dragon: Tiny Dragon miss you, auntie. Tiny Dragon want to go play with auntie.

Me *wanted to cry already*: Come back! Come back! Tomorrow ok?

Tiny Dragon: Do auntie miss Tiny Dragon?

Me: Of course of course. Auntie miss Tiny Dragon, too. Auntie will talk to Tiny Dragon tomorrow ok?

Tiny Dragon: Tiny Dragon miss auntie. Tiny Dragon say goodbye to auntie now....

Me: Bye bye love! Tiny Dragon sleep well!

I didn't fake even a single bit of this conversation. And I couldn't believe that my nephew has been able to converse with adults as the age of almost 2 years. He's a smart kid, I tell you, he really is a smart kid. I miss him very much. I think I'm gonna organize a little birthday for my nephew, with birthday cake and this time, he'll be able to blow the candles (2 in fact).

*Looking at my clock*

It said 1am. It also means that I have to go to grab some sleep now. I have "Kungfu panda" tomorrow and i don't wanna look like a panda, by the way.

Kungfu Panda - the most expected movie of this summer!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Ok, go to sleep!
