There's a Malay proverb, Kawan biar seribu, Musuh jangan dicari which means have thousand of friends but never look for foe/enemy. I have my bestfriends, a few really good friends, friendly friends and civil friends. There are also friends which I prefer to call acquaintances and lastly the used-to-be friends.Friendship, just like relationship is a two-way thing. You must both be in it. You can't ignore your friend and yet expect them to always be with/for you when you need them. Friends would laugh and cry with you. Basically if you invest in your friendship, you will get good friends.<br />
<a href="http://kodagames.com/burst21.html"><img alt="burst21" height="65" src="http://www.kodagames.com/burstbanner.jpg" width="445" /></a><br />
As a Muslim, I believe that everything we do/say depends on our 'nawaitu'/'niat' or intention. If our intention is good, insyaallah we will in return get good things too. If you start a friendship with the intention of getting something from that person than most likely that friendship will not last long. And when that happens, you have no one but yourself to blame. Although this of course is not always true since people like that will always put the blame on others instead of looking at themselves. <br />
<br />
Living in SoCal for the last 5years have been great for me (and our marriage). There's a huge Malaysian/Singaporean community here that I don't find myself missing home too much. Of course it's not the same but we immediately become instant family to each other. And I really mean like family, not just friends. We may be different in what we like or how we live our lives but we respect each other. And it helps that we don't have to walk on egg shells with each other! If/when we're not happy with something, we voice it out because that's what friends do. You can't be too sensitive about every damn thing and criticism is not an insult unless it's meant as one. If I insult you, you will know it. I hardly sugar-coat my insults. :P<br />

<br />
<br />
1. There is no war<br />
2. People don't shove their religion into others<br />
3. People actually respect other religion and/or culture<br />
4. There is no poverty nor drought.<br />
5. People live together in peace and harmony.<br />
<br />
How would things be in your perfect world?<br />

Time sure fly faster nowadays. Or maybe because I turned 40 last year so time seemed to go faster for me. But a lot of things happened in 2010. For one, I finally get to go back home to Malaysia after 6 years living in the US. Yup, ever since we got married, we never had the chance to go back so I was really looking forward to seeing my family and celebrating Ramadhan and Eidul Fitr with my family. But things didn't turn out quite the way that I was expecting it. Just because I was excited in seeing my sibling and their families to celebrate Eid together, does not mean the excitement would be mutual. That I will never forget. But I am glad I get to spend time with my mom and seeing my nieces and nephews. It is sad that I don't get to see them grow up except through skype. Unless I get to persuade my little brother Rizal and his wife Fara to come visit with the kids. Hah!<br />

A new year and hopefully a better year too. God's willing, we don't have to wait another 6years before we go back to Malaysia again. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Just a few more weeks before I get on that airplane and fly home to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I have done almost all of the shopping needed for my long list of nieces and nephews. I have learned that it is so much easier to find stuff/clothes for babies and toddlers but not so much for teens and young adults. It doesn't make it any easier that I haven't seen them for so long that I don't know what they like and how they dress.Or if their parents would like their daughters to wear dresses. <br />
<br />
1 of my nieces wants a dress and upon checking with my older brother, he told me the mother might not like the idea. I feel sad that I can't get her what she really wanted. She never asked for anything before and not the type who would ask and ask and ask and be pesky like some other kids. According to my brother, she does wear dresses but not her own. She would sometime wear her aunty's (her mom's sister) dresses. What a dilemma I am in right now!<br />
<a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-5329349-10808937" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.raileurope-japan.com/?var_lang=ja&visitor_country=JP&cmpid=AF020811';return true;" target="_blank"><br />

But I am not going to let that get into my head too much. I haven't been back for almost 6yrs for goodness sake. I just want to be with my family to celebrate Ramadhan and Eid for the first time with my husband next to me. Yup. We have never celebrated Ramadhan/Eid in Malaysia before. That is 1 of the reasons why it took us so long to take the trip. Because I wanted our first trip home to be for celebrating Eid. After almost 6 long years, we finally decided this year is it. And now that we have bought the tickets, it feels even more real. So let the count down begins!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394594987329412440.post-53791897910903577292010-06-23T14:08:00.000-07:002011-06-15T13:45:10.106-07:00Baju Kurung for SaleAs promised, here are the pictures of all 5 pairs of baju kurung available for sale.

<br />
Sorry for the long hibernation. Everyday I plan to update the blogs but laziness always come in-between.<br />
<br />
Just to let everybody knows that we're going back to Malaysia for raya this year (woohoo!!) so I'm going to sell all the baju kurung that my brother sent me last years. They are all brand new and has never been worn. I will post them here soon. Let me know if you all would be interested.<br />
<br />

The cruise was supposed to be 4d/3n from Long Beach, California to Ensenada, Mexico departing at 5.30pm on Friday and back on Monday at 8am. But nobody can do anything when mother nature strikes. We had a severe storm the week approaching to our weekend trip so the ship that was supposed to come in at 8am on Friday, didn't until 4pm. That means our cruise was pushed back. With the late checking-in and all, we finally got onboard around 8pm or 9pm. And boy were we tired! Went straight to the room to freshen up and then dinner. There was nothing much to do since the ship was still docked at LB Port. The club was close for private function ie wedding so we decided to just call it a night. I woke up around midnight and peeked at the window only to see that we're still docking. lol.<br />

</span></div><br />
The next morning we got up pretty early around 6am and decided to find something to eat. Unfortunately breakfast wasn't fully served until 7am so we explored the ship to find out what is where. The ship is huge but not obscenely huge. I guess that is why it's used for short cruises. They do have 'basic' amenities to keep passengers occupied like different restaurants, pubs/clubs, casino, theater (not a movie theater), duty-free shop, gym, spa and kid's activity room. When it comes to food, we both agreed the foods at cafeteria is much better than at the formal dining rooms.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 100%;">The cruise cost us around USD800 for seaview room and food, coffee, juices, water all included. You would have to pay for soda and alcohol. It is cheaper to buy the alcohol coupon online through their website and have it sent to your room. Any drink bought onboard will be charged an additional 15% gratuity and that includes bottled water. Everybody is allowed to bring either soda/water but there is a maximum that you can bring. Check their (Carnival) website for details or you can always call their representatives. We brought a six-pack soda and put it in our luggage so we don't have to carry it with us and a water bottle that we just refill. It is advisable to bring water or an extra water bottle that you can refill since a liter bottle cost around $4.<br />

My advise is, read them! You'd want to know where you want to eat and what since they have Taste of the Nation/World everyday at the cafeteria and the food changes. They would also have the show's time and what's going on on different part of the ship be it karaoke, champagne/art/jewellery auctions or hairy-chest competition! :P<br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 100%;">Because of the delay, we only stopped at the Ensenada, Mexico on Sunday instead of Saturday. Our plan was to go for the atv ride but apparently it was cancelled due to the mud no thanks to the heavy rain prior to our cruise. Going for the excursions is not cheap. The bus ride alone would cost you USD15/pp each way. Since I am very frugal, we just walked around the small tourist town near the port.<br />

</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 100%;">All in all the cruise was worth it and enjoyable. It is very convenient since LB Port is only 15min drive from our place and we can just park our car at the carpark building which cost 15/day.<br />
<br />
The 1 thing that I was not happy about was getting off the ship. There were 2 lanes and Michael was already queuing on 1 lane and I joined him later only to find out at the front that it was for US citizen only. Apparently for cruises, GC holders are supposed to queue at the non-citizen lane unlike at the airport and non of the ground crew said anything. So I had to go all the way back, and it was a long one on the non-citizen lane. Nope, I was not happy at all. Ground crew was not as good as the onboard crew and I did express my dissatisfaction. Only then they started announcing the 2 different lanes.<br />
<br />
So that was our 1st cruise experience. Should anybody ask if I would recommend Carnival Cruise, I would definitely say yes!<br />

The longing for New Moon grew bigger and bigger especially after I got myself all 4 books of the Twilight saga. Yesterday, Saturday Nov 21 at 10.30am, the wait was finally over. At least for me!<br /><br />Let me explain first why I am writing what I am writing. I fell in love with twilight saga the moment I watched the trailer for Twilight the movie on tv. At that time, I have never even heard of the books but somehow the scene of Edward confronting Bella in the woods about him being a vampire just tug my heart. I think my heart might have even skipped a beat or two!<br /><br />Now for New Moon. Director Chris Weitz were lucky to have been chosen to direct the movie with such big budget and an already well known movie with HUGE followers. He doesn't have to be afraid of a flopped movie. Twi-hards are not going to let that happen. No matter how hollow the movie is.<br /><br />So on my part. I am not loving the movie ... yet! As awesome as the clothes everyone wore, the movie IMO lack the 1 thing that is the essence of the twilight saga that is LOVE. I cried my eyes bucket when I read the book. All 3 times of it especially when Edward decided that leaving Bella is the best way in making sure she is safe and then later when Charlie told Alice what happened to Bella during their absence. When they showed the part in the woods, I waited and waited and then .... nothing. I personally feel that the scene was made in a hurry. Well, actually I feel the whole movie was made in a hurry and somehow Chris Weitz (CW) forgot to add emotions in the movie.<br /><br />There are a few things in the movie that made me cringe.<br /><br />1) is of course the lack of emotions. CW practically ignored facial expressions. Watch for it when you go see the movie especially between Edward/Bella and Jacob/Bella. The other person's expression just doesn't seem to connect and it was so frustrating.<br /><br />2) is when they are with the Volturi and Alice showed Aro the future of Bella as vampire. Bella and Edward running in the woods. Boy! Was it cheesy or what??? Ewww.<br /><br />3) is the fact that a lot of the important scripts are taken straight out of New Moon's book word-for-word. It made me feel that somehow Melissa Rosernberg the scriptwriter either hates CW or she was told to write it differently and take the wordings out of the book so it would help director CW whom I doubt read the book before he directed it.<br /><br />4) almost forgot about the part of Bella in the woods after Edward left her. We are supposed to feel her pain but CW's directing with a spinning camera made me sick. Literally.<br /><br />The only reason I understood the movie is because I have read the book 3 times. It helps in filling up the emptiness of the movie. The only reason I cried a little bit when watching it is because I know what happened. If I had watched the movie without reading the book, I seriously doubt I would get the feelings, the emotions, the heart-wrenching, the fear and everything else that (should)come with the movie.<br /><br />Saying all that, will I buy the dvd and watch it again? Hell yeah! What choice do I have being a twilight fan but, have the whole collection of the books and dvds? Who knows maybe the movie is better the second or third time I watch it. But 1 thing for sure, it would be very interesting if Catherine Hardwicke were to make a different version of New Moon movie. Maybe I would feel more connected?<br /><br />If you are a twihard but haven't watch New Moon yet, do go see it for yourself but really try not to think so much about the book. Just go with the flow and let's hope that Eclipse would be better.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394594987329412440.post-84528775763948300342009-08-19T16:12:00.001-07:002011-06-19T08:27:08.984-07:00Baju Kurung For Sale - SOLDAfter 2 years of not having new baju kurung, this year I got 4 pairs thanks to my dear friends who came to visit me last month.

These parks are huge that even 1 day each is not enough for you to cover them. Not to mention the queueing and waiting that you have to do for each ride/show. Even on school day you have to queue what more on school holidays or long weekend. When we went to Disneyland Park it was a long 3-day weekend and it was rather hot so the park was really packed. Since our tickets are the 2-day park hopper (1 park each day) which cost us around 70/pp we get to go to both parks within 30 days of first use of ticket.<br />

When we went to Disney's California Adventure Park, it was a Saturday and we went earlier than before but still earlier than the park's opening time which is 10am (if im not mistaken). Apparently Disneyland opens earlier (8am) than Adventure Park. But good thing is we get to do the ride that I have wanted to do which is the Grizzly River Run. You can see the picture of us on the ride before we put the camera away since we do get wet! I hope you will enjoy the pictures and maybe feel that you were 'there' with us.<br />

Yes I am very afraid of height. I knew I was going to be very scared once I started 'flying' but the fool that I am, I thought I would be ok and I was also feeling sorry for Michael who would not go on any ride without me. So off we went into the rocket and then it starts flying and moving away from the platform. I could see the ground and started ventilating. My muscles jammed and I gripped the security bar tightly because I was afraid of getting thrown off. Michael on the other hand was snapping away and keep asking me to open my eyes. *roll eyes*<br />

Sorry it took me a long time before I give any update.<br /><br />After writing that post, I searched and searched for any information and then I found a forum where in 1 of their topics is about people with Kaiser. From there I met a coupe of ladies who helped me and gave me more information that I have ever had from Kaiser itself. That is how sucky Kaiser's system is. 1 of the ladies through her contacts, hooked me up with another hospital instead of Anaheim branch that I have been using (trying to use!) all these while.<br /><br />I called the number and was rather frustrated that it went to voicemail. Iv been through that before and I said to myself, not again. Then a call came in and it was a nurse from that branch that I just called. She said they have actually been trying to return my call but somehow they encountered some problem which I dont remember what it was anymore. I was given another set of number and a couple of names that I should speak to when I call. So I called the number and spoke to another nurse who did not even ask for a referral nor if either one of us smoke. She just scheduled us for an infertility class which may sound weird to you (and me!) but it is part of Kaiser's weird regulation that you have to go through if you're trying to get pregnant. So, we now have an appointment for early next month. I can't thank the ladies enough for their help.<br /><br />Thank you again to everybody for being there for me. I hope that would be my last heartache and headache with Kaiser. To all who is trying to get pregnant, if you're with Kaiser California, DO NOT go to Anaheim branch. Their people suck! And as for my doctor, Im disappointed that instead of being on my side and help me, all that she said to me was, "Im sorry for the misunderstanding and good luck". Misunderstanding? Are you on drugs doctor?<br /><!-- nuffnang --><br /><script type="text/javascript"> <br />nuffnang_bid = "8889f496fa84152233a0c797dd329654";<br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://synad2.nuffnang.com.my/j.js"></script><br /><!-- nuffnang--><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394594987329412440.post-23327208972361054152009-05-15T14:39:00.000-07:002009-05-15T15:55:20.185-07:00Kaiser Still Sucks Big TimeRemember my earlier post <a href="http://princessjournals.blogspot.com/2007/07/kaiser-sucks.html" target="_blank">here</a> on how bad Kaiser's service is? Well, here I am, 2 effing years later and still going through this shit.<br /><br />If you are new here, please do check my earlier post first to get the 'feel' of the situation. You know? Of how fuckingtastic the health services in the US is in general and Kaiser's services in particular?<br /><br />Firstly, let me tell you that all the doctors that I have seen at Kaiser are pretty good. I have nothing against them. But they are 'just' doctors there. They see you once you get the appointment. They are not part of the scheduling system. The system is created so that you almost always talk to a different people. Send and reply to an email 5 times, you will be replied by 5 different people.<br /><br />Anyways, I went to get my papsmear done on Tue and also to get the referral for infertility treatment. When asked by my family doctor, I admitted that Michael is a smoker. I was told to call the member service (1-888 number) to make and appointment. Called and was given a 'direct number' that I have to call for the said appointment which I did. Actually I have been calling that number for god-knows how many times prior to that and have left numerous messages. Not one call was answered and not one message returned. My call that day was no different. No one answered so I left a voicemail leaving all my contact details and such.<br /><br />That evening I called the member services (1-888 number) again and that was when I found out that my referral has been cancelled by my doctor. Imagine my shock! <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Stress Level 6</span>. So I immediately emailed my doctor to find out what is going on. It was around 3pm then so I didn't get any reply until the next morning. Guess what she said? My referral was cancelled by the Infertility Department, you know the one who didn't answer nor return any of my calls. And the reason given to my doctor was that Michael is a smoker. Basically, they are saying (through my doctor) that since Michael is a smoker, they are denying me a treatment! <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Stress Level 10</span>! The best part is, I found out from another Kaiser member that she and her husband were smokers but they went through their treatment with no problem. Can I say, I smell <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">DISCRIMINATION</span> here? Yes my friends, <span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Kaiser Permenante is discriminating us</span>.<br /><br />But my nightmare is not over yet. Just now I called member service again to make an appointment for Michael to do his sperm count. Before that let me get this straight.<br /><br />1. I am a patient = We are paying monthly to Kaiser even if we dont see them and still paying when we do see the doctor.<br />2. Member service = works with Kaiser therefore knows what to do. (shouldn't they?)<br /><br />So I told the bitchy didn't-get-serviced-last-night member service that I want to schedule an appointment for Michael to do sperm count. Then she told me that ok she has put in the request for the test and the doctor will decide if Michael needs to see a doctor or can just take the test (or something to that effect). Then I said, so he doesn't need an appointment to do the sperm count? The bitch then flipped on me telling me that I didn't ask for an appointment and that if I need an appointment she can schedule it now in a tone that deserved a bitch-slap. Like ..... WHAT. THE. FUCK?????<br /><br />At that point my blood is already boiling but I keep reminding myself that in the US you can't curse or scream or maki them eventhough they are fucking rude and/or fucking stupid. (That is why we have fucking stupid people like her still earning thousand of dollars using high premium that people like us are paying monthly) I took a (very)deep breath and slowly said to her, "You just told me that you have put in the request for my husband and that the doctor will decide if he needs to see a doctor or can take the test without seeing one. Why are you asking me if I need an appointment?". Still with a patronising and rude tone, she said that I asked for a test not an appointment. To which I repeated what I said earlier and yet she continued on and on about a test and an appointment. I have no freaking idea what she was talking about. Does any of you understand what she was talking about? <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Stress Level ~</span><br /><br />If Michael only needs to do a test without seeing a doctor, doesn't that mean that he needs an appointment date for that? Is making an appointment for a test is not an 'appointment'? Don't be rude to me because I have no fucking idea about the terminology and/or jargons that you are using for each and every procedures or if I am using the 'wrong' word for the 'wrong' procedures. By the way, the call was made today around 2.30pm pacific time.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394594987329412440.post-19748371938137324272009-04-29T16:08:00.001-07:002009-04-29T16:19:48.517-07:00My New Toy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggt1R7ueCd5IMuz8RGpkn96na-qm2zl8g4qNz4V4mAht1TJXyp0Dg_H_fyMQiXybMmLFK974GuoSgqDtHGMa5WVPSs5Gzp1-6jiTYCc6oHcD_CnCqkQTxEHeIvTE8PkfT1WrEfndEWA0PQ/s1600-h/My-Bike.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 425px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggt1R7ueCd5IMuz8RGpkn96na-qm2zl8g4qNz4V4mAht1TJXyp0Dg_H_fyMQiXybMmLFK974GuoSgqDtHGMa5WVPSs5Gzp1-6jiTYCc6oHcD_CnCqkQTxEHeIvTE8PkfT1WrEfndEWA0PQ/s400/My-Bike.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330254393266912018" border="0" /></a>So here is my new toy.

I have been looking for either pink or purple bike but the pink ones are either for children or beach cruiser type which I find rather uncomfortable to ride. Of course it didn't come with the basket.

Guess how many times I have been on it? Twice! lol. I know. I am just so bad. It's not like I don't like riding but sometimes the weather is either too cold or too hot. Also somehow my butt hurts sitting n the damn seat. I even bought a seat cover and another seat but neither helps so I had to return the other seat.<br /><!-- nuffnang --><br /><script type="text/javascript"> <br />nuffnang_bid = "8889f496fa84152233a0c797dd329654";<br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://synad2.nuffnang.com.my/j.js"></script><br /><!-- nuffnang--><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394594987329412440.post-78885074745362609392009-04-21T10:37:00.001-07:002009-04-21T10:54:46.275-07:00Kite Flying (Attempt)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEow2VHssuLwqYQXyZwyggLN5l-mhRIULF3nQL1i70WNL2lISwghxPAHqttf9xzSsLFDfvSzItu6mpQBKaechccgfcXNOWb_GujmGxHlWZFJ4injpJCIVz6JcIL_cAb8JriIgdQUaK93wL/s1600-h/baby-kite.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 331px; height: 441px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEow2VHssuLwqYQXyZwyggLN5l-mhRIULF3nQL1i70WNL2lISwghxPAHqttf9xzSsLFDfvSzItu6mpQBKaechccgfcXNOWb_GujmGxHlWZFJ4injpJCIVz6JcIL_cAb8JriIgdQUaK93wL/s400/baby-kite.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327200678411457970" border="0" /></a>We (SoCal) are experiencing 4-days heat wave at the moment. It is like really really hot. Since Saturday we have been getting high 90F temperatures and some places even got 100F. Today is supposed to be the last day of summer-in-spring weather before it goes back to normal temperatures of low to middle 60F. Can't wait since I have been donning kain batik (batik sarong) or pareo at home. My aunt would find that very funny since I don't normally wear kain batik. Shorts would be my choice of clothing when the weather is hot but at this new apartment, we don't have any a/c and I find shorts to be not cooling enough.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDvu6uvIQMUI53wshVZXoIF5txJNoFROwx5_DdAM7YIgMie8Fi_W5-C2AizSY7zr6QbL9o_FtzTb_NtBK8AyRumPCMdai2dZ6jJcCJuXpJFZqiyw1e9_hDiJbDcm8befjUPV_P9CvC1rEM/s1600-h/baby-kite1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 427px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDvu6uvIQMUI53wshVZXoIF5txJNoFROwx5_DdAM7YIgMie8Fi_W5-C2AizSY7zr6QbL9o_FtzTb_NtBK8AyRumPCMdai2dZ6jJcCJuXpJFZqiyw1e9_hDiJbDcm8befjUPV_P9CvC1rEM/s400/baby-kite1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327200618796021762" border="0" /></a>Anyways, these pictures were taken 2 weekends ago when the weather was in mid 60F and rather windy. Michael decided that he wants to have a kite and bought a 3-d kite in the shape of aeroplane as you can see from the pictures. At first we just went to the park next to our apartment but after a few attempts, we realised that it is not windy enough so we decided to go down to the beach which would guarantee a continuos wind.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGPoOQpmBnVOJ8Z-M4m_BV2DT44K4xq83dyXvGkHdCwscRCQEOJB-f7TA_I11KOcpUXJ7wNkNK9C1QMVWuiXbawW-4Qt_0z1IyDj_zbFWpUFbLfDSv1uCoXWzwKPw5jLkVgTqC06It2PmF/s1600-h/Baby-kite2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 433px; height: 324px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGPoOQpmBnVOJ8Z-M4m_BV2DT44K4xq83dyXvGkHdCwscRCQEOJB-f7TA_I11KOcpUXJ7wNkNK9C1QMVWuiXbawW-4Qt_0z1IyDj_zbFWpUFbLfDSv1uCoXWzwKPw5jLkVgTqC06It2PmF/s400/Baby-kite2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327200561574508130" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMfvwuzhpKVwTpevrxFl2YUb8DZVlYwgUVPPT3hj7Xsi_uhKHGCW9YZvU2f54KxHMA_gBoi_ZtP-pTAvYxK9NE3VvmWGcooQwklvBM7IoKWoCRT4c0ZtdWdHe25je9SM5HrCtn2y8Mr6sN/s1600-h/baby-kite3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 433px; height: 325px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMfvwuzhpKVwTpevrxFl2YUb8DZVlYwgUVPPT3hj7Xsi_uhKHGCW9YZvU2f54KxHMA_gBoi_ZtP-pTAvYxK9NE3VvmWGcooQwklvBM7IoKWoCRT4c0ZtdWdHe25je9SM5HrCtn2y8Mr6sN/s400/baby-kite3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327200505547027634" border="0" /></a>While he was busy trying to get the kite up and flying, I got bored and decided to just hang out near the water. It was too windy and too cold to even walk in the water. So I scrapped my plan of wetting my feet. Since I was the one holding the camera, of course I was not in any of the pictures but I was wearing a winter jacket!<br /><br />Enjoy the pictures. Next time I will try to take the picture of my new bicycle when we are at the beach and I will take some pictures of the campers.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7e7YJ3EXIuUwuZM9tbj3lOAVmMv4piVxDOT_Yw7YVfXQNbQlQR6-efPmOAY-u6jNQacq02Ho_9q0FDEXCwzsGcWAuqZS2RwYkq7WxY6fN3vQaqgXzyx0lPhzEWybTEBC8kSl4MjOGSNE_/s1600-h/Bolsa-Chica-beach.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 433px; height: 323px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7e7YJ3EXIuUwuZM9tbj3lOAVmMv4piVxDOT_Yw7YVfXQNbQlQR6-efPmOAY-u6jNQacq02Ho_9q0FDEXCwzsGcWAuqZS2RwYkq7WxY6fN3vQaqgXzyx0lPhzEWybTEBC8kSl4MjOGSNE_/s400/Bolsa-Chica-beach.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327200368512599122" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi2wf5EOpE9fb7LyRLK8FXEOwywit_ogcpX_7Mg81N5GLxdvw4YEuCKnwYJLspOo5L8rbg7fllIFCZW_nOS1oeOozxTrCH8yHPKq1i1g3nQi09F_EKfO-YYdFZRi0gNspiQunaWCpy4HiX/s1600-h/bolsa-chica-beach1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 329px; height: 439px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi2wf5EOpE9fb7LyRLK8FXEOwywit_ogcpX_7Mg81N5GLxdvw4YEuCKnwYJLspOo5L8rbg7fllIFCZW_nOS1oeOozxTrCH8yHPKq1i1g3nQi09F_EKfO-YYdFZRi0gNspiQunaWCpy4HiX/s400/bolsa-chica-beach1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327200301026986594" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394594987329412440.post-18098368181208551502009-04-18T10:23:00.000-07:002009-04-18T11:11:19.718-07:00High Speed Rail System<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE5SaxRNF8yqNocIlH8iAOrRh3wtp7Wc_WQaCHOalVw8ObQdQQ20TjR06fgmoKdxrssfSOrbzvc27MwV0xEe7C3jWPxKhmEvvXFm4YHsh7EeMjZk9iFKYLYgEJ3Twc544piY9wFmq1llFI/s1600-h/highspeedrail.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 321px; height: 321px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE5SaxRNF8yqNocIlH8iAOrRh3wtp7Wc_WQaCHOalVw8ObQdQQ20TjR06fgmoKdxrssfSOrbzvc27MwV0xEe7C3jWPxKhmEvvXFm4YHsh7EeMjZk9iFKYLYgEJ3Twc544piY9wFmq1llFI/s400/highspeedrail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326083657438293010" border="0" /></a><br />I dont know about you but to me it seems like the biggest news now (besides Susan Boyle) is the high speed train eversince President Obama mentioned <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/16/obama-highspeed-rail-syst_n_187684.html" target="_blank">it</a> on Thursday. Finally something to be excited about. There's enough bad/sad news already nowadays and everybody is dying for some positive news. Any positive news.<br /><br />I totally agree that US needs a good train system especially the high speed train to connect from 1 state to another state. I have always been baffled as to why didn't US already have bullet train. The country is huge. People are so used to driving cross country or just driving that it is very common for people to have 100k+ miles on their odometer within 5 years of owning the car. Something that I am not used to until I moved here and it is crazy.<br /><br />High speed train would help ease the traffic and air traffic congestion. Not to mention reducing the time taken to get from 1 point to another. Imagine if you can travel comfortably from California to New York without having to go to the airport 2hrs prior to your flying scheduled time or queueing for check in or going through the security and not able to bring anything liquid more than 100ml. You would even have a bigger seat than the economy class. Ain't that sweet? It is if only California-New York is in the plan which is not as you can see <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/16/obama-highspeed-rail-syst_n_187684.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Oh well! Maybe next time somewhere in the future there would be a bullet train connecting California with New York.<br /><br />But for a start, I seriously think they should at least add LA - Vegas into their plan. No more traveling on the always-crazily-congested-I 15 freeway for 7hrs to go to Vegas since once you're in Vegas, you don't really need a car. Public transportation in Vegas is good and efficient. They even have monorail which is cool. So I am rather disappointed that LA - Vegas too was not in the plan.

One section shocked me and I just could not believe my eyes and/or ears. It is unbelievable, despicable and disgusting.<br /><br />The story is about a couple living in California. They have a daughter. Both worked in sales. The husband loses his job sometime last year and has not been able to find another since so but in the meantime he is the Mr.Mom. He does all the housework, cook, clean, laundry and the whole nine yard that a typical full-time wife/mother would do. The wife is still working. Sounds normal right? It is if she treats him with respect. Not in this case though. She admitted (to the whole nation via GMA!) that ever since her husband loses his work and become Mr.Mom, she has lost a lot of respect for him and keep on bitching about how she wants to be a mother first!<br /><br />Can you imagine if the situation is reversed? This woman and the family still has a house (it looks big and nice!) and 2 nice cars. A lot of people here in California has lost their job AND home. She should be thankful that at least the husband is taking over her role as the wife and mother to their only child while looking for a job. It is not like he just sits at home doing nothing and she has to do the houseworks when she comes back from work. Looking at her face, she doesn't even look guilty or feels that she is wrong. I really feel like I want to bitch-slap that bitch.<br /><br />Please go read and watch the news <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=7088747&page=1" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br /><!-- nuffnang --><br /><script type="text/javascript"> <br />nuffnang_bid = "8889f496fa84152233a0c797dd329654";<br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://synad2.nuffnang.com.my/j.js"></script><br /><!-- nuffnang--><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394594987329412440.post-45916970879453370522009-03-03T11:28:00.001-08:002009-03-03T11:49:17.276-08:00Saturday at the Beach<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvsfIyiv73ruwsbZ9emrkkZIJ12-8n-s4nqUs2pDh_jiVtKzDJA7OILRLujHCI1XI8qir-QvH14xYqwwkPMyvfj6HGWcp-c42wNrtruQZ036illxfVZDCpuMDjwa78rmS8TgQXOO4I4vM4/s1600-h/beachwalking2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 350px; height: 466px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvsfIyiv73ruwsbZ9emrkkZIJ12-8n-s4nqUs2pDh_jiVtKzDJA7OILRLujHCI1XI8qir-QvH14xYqwwkPMyvfj6HGWcp-c42wNrtruQZ036illxfVZDCpuMDjwa78rmS8TgQXOO4I4vM4/s400/beachwalking2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309046567038931122" border="0" /></a>It has been a long time, a very long time since I walk or jog or run.

The next public holiday will be in late May! Sucks huh? And to make this last long weekend/holiday before May even more fun, it is going to be cold and wet. We have been getting on and off nice days for the whole winter and a few storms too. This is hopefully the last storm for this winter. Of course I am thankful that we are not getting -20F or -50F but you know how much I 'love' too cold or too hot weather. And those rain. Sigh .... let me just say that if I were to get sick, it will be during rainy season.<br /></div><br />****************************************************************<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Tomorrow is a Valentine's Day. We don't really celebrate it but nevertheless would still wish each other on that day. I 'forbade' him from buying me flowers during this time of the year. I told him that he can buy me flowers (not that he buys me flowers too often. Men! :P) anytime of the 51 weeks in the year for half or 1/3 of the price that he would have to fork out during this 1 week period so why bother. Me stingy? Nah. Frugal? You betcha! So tomorrow, what we are going to do is have a poker day/night with some friends and neighbours. His friends of course have to ask him 10x if he knows what day it is when he invited them. They don't want him to get into trouble. I guess that is my Valentine 'gift' for my Baby. *wink*<br /><br />Happy Valentine's Day my friends and have a great weekend!<br /><br /><!-- nuffnang --><br /><script type="text/javascript"> <br />nuffnang_bid = "8889f496fa84152233a0c797dd329654";<br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://synad2.nuffnang.com.my/j.js"></script><br /><!-- nuffnang--><br /> <br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com18
