GONG XI GONG XI

Just got back from my Hong Kong and San Francisco trip. Have been resting for two days in Singapore. Facts are familiar to me; I am heading to Moscow and Houston the day after tomorrow. My packing is now in progress. The coldest winter months at Moscow fall between November and mid-April. The temperature at Moscow is still minus degree for its winter. In order to protect myself against the raging cold temperature, I bought a pair of winter boots from Universal Traveler yesterday. Fortunately, I’d got my sizes for a pair of them. All the boots I used to have would have just stayed pretty as they have no use for keeping me warm enough! Packing and unpacking for a winter trip is not as easy as a summer trip. The practical skills needed in both. My patience towards them is inexhaustible! (Bravo!!!)

My San Francisco trip was fun. My very last trip before this was long time ago. I had my appetizing crabs at Fisherman's Wharf, this place does have a very savory reputation for its crabs! And not to miss out, Cheese Cake Factory for its cheese cakes, definitely! I did quite a lot of shopping as well for this trip. (Just can't help... You know...)

believe it or not, i finished the whole portion myself eventually

My trip at Hong Kong was delightful: friends, food and shopping! My Hong Kong trip is always fun with Miaw Miaw, and this time with her family too! Italian-American cuisine at Amaroni's Little Italy to Dim Sum at 'Mu Dan' with my traveling companions to New Year lunch at Miaw's place, a delectable meal at 'Tang Cao' with Jason till my favourite mango desserts, and my shopping shopping and shopping… Looking at my “war trophies”, wow… I am just too fortunate to have them all! It proved worthwhile to make the trip!

Better Feb

For the past few weeks, I was very busy with my heavy schedule, especially last Jan. For a better Feb, it was a little different as I am given a very blessed schedule that I could make it a flexible one easily. So, I have no grounds for complaints yet I’m enjoying it.

Before I made up my mind, I just wanted to do something fun this month. Coming 14^th is not only Valentine’s Day, also first day of the Chinese New Year. My CNY celebrations for the past few years weren’t with my family. This is called enormous sacrifice that I have to make for this job. In the end, I just have to ask myself weather it’s certainly worth it. ( I promised to make it worth my while…)

I’ve changed my flight from South Korea – Seoul to Hong Kong. I don’t have any idea if Koreans do celebrate CNY as well. In order to play it safe, I’d rather fly to Hong Kong. Although, I will be still on duty, 8 days: SIN-HKG-SFO-HKG-SIN, I just can’t wait to be there to meet Miaw Miaw, my best ‘Hong-Kie-pal’! I believe I will share more after the entire trip. Apparently, it will be an exciting and a memorable one on the day I reach Hong Kong from San Francisco!

One more thing, wherever I am, packing and unpacking are my routine procedure. And, I have to proceed now. bye!
