My dear friend, I wish you get well soon. Even the memory lost make you can’t remember me but that doesn’t matter. You will never lose me and I’ve got my whole life to tell you all about us.
Finally got my camera back from my dad, whom I let him borrow my camera to for his Asia trip. Ever since then 99.9% of my pictures have been of food! So are you ready to get hungry? Food overload ahead!
Went to my favorite sushi joint. Surprisingly not crowded that night. Only the second time ever did we not have to wait for our favorite sushi chef. He made us all kinds of goodies!
My sister and I treated my dad to Capital Seafood for his birthday. We ordered a fixed dinner set plus Peking duck. The waiter was sort of shocked with all the food we ordered but we assured him we wanted it all. Yum! Such good food!
I can always count on my sister to go on food adventures with me. Yum was craving so good BBQ and what better place than all you can eat.

“Awkward moments define me. I’d sleep all day if I could. I lack the capability to keep my mouth shut. Yeah, everyone has bad days, but I seem to have more than my fair share. If you don’t like me, don’t act like you do. I swear, it offends me less. I’ve made mistakes and I’ve let people take advantage of me and I’ve accepted way less than I deserve. But, I’ve learned from my bad choices and even though there are some things I can never get back, and people who will never be sorry, I’ll know better next time and I won’t settle for anything less than I deserve.”
Actually, I was about to name my article Sleepless in Seattle --thought it was pretty cool. But well, I wasn't really sleepless. I did manage to sleep well the night in Seattle and woke up pretty early in the morning. So yeah, the title needs to change.
Although I didn’t spend time in Seattle much but Seattle was the city I first arrived and it would most likely I spent 2 days and 2 nights there. Anyway Seattle was cool city.
We arrived in Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in the afternoon. We spent an hour at the immigration because of the long queue and processes.
We took a charter bus from the Gate00 according to Carla our colleague’s advice. It was very good and cheap, USD18 round trip. We were there only 2 persons on the bus—that makes we feel so special! *lol*
Seattle was so beautiful city in my thought. I like it there. But it was rainy day—no wonders why this city has been nicknamed “The City of Rain”. That’s the reason why I didn’t have a chance to tour around the city that much. We stayed at the Sheraton hotel, and we spent a couple of hour exploring the city a bit. We went to the shop around there and went back to the hotel.
The next morning, we spent all day meeting at Sheraton and we need to fly to Portland.
The way back from Portland, we need to stop by say hello to Seattle again and we stayed overnight there at Extended Hotel. The hotel is nearby the airport because we need to catch the early morning flight 6:00AM to go to San Francisco.
I was luckily to have a chance tour around Seattle and thanks to Thomas (My personal tour guide). He tooks me everywhere I want to go. J We had a chance to say hello to the original Starbucks!—now I understand why people sleepless in Seattle. Well, and just so you know Seattle is a birthplace of Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee. But I didn’t’ see them anywhere so…
We also went to the mall in Seattle and walk around and around the farmers market. It was cold and windy; we found Italian coffee shop to sat down and drink hot chocolate.
We had dinner with Scott at the place near the market. One of the great benefits of travelling is that you got a chance to try on local foods which you hardly found anywhere.
So Seattle in my thought, I think it is a special city. I hope I can have more chance to explore next time around.
I finally came home after the trip to the U.S. Even I’m not in shape because of jet lag but I am fine.
I woke up this morning 4:00am since I went to bed 06:35pm. I drove my car back home after 5:45am. I arrived home after 6:30am and I found a gift box with my name on it. Immediately I opened it. It was Colin’s mum. In side there was a cute photo of Colin when he is a little boy playing something on the table. I reached inside the box there was cute card and lovely diary. I really love his picture when he was just a cute little boy and I just know he has blond hair. *lol* I looked at it thousands times already today. This is going to be my favorite picture ever! You really brightens up my day!
I love the sentence that says “If there is so much love you will find a way….”
Thank you Mayke, I’m so touched and I couldn’t stop smiling. You don’t know what that mean to me. Now my heart Is full of thankfulness. I hope you read my blog and I hope you don’t mind I post this beautiful things. :)
I know how hard to keep up our relationship to be a good one when we have difference time zone. We are struggling to be together. I can’t always be positive and I can’t pretend that I have a healthy relationship. There were so many times that I feel lonely. There were many times that I gave up when we misunderstood. I missed him a lot and miss the day we were together. It’s uneasy for me to ignore those feelings. So I’m grateful for every single thing in single moment that you made for us. Your ‘love’ and ‘support’ mean a lot to me.
So thank you, thank you and thank you. *hugs*
And he loves me so. Takes me where you never took me, although you tried to. His eyes they read so true. So different from the way it was with you...
I dont dwell on my past half as much as I use to, in fact a lot of my past is a blur. But certain songs still bring up certain people, certain days, certain feelings. And sometimes, its a refreshing blast of memories. Like on a cold November night like this one.
In every life there will be one great love and one unforgettable heart break.
November was never a good month for me, majority of my break ups happen in November. My "unforgettable heart break" happened in November. I can deny you all I want, but no one hurt me as much as you did. And I cant figure out why, besides that I was young and stupid. You were a pretty decent boyfriend, a push over but decent. But everyone needs to feel the pain you gave me, its a big part of who made me who I am today. And I happen to like who I am today.
Moving on... I'm getting married. Wow. Me. Getting married. Never would had thought. Sure we've been together for almost six years (wow, six years, really?) but I just never really saw us getting married. I'm a lot like Ben Affleck in "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days". I figure we're happy, why ruin it by getting married. And sure, I still think that. But a small itty bitty part of me is actually kinda excited. Shh, dont tell Martin I said that. I always thought that once you get married, or engaged, the past kinda just... disappears. You dont think of the past or what-could-had-been or why-did-that-end. Why I thought that is beyond me.
I guess I'm lucky. I'm lucky because my fiance is my best of all best friends. Literally. We talk about my exes, we talk about his exes, we try to figure out why our past relationships failed. We have real conversations about things like that. He knows how I feel about all of my exes, he knows the ones I wish I was still friends with or the ones hurt me. And he does what I always wished someone would do with that information. He uses to know who I am and how I am. Not against me, but as a better understanding of how I react to things. I'm lucky because in the last six years, he was able to figure who I had a crush on. At work, at school, to him it was so obvious. And he'd pick on me, not in a jealous boyfriend way but in a ooh-I'm-telling-him-you-like-him way. And sometimes between us, its just so easy to forget we're together. Because the majority of the time, we dont feel like that. We feel like two best friends hanging out.
Words can not express how lucky and blessed and happy I am to have him. To have someone who's just like me. Who sacrifices just to see a smile on their face. To spoil me with hugs and kisses and my favorite food "just because". Who accepts every part of me, and who is completely in love with the tomboy side of me. Someone who'll watch me put on lipstick, wipe it off with his finger, kiss me and whisper "you dont need it". Someone who makes me feel so damn alive. He wont ask why I'm crying if I dont feel like telling him but he'll hug the hell out of me until I'm spent, tuck me in bed and kiss me on the forehead and tell me to sleep it off.
I think back to exes and memories and the crazy fucked up crap you go through with them in high school and relationships that ended far too soon. And the boys I miss. And I look at him and I'm glad those relationship ended. I'm glad for all the fucked up crazy shit I went through. I'm glad I got kicked out school. I'm glad I had to repeat senior year. I'm so glad. I'm so glad to be here, with him. With this ring on my finger. With that ring on his.
I love you. I love you a million times. In a million different lifetimes. I've always loved you. I will always love you. My dope friend. My best friend. My babemerding. A million thank yous. For just being you <3.
