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*
First, we're happy to announce that the team has identified and fixed the issue with the YouTube conduit; you can now find and add videos from YouTube to your library and posts. As always, thanks for your patience!
The other news we have today is about a new addition to the Six Apart family: TypePad Micro, a new free level of TypePad that is streamlined for microblogging. We see a new form of blogging emerging that lives between the quick status updates of Twitter and Facebook and the long-form posts of "classic" blogging; TypePad Micro is designed to meet that need. You can read more about TypePad Micro in Chris Alden's post on the Everything TypePad blog.
A lot of the new capabilities we've added to TypePad this year were actually inspired by some of the best things about Vox: favoriting, member profiles, a dashboard to follow other bloggers, and easy ways to post content from other social media sites. But the things that make Vox different from TypePad are still there: Vox has always been -- and still is -- the best place for "friends and family" blogging, where you're in control over who sees what. TypePad, on the other hand, is built for the blogger who wants, no, craves, attention.
Do you have a passion or interest you want to share with people beyond your Vox neighborhood? If so, we'd love it if you tried out TypePad Micro. Maybe you've always wanted to start that obsessive blog that's just about waffle restaurants. Or want a place to share videos of your favorite band (Jonas Brothers, anyone? Anyone? ...). TypePad Micro's great for those topic-specific blogs. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think.
On the Vox front, our designers are working on some cool new themes (coming soon!). We'd also love to hear your thoughts about where we should take Vox in the coming year. What are the key things you'd like to see for Vox? If you've had a chance to use TypePad this year, what are the features there that we should bring over to Vox? And, if you're thinking big thoughts, how could we connect the Vox and TypePad communities in order to bring together bloggers and their shared passions? Your feedback is really important to us, so please leave a comment here, or shoot me a message.
And again, thanks for your patience as we found and fixed the YouTube bug!

As many of you have noticed, the YouTube Conduit is not working. I am so sorry about this; I know how frustrating it is.
The team is looking into how to get this fixed and I will update you as soon as I hear something. In the meantime, not all is lost... There is a work-around for posting videos.
When you're in the Compose Screen, just click on "embed." Ignore the fact that it says "Widget" before everything because you can definitely use this to embed videos as well. You'll just need to input the embed code from the video, enter a title (if you want) and hit OK.
It might not show up perfectly in your compose screen, but when you hit "Save," your video should appear just the way you wanted it to.
Hopefully this will allow you to keep posting videos while we figure out what's happening on our end.
As always, thanks for your patience.
