Well, I can fight only 21 of them but not kill them. I might be able to get higher number by killing. Haha.

It's just around the corner now

Well, it's been two months and 4 days since I have graduated. But I am still JOBLESS. I have started my job searching during my final semester. Can't quite describe the feeling but kind of sad, disappointed, and regret. Is my stay in US coming to an end soon? Is it really just around the corner now? I have done several phone interviews and heard no good news from none of them yet. I think I really suck at doing phone interviews. Don't really know how to stand out from other candidates. Where do I see myself in 5 years? Man, I know it's asking about my short term goal but, how should I distinct myself? Ran out of ideas........

It's been a while

It has really been a while since my last entry. Laziness might be the only valid reason for abandoning my blog for so long. Brad Lee is planning to eliminate my name from the cousin blog ring and Mia forced me to update my blog, even my dad has long time ago given up on my blog already. haha. But thanks a lot because I would never do it without a push.

December 21st, 2007, my graduation date from Drake University. It wasn't that special after all. Nothing really happened and the day just swept away without any notice. Well maybe something did happen but it's been a while since it happened. Few days after my graduation date, I flew to Austin, TX to have the greatest reunion with my "long lost" cousins and my Da Gu Gu and Uncle Bill. Cousins who involved in the reunion were Kai, Leah, Wei, Min, and myself. My lovely brother was supposed to come but he was too busy...... We really had a lot of fun. Walking around Austin area, taking pictures of our favorite building in Austin (the capitol building), "Bomb"ing each other around, and most important thing, my first Christmas celebration in the States. It was a lot of fun during the gift unwrapping session. It was supposed to occur in the morning, but we end up unwrapping our Christmas gifts at night. The worst part is, I forgot to buy presents for both Kiki (Princess) and Yoshi. Probably that's why they got mad and took each other pictures on my bed. Oh for Christmas gifts, I really need to thank Miss Mia for remembering me while sending bags and wallets over to the states.

I have to mention this 'cause I don't want Kai to be upset. We took some great pictures with the most famous guitarist in the world, STEVE RAY VAUGHN!!!! We were SO excited about it. Wei, Min and I traveled all the way south to Austin just to get a glimpse of his statue. We were so glad that Kai took us there. Haha. Seriously, Kai and Leah had been giving us a lot of attention. They took us around, had fun with us. You guys are great!! My Da Gu Gu cooked a lot of delicious food for us and most importantly, she redeemed her mileage points for my ticket!! I couldn't do much in return but made DouFuHua in return.

That reunion had really meant a lot to me because it was the second, third, and forth time I have met them. Second for Min, third for Wei, and Kai, and the forth time for Leah, if I did not miscount it. Wei and Min have always been lovely but both of them are no longer available. Haha. Wei did not really keep it a secret but for Min, we found out the boy accidentally. Haha. Oops.....
