Went to Barnes and Noble after work and got some magazines. I've been falling in love reading the New Yorker. I just can't put it down. I have already subscribed to it. Hope the subscription will start soon.
Anyway, I bought a grande latte and a coffee cake at the Starbucks inside the bookstore. It happened that the coffee cake is a corner piece. Then I remember whenever I went 飲茶 with my family, if we were ordering 馬拉糕, my mom would insist on getting the piece at the corner or at the edge. I still don't quite understand why to this day. Maybe I'll ask my mom next time when I talk to her.
X'mas party tomorrow at work. Half day of work. Yeah!
Merry Christmas to everyone!
PS I wanted to take pictures of my apartment and around town. But my colleague borrowed my digital camera for a trip to his parents'. Maybe I should dug out my film camera instead. Haven't used that in ages.

Thoughts, random thoughts mostly. I guess it's a good idea that I write them down. Just in case...

You mom eats 馬拉糕 like me and my mom too! The 'skin' (surface layer) tastes the best out of the entire 馬拉糕, and the corner or edge has more of the 'skin'. I can't tell you what makes me like it, but I just like the skin more :)
I wonder if your mom has the same reason as me.
Really? I guess you are right... the skin does taste better. I haven't had 馬拉糕 in a while.
Come to Toronto! Lots of 馬拉糕 here. (though I don't think I have seen much of the traditional block kind.)
You have any plans for x'mas?
Nope. No plan for X'mas. Well... May go shopping with some friends up in Chicago Monday. But other than that, I am going to spend X'mas by myself. Sob sob. :`(
Will go skiing New Year's Eve. Hope that'll be fun.
Oh, can't really leave the US for now. My visa is expired so it's dangerous to go...
Anyway, would love to visit Toronto. I've only been there once a long long time ago.
I would want a peaceful and quiet christmas too.. (Gosh. I am so anti social.) I think I am those type of people who need some time alone to reflect upon myself at the end of the year, just to see how bad or good I have been.
Well, do come up to visit after you sort out your visa. (I almost thought you have been in US most of your life.)
I agree... Sometimes it's nice to be alone. Peaceful and quite. Time to reflect (and regret).
I can go to canada without a problem but coming back to the US... hmm... I dunno. Actually, I can get a letter from Purdue (since I still have a F-1 visa) which permits me to go to Canada if I would stay there for less than 30 days. I did that over the summer when I did research at Lakehead University, Thunderbay, Ontario.
I thought your company would handle all those paper works for you. But not such good of an idea to be stranded in Canada. Better get all the visa sorted out first.
My company is small. So I probably have to handle most of the paperwork myself, including applying for a H-1B visa in the coming year. Good and bad. But I do have a lot of flexibility this way, as long as my boss is willing to sign off any thing... :)
