Thanksgiving Day

Friday, November 27, 2009
It's thanksgiving day, a public holiday here in the States. Everyone has left the country. Miguel has left to Mexico to visit his family, Eduardo and Ezeqiuel have left to Argentina. Kham, Mike, and Meltse have left to Altanta. So I am the only NGA staff in Houston. Again, loneliness is back! Heh!

I decided to go dating with my new affair Miss Subaru Legacy. This is the first time we go dating in the downtown haha! You see, I love her so much! Haha!

My new affair

Nice ass babe

She is a high maintenance affair, she eats a lot! Consuming a lots of fuel, phew! Although the company is going to pay for the fuel but I have to manage the expenses well too.

I went to downtown to see if there is any nice place to hangout. Apparently there isn't any. As usual, during weekend and public holiday the downtown is a dead city. It is almost the same in all the cities I had visited, except San Antonio (because it was Halloween Day) and New Orleans.

Guess what, I found a place thats full with people, thus I decided to park my car into a garage nearby, paid $7 for an hour, to inspect what was going on. It was a stupid decision, because there wasn't anything special but just the Thanksgiving day charity meal for homeless people. I was quite impressed seeing so many homeless people in the States. I started to appreciate what God had given me. I felt so lucky to had been borne in my family. We are not rich, but we have a lovely home. I always think exposure to all these would shape my personality into a better one, such as appreciation, confession, etc.

Happening!

Long queue!

Free clothes for the homeless people

After that, I realised that I got nothing better to do, there is no point seeing them having meal there, isn't it? I went to walk around the city but again it was a dead city, nobody is there. I went to Starbucks to buy a coffee and spare some minutes sitting there relaxing myself but guess what, it was closed! Phew!

Ended up I decided to go to Chinatown again, to get myself some Chinese cuisine for dinner. I went to a Hong Kong food market to do grocery shopping. And then went back to prepare myself a nice homemade Chinese food dinner. Luncheon meat a.k.a Wu Can Rou, wow long time never have it! Dumpling a.k.a Shui Jiao & Shao Mai!




The Argentinians left a lots of alcohol for me, particularly the dark beer which I don't really like. But it is very impolite to reject things people giving you for free, so I will just keep them in the fridge and share them with Miguel when he is back, or Ezeqiuel who is pending Argentina branch decision whether to send him back again or not.

I am pretty sure the first breakfast for me in Malaysia gonna be Char Siew Pao + Siew Mai + Loh Mai Gai + Ji Chiong Fun! I don't care about the extra kilos but I just want to have those! Haha! And I miss Bak Kut Teh, Wan Tan Min, Siew Bao! Oh yea, also the Malaysia local food such as Satay Celup, Nasi Lemak, Karipop, Ais Kacang, Cendol, Roti Telur, Milo Kosong Ais Kaw Kaw! Haha! I miss the mamak niteout!

It's a torture when lovesickness comes together with homesickness. Phew, I miss my family, I miss my crush, I miss my friends!

I ended up took out one of them to accompany me for the nite

Remember I promised that I will let go the White Christmas to be home and celebrate it with my loved ones? I was not kidding.

I'll be home soon =)

New Orleans Trip

Tuesday, November 24, 2009
It's 9:07pm here in Houston. I am stuck in the office now. Overstressed. So I decided to spare 10 minutes on posting something on my blog, heh...

Had been to a great trip with the Argentinians and Spaniard colleagues.

This is a place named NOLA... It's short for New Orleans, Louisiana.






I went for lunch alone to enjoy the wind and relax myself, also took some time to stay silent for some thoughts

And a coffee thought after the lunch



Life is tough. I appreciate being given the opportunities in everything, thanks God for all these. And those You're not going to give me, and if I had tried my best, I know it is not going to be mine somehow.
