Moo....ving...

Not to another state or country just another suburb area, but I am happy with my decision.
I have been kinda looking for a better place because this place is messed up. I took the place because at that time, I was renting a room. My room was at the first floor and it was always cold all year long. All my housemates lived upstairs and it was always warm up there.
We always silently argued about the setting of the temperature. I would set it at 72 and they would turn it down to 69. I had a talk with them but nothing changed. So I decided to find a place.
And I found it. It was not perfect because it is on the 1st floor and the carpet was not steamed. The latter was because I wanted to move in ASAP because my friend was going to visit me and I could not let her stay in the icebox room.

So I took the place.
7-8 months passed by and my friend said that the air in this apartment is stale. I was thinking, really?
Because I never heard such thing. A stale air.
He was right.
We checked the air filter and the air filter had 5 cm of dust.
I emailed my landlord and he said he never changed the air filter.
He promised to change it and he did.
I also requested him to clean the air duct.
And he did buy an air duct cleaning service.
But it did not help.
I think I have been breathing in dust that I am allergic to dust now.
I don't know.
What I do know is I want to move the hell out from this place. ASAP.

So looking around thru the web again and found this place.
It is not perfect because it is smaller but at least the carpet, appliances and the building itself is new.
I am going to move on Feb 13.
V-day and Chinese New Year is on Feb 14.
So I guess I am going to be unpacking on Feb 14 :>

Hopefully weather will be cooperating.

Little Tiny World

So I received an email from my sister. She is about 2 months pregnant and went to see a doctor yesterday to take a peek of the little dude or dudete :>
She said that it is still very tiny, about 4 cm. So you kinda have to use your own imagination, but she could see the tiny tiny hands and feet. My heart just melt when I read the email.
I feel sooo happy for both of them that things are doing well. I know that it is not my place to say this but I feel that they both deserve this happiness.
In the past, both of them had some sadness in their love life but they moved on and found each other.
Life is funny and I think things do happen a reason.

Happy 2010 Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah so, it is a little late for the wish , but so what? :P
I have finally crossed out one of my to-do list, snowboarding.
I have tried skiing. Found out that I Hated it! yes, with capital H :)
It was totally different with snowboarding.
I fell on my knees and behind so many times but I was still motivated to keep on trying. That is when I realized I like snowboarding better than skiing (no more making stupid pizza :))
I also had a good friend with me, MaiH. She is also a beginner in boarding but she is definitely better than me. She taught me how to get up in different ways and showed me how to do several things.

After several failed attempts, I was finally able to glide with 2 feet on the board for 3 freakin seconds!!! It felt like it was the best time of my life ever! That motivated me to keep on trying.
It was a good day until my friend got hurt. She decided to take off her wrist guard because it was bulky and bothering her.
She fell and twisted her wrist.
Later on, we found out that she fractured 2 bones.
Luckily, she has a very nice roomie.
He took the initiative to take her home without being asked.
And he is also a good cook too. So, probably, he is taking care of her as we speak :)

I have a cold now. I have been sneezing all day. I probably got it from lack of sleep, late lunch, and slept late after snowboarding. But I am in good spirits!!!
I will go back to the mountain top and glide again!!!
