Across Pacific!

Ok... so here I am in LA!

This is what happened to me in last 15 hrs...
Friday, same working day, waiting for my boss coming into the office until 3pm, recap with boss, rush running out of the office at 5pm, go home have a shower, get everything packed, running to bus stop at 6pm, waiting for bus to the airport.

8.30pm, waiting for boarding, airport was quiet and empty w/ only flight crews and a few passangers. 9pm, the transit passangers got in and finally got the waiting room packed. 9.15pm, got on board, sitting next to an indian couple, the guy was rude to look for magazine in my front sack. Got pissed and gave hime a dirty look. 1 kid in the behind row was crying to another kid for his mom's left of the flight, who left stuff in waiting room and got back to search, and he sobbing and crying and asking the other boy what if the mom couldn't make it back to the flight.. blah blah blah... 5 mins later his mom got back, he blamed mom a bit and released a bit and cried a bit again like the emotion can't be switched off in 1 sec...

Sat 9.40am taipei time, Fri 6.40pm LA time, having had 2 meals w/ a terrible sleep we finally landed in LA. They took my both hand 2nd finger prints and photo and asked me 2 questions (how do you do & what's the purpose of your visit), then issued me a 6 month stay stamp again and let go of me. Uh... quite easy to me to step on the states...

7.40pm, the shuttle finally came to pick me up after a 40 mins waiting. (i guess we chose the wrong company... seems nobody takes prime time but a lot of people go for super shuttle....) The driver asked for the address and asked me if i knew where it is... (uh oh...) then he turned on the light, took out the magnifier, looked up the map, staring at the page for 5 mins... then he gave me an answer...'We'll see!'....

8.20pm, finally got to the apt, the steps lead to a gate, opened up the gate there're more steps... I saw someone running down so I asked him if he knew which one is apt 7... he read thru 1-6 in the ground floor, then 8 in the corner, then he ran to the 2nd floor and read thru 11-15... there's just no 7... so he ran dowstairs again and read thru again, still no 7. Then he went to knock at someone's door, i guess it's the landloard's, and got to know the no 7 is just right the first one on the left hand side up the steps.... ok.. well.. i felt really sorry to that guy who ran around, up and down twice ('to find out the goddamn no 7 for this big-luggage-carrying cute foreign girl coming to this crime city alone at a dark night'... he must have thought in this way), and what he's trying to look for is just right beside me...

8.30pm, I looked down of the doormat, found the gold key, inserted into the lock hole.... hm... it's still locked.. tried again... it's still locked... so i asked the seem-to-be-landloard guy, who was just about to walk upstairs, to come down to help. He walked down w/ his big figure, came to my door, and pulled up the door bit, then the door got opened! Whew... Finally..... (but i guess in this 10 mins w/ 2 guys running around and counting numbers and me shouting if he could wait for me to lift my luggage into the gate, all the neighbors must have been waken up already....)

OK.... so here I am in the house, got my shower done, had some tomato soup, watching tv and relaxing, then i decided to write down my funny 15hrs and share with you guys. Oh you must think I mis-calculated the time... well, actually 15 hrs is just the time difference between taipei and los angeles. So now boys and girls, I'm going to spend my precious 10 day vacation!

Have a good time there too!:)

You can get drunk but...

Why Vodka always make you fart all night and wake you up at 5am?

The first typhoon this summer just hit and totally covered this island today. We heard of the news last week and until sunday morning taipei still had a beautiful blue sky and same summer heat. So even if my friends cancelled the paintball game and the beach plan, me and dave still went to keelung seashore to watch the waves, which could perform much better splashes than ever at typhoon days.

So we were wellcovered by the raincoat and standing on the top of the cliff, aginst the 10 grade wind and rain drops hitting on the faces, watching the waves spanking the rocks underneath and then coming huge splashes. It was amazing and we were even expecting some bigger ones over 3 stories height but too bad there wasn't any.

We actually felt typhoon until we were on the way back to taipei in the evening. The rain poured in a sudden and it's like it'd never end. But 10 mins later everything stopped and what you could see was only the drops from the roof edge and puddles. I was invited to a BBQ party in shiji so I dropped off the train in the middle of the way. The party started with quietness and some funny talks and sipps of cocktails, then someone brought up the dice drinking game so most of us got drunk after several rounds. Then they started to play this twister game which is really not a good idea... someone kept biting me like hell when i managed to balance my body by 10 fingers and 10 toes! Jesus... those crazy SAs...

So that was my typhoon eve. Normally we should've stayed at home for the safty concern, but this one turned out to be a fun party night. I felt guilty afterwards tho for not listening to the warnings but still hanging out till midnight on typhoon day...

But... it was such a FUN day!:P

Cinema vs. Dvd player

To those who are thinking of going to watch 'Madagascar', i'd suggest you waiting until the DVD comes out... you know what i mean.

Next movie- The Island. Need comments of it. I personally like the actress... she's cute! hehe....

Haunted

So one night I ran into my roomate and had a little chat. I asked if he found a new job after being away for 2-3 wks and he said no he's still teaching in Ko Jen. I asked which brench and he said Nanking, which is the one dave works so i asked if he knows dave he said yes. Then he got to know we once dated before and he promised to give me more updates next time.

The other night my roomate stopped me for a while and told me his conversation with dave. He's not dating anyone now and he asked me to call him so we can hang out like friends some time.

Last night I went to Jenny's ex-colleague's bday party with her. A guy came up to talk to us and I asked if we met before. He said yes he's dave's colleague and we went to play pool together a few times. Then I got to know most of people in the party are from different branches of Ko Jen school. Then I recognized one of the girl is their boss, who i met once when dave took me to her place. She's a very nice lady and told me something about dave which i didn't quite know.

So there it is.... after 4 months disconnection, my life and this guy came across again. Seems wherever i go, i would meet those who're related to him. I'm kind of haunted by my ex.
