Who Killed the Electric Car?

If you have not seen this movie, please rent it. It is so sad what happens to a car that is actually good for our world. The pressure from one major industry can eliminate a whole fleet of them. What is our world coming to?

Root Canal!!

i had my root canal today and it hurts but not so bad. Thank goodness to Advil. I love my endodontist. Dr. Trope is the best and I highly recommend him if you need one. He is very sweet and definitely knows what he is doing. I think I finally have all the best doctors in my life. I still do not like my neuro-opthamologist. He is not a very attentive doctor.

Happy Birthday to me!

Well, another year is gone and a new one just began. I started my birthday in a very bad note. I cried almost half the day and had to visit my headache specialist. My specialist thinks it might be time to change career because of what I am experiencing. So, I might.

On the other hand, all my friends call or email me wishing me Happy Birthday. Carl text me and bought me a beautiful card. He also got me a wonderful little purse to hold my spare money when I go running instead of taking my huge wallet. My doctor thinks it is great that I am working our again. My cousin, Jo text me and my dad even call, who sometimes forget.

It is half good and half bad. Maybe that will be my year. Thank you everyone who remembers!!

Valley Green Inn!

We met with the wedding coordinator at Valley Green Inn yesterday and it is more beautiful than I remember which was a week ago. The patio area for the wedding is so pretty and rustic and we love it. She will give us a discount because Carl and I decided to have the wedding on Friday. It is less crowded on Friday at 7 pm. We won't be having a clambake but a good old fashion American BarBQ.

Soy Cafe in Northern Liberties

I have been visiting the Soy Cafe for the past few days and I think I am hooked. Chinese people has been drinking soy milk for ages and when you mix a bit of Chai tea with soy milk...a perfect combination. so good!! I went there to get a smoothie because I have not really eaten due to my teeth and their sunshine smoothie is the best. But I decided to eat a little later that day and went back and got a soy chicken wrap. Oh! it was delicious. It has some wasabi sauce, garlic hummus, spring greens, carrots, avocado, and cucumber. I took enough Advil as I crunch on.

Meet the new king of Malaysia

Being born a Malaysian, I am very proud of this little country eventhough I had to give up my citizenship in 2003. Under Malaysia's rotational monarchy, the heads of each of the nine hereditary states occupy the throne for five years.

The king's role is largely ceremonial, with power in the hands of parliament and the prime minister.

Malaysia is the only country in the world to have a rotating monarchy.

I feel that this tradition is very fair.

My chessy girlie movies

I love cheesy movie and I know some of you know that. So, I recorded the "Prince and Me 2: Royal Wedding." Let me say, it is not the same without Julia Stiles. The new girl is pretty lame. But the prince is still HOT. They even have a new queen. This SUCKS!!!

Other than that, a bunch of us went to support Dining Out for Life. 33% of our dinner bill goes to various AIDS foundations in the area. We went to A Full Plate Cafe for dinner and I really enjoyed this restaurant. After a few of us went to Azure and I am neglecting to say the bar Carl recommended sucks. When we were at Azure, we ran into Mike and Rachel. With Mike, it is more like Carl chase him down but I had a great time. It is nice to have the gang together again.

My visit with my nuerosurgeon

It was a successful visit. The doctors and radiologist has confirm Kenny, the tumor is not a health treat. He can be a permanent resident in my brain for now. We will examine his condition and size in six months and after that if Kenny decide to stay in his petite tumor body, he can become a citizen of my brain.

But due to my headaches... I have to see a nuero-optomologist on the 19th. I was warn that I will be there for 3 hours of pure joy sitting with Carl in dilated eyes. Seems like the next two weeks, I have 1- 2 doctors' appt.

What a week!!!

We were told on Monday that our new home will be delay till June/July delivery. I also realized that we will be homeless because our apartment has been rented out. So, panic!! Thank goodness for wonderful friends, who are willing to share their space with us. On Wednesday, I spoke with our Apartment manager and she told us she won't kick us out and will tell the new tenant to take a look at another place. Whew! By Friday, I got an email from our manager that we have to check out another unit. The new tenant won't give up and might bring legal in. Yikes! No place to live again! By Saturday, I spoke to her... we will be moving downstairs. Not so bad and Carl decided he will unpack so a little. We might be staying till August or September.

In the mist of hell, Tuesday, Dena cooked a delicious Passover meal. Got a bit drunk from all those glasses of wine that I have to chug. I don't prefer to chug wine maybe tequilla. Let's bring some to Seder next time!

Thursday was girls' night and I was the organizer. Yay! So, we went to bump for $3 Martini. YUMM! Have 5 and felt fantastic! Karin found out our fabulous waiter was a DJ from her hometown, Kansas City. She used to listen to him every morning.

Saturday, we went dancing with Karin and Karen at the 700 club. I love that place! We use to hang out there alot during college years and after. We stop for several years because no one seem to want to go dancing until NOW. Now I found dancing friends and we can go back often. It is crampy at a certain time and sometimes... you will find one rude person that you want to smack. The best part there is no more smoking in there anymore.

A new addiction

Carl and I received a free preview of HBO and we decided to watch "Rome." After watching one episode, it just suck us in. I have to say this is a fantastic series. It is gruesome but I am able to turn my head into Carl's armpit or run to bathroom. Today, I subsribe to HBO so we can continue the saga. I can't wait till next week.

MRI

My next MRI is tonight and lucky me! I have to sit in that damn contraption for 45 minutes. Thank goodness that it is open not close or I will have my panic attack. I wish it will be easier for them to check my brains or Kenny out! If they could only design bionic glasses.

Hello Kitty

The side of Hello Kitty that you don't see too often.



Wish I can train Molly to do that.

A jerk in action!

Milton Street said on Friday, March 2, 2007:


"You have these stores run by the Asians staying up until 2 in the morning," he said. "I'm going to shut them down by 9 o'clock... . What business do you have if you're not selling drugs?"

What does he mean by this? Is he being racist to the Asian community? As an Asian female in this country, I think he just offended me. I think he should really think before he speak or hire someone to write his speeches.

Our first purchase for the house

We just purchase our first appliance and it is the new front loader washer and dryer from Frigidaire. It has many various colors and we pick plain old white because it is cheap. So, we were able to save 1/2 price on the dryer and also get many fantastic rebates. The total rebates we got was $595. Oh, if you plan to buy appliances check out the ABC appliance store in Cherry Hill. Thanks Jen and Sally for your recomendation. The people are really helpful and friendly. Ask for Fred or Erin.

On Friday for lunch

My co-workers and I went to Border Cafe, which is no relation to Border's Bookstore, that serve very delicious Mexican food. I had a Tostado Grande salad which came with shredded beef and beans and guacomole and many more delicious stuff. It is sooo good that I can't help thinking of it. I think I am going to try to make the shredded beef for burritos or a salad. I found the recipe but have to see how I do before sharing it.

Kabob

I have no clue what is going on in my brain this week but I am addicted to Kabobs. I search for all kabob restaurant in Philadelphia. Last night, Carl and I had date night and we went to try the Aromatic House of Kabob in Olde City. We decide to try because it is around the corner from his job. Mike D, Steve, and Carl are always looking for places for lunch. Their lunch menu is pretty reasonable. We decide to share a platter because I was told by "expatdena" that it was huge. It was yummy but I stil love Kabobeesh in West Philadelphia. Today... I want to try the Sansom Street Kabob. I will let you how my addiction ends up at least it is not drugs or alcohol but foood.

Cat plays piano

I was watching the news this morning and I saw this cat playing the piano. I have to share this with you. I wish Molly can play the flute or saxophone.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy V day to everyone!!

Packing days have started!

Well, our apartment is filled with boxes and Carl is determined to finish packing before we move. Maybe two months ready. So, there is no longer a dining room table. He has started to put all my books away. There is an excitement in the air and we can't wait to move. So, sorry folks no one is allowed over till we move.

another restaurant week

We went to Farmicia and some people did not enjoy their food. But I love my fish. Next restaurant week, we decided it is Carl's turn to pick. Honestly we have to start a circle and have someone pick. Whoever came up with this idea... Brilliant!! So, Carl will pick the next one.
