Letter To Me

This is the first time I have some Chinese writting on my blog. Though, it's not written by me. A friend of mine wrote me a letter for his class assignment. It's kind of sweet. I am surprised that ChemE folks from school still remember me.

I remember Cat took a Chinese class and was very into it. I wish I actually took the time to take a language class in college as well.

馮小姐:
你好, 好久不見. 感恩節快樂! 這個學期我有一點兒忙. 我現在才能給你寫一封信. 在這兒這個星期天氣比上個星期好. 我的中文課又難, 我學的又慢. 因為我的中文可很難, 所以我學得很多. 老師說他喜歡我的漢字, 我不知道她在說什麼. 除了中文以外, 我還有化學工程課. 雖然中文很難, 可是化學工程比中文更難. 要是我不忙, 我就喜歡彈吉他. 你想你的以前的同學嗎?
今天上午我起了床以後就洗澡了. 中午我吃午飯. 我的一天沒有意思. 現在我一邊寫信一邊做功課! 上個星期二我認識了一個女孩子. 我跟她不一樣大. 我忘記她的名字了. 你有沒有新朋友?
這個寒假你在美國還是中國? 我會跟我的家人一起去印度. 我去以前, 會給你打電話. 要是你在加州, 我們就一起吃飯吧!

柷好
你的朋友

Sweet Thanksgiving

Ensenada, Mexico, a coastal city 70 miles south of the border between U.S. and Mexico, is a somewhat Americanized city. Its beauty is insignificant, but its entertainment redeems its pride.

Anyway, the cruise turned out to be quite awesome and relaxing. I think my parents had too much fun to scrutinize and criticize everything I do; hence, I really enjoyed myself.


A trip to the Mexican land by cruise:
Boarding the cruise in Long Beach, CA.

Formal night on the ship. Dad looks super handsome! lol...

The background is the "Blowhole" near Ensendana. Unfortunately it was low tie, no water shooting up the hole.

My sweet mango margarita. Their legal drinking age is 18. But regardless, I am not underage any more.

The delicious loster. Don't you see, I can't even notice my Dad took an eating shot of me. Luckily I was still showing some manner there.

"Why don't you draw with color?"

I tried.

It doesn't feel right.

The world of black-and-white is more "me".

==============================

I got commissioned by my department senior staffs to draw for a presentation slide for our departmental meeting .

How flattering!

==============================

Departmental meetings usually result in clustering of people, more or less by the years of experience and expertise.

Newbies like the back, because 1) know almost nothing to contribute to discussions; 2) have the best eye sights; 3) quiet conversions won't be heard; 4) sleeping is permitted!

lol...

Grown Up, or Not?

Thankfully, I am fine now. But I am immobilized.
