hey cathy, there is something huge about business that i wanna talk to you about, sorry that day our network went off so we did not have the chance to chat a little bit more.
LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU'LL BE AVAILABLE NEXT WEEK SO THAT WE COULD START THIS SESSION ASAP

We finally got our first car!!
both in US and life
it's a beautiful 2003 VW PASSAT WAGON GLX 1.8T
121918 miles already
we met a VERY NICE seller, Andrew
we decided to buy this one in 1 hour
this is my first car in US
also in my life
remember this date,
15th July 2010

First of all, I came to Kaiser Permanent, it was a great hospital with great doctors/equipments
All my pain went off that day (7th, July), i was EXTREMELY HAPPY about that.

Second, applied for secured credit card successfully, just waiting for the card next week.

Third, passed the written test when applying for DL/ID this morning (13th, July).

And on 12th, July, our apartment repair guy finally showed up and fixed anything that needs to be fixed. WOW!

NOTES: last night's shrimp was ABSOLUTELY THE BEST shrimp that I've ever had!! Of course it was produced by my wife, WOW!!!

Seeking for a car now, COME ON!

3rd, July
I always knew today wound be a tough day,
Moved our personal stuff to the apartment first on 2nd, and visited an Italian couple,
Saw their bed/mattress, bought two lamps, test drove their Focus.

On 3rd afternoon, started moving bed/mattress/night stand out of Katz's apartment, who's
a Japanese engineer that I met on Craiglist recently, and became a friend of mine.

Then go back to the apartment with Landon, head back to RedWood City,
really tired though, moved all the heavy stuff downstairs, TV/3 TABLES/SOME CHAIRS
when we finally get back to the apartment, it was almost 8PM.

Went to BK for dinner, although I just wanted to drink something.

Yesterday was the first weekend, we headed out for Gilroy Premium Outlets,
It was REALLY HOT&SHINNY, there were Adidas/Nike/Coach/CK/LEVI'S/Converse...
I was kina interested in Nike, Levi's, CK, Coach is for my wife and some other
Cosmetic shops.
The deals there were REALLY GOOD, some were 50% off, it's GREAT to get a coach
on 100 dollars.
I'm definitely gonna visit this place again and again. Maybe on big festivals.
ROAD MAP: 280-87-85-101

On the way back, we dropped at COSTCO, which was a GREAT PLACE for us, which sold
goods with GREAT DEAL in big package. it on LAWRENCE EXPY AND THE KIFER, the LAWRENCE
CALTRAIN station is near by.

Today went to SANTANA ROW, parked our car in Winchester Garage, Level1. There is a
pharmacy and a real estate co across the Steven Creeks, opposite to SANTANA ROW.

 

The beginning of June was VERY GREAT!
I am not feeling any more pain, ANYWHERE!
We lived in Saratoga Road,
Went to the famous Pier 39 and fisherman's dock,
And 99 Ranch Market, which by the way, was a VERY BIG Chinese market!
Then went to the office in North Wolfe road, met with more colleagues and got to see SugarCRM!
We had Italian food, hamburgers at In and Out with Lisa, and another good restaurant with
a bunch of Sales people having good Chinese style food.
Today there will be a lunch with all the colleagues and play games, may then rent a car, hope
everything goes fine the way it's been for the first couple of days.

Cheers again.

记忆中没有比这个五月来的还要更艰难的了。

腿疼，发烧，军区总医院检查。
推迟行程，20天的治疗。
左胯疼痛，又去301看病。
今天忙了一天，终于到了家。

来了三周了，煎熬了三周。
数不清叹了多少次气，
虽然我也不想这样。

不知道是在还谁的债，
还哪一段债。

还是希望走前一切顺利，
让爸妈放心。

4月7日下午和老婆排了1个小时的队，结果发现我的DS160填的有问题，被恶心了一下。。。悻悻回到了公司重新填。。
8日上午，我们站了将近两个小时，终于拿到了我和老婆的签证。

赴美日期待定。。

明天就要去领事馆签证，

似乎从来没想到过自己有一天会去做这件事，

可明天就偏轮到我。

 

世事难料。

很幽默，

也很讽刺。

 

近来经历了很多思索，

多了些对人生的感受，

对生活的感悟。

 

祝明天自己和老婆都顺利。
