Rambling...
I was at Best Buy for 3 hours on July 4th. Got the 32 inch Bravia. I like it a lot but my husband thinks it's overpriced especially it's just sitting in the dining room. Well, I will have Starbucks pay for it.
Rode our bikes to see the fireworks near our house on the 4th, this year the fireworks are not that great compared to what I have seen in San Francisco and Hong Kong. But I do like this particular one.
Kind of cool!
Today was my first day at work for the week (oh, and for the month, too!) I was so sleepy in the morning and had to literally drag myself out of bed. Luckily there weren't that many email to read through (I just deleted most of them based on the headline) but my to do list just keep growing anyway. By the time it's around 4:10 pm, I was almost ready to pass out. So I decided to surf a little bit and check out some air ticket prices. Looks like September is the month to travel!! That's when all the ticket prices starting to go down if you booked by July. Japan and Shanghai are the two places I checked out. Hong Kong, too, but with very minimal interest. Then I happened to see some information about buying stuff in Shanghai, the article has the exact information of what my new cube neighbor just told me in our earlier chat. He said when he was in Shanghai, things were offered to him at a price 4 times of what his local friend could get it for. The article said the exact same thing! I am starting to wonder if his 'experience' is based on what he read on the net. There is nothing wrong with sharing news or interesting facts you read from somewhere else but hmm... passing it on as your own experience is just like kids lying to gain popularity. This new cube neighbor tends to always want to start a 15-min conversation with me everytime he walked by my cube, and the way all these 'travel to Asia experiences' would just keep coming. He was in Taiwan when they were having the Oct-10 celebration. I have been to Taiwan at least 20 times and I had never been there on Oct 10 to see the celebration... He was in Hong Kong during Christmas - ok, I can buy that one but he has CID friends who did this and that...hmmm. (Could those friends be the characters in some HK action movies?) Then he was in Vietnam and his friend own this 1 million dollar house (a million dollar home in Vietnam, I am sure there are some but the chances of HIS FRIEND being the owner of it...hmm...) Anyway, I am probably just losing my focus on work (bored) that I become over-critical of him and that I am envious that he is more sociable and well-travelled. :-)
Is it time to go home yet?
