Hey dere,
How have u guys been? Meanwhile Happy Halloween! Last Friday, I held a party at my hse , cuz it was sort of a welcome party for me and my friend Florence in here. Our American friends which we made here wanted to throw it for us, so of cuz we can’t say NO rite. Lol Meanwhile, these ppl are seriously cool, they decorated the whole entire hse, and gosh it was really really nice, u should have seen the spiders and webs and god knows wat they put in here. Honestly if u guys were here as well, definitely the party will be even better cuz u know rite how much I miss u all…awww….:) I m serious k…
Meanwhile this was my first time having an all American party, like I told u, we r like the only Asians here, so u knowlar not to say we dun wanna invite Asians but dere r like no Asians to invite, so its more of an all white party. So, how did it went???
Honestly, u wont wanna know….but all I can say is det in life u must at least get urself invited to an American party, and then u ll seriously know how much fun u missed….lol
Dun worry, the police din turn up, even if they did, my American counterparts here are too smart for them to do anything. But on a more serious note, I think this would be the one and last party I’ ll ever host for a long time becuz I dun think my heart can take anymore of this kind of shit all in one night. Heck it was still fun, so no regretslar..:)
Meanwhile, I m starting to really get use to life here, then again, I m also worried, I hope I dun start becoming so attach to this place n den next thing I know I come back all American wannabe, and start speaking like some bloody angmoh…but den look so m’sian , u knowlar how we use to complain bout our “friends” which comes back from Australia, states, UK etc with an accent and trying to be cool all that crap.
But I can now tell u the logic out of it. Did u know that most of us are not pronouncing our “Rss” properly. We can understand each other back where we r, but in here noone can understand what we say when we speak words with Rrrs…And that’s why in order to let them understand us better, we speak like em, and imagine me having to take their orders down, so if by any chance I really come back and start speaking like wat I just told u…dun blame me k....okay, lets move on more interesting things…hmmm I m being kau by an American hahahaha….btw he’s pretty cute….oh and also by a russian.....lol…damn man, I m such a biatch….i cant help it…..so u see….not that I m so proud or anything….den again….i dun feel so homesick anymore…so….what else??/
I knowlar…u wanna know more of wat is going on rite...:P but reallylar…I m too mature
for all of em…so seriously…I think nothing ll probably happen, I m still going back to finish up my degree no matter wat man, wasted so much of everything in it. Hmm,…or..should I just go get a “MRS” degree…LOL….tempting..really..what to do, rich country like this,seriously standards of living really big difference. But home is still homelar I guess, nothing beats home….den again…..HOW ARR??? Lol….did I tell u det the American’s dad owns a big construction company ,gosh I m seriously in deep shit now..jokinglar :P
Luv, lynn

Halloween Party..:)
A month has gone pass already, and this coming week Seawitch festival is just around the corner, which means we are going to have again a hell of a week with nonstop lines of customers. Meanwhile, a lot of interesting things happen over the week. Firstly, I get to carve my first pumpkin, it was like being a little kid again, but damn it was so much fun doing so. We had the jack o lantern up just like how we always see white kids do on TV.Back in Msia, I think none of us actually ever does stuff like det, not to mention the trick or treat thing. Oby gotten us the pumpkin, and he took it all the way from the pumpkin patch which is the place where pumpkins are grown.
The work thing is going on fine, I am like a super expert in espressos, but my poor hands have been scalded so many times by the fking machine I think it gotten used to it. Meanwhile my cappuccino, kahlua and cream latte is my best drinks which I perfected making it. This French customer, damn well mannered and refine guy actually told me that I make him the best cappuccino so far he has been in the states, and he actually said det I match the standard of what he gets back in France. Man I am so honoured. Maybe I was actually born to make coffee, lol and the most ironic part is det I don’t even drink coffee....(surprising rite)
This coming week is the celebration of Halloween, and this Friday, I am throwing a party at my hse, all rather WE are throwing a party at the house. Heather was the one with the idea, meanwhile I guess she had invited almost everyone she knows, so I guess we are gonna be having this wild party cuz this will be the first one which I am going to be in with a roomful of whites and Russians. Damn, sure hope nothing gets out of hand. However, everyone is told to bring their own beer, so I guess it will be whole load of fun provided noone starts getting too drunk and god knows wat will happen. Nevertheless, I am anticipating it, cuz I do wanna see how ppl can get that rowdy when they r drunk, of cuz I will make sure I get out of the way, or safest bet I will just stick to Volva…lol…
I invited him, and he was more than eager to come, but the only reason I did other than the fact that he’s really gd looking (haha, very funny rite) cuz not of that reasonlar…its cuz I just want him to bring the liquor and purchase for me as well cuz u know rite he works at the liquor store, which means he buys any liquor with a 20% discount (not to say that its that expensive cuz its already like super duper cheap here). I know, I sux, damn bad wei…use ppl like det, but den again a party still a party and the more the merrier. Meanwhile at least I know I ve some decent ppl to hangout with just in case that crazy American gal and her friends gets out of the line.
It’s a Halloween party, so everyone must come in a costume, and heather decided she’s gonna be a witch, and Aida a gypsy which I think suits her well, and me lol :) I am gonna be a bloodsucker haha, hmm…I haven’t thought of it yet. I think I will come out with something by Friday. Worse to worse I become a mummy wrap myself in toilet paper lol..
I went out with Aida and Heather to FRiendlys for ice cream on tues, and we met another group of angmohs again. These ppl damn uselesslar, they were all high as hell, after their joint, and then the worst part is they were driving and racing around the highway. Luckily there were no accident but thank god the police here are pretty efficient and they round em out in no time. They deserve itlar, drinking and driving is already bad enuff, not to mention smoking pot, drinking and driving at the same time.
The place I am in is actually an almost zero crime rate area , only thing is the people idea of a party just always seems to end up with nothing other than drugs. But who’s to blame when they get it so easily here, do u know det when Florence was ill, I had to buy medicine for her, and I was able to buy NYQUIL over the counter without any prescription just like det. In case u dunno wat’s det, it’s the flu mixture which makes u damn high when used in excessive in fact it taste damn good too.And yes, the effects is like weed, in fact it is way better, it numbs u out and when I ve a bad day at work, honestly it is dangerously attractive.
Meanwhile I set some strict rules and I m making sure everyone abides to it, cuz I dun wanna have any police up my doorstep and if Oby finds out he will freak the hell out. So those under 21 if they wanna drink be smart and just run if anything goes wrong, otherwise just borrow a fake ID or whatever. DRUGs not in the house, if I find it dere, OUT u go.. u can do it like anywhere else but not in my hse. Cuz if anything goes wrong I could be in serious trouble. There’s like a woods with a lake in the neighbourhood which I live in, so most ppl goes dere to make out, etc. Well u r most welcome to do ur stuff dere. BUT NOT IN THE HSE!!!! Volva promised that he ll help me make sure all his Russians buddies get the message, and den again nobody will be det stupid to place themselves in such a dangerous situation cuz to come here is already hard enuff not to mention obtaining working visas, last thing we wanna do is ruin our reputation..
Just det I am still worried bout heather and her American friends, u know I ve already prepared myself for the American culture, yet, I still find it difficult at times when I see them get so bloody wild. I can take it, or rather at some point I just cant, maybe dets why I was born a Chinese and I am really proud of being one. At least I still have my sense of rationality no matter how high I become, and the most important thing not let anyone get the better of me. So like I say, I invited volva, so he could kinda take care of me, hahaha…(u know I wish u were here) ….
Anyways, m looking forward to Halloween, and den thanksgiving will be up next, for now I gtg get ready for work. The weather this week is freezing again, so damn bloody cold. I miss Msia, really do, then again I prolly ve loose ends dere which makes me wonder about a lot.

Greetings from delaware....
Its been a month since I left home to embark on this journey. Time flew past me, the last 2 weeks has been a seriously life changing time for me. I had to settle in to a foreign land, having finalized my job, housing, rent etc. Getting myself used to my job and actually fitting in to the city of Rehoboth avenue. Finally, I am getting use to the whole deal now.
It was rather difficult when Florence my companion in this trip fell sick. I was worried like hell for her and then again I had to work her shifts as well.
Meanwhile my job is going on fine, in fact, I had received my first pay check, seriously I feel so proud of myself cuz I cant believe that I just manage to earn my first paycheck in USD, and man although the work is hell a tough job, but $$ is always the motivating factor I guess lol…oh btw I have went to open a bank account last week. I did it with Wycovia bank, a really big bank corp apparently. Hence, at least I get to save a little of what I earn before I spend it all off lol..:)
Truthfully, I am getting a lil homesick, but I refused to call home because I don’t want to feel even worse after that, I miss my family, mom and bro especially, my friends, especially the food in M’sia. However, I should not complain too much cuz working in Oby’s coffee house, I am already privilege enough to be able to eat anything I want and the best part is his food and his coffee (espresso con pama) is the best in the whole state of Delaware. People pay like RM20 for just a plain croissant, damn either they are stupid or plain rich. Then again in the town of Rehoboth city, you seriously don’t seem to see any poor people other than exchange students like myself…..which means I am consider the poor ranking citizens, goodlah…good reason for this ppl to give me more of their cash hehehe…
The place which I am staying in this neighborhood. It is one of the high end places and really I ve nothing to complain about. I probably will never get a chance to stay in such a big hse on my own. The house has a complete basement, attic just exactly like an American dream hse .My neighbours are snobbish like hell. Yet, thanks to my super filthy rich employer whom probably owns like a stretch of houses. By the way, I have not properly introduced my boss yet. He’s the all American guy, with a super gorgeous wife to die for, gosh I swear, she looks like Jennifer Anniston, exact blonde version and has that pair of super cute twin boys and a beautiful daughter clone version of the wife. Luckily he is a nice guy, he had been really nice to me and Florence, except when he’s in his mood, and seriously gets on your nerves when he gets u to do things for himFor now, my job scope is managing the whole entire coffee house; I am a barista cum manager cum sandwich maker, cum toilet cleaner, etc. Gosh can u believe it??? I actually can do all these stuff. I even ground the coffee, and yes we roast our coffee ourselves. There are like all types of beans from everywhere. I even learn to make waffles, like seriously make the paste to produce them .Apart from baking the stuff which is handled by the baker, cuz they have to protect the secret recipes in it. Other than that, every damn thing, from Brie plate, to smoothies, lattes, espressos, brewing coffees, grinding beans, bagging coffee u name it.
Meanwhile, a lot happen last 2 weeks. Firstly, my boss took us down to Dover city largest hotel cum casino to participate in the food fair exhibition .Apparently; all the owners of the largest restaurants around the area were there to try out the latest things for food in making. Needless to say, we were practically attending a buffet party, we get to try all sorts of food from the latest flavours of Haagen Daaz, to Sara’s lee latest cake versions,man it was a huge gourmet thing. All types of salmons, veals, scallops, wines, foie gras, etc. I ate so much I wanted to puke. It was really a fantastic show; I met the owners of Outback steakhouse, those posh Italian restaurants, and all those leading ppl in the food industry. It was an eye opening experience, too bad I can’t take pictures of it cuz the security was rather tight .Then again, all the big guys are in town, what would you expect.
Then Oby, took us again to another restaurant for supper, as though we had not ate enough, luckily I m working so I can burn all these guilty calories. This time it was some Japanese restaurant. And one of the most famous jap dining place in the Lewes town. Meanwhile, I guess I m pretty lucky to have the chance to attend a food show such as this. Afterall it’s only by VIP invitation, and I, (a nobody) actually have the invitation to get in.: P Oh did I tell u, I met a few Russian exchange students here, and yes they are all guys. Really cute ones too, like seriously good looking, and one of them who happen to be working at the liquor store. A seriously heavenly place to go too in America, especially when u see the price, RM 20 for a dozen of bud light weiser, in bottle form..i swear…drinking water is even more expensive. Meanwhile, this guy Vulva (what a name rite?) he comes visits me everyday when he walks past the store to his workplace. It’s great to have a friend to see u a day; at least I get to talk to someone my age.
Then again he’s Russian, so when we speak, it’s like a dog vs cat kinda language. But funnily we understand each other, (hey dun worry lar, I m not into Russians, seriously although they r cute etc. yet dun seemed to appeal to me, then again I guess I never know…)
You know, I just realized how many things that I do not know before, and now I finally open my eyes, I feel so dumb knowing that before I came for this trip, I feel like a frog in the well, whatever it is, it’s never too late to learn, and most importantly I am learning it now. By the way, my cooking skills had improved tremendously. Meanwhile I guess I ve pretty much updated my days here. I am planning to get a 2nd job, had applied in a few nice places. Hopefully I get it, and then I can earn even more, and then shop like hell in New york….
I miss that city, can’t wait to go back dere, which I will after this whole job stint. Oh I gotten myself a Coach bag, and I m heading to Polo, tommy and the rest of the outlets later next week, before the Halloween festival, and my 2nd paycheck on the way….gosh, if u see the prices and the goods u get here, for it…one word…SHOPPING PARADise.. ..:)
