Two more weeks, and I m done…hip hip hooray! I cant believe that I finally make it to this far, and yet I feel so sad and so happy at the same time because I will be going back and having to enjoy the life that I m used to instead of suffering here in the blistering cold, the thousand and one chores to do a day, cycling in the damn cold bloody wind, etc…
However, I will be missing so many things here as well…the friends I ve made, the beautiful scenery, my beach house, shopping sprees, the lovely dogs, the $$$...lol…sounds like I ll be missing here more than ever…meanwhile…I am so excited, I will be seeing my mom soon. Cool rite. She’s coming to join me in New York and we are going to travel the states. We ll be spending 7 days around in Washington, Philadelphia,boston, new york..etc..and den to Hong Kong and back to Malaysia. It sounds like we are traveling half the world, lol…meanwhile the coffee house is getting busier by the day as Christmas is coming.
To update a lil, last week I went to Lewes to see the parade for Christmas that they usually have in here.It is a traditional thing, and the place that oby brought us too was really incredible, it looks like what u see in a movie, in fact a recent movie by Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica parker was shot dere in that location, we even went to the cottage and church which they used it as the wedding scene. CSI was also shot in this town for one episode, how cool is it… meanwhile we witness the parade in freezing cold, there were cadillacs, cars u see in archie comics, it really exist, then we went bk to oby’s beach front house to celebrate the twins bday with 2 special guest, George and Savando.
They are these gay couples that are ridiculously successful, they own like the top hair saloon in the city here and damn are they humble. They have done sarah Jessica parker’s hair btw when she was dere and god knows how many more celebrities which comes here so often especially in the summer. Meanwhile we went to ocean city Maryland to see the festivals of light. Oby took us to a Japanese buffet, the food was so darn good. Price was better, at $40 per person, yet they have lobsters as big as my whole hand. So I guess its still damn good deal…
We went shopping afterwards. These last few days have been glorious. We had customer giving us tips of $25 just for making coffee for them, Christmas really makes ppl give. And being the receiving ones really feel so good, which means I will definitely not forget pressies I ll be getting for my friends back in m’sia too. Oh I hate to brag, but I just realize that I make a lot for last 2 weeks. And I had never really make that much $$$ for as long as I can remember, and I just feel so good, damn it…I will make sure I get that latest coach bag for mom…see I told u I love u…since u r coming and that I will be having u to pay for more of my shopping den lol…J
But i really need to stop myself from spending so much, gosh u know i brought 10 pairs of shoes, i m dead serious. I just realized it yesterday nite when i almost tripped over the amount of shoe boxes i pile next to my bed.I t probably last me th whole enitre 2-3 years. I still cant believe i actually brought that many pairs.
Seriously the whole entire experience makes me value a lot of things, see things in a much more diff light, and grow up from wherever I was before. I m going to go back soon and the past 3 months I feel that I have grown so much. Working in the states and being part of the town here, seeing my regulars every morning from the state judge, to navy captains, Nasa astronauts, mayors governors, garbage collectors, McDonald owners.
In conclusion, they are just people and they have the greatest attitude ever, the way they respect each other, they don’t rank themselves in status and yet they treat everyone just the same. You don’t see any air or graces; it is a democratic way that they adopt. Of course not everything bout them is great, they still have lots of flaws but to compare asian culture and the Americans….we have still a lot to pick up from, well…at the end of the day, we know now why the American dominates, because the true American which I have the opportunity to know, really shows me the greatest in the personality and humbleness they carry. In which I really truly aspires to be someday……..(i m still extremely proud to be a m'sian...:) )
