S'il Vous Plait

Geez, it looks like I haven't touched Xanga for 3 months! When you're working with overseas branches and taking classes at the same time, free time is almost non-existent. Thank goodness there is spring break, so here is the first quarter update.

School

This semester, I've been taking two MBA classes as a non-matriculated student. I have to admit, business classes are very interesting. Thanks to the inspiration from Vicky and Ron, I'm going to study and take the GMAT in June!

Chinese New Year

For the first time, my parents (from Houston in the great state of Texas) and sister (from Chicago, the windy city) visited me in Jersey!! The most attractive point is my newly renovated townhouse. They came at a right time, since I have finished all the remodel work and kept the place clean. I still think the joke is on me, I spent one full year to remodel the townhouse, yet I don't live there. I think the 'rents and big sis are fairly impressed with the amount of work, except as they say Jersey is cold and somewhat remote (from the Big Apple).

Oh yeah, I took them to Benihana for some sizzling hibachi actions. Bring in the year of the pig (boar)!

(Grilling time!)

(Yummy veggies!)

(Noodles)

(Mom and Dad, look so enthused...)

(My favorite golden retriever, Maddie the Da Huang Gou)

Annie's Birthday

I'm glad to get to know the famous Annie! What a fun karaoke event at Japas 38. Happy birthday, Annie!

As they say, it was a strange situation. Status with Kim just became complicated.....
