After two days of searching, I finally found a hotspot for free wireless internet in my apartment. It's pretty slow compare to home, but it's 36 times faster than what I have last night. The 1mb/second internet yesterday  cut me off from gmail when I wanted to let my mom know I'm safe. {even though the screen of the new camera that my dad got from a lucky draw got ruin.... :( :( :( }

Yesterday: no internet, broken camera screen, couldn't make phone calls from cell phone = sad Lisa
Today: Cleaner apartment, shopped for pillow and cushions = happier Lisa

I've got a lot more wanted to tell you, but I shall sleep now and be prepared for first day of work tomorrow!!

P.S. Thanks to Google Voice, I will be able to call U.S numbers for free until the end of 2010!! WOOT WOOT! For calling HK it's only US$0.02!

today is kind of like thanksgiving

plus fourth of July and maybe a little Halloween combined in one day hong kong style. It's not the perfect example but that's how I felt when I was on the bus back home. 

You might have heard my plans for Tokyo/Okinawa have been delayed well over a month and I was bummed because it took so long to get it all figured out. But I would like to think that whole waiting time was a blessing in disguise. If I left last month I would not get to spent my birthday and this year's Mid-Autumn Festival aka the moon festival at home! Kids go out today with pretty lanterns after dinner while giant "flower lanterns" are also set up in different parks. 

I shall be back with some pictures later!

p.s. Of course instead of turkey, I had a moon cake yesterday. 

p.p.s. Uncle Matt once told me if he became the President of HK one day, he will make HK celebrate Thanksgiving by the way.  

so i tried to look for them...

here at home when I was sad.

then i feel better. :)

i'm not sure why

but i looooooove the water. 

partly cloudy, scattered thunderstorms....

Lisa in June/July/August was not so sunny most of the time...like a stormy Virginia beach. :P

but she is feeling a lot better right now....

Whatever it is...I believe I can handle. 

p.s. (finally) going to get my visa tomorrow. 

moments like this...

I miss.
