Hello November =)

Hi! I know it's been a while ... I've been very busy with school and moving ... So many things happened and i really don't know where to start. Let me begin by giving you this cute picture of our balcony:



So yeah, this is our new place and we love it! The size, the location, the serenity ... it's just perfect! =)

Looking back, our apartment hunting was not fun. It was frustrating. I was in my final weeks - well it was two or three weeks before final when we started looking intensively. So in addition to busy weekdays, i also had hectic weekends. My typical weekend was like this : Saturday morning we went apartment hunting, around 1 PM I had group meeting until around 6 PM ish ... Sunday after church, we visited 1 or 2 prospective places before my hubby drove me to King Library for another group meeting or study session. Before we decided to choose this apartment, we almost rent another apartment in North San Jose. After further consideration, we canceled our booking although that means we lost our holding / booking fee. Anyway, I'm so glad that in the end God leads us to this place =)

A few weeks after we moved, we celebrated my husband's birthday plus apartment warming with our friends. It was fun! =) It was supposed to be a surprise party, but somehow i think my husband already knew that i was planning something for him. It was kinda hard since we just moved in and there were a lot of essential things that we still miss. So i felt like i was in an undercover mission, every time my husband went to work, i was out buying stuffs for the party =P Thankfully there were some good friends who help me with cooking and preparing for the party.

The Birthday Cake

So, right now i'm in the middle of Fall semester - session B. I have two new courses, accounting and managerial decision making. We only have 1 group project from one of the new classes so it's not as busy as before. But i have a feeling that it will be busier after thanksgiving because we will have final for the remaining class from section A, the managerial research writing class. So approximately three more weeks of studying then i will have my winter break ... ah~ i can feel the holiday spirit is already there =P

PS: I think this is hilarious, I neglected this blog long enough until i forget my password LOL

TB Test Result

When I woke up in the morning last Thursday, the first thing I did was checked my hand. To my utmost horror ... It had became that big! Gosh ... the final result from the nurse was positive with 14 mm bump. So whether I want it or not, I need to go and get a chest X-ray =( PS : Btw, have I told you that this bump will stay for months? =( Oh, and it is starting to itch too ... =( UPDATES: The bump disappeared after a month or so. There is no scar whatsoever on my hand. I heard that a lot of people who were born in Asia usually get a positive result. It is because they had TB Vaccination while they were little. Anyway, I did get my chest X-ray. There is nothing to worry, everything is good =)

TB Test update

This is what it looks like after 36 hours : I really hope it could stay like this until tomorrow because I think this means I'm negative. *crossing my finger*

Orlando / Florida Visit General Tips

Hi everyone!  I just got back from my Orlando, Florida trip. It was super fun! I am trying to write in detail about the park that we visited and the rides that we took .. however, as usual it will take some time before the posts are ready. Yes, I will divide the Florida trip stories into several posts.  Meanwhile, here are some general tips for visiting theme parks in Orlando, Florida. Let me start with where to stay. I don't remember if I have mentioned about this before in my previous posts ... So, basically I bought the theme parks vacation deal from Costco Travel. I did try to purchase the trip separately (hotel, car, theme parks tickets, and plane tickets) on several different travel websites like Expedia, Hotwire, Kayak, etc. However, I found that the price difference was really small. So we decided to skip all the hassle and just purchased the whole vacation package from Costco.  Costco gave us different total price depending on how long we stay and where we stay. If I
