Day 1&2 : Winter Break 2011

When I studied for my gruesome finals last week, every time I felt that I couldn't focus anymore, I thought about what I would do during the winter break. One thing that I wanted to do was to update this blog =P I also thought about how breaks seem to end so fast. Sometimes when the break ended, I wondered what I've been doing during the break. So this time, I thought it would be a great idea to write a journal during this winter break. In the next 8 months, whenever I'm struggling with my MBA program, at least I could look back and assure myself that I already did my best to enjoy my break.

However, when the break is finally here, I feel reluctant to write as usual =P That's why I missed recording the first day. 

Anyway, this was what I did yesterday: cooking for my friend Keti who will leave California this coming Thursday. She is a very nice person ... and I will miss her a lot. However, I believe this decision is the best decision for both of keti and her husband, ricad ... and I wish them success in their future endeavors. Since she has been such a good friend, I really want to do something for her. To make long story short, yesterday I cooked my mapo tofu and invited both of them, plus our other good friend and her husband, to eat dinner at my new place. Ah ... the beauty of having your own place =) I really enjoyed the fellowship and I honestly felt sad because just when I have the luxury of having my own place, one of them is already leaving. No more fun couple dinner =( 


What's left of my mapo tofu =)


As for today.. I have another gathering with a different circle of friends. We're having our first round of annual crab party! I'm so excited =) Since I'm on holiday, this time I can help them with the preparation. I'm so bad with memorizing recipe but I hope I can learn how to cook crab by helping them =P 


Update: So we made two recipes, crab in oyster sauce and garlic butter crab.

I ate a lot that night! No more crab for the remaining winter break LOL


One of the thing that I also planned to do during the winter break is to study my marketing book ... however, I think I still have enough time to do that =P Fun things first, serious stuffs later *hahaha*

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*

TB Test

One of the things that I hate the most in life is shot / injection. I think, I have a phobia for needle =P This phobia started a long time ago, back in my early childhood. I got typhoid or abdominal fever when I was three or four... and back then, their healing method was still traditional. They had to monitor the virus inside of me daily. So they took my blood every other day. This lasted for almost a month. Can you imagine the horror of this? Especially for a three or four-year old girl? Ever since that incident, needle has become my big enemy. Before I went to U.S. last year, I was forced to get an MMR shot. Oh, it was so scary. I remember I couldn't feel my knees soon after they gave me the shot. My knees became limp in such a short time! Anyway, after that injection the doctor gave me a note, like a proof for the injection. Through my agent, I sent that doctor's note to Texas A&M University, Corpus Christi. When I transferred to De Anza College, TAMUCC didn't for
