Not A Surprise

Hi everyone! =D


I'm finally enjoying my first break this year. I have around ten days break this month because some of my MBA peers are taking a value added activity in Germany. I figured out that I need break more than value, so I skipped this activity =p Btw, I'm writing this post from Hillsdale's Barnes and Noble. It's been a while since I was here. I think my last visit was last year before I started my MBA program.


There is a reason behind my visit to Hillsdale. I want to take a look at travel guide books! Two years ago, I found a travel book in this store, that helped me a lot in planning my trip to Disneyland. I do hope the other book (from the same publisher) can help me with my next trip.


Anyway, I know it might sounds weird why I'm suddenly planning a trip. The thing is, my MBA experience is about to end soon =) I will be graduating this August. I can thank God enough for all his guidance and support throughout this program. I know there is no way I could survive the program without his grace. Well, there are still 4 classes left before I finish this "race," I pray that God will sustain me until the end. 


This one year MBA program is a big deal for me... and for my husband. That is why he decided to give me a "not a surprise" gift. Well, it half a surprise actually. Or we can just call it an early surprise =) Initially, he wants to surprise me like last time when he suddenly appeared in front of my apartment in Texas on valentine day, but he is afraid that I will not like the arrangement. So this time He let me know earlier, so that I could help him with the planning and decision making. Btw, did i tell you that the trip will coincide with my birthday? =)


I'm already super excited about the trip. However, I can't just go on cloud nine yet. There are a lot that I need to accomplish within these 4 months. One of them is finding a job *sigh* Anyone know an open position in marketing for an MBA graduate? =)

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 =)

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 ...

15

What is it with 15? Can you guess? Well, I'm going to visit my parents in 15 more days =) I'm so thrilled and grateful at the same time. It's been almost four years since I got married and moved to the States. I've never been this far apart from my family ... and for such a long time. We are really close to each other, so it is really painful living away from home.  I can hardly wait for the trip. We started planning sometime in May and my Mom has been counting days ever since =) I look forward to spending quality time with them. I am also super excited about all the Indonesian food that I'm gonna eat. I've been craving these food for a while:  Kwetiaw Akiaw Mangga Besar (image from foodspotting.com ) Hokkian Noodle (image from makanmana )     Sate padang (image from AIS MIT website ) and much more! Seriously, Indonesia is a heaven for food lovers. Especially if you love spicy food.  In addition to travelling back to Indonesia, me and ...
