2013 April Asia trip
At train station again, leaving Nanjing to shanghai , just realized I almost spent a week in Nanjing, did not feel the time pass by at all, just too many things to do and people to see, on the other hand, if this is my life, I should just slow down and enjoy what I am doing . Next time I know better.
Took the flight from London and Frankfurt, arrived shanghai on 27th March, spent one night, slept from 2:00pm almost all the way to next day. long rest, i completely recovered from jet leg.

30th, he does not feel good on the stomach , we went to supermarket, bought food and went to my mum's place to cook break first . He impressed me without complain the cleanness of the kitchen . But I felt so bad and wish I can stay longer to replace everything with clean kitchenware. Cook was fun, food he made is always good. I really wish parents can live better, I got to do something when they come to live with me.
Lunch with Wu ying yu, very nice and peaceful, afternoon, meeting with office. As normal, I push the team in a hard way, I know have to make a nice peace with the team, but I am always much faster and they are very slow, there is a lot needs to be done . To establish a company is an arts, I have so much need to learn, now is the time , I have to know accountant .

3rd, on the flight to Singapore, see Pierre Yve, our friend, we did not see for long time. . Singapore 1st night starts with a big surprise, i must say it is another memorable trip. My big surprise was arranged by him. He went unreasonable in china and lost trust on me. I am lucky that family are surround me, otherwise, we will have a seriously fight . He arranged this to balance with his bad behaviour . It was an excellent arrangement I have to say .
Flight from shanghai to Singapore is longer than I thought, 5 hours flight, I did not feel comfortable as no preparation to fly so long . Arrived close to 9:00p, Got text message that someone found my purse at shanghai airport, i was so surprise as i did not even know i lost purse. there is over rmb 15,000 inside, liu inn said ever cent is there. Thanks god ! There is more good people in china, I remembered I ate lunch and then left purse there, it is good i did mot realized, otherwise, one more stress for the flight. no time to check in. Went directly to the surprise supper that he arranged, inside Sofitel hotel, 72th floor. Elevator is extremely fast, my ears felt like diving under 17meter, it is a direct elevator , arrived 72th floor in few second .
Restraint called "Jaan" . The layout of Restrauant is normal, but our seats are specially reserved , facing an amazing view of Singapore basin , I believe this is the best view of Singapore . Through the glass window is a basin surrounded by high raised buildings , the one caught my first is an outstanding building consists of 3 tower, top up with a boat , very contemporary and pressure , laser light shot out from the " boat ", form different shape / letter into the lake, if boys use this to make a heart shape , guarantee win the lady , laser light has kinds of colour , went very far, the top foe boat is shinning,I guess is a swimming pool . Waiter told me this is the 14 billion dollar development -- mariner bay sand, 2500 rooms in 3 building, a casino and big shopping centre connected with the lobby , other side of hotel is a park still diet development, Manday bulk vessel parked randomly in the ocean .totally different than I imagined before . Many over 200 vessels , just gear up on the ocean ,no need to close to the shore. More towards the ocean side is a farewell , like "london eyes " , this is the only thing I can connect Singapore with UK .
Meal started , I have say it is very surprise. Pierre yve knew the chef, we got per arranged with secret meals, I really means meals-- 12 dishes ! Everyone of them are surprise , During dinning, i felt same as diving -- my world of food gets bigger, -- beyond imagination.

Chef showed up to say hello, I am not surprise he is less than 35 and full of free thinking . The bill should be about $500 per person. We got an very good discount .
The night is perfect . Next day, we moved into fairmont hotel, believe or not, this is not the best hotel here at all. in front of fairmont is one best hotel called Raffle hotel " , royal family lives here when they came to Singapore . After lunch, we tour around Singapore -- with bus. George's just want to leave, hate to wait, so we just took any bus and got on to see the city, went to the end station and took another bus from starter station , it was fun, surprisely we found toysrus where we need to buy gifts to Pierre's kids . He also booked massages , the spa is very luxury , has it all. Most staff speaks Chinese which is very nice for me . Time for dinner with Pierre and his wife, Restrauant located at old army camps, after army moved out, it becomes entertainment place, very happy to see them again after 4/5 years, long time did not see them . He grabbed us and gave a big hug .
So many information needs to exchange, 3 hours went very fast, they are so surprised to hear George's cancer and we found Fabian, Ann-Sofia repeated told us how lucky they are to get 2 kids after 4 times fail with tube to get babe, i got to record this story, she married twice and did 4 trial, was told no way she can have babe, they decided to adopt a babe girl, choose the name Eleanor , Pierre's father bankrupt his company, Pierre moved to Dubai works for a supermarket, they want to adopted a Russian , but the waiting list is very long, they needs to wait 3 to 5 years. Dubai is too not nice to live, pierre took the job offer from "Angliss " , a over 100 years old food supply company, to be GM of a new division work in singapore, , 2009, they moved and started to live in singapore, one of their friend introduced them to an agent there who suggest to adopt Vietnam girl, faster .
Ann-Sofia went to Vietnam , live with in Hanoi , for few month, try to gain the trust of the Vietnamese , Pierre flew over every weekend. They were told a girl was born at Feb.28th, which is Eleanor day , 4month later, they finally got the baby girl . A beautiful vietnamese babe Eleanor . The biggest surprise is, 14month later, Ann-Sofia astonish to find out she is pregnant ! At 39 years old, she delivered a boy Jean Gabriel ! He is so cute, greenish brown eyes with adorable face, blond hair like the mother. Very funny, I can look at him all day alone and be happy , we constantly met girls wants to kiss and hug him, took him from mum's arm just want to have the boy for one second .
This is the Remembrance Day long weekend , Pierre planned a trip for us to Rawa island at Malaysia , leave Friday first thing, back Sunday night .
5th, we went to the island with the family. Drove cross Malaysia border, took ferry, both kids threw up , one did inside car, one did on ferry. 4 hours later arrived the paradise island .
This is a completely isolated island, located at pacific, different compare to Caribbean water, for the first time, we went to Asia and go to beach. Island is very small, like hai long bay in Vietnam , many small island close by. White sand beach, Clear warm water, coral, sea weed and fish combined to a beautiful ocean bottom. Island covered by forest, monkey and peacock are live inside . Ferry landed at a wooden wharf , the resort build alone beach, mixed with nature so well, i felt the wharf is the only thing with human touch, rest are so harmony and peaceful. No cell, no Internet, simple room, one Restrauant only, no shopping . Really a paradise, no commercial , no stress.
There is less than 50 rooms in total, 30 employee, the Royal family was there for the weekend too, we saw army boat accompanied a beautiful boat arrived island with us at same time. the prince is there, his vila is more further to the wharf with privacy. Funny thing is, we saw someone operate Dome, a small toy aircraft can fly 15min. and video record the ground while fly, player can remote operate it and get the whole video on iphone . There is no privacy anymore .
Island is all inclusive , no need money, just sign room number, simple life. Pierre's room right on the beach, My room located in middle of mountain , surrounded by tropical palm tree , flowers , peacock running between the trees, the court and roofs . 9 of them 3 white colour, 3 male peacock can open beautiful tail . We saw 2 open at same time, very pretty. Eleanor got crazy with peacock, she wanted to see them all the time. She got so attached with me, follow me everywhere , stay with me all the time, want me to carry her and try anything to be close with me . I really felt I have a babe girl . Every one on the island believe she is my babe.
The family plays on the beach , no big waves , extremely warm water, white sand goes all the way into ocean , many fish swimming in shallow water, very close to beach, even babe can see fishes when they play inside water. Eleanor saw a 1 feet long fish with nose like sward fish .
We got 2 kayak , kayaking 45min. Tour around the whole island , there are many caves , we went inside one, very big, clean water show the beautiful bottom, crab, fish, seaweed , very nice. At the end of kayaking, I was amazed by the beautiful coral , for the first time in my life, i saw such large area of beautiful coral. each of them like giant blossoming flower, one close to each other, all kinds of coloured fish, seaweed, jelly fish mixed in between. The coral covered the whole beach. Inside clear ocean water, our kayaking moving slowly above colourful coral in blue water with white sand beach . The natur beauty touched my heart, went inside my mind, carved inside my brain. It is one of the most beautiful things I saw in my life. The coral also looks like stars in the night sky. Covered by a sheer of curtain , ocean water reflect the sun, move slowly with the wind, the beauty of nature is so powerful, made me drunk .
Rest time again, on my own, I went to snooklin , my body went inside another world, see different things, feel differently, surprise, happy , amazed, I all of sudden think about movie aviator , finally understand where the producer got his creative idea. He moved ocean above ground , he must love diving in tropical ocean .
I spent hours to snookling there, I saw a skate , big, grey colour with blue spot, a yellow dot at middle of each blue spot; I saw big purple seaweed like football size, inside purple wrap are lots of noodle size soft stick, orange colour fish "neno" lives inside; many Black Sea urchin , long black needle, 2 green eyes , yellow , orange colour eye ball are all bright . Black colour stands out from colourful sea bottom. Fishes are so colour full, thousands of them, all different colour , different size. A black fish attached my gargle , very aggressive . I went under the wharf, more fish there, ocean blue colour is darker than beach . Like foggy days , fish goes up and down inside creamy baby blue in the middle of big poles .
Pierre went diving with me, i am little scared, but i am so attracted by this ocean and i do trust him, he hold my hand, we diving with no diving suit, first time again in my life . Coral gave me deepest impression there, the cliff under ocean are full of coral , I can not see rock. Just a massive field of coral . 2nd impression is jelly fish, we both got bites , Pierre almost jump when a big jelly fish bite his arm, the rash is about 5 inch long, 3 inch wide under his arm , terrified me. I got bite all over my body, and my hands touch the coral, got a lots of small cut , both hands are rough, one rock scratch my batt badly when I flip my body inside water. Now I understood why we need long sleeve diving suit .
Water has 2 temperature mixed, for a couple of times, I suddenly felt cold after warm water. A total different feeling. Good thing is Pierre dive 65 times last year, he full of experience, he gave me safe direction and monitor time, depth , I just busy looking around . Surprised. Sea booth is not as clear as top. We dived for 1 hour.
After snookling and diving, my body felt so sore. Did don't feel sore for long time. The three days we are there, storm every day in the night, thunder light, pulling rain, but still give a lots of nice day time to enjoy beach. Weekend went so fast, we took the last ferry, left 4:00pm from island , went back Sunday night. We ate together with Pierre and gave him the job offer. We hired him as new CEO for our company. This night, we stayed at mariner bay sand hotel, the best hotel in Singapore, we got to try it.
Checked in at 7th night, hotel lobby is 180meter long, we are at 3rd tower. 42 floor, night view of Singapore is magnificent, lights everywhere, really more than Times Square, room is nice and big, very contemporary . We felt room moving with the wind . Next day morning, we went to the boat shape roof . It is a real pool here, used 50% space of the roof, over 100 meter long , I swim in the sky with all high raised building at background, have to amazed by human's imagination. One side of pool has chairs and palm trees like real beach, other side edge , water over floats , it is a different feeling to swimming outside on top of high building in downtown Singapore. Front of the boat is a huge deck, I can run there, the deck standing out of the tower, no any support underneath , my hair stands up when I think about it .
George's does not like it, too many people. He would enjoy more in RAWA island . I just kept been surprised by how far human mind can go.
The hotel has many nicest Restrauant , also connect with casino , we went inside to play for a while. Local residence needs to pay 100 sin yuan to go in for 24hours, only foreigner can go in free. The control is very striated. Singapore is the place with most control in the world, government control the car, the plate, taxi, the land . So this little country is well roger nixed , very safe, hard to get cheat by any one, local Singapore native people are all millionaire from real estate business, every year, they remove some high buildings top replace with new one, there is no new land . We went to china town , India town, Dutch town, taxi driver said, construction keeps changing the look of the city , they removed lower buildings , keep on building something different .
April 8th Malaysia stay,
8th afternoon, we took the flight from Singapore to kuala lamper, flight arrived, it already dark, taxi to hotel, he started to count the hotel can be wrong, I was not happy as a lot of times he wanted me to book and he complain. Taxi arrived, a beautiful hotel in front of us, I was very happy, went straight to check in- ops, I booked at resident side, not the hotel, drag the luggage, went thought 2 elevator, arrived the other building, residents area, rooms with kitchen, Arrived room, newly built , definitely not a four star, wall is dirty, his complain started, we argued .
next day, i wake up before 7:00am to get another hotel for the day, breakfast place, majority guess are Indian and muslin, first time in my life I saw a lady with black dress and mask to eat, can not help to wondering ow she kept on putting food into mouth without being see, finally, I saw her drink coffee, her left hand left mask , right hand insert the coffee mug under mask, still did not see how is was drunk, but, I know the way now-- she got to lift mask all the time, both hands are very busy, she did very fast . Also saw a man with a couple of wife's, all with black dress all over body, plus long black mask to cover face. Can not even see the body shape, I felt so bad for them. George's kept on saying here has bad karma . I went inside room to take bath, it is a turkey bath with 3 steps down to the bath tub , floor stupidly mad of wall tiles, when little bit water makes it wet, it extremely slippery , I flip and fall on first step on my lower back, bounce up, fall again on 2nd step. Slip down to bath top, tears went out right away, I was screaming of pain, George's run to me and shout loudly " oh, babe, babe" , I never heard this scare voice before from him, he hugged me for a long time to ensure i was able to move my back amd both legs, i was so luck, my batt is very tight and thick , i land on my batt , whole batt are purplish red, very hot, left check has a huge lump, over 50% size of the batt, a smaller lump at right side. He told me later he he saw the way i fall, truly believe I will be paradises or dead. His heart beat so fast, almost a perpetration. Now, I believed the bad karma here and want to leave ASAP.
Arrived new hotel, Mandarin oriental, true 5 star, beautifully build, located right aside the 2 twin tower, twin tower is the 3rd tallest tower in the world, 86 floor high , metal outside, build by petrol company , signature of the city. Lights in the night, very impressive . Rent rooms as office. Petrol here controls by government , corruption is very serious . Hotel is very nice, we felt better right away, 7 restraints inside hotel, after a nice lunch, we started tour of KUL.
Internet said centre market is a must seen, workers blow glasses inside market. we went there to see glasses blow, market build at 1936, lots of stores. Glass blower closed down. We bought a couple of cloth. Felt people here similar as Vietnamese , not reliable . One store was nice, we got all the cloth there, but very pricy. we were told it is hand print, one cloth per print. all other stores sell similar popular cloth , flour print man shirt, made locally , cotton, looks like guy dress. After drink a coconut, we went back to hotel . Called one customer, Tim , he said he will pick us up for supper . Local people eat supper very late here, after 8:00pm, sleep 11:00 to 12:00, wake up normal time, warmer weather leads less sleeping time I guess. No wonder some of them are so fat.
9:30, he picked up us from lobby, went to eat Hakka food, a southern china good, delicious fish, chicken , very nice. He is very interesting man, believe Buddha 2 years ago, main reason is he got black magic by some man, every morning wake up 4:00am and shaking constantly , his master teaches him to pray every day . He believes he killed too many life , as he sells live seafood, life is getting back to him. Lots of Interested stories . He believes next life and previous life, believe ghost exist, believe Human spiritual body can move away by floating to anywhere he wants, his master can pray for 1 week without food. Very interesting , first time heard all these ideas.
10th, needs to fly to Hong kong , time to do some business, this time i learn, booked intercontinental hotel. morning , as planed, we went to tour around twin tour next to us, the next tour starts 1:00pm, we can not make it . we sat down at hotel lobby, drink tea and relax till 12:00 noon to leave to airport,
now, we are sitting at KUL airport, wait for the flight to Hong Kong, take the time to write my story.
I am getting old, this time again, I did not check the terminal and remembered a wrong flight time--one hour later, we left hotel late and had to decided terminal on the taxi, everything is so rush. Hated .
Every time I buy cheap ticket, I should remember it can be another terminal or airport. We left hotel at 12:00. Arrived a small airport at 12:45. Flight is 13:55 departure, international flight , must be 2 hour before, I was in such a rush . taxi driver is nice, he drove 160km all the way to reach airport, itis 45 min. away from hotel . georges left to exchange money as we run out of Malaysia money to pay taxi. I went in with 5 luggage, airport is a mess, full of people, kios for check in is full, When it is my turn, found out they do not use passport to check in,only booking number, i am rushing to switch on roaming, retrieve email . my God, 3G is very slow here for sure, no time to wait any longer, got to go to counter, no sign anywhere to show me the counter, big screen did not show the flight some how, only display the flight till 13:40, ijust saw statues of flight kept on flip to " closed" one after the other. Man, I frock out. Believe I will miss the flight o matter what.
Asked people around, finally arrived counter, like 100people in front of me. No choice but to line up and wait.
In the middle of mess and smelly people, I really think I will never come back ere. This is too much for me. This country has. 42% Chinese , rest are Indian and muslin , lady wear mask, only show eyes. Only 1.8 million in KUL , but I felt all of them are at this airport, airport is old and not clean .
Thanks god , they opened another counter for last minutes check in, we can make it now, got boarding pass, need to pass custom and security, line up again, nothing is right. But, after I run to the gate : gate is not open yet, all passage are still waiting . Ok, now, we made it. Truly. George's is very cool in the all process, I do need him to calm down, can not imagine what I will do if he is not there to calm down, I will shout out to someone for sure.
Check in time, to my surprise again, when we went out counter, there is not gate, we were told 52, then, airplane parked in front of us. people just randomly walk outside, flow the sign , go towards airplane parking lot. It must be so many passages took the wrong flight.
On board , not finish yet, the exit seat I bought does not recline . Can not wait to leave here and will not come back. Plane is moving, George's asked me to move to 2nd exit roll behind , hi, these seats can recline, finally, our bad luck started to flip to good luck.
My flight now arrived Hong Kong . I am so happy that I got intercontinental hotel. This can flip the bad thing into a good thing, Nightmare did not stop, I arrived HK , luggage missing , all George's 2 pieces arrived and mine disappeared . Do not know how many times I said this , but I mean it , I will never visit Malaysia again . This experience is bad .
Tim's words keeps on coming back to me , maybe it is because of my bad attitude towards this city . To know more is really not a good thing . Easy to have more doubt .
There is many flight to HK , hopefully I can see my luggage first thing tomorrow.
HK is much colder than I expected, or maybe we just left 30 degree city, hotel is cooler than outside, I felt frozen. First night, George's wanted to save his dinner to eat at intercontinental , we Lu have Michelin 1 star, he went to other intercontinental , ate t Spoon, a famous french Restrauant . Spoon faces Hong Kong bay, water and high rise building form a nice night view scien in front of us . Deem light, beautiful wine, delicious food, wonderful night, meal is 6 courses, we spent 3.5 hrs in eating, chef came to talk to us and get our business card. We are so full .
11th, Thursday , got up 8:30 to meet Kenneth, he is little chubby now, gained some weight, but still looks sharp, very health. Long time no see, so happy to meet old friend, love the business and friends ship in this way, no misunderstanding . Trust only. HK is raining, we walked to "wing an department store" to buy cloth and make up, I steel hate KUL for this, Lancôme sets , cad800. Do not know why I have hard time to spend , just felt this costs a lot. But, George's supported, he sat aside, ask lady to put on my face so I know how to use it for future . Very sweet.
Got 380 free coupon, we tried to use it, spent another 800 to use the coupon, this is fun . We realized that 3hrs past. 2:00pm, time to see joe. To my surprise, joe has big operation, very interest man to work with . We have to do business with him .
I kept on calling airline, want my suitcase back, the answer is : they flew to Macau , will need to return to KUL, them to HK, no way, I ca get it before I leave HK. Hate KUL so much.
During supper with Kenneth and his beautiful bitch number one wife . I started to realize have to let this go, forget about my stuff and buy new,
Kenneth prepared so much food : red crab, oyster, abalone, lobster, grouper ( best fish ever, 3 days fish from catch, so delicious) , again we fully stuffed ourselves , he got stomach ache . Evening is beautiful . We agreed to meet in France this July.
I met a taxi driver, he has 10cell phone in his car, 4 speaker, 2 blue tooth in each ear , i can not help to ask questions, my god, he came from Nanjing ! first time, i met Nanjing people in outside china , he was born on Jan. 1st, right after 0 'clock , learned 8 years in SAOLIN. he was too naughty at 5 years old, father sent him thereto train. Very funny, happy guy. 12th morning , we ask his taxi to send me to Shenzhen , before I left room, I found a message in my phone , called front desk, ---my suitcase arrived ! I am so surprise and happy ! Felt so good to put on the clean cloth 3 days later !
I changed cloth with a big smile, thanks god, I love to use my own stuff. This make be believe a little : if you remove the hate, things will change to a better way .
our Shenzhen hotel is at nan shan (south mountain ), a tourist place , very relaxing , far from downtown , did not realize how big is SZ now, over 45min. Taxi from hotel to JinTai. Tina bought the gift : 2 bottle of liquor, one is Louie the thirteen , cad4000 ! Meet buyer, ate again. George's felt bad again, looks like he now easy get sick in china . Our hotel is at windows of the world, lots of lights in the night, we ate inside hotel, he brought nice cookie and chocolate, camomile tea, we watched movie inside room, very nice feeling. He said one sentence " hi, the best feeling is to making love or get massage, is to have some one touch your ear and hair" , we are so in love to each other, I told him I will add this in front of my book of this dairy in future.
13th , we changed tickets gain, wait till the owner to show up and gave him the gift, meeting is successful , lots of things to do after I am back to Canada.
Night flight to Beijing, sunday at beijing, I will leave Beijing to Canada on Monday. I miss Seasy .
Arrived Beijing in the night, not that cold, liu qiang booked Novotel , a french hotel chain, 4 star, but was really bad compare to all the one we stayed, small and old, kind of dirty, steam sauna only open from 2:00pm to 2:00am, a milk cost $8.00 Canadian . D not like it, but our favourite Restrauant is inside, very nice food again. Next day in the morning, liu qiang came, brought our cloth for colder weather, they managed to bring from shanghai to Beijing . They really care about me .
Lunch at tang palace, not as good as shanghaied but, very nice . Xiao Bo came to pay an visit of 20min, he is very nervous some how , I felt bad for him. Afternoon, we take it easy, shop a little , Georges choose ice Restrauant again like normal : duck Restrauant for 800years, first time, I heard another method of cook duck , the oldest way in china, heat up oven to certain degrees , switch off the fire , close the door, duck is cooked inside with the heat, people can stuff lotus and vegetable inside duck and get cooked too. The Restrauant has a couple patten of marinated the duck before putting into oven , duck comes out with favour. Food is fantastic , lucky was funny. Georges opened a wine, but Lucky paid for the meal.
The last day of our trip,15th, we went to lobster house , a place sell lobster , made an very nice menu for all types of lobsters , very expensive but taste so so. Owner is a chinese from US, opened Restrauant in US, I am very surprise he is thinly one in Beijing and doing ok . He is opening the 2nd one, we went back to liu qiang's apartment to wait, our flight is 2:00am. His place is nice, 10th floor, has elevator , big enough for 2 to stay, I enjoyed time with them. Georges does not feel good, the pollution in china can kill him, he got pain n past 3 month in his stomach , he felt something grown again, do to know what it is, but believe cancer going somewhere . Next scan is April, 22nd, just one more week, we will have the answer. He wanted to smoke, even one zip can make him feel great. He begs me to get him a cigaret , he really can do anything to smoke. I am worried for him. He does not want to call kids so they do to have to feel they need him, when he is gone, less hurt kids. I knew it is stupid, but do not know how to explain to him. Will let him do the things he like the most. I know my love is increasing daily, when he leave, my heart will broken into hundred pieces . But, we both know , I will survive of this . Maybe because I saw mum's operation too early, the pass away people seems does not hurt me a lot. I also know how much i need him and love him. I am-not ready for this, does not matter when it is happen, Hopefully, he will be there forever,
Took the flight to frankfurter , then, London to Halifax, total only 22hrs, business class, I should not complain .
I must gain 3kg in 3 weeks, time to get rid of all the fat, bye nice food, bye, my family, time to go back to Seasy. This is one of the best trip, no rush arrangement, we are kinds of get vacation but a lots of business is done also.
Time to be back for the business and for Seasy, I can take a break also . Home Sweet home.
Bought parents tickets, no business class, I will keep on trying to get one . But now is direct flight to Halifax, short transit at least, they will like the short time for sure.
Flight arrived London, I am ready to transit now. 6 hours fly is very short after first 10hrs from Beijing to Frankfurt, few movie brings me to Halifax already. I did not work, to my surprise, I just let myself to be relax and go with what I want . Watch nice movie in fact is relaxing, I can get encourage and learn life principles from it, what I have learned up to 45 years old is not enough. I love Seasy so much, but can not give the love proper, she answered my text today with started "love you" , i was touched . The rest 2 years, I will do my best to make us, both Seasy and me into a nice person. Teach her the best I can , learn the best from her, to get brother less from outside and give her my time. Really, I have tO enjoy the time left with my daughter . This idea is getting so strong in my mind. My parents too, this time will be the last time they come to live with me, I have to enjoy it and spend the most with them I will arrange a best birthday for Seasy, we all flight to boston then drive to New York .
Flight is about to landing now, I will go pick up Seasy today. Also, have to check my cherry , My car is not ready, I am going to find a way. Now, I am happy to be back to home,
