Woke up bright and early.. I really wanna go back to bed.. but Steve asked me the previous night if I would like to follow him to work on a house and see what it is like.. They will be putting up dry walls… It sounded really interesting and fun and so I said yes! Made myself some sausages and egg and toast. Typical American breakfast.. ‘cept that most are lazy.. and they just eat cereals…. Reason why they eat cereals is because they are lazy.. kekeke.. pour and pour.. and walla.. breakfast.. so.. we went over to Home Depot first to rent a Dry Wall Lift.. u basically put this huge piece of board on it.. and then u jack it up to the wall and then u drill it in.. We got there early.. waited half n hour for the owner.. and they put me to work immediately. I am to pull out all the nails on the ceiling.. and drive any that is sticking out that cannot be pulled cos the head snapped.. in.. to make it all flat.. I din realize the importance of this step until they started drilling the walls in.. and u get a bubble.. it is caused by the unevenness of the nail behind… and the board crack.. not that it’s a big deal.. but its not perfect…. But it was fun hammering away.. and destroying the old boards.. and tearing them apart.. The owner was amazed at how fast we work.. And now I truly understand why everytime we see in the News.. during an earthquake or typhoon… the house is usually in shambles.. and like cardboard.. cos it is really like cardboard! Super flimsy.. and everything is plaster..

Finished that.. and we went home.. had hamburgers for lunch.. was trying to do my emails.. but anna and Isaac wouldn’t let me.. grrr.. I’m really slacking on my mails.. I’m just so tired. And I hate to type a half fuck letter.. cos I usually dun  understand what the hell I’m trying to say.. anyway.. I finally got a few done..  in between having Isaac crawling all over me.. Anna taking my chair away.. dragging me to watch Star Wars Episode 2… and asking me to spin them arnd in the chair.. haha.. I tried to snug an eye shut.. to no avail.. Steve and Suzanne finally came back.. they got me the beer that I asked for tm’s party.. Hoegarden.. NewCastle.. and baileys.. and the ingredients for making Spring Rolls!! I’m gonna be making spring rolls for tm’s party!! It’ll be my first time doing it.. and I really duno how it will end up.. ahha.. the ironic thing is this.. I go the recipe from an Ang Moh.. haha.. I got it from Fran.. she taught me how to do it… Imagine this.. Chinese asking n Ang Moh how to do a Chinese Dish.. I should go kill myself!! Haha.. Any awy..I started on it right after dinner.. I began plucking off the heads and tails off bean sprouts.. Anna offered to chop things up for me.. I gave her the sobbing task of doing the onions.. I did the water chestnuts.. and I chopped and sliced up the Pork.. Marinate it.. stir fry it for a while.. and I did the stupidiest thing.. haha.. I’m suppose to take it out after that.. and put in the veg.. but I din.. I just throw everything in together.. haha.. lazy bum.. n I couldn’t stir it up cos the pot was so full! Anyway.. I finished up.. it smells really nice.. drained out all the juice.. saved it for tm as cabbage soup.. it is really yummy!! And put away the dishes.. and washed those that cannot fit into the dish washer.. and clean up the basin.. and I am a happy dude!! Haha.. Tried to log on and get Rhonda’s no. to call.. but the connection was off.. went to shower and came back.. finally got the number.. but the Sheraton staff was so rude!! I called…they pick up.. I told them that I’m looking for who and who.. they asked for first name.. and last name.. and without saying anything.. they just transfer.. I dun even know if there’s such a person and they are going to transfer me or wot.. but all I heard was a click.. ring.. and another click..guess whoever is on the other end of the phone lifted it up and put it back down again.. oh well.. I couldn’t get anybody to drive me to new york.. else I’ll be able to meet up my cousin there. Which would be really neat! Anyway..there’s always another time..

Thoughts of the day: I really should be trying out more Chinese recipes.. It should be fun! I like cooking!
