Been super busy at work lately, nothing new there. Aside from the countless number of emails, meetings, classes and fire fightings, I also made a trip to Atlanta, a trip to Cashiers North Carolina and a trip to Boston, all since my last blog entry. Frequently, in the midst of going thru airport security or rushing to the gate, I’d encounter events and things that really amused me -- an obese guy accidentally let out a fart as he bends over to pick up his bags, or some hot chick in Orange county getting booty searched by the airport security… at moment like this, I’d always hide my smirk and make a mental note to remember to write about it in my blog, but, the reality is, I seldom do.

My actions can never catch up to my intentions.

To end this pointless blah-blah, here are some pictures I took with my new, badass Leica!! Loving it! Thanks to my baby Viv for the wonderful birthday gift! Xoxoxox Muuu-u-a-aaaah!

Seconds before midnight, I frantically told Vivian to ask me about my age:

Jiaying: “Quick!! Ask me how old I am!!”
Vivian: “Baby, how old are you?”
Jiaying: “29!!!”

Yeah, that was the last time I can claim to be a twenty-something.
“12:00” appeared on the microwave’s clock, shit… I am now officially “over the hill”.
Can’t really tell the difference tho, everything felt the same, I guess there is really a life after 30’s. :-)

Seriously tho, I would like to thank my mother, this is really a day for her. I thank her for putting up with me kicking and punching in her womb for 10 months, I thank her for enduring the hours of labor in agonizing pain, I thank her for patiently raising me throughout the years... Love ya mom!

And happy birthday to me!
