I have been so deprived
I have been so deprived of internet connection, it's almost a little pathetic. I couldn't be able to explain how happy I am to be wired again, and even if it's only for a little while. BUT, there is a lot to talk about, so here we go, starting on Wednesday, Dec. 17
Wednesday
Cousin and I fly to Boston for my bro's wedding. Get a "nice" surprise to find out that he has rented me a car and wants me to follow him in the dark while it is pouring rain. Not exactly the best way to get into town. I almost get run over by two cars as I switch lanes really fast to catch an exit. Needless to say, the drivers of those cars were not happy with me and made it known (ie, honking horn for at least a good ten seconds...doh). Oh! And I watched Lord of the Rings. Orlando Bloom's role was very small *sniffle*. Hehehe.
Thursday
Mom, Szulun, and I were supposed to go sight-seeing around Boston, BUT as I was about to turn onto a road to get to the access road to the highway, some lady rear ends me HARD. Because I was driving a rental car, and we hadn't put me as a driver, I had been extra careful. Since I was merging onto the road, I figured I would take it safe, but apparently the lady behind me did not feel the same. My car was fine, but her car was hurt pretty bad -- both of her airbags deployed, and her windshield broke. My mom and I had our seatbelts on, but apparently since I forgot to remind her, my cousin did NOT have hers on and suffered from severe whiplash. For some odd reason, maybe b/c I am bitch, I didn't feel THAT much(for her, that is). I was just upset about the whole accident even happening, and then my cousin wanted to go the hospital even though we all knew that it was just whiplash. I was seriously hoping that the lady and I would just exchange insurance information when the damn police came, making it infinitely more complicated. Me, being the idiot, told the police officer that my mom was driving (since the lady said she would say so too, but then she backed out), and I got a SEVERE lecture from the police officer (ie: "I could arrest you. This is a severe offense...etc") *sigh*. That made my day even worse. But anyway, my cousin then went to the hopsital and got cat scans, x-rays done. I just have to bitch for a moment, but it was SO unsevere that half way through, she said she had to go to the bathroom, and the nurse just TOOK OFF HER NECK BRACE, and was like "go for it." Sorry, that can't be that serious, right? But yeah, basically, the whole day was ruined. Oh, and I pissed off my mom when we got to the hotel b/c I wanted to go the gym (the whole relieving stress thing) instead of the mall. She was not thrilled with me. Boo.
Friday
Went around Harvard and MIT. Went to the mall and spent some mad money getting pedicures and manicures for my mom and me. Never did it before, the pedicure was super fun, the manicure wasn't really worth it. But I think my mom really enjoyed it, so it was pretty nice. Kind of a bonding experience. Sort of funny b/c usually it's the mom who takes the daughter to enjoy these sorts of things. But, it's always me taking my mom to try out these random things. I definitely think my mom desires it. :) Anyway, afterwards went to pick up my Dad at the airport. We went to go eat at Legal Seafoods. It was mad good. I really like their lobster. Too bad I didn't order that (stole half of it from my mom). But nevertheless, it was super yummy.
Saturday
My brother got married today! We got up pretty early, went and got my makeup done at Prescriptives at the mall (although I think that American style of makeup is totally different from Asian style). Did my own hair (it wasn't up, to the bride's disappointment, but what the heck, I have short hair...). Yuping (the bride) did her own makeup. She's so pretty (and my brother is so lucky). The wedding itself was very nice. Rich and Yuping spent a lot of time making it really nice. Got to ride a limo, which was fun too, kehehe. The wedding reception was pretty good too. Rich sat Yuping and our family up on the stage, so that was sort of weird. But, the food was pretty good, leading me to believe that the food was pretty expensive (since it was held at a hotel). Overall, it was very nice. Tiring, even for me, so I can imagine how tiring it was for Rich and Yuping. But, there is only one thing to say, CONGRATS!!!!
Ugh...getting tired of updating. Think I will write more later. :)
