Yesterday afternoon, I was eating a little bit too indulgently. The wakeup this morning is not very easy, a little doubtful about this 5am miracle thing. I think I need to fast for a day, but I do have the dinner plan with Yuerong and her family.I  don't want to eat, at least for now. :)

I was pretty productive yesterday.
1. Registered Liya and Kai at ACE. Although I have some hesitation about sending them there. If my work keeps on not busy like now, I might regret putting them there.
2. Called Blueshield and straightened things out about the urgent care bill. That has been sitting there for a while. I am happy to get that done.
3. I went to office depot and returned the CD-Rs, those have been sitting there for a while too. Returned but I bought a three-whole punch inadvertently b/c we have one at home from Costco. need to go back there to return.
4. Cleaned up the pantry a little bit but didn't feel that's a productive thing to do as I need to work on the RE prep.
5. Sent evite to the group for Friday party and Jodi for BBQ.

Liya's Most Fun thing: making stuffed animal at art camp.
Liya's happiest thing: going to the art camp.
Sad moment: leaving the art camp without finishing the stuffed animal.

First blogspot at 5:30
I came across Jeff Sanders 5 am miracle. It was so inspiring that I decided to give it a try.
My morning routine in the future will include blogging/reading for 30 minutes at 5:30 and plan out the day.

Kai's funny words yesterday:
Mommy, can you remove the combo from my pizza?

Game before sleep with Liya:
I think of a person/food, you guess.
We both thought of YueYue.
Liya liked the fruit salad Shirleen made. I thought she would say icecream/cookie.

What's the most fun thing you did today?
Bodyboarding

What time were you the happiest?
When Yueyue jiejie came and went bodyboarding.
Also, when 妈妈亲亲我。

What made you unhappy/sad?
Actually two things:
1. When Yueyue jiejie left after they came back from the beach and took a break at our house.
( I didn't think she was sad because they didn't get off the couch 送送客人, I guess it's kind of cultural thing）
2. When Rowen's grandpa kept saying: don't put your head under water!
I explained to her that Rowen's grandpa was from Korean and he learned 狗刨 first and that's the way he swam. Next time you feel frustrated, just tell him that you learned swimming from the teachers and they asked you to put your head under water. Liya said, yes, that's what Rowen said, dog paddling.
Liya did admit that Rowen's grandpa said another thing which is "true", i.e. He said don't drink the pool water. She meant which is right.

Reverse New Year Resolution

Yesterday, I suddenly realized that the year was almost over. Only two months left. I decided to stop using wechat so much and move to the blog.
I thought of this reverse New Year Resolution idea. Here are some resolutions, or to-do-list.
1. Finish the third real estate express class. It will be even better if I can take the exam before the end of the year, at the latest, before my birthday.
2. Organize photos.
3. Work out 5 days a week, for at least 30mins.
4. Check pay stub and decide what to do with tax.
5. Organize cabinet of paper work.

6. Finish reading 2-5 books.

Back to blogger

三年多不用这个blog了，现在又回来了。

记录些小事吧。

丽亚学中文的热情让我感动。做暨南大学的练习册，10pages, maybe coz it was new and easy. 后来又做ccs的录音作业，后来又要求读中文书。读了哪吒闹海，学11课四五快读的字。读中文书的时候居然要求我不要英文解释。
