Por Por doesn't hold back!

Yesterday during my weekly visit, Por was going on about how my Dad wasn't supposed to marry my Mom. It was frowned upon because she was a "Leung" and supposedly it doesn't jive with the Ngs?! Apparently, some girl was already chosen for him except that he made a pit stop in Hong Kong and met my Mom. And there was no going back for him. Por also wanted me to know that it wasn't that she didn't like my mom but that the surnames/villages weren't a "match". And don't ask me why she felt the need to bring this up? 

And so the conversation continued until she asked me if I was seeing someone. And I told her yes and his last name is Chin. Is that a problem? And she replies "Who cares at this point? As long as he is good to you, marry him! You're not getting younger!" I couldn't stop laughing because this is exactly what I would expect from her!! 

​I showed her our pictures and she was shocked at how old she looked! And I told her she looked pretty good for someone turning 94 years old!

Thanks to Boston PD for protecting our city on this exciting day of the Boston Marathon! I have a little bit of a personal motive for thanking the police for keeping us safe! Have never felt this protected and safe in all of my life!

What was I thinking? Hip Hop classes!

Ok, I know what you're thinking - really? Hip hop classes? YES....went to my first hip hop class last night with two of my co-workers. It was so hard!! Especially the 20 minutes of warm-up. WTF? I felt like it was a yoga class. And I haven't worked out in years! Anyways, I survived and lived to talk about it. But barely. It was really trying to learn a routine so not something you can actually use at a club. It was pretty comical. 

But hey, as someone told me recently I need to make the next 40-50 years better than the last 50 years! So whether it's learning hip hop or just opening myself up to new friends  and hanging out with old ones. I'm so fortunate to have good people around me!

Sorry, this is a recurring theme but I really can't believe how fast time is going by! Work is slowing down for me as we have a full finance team in place and the Controller took over some of my finance responsibilities. I'm still doing HR and now have time to focus on Operations. 

I'm planning my vacation for this year. Hoping to make it to Puerto Rico, Mexico, HK, FL and hopefully Vegas! The FL trip (Orlando) will be with Nancy and my Dad in October. Going to make Dad walk around with us! There's an international food festival at Epcot around that time so I think he will enjoy it. Plus he's never been to Disneyworld! How ironic - he never took me when I was a kid yet I'm taking him?! 

And one day, I'll make it to Europe but it seems so unsettling at this time. Maybe next year?

    I'm fortunate enough to have an awesome job at a biotech company. I'm also blessed to have the bestest of friends in the world - from Castle Square, ATASK, and Jamie Club - you know who you are! Last but not least, I have a family that are always there for me. 

    Because of all the people in my life, awesome opportunities have come my way - working and volunteering in the community. I hope to continue that work with a little help from my friends.
