Closing one chapter and starting a new one

wow. it's been a while. sigh, such a slacker.

let's see.....where did i leave off.....

urm, yeah. I basically spent the last two weekends of June in SF bumming with Van and the rest of the weekdays sorting out car issues. The week after her b'dae they had a "daddy issues"/welcome new (crazy) roommate party. It was fun - a total sausage fest and probably their best looking party to date. Seriously, there were very few mingers.....although, a couple of super cute guys walked in and pretty much walked back out due to the overdose of sausage. lol. I also unknowingly ended up in a weird triangle of like with this one dude and the new roommate. awkward. She likes him, he likes me, I think they're both meh. Em, you can totally have him. I'm actually glad I've left the country for a few months so I don't have to exchange awkward text msgs. Also, went to the flea market in Bernal Heights. Such a great way to spend a lazy Sunday.

Charl started her internship and William came by to visit during my last week. It honestly could have gone better. Having a friend come visit before relocating is kind of a dumb thing to do. Nevertheless, it all worked out without too much stress. I felt bad since I dragged him around all around the bay area to spend some time with my friends but what can I do when I want to hang out with ppl before I leave? He was a good sport about it but a little too quiet (my friends thought he was either super shy or super weird. lol.). Maybe it was a little too much to introduce him to SF during pride weekend. lol. Which brings me to another point. Pride. It was great and the gays were funny and the pink party was very very crowded. Bad part: we lost William. Seriously, shoulda put one of those kiddie harnesses on him :) I prolly should have had one too. lol. The hilarious part of the night was when Van bumped into her new co-workers; shattering their image of her as a good little asian girl and "outing" her because they thought I was her lesbian partner. haha. Then, on the way home from the pink party, a bunch of gays thought we were together too. lol. In hindsight, we did look pretty lesbian-ish and we have a pic from the next day to prove it. lolz. We were gonna see the backstreet boys perform but they took too long so we went to see the rice rockettes perform. It was an awesome drag show :)

So, that wraps up my SF experience. Totally gonna miss the SF bay area.

The flight to KL was one of the longest I've ever taken. San Jose to LA; LA to Taipei, Taipei KK, KK to KL. as comfortable as it was on business (thank you frequent flyer miles!), having that many layovers is killer. Was barley home 2-3 days when I got hit by some virus that's going around KL. the doc said it was the change of weather but still, I was and currently am super miserable. One week later, the meds are gone but no improvement apart from losing the fever. The second dr's visit and second round of stronger meds seem to be working but we'll see. I'm crossing my fingers because starting a month's worth of hard kuli labour in 2 days time while still sick is gonna suck so bad.

So, yeah. One week in KL and pretty much nothing to show for it. I barely had my fav foods (doc's advice - no oily, no spicy, no fried and no cold foods = no to 95% of Malaysian food ) but I did manage to meet up with some ppl and make it to Sara's engagement thingy today. Sigh, everything feels so rushed. Cambodia tomorrow! eeps!!
