finally my parents left for CA yesterday and today i've been packing all day. here are some of the monetary stuff that i've found while packing: a 2-year old check worth of 64 bucks (i don't know if i'd be able to cash it since i know that suz has had her account closed here in chicago), a few hundred dollar bills (wow, it's really nice to find a few hundred dollars being lost somewhere in the stacks of papers in my room), many love cards collected in my college days, and a few bills that sums up a thousand HK dollars (i think that would be around 125 US dollars). it seems like as if i'm leaving a trail of cash in my place. with all this lost $$$ i found, i think this may be good enough for me to get one of those digicams! perhaps i'll get one soon this week! such a blessing for me to leave unnoticed on these cashes around my condo. i'm just glad that no one found 'em when they were in my place!

anyway, when i told my parents about my plans to NZ, they asked me if they don't mind joining me for this trip as they would love to visit NZ to visit their friend there so they'll probably just hang out with me in NZ for a week and i'll be on my own for another week there. i'm not sure exactly when i'll be taking off to NZ, but i'm hoping that i can leave on 2nd week of march. it's likely that i'll be hauling heavy loads of my stuff to nyc this week maybe thursday or friday. no, i still haven't found a new tenant to fill up my condo yet. so keep on spreading the word about my vacant condo for rent!

wow, it sucks to be on 56k modem here, but at least it discourages me from hogging online for so long and get my ass moving for NYC and NZ!
