• Yvonne's New Ride

  
  

  So I'm in HK now.  Haven't able to see Yvonne, my cousin, yet but I did have dinner with her parents (my uncle and aunt) and some other family members.  She's my favourite cousin, I think (Alex and Johnnie, you guys are a close second!).  We got along the few times we saw each other when really young.  So not being able to see her as much as I'd like is kinda sad.  Tell her how she's being a bad cousin Ming!  Anyhow, Uncle and Auntie says they're getting her a new car.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  It's either a Z3 or an M3... coupe (I could only find a pic of the Z3), this year's model in silver.  She gets it mid-April.  Gaddamn!

  
  

  The HK ID thing is a go ahead.  It should open a lot of opportunities job wise too.  Ming, make sure you come back before your 3 years expires, I think it is hard to apply for it otherwise.  Anyhow, you'll need to budget about 2 months to get the whole thing processed (you can leave and come back).  Write me if you want more information, but as long as you can prove at least one of your parents are born in HK, and you have all their required documents, you're set.  Since I have to get my fingerprints and photo taken for this HK ID thing, I'm not leaving for SH until Monday.

  
  

  And it turns out that my other uncle's horse is racing again tomorrow so he wants me to go watch.  I don't think it's favoured to win, but I'll bet on it anyway.  Go horsie go!  I don't know if you've ever been to the horse races, I used to think going was a silly thing to do and such a waste of time.  The feeling changes once you have a relationship established with the horse though.  No, Marv, not the kind of relationship you are used to having with horses.  But once you've bet on one, or know someone who owns one, all you can think about is yelling out the number of the horse you've bet on while at the edge of your seats.

  
  

  Happy Birthday Jay
