Poor mom waited for me for nearly 2 hours! The bus got delayed because of rain+traffic…also the driver didn’t seem to know how to get to Oakland! We were scheduled to be at Oakland by 630am but we only got there at about 720am!!! It was jammed up all the way going onto the BayBridge. Madness!
There were no means to contact mom. Even if I did use my phone, she didn’t have one. She couldn’t call me through pay phone either, right? So she patiently waited for me at the station on 1st Street. Must have been worried!


Chocolate chip bagel with cream cheese at Noah’s Bagel, near Embarcadero bart station.


In the Chinese saying, they say bring money along for just-in-cases…mom gave me this last Sunday to keep with me while traveling on the bus. *haha*


The stuff I blew my money on at Michael’s…the back portion after the squiggly eyes are Hazel’s.

Steve in his favourite spot.


Seafood buffet in FosterCity(?) as a “farewell” dinner.

It is a very cold night! I love the cold weather…last night to cover myself with the Penguin printed fleece blanket while watching TV, last night to tuck self into bed under the Dalmation printed fleece blanket. Do this back home, you’d get a heat stroke or something (I don’t use the AC mah! Think global warming!).

Mom’s helping me pack my bag – she’s experienced. *hehe*
