Cherry Blossom in Washington DC

Friday, went down w. Winni and Denny to DC and come back Sunday. I lived in VA in Julia's house. Visit JASW's Sakura Matsuri--Japanese Street Festival, then walked around the National Mall to the American Indina's museum, ate Indian's food for late lunch. Then back to the Memorial area to see cherry blossom. There are so many people there, super crowded. It is hard for me to organize all of the photos at this moment. I will try to organize most of them, and start telling story in this week or next.

Please visit my yahoo album to see some photos I upload today. For other more, I will try to put it up ASAP.

I hate Engineer

I don't know what kind of engineer or survey they are...just don't like their snob attitude at all....Why? Because I didn't have any good experience talking to engineers these weeks...
Especially Today..I just want to request a new drawing..called them 3 times...never call back to me...4th time, I finally find the guy I suppose to talk to. But the attitude wasn't good at all.
Maybe the way I asked question wasn't in a proper way..but I am already "VERY POLITE"...but he still think I am accusing him didn't do the survey correctly...and then told me "I don't understand your question"..repeat more then one time. Then finally said.."I will tell somebody to send you the file..."
This is ENOUGH..I am so pissed.. is all of the engineer think their time is more valueable then the rest of people? Although there are also good engineers I've been talking to, don't have good luck recently...

Illinois...Lost..sigh

The game was good...
Illinois still try to hit 3p but not as luck as past 2 games...
don't know what to say.....UNC block their offense
all of the Illinois players are good..but most of them are seniors..
don't know when will be the next time I see them in NCAA final...
hope won't be long

Congratulation! Fighting Illini

Congratulation...Fighting Illini (another orange team ^_^) goes into NCAA Man's basketball Championship game!! It is a great game last week (vs. Arizona) and tonight (vs. Louisville)...awesome 3p shoot, great defense!!
Although the next opponent UNC is pretty tough, and they play great games, too. I still believe this is Illinois' year. Especially when coach Weber's mother will help them out from heaven!

I suppose to working on grading plan (due Monday) in office (today is Saturday, if I finished it today..I don't have to go tomorrow => Sunday)..but...anyway...I already home, finished the game...writing this journal now :P

And HAPPY Birthday..HsiaoChen

4/3 is HsiaoChen's Birthday....this is the chocolate cake I made for her last year...We were classmates during graduate school, and she is happy married. Wish her have another great year!

Go Illini...Fighting Illini

Tomorrow is the NCAA Basketball final 4...Since Syracuse is kicked out by Vermont in the 1st round...so I cheer up for UIUC (my 1st school in the States). But today (Friday), after boss came back from meeting, he told me that I have to finish the grading by Monday. The final drawing (not 100% final) came into our e-mail around 4:00pm => means there is no way I can get it down today....of course not, or I won't be here typing this journal.

Tomorrow morning, need to go to office, finish the grading plan before 5:30. Therefore, I will have enough time to come home and watch Illinois vs Louisville. => this becomes my motivation to work SUPER HARD to finish it on time.

ps. Today is the April 1 (fool's day) The only person I know got fooled is my co-worker. He read a news about 2006 Fifa World Cup is changing the host country from Germany to USA, so he was super happy...(I don't think it is possible...so check up internet, nothing happend on the FIFA site)
