MN Orchestra – Brahms German Requiem (Ein Deutsches Requiem)

Comments Off

This evening after our dinner I asked DB if he wants to accompany me to this performance on March 2, 8 pm at the Minnesota Orchestra Hall. His facial expression was enough to tell me I have to go by myself. His expression was as if I poisoned him. Yes, that bad.

He didn’t bother to ask me what the performance was about. I asked my aiyah brother about it a week ago and he recommended I should go for this performance. He said the “ein deutsches requiem” is performed once in a blue moon because it requires quite a big chorus. It is about 75 minutes long and has 7 movements and it’s sung in German. There is an English version but it’s hardly ever performed. It has become the signature piece to remember the people who died in the September 11 tragedy.

Now I have to find someone to go with me. If not, I will have to go on my own. Gotta do it quick tho as the good seats are running out.

A favor from a friend in M’sia

Comments Off

We were watching CSI last night in separate rooms – I was in the bedroom watching and reading my text book at the same (like I got a lot of reading done, huh?) and DB was watching on the big screen with the surround sound all on HIGH. Towards the end of the show, his cell phone rang and he ignored it. Two minutes later, it rang again which he ignored it again. Less than 10 seconds, the damn phone rang again and he let out all the f-enheimers and answered it. When he is into his favorite show, he will not answer the phone whether it’s landline or cell.

He answered it and conversation went on passed 9 where his other favorite came on – ER. When he was done with the call:

DB: Guess who called?
Me: God knows. Who the hell was it?
DB: Marial…
Me: Shit, what does she wants now?
DB: Same thing from last year. She asked if we could help her if she comes over here.
Me: What sort of help is she asking for?
DB: She wants to come here to work. She will get her way here and she would need to live with us and work. She will leave her kid with her mom in Sungkai.
Me: Did she get her visa done yet?
DB: Nope. Wonder how she’s going to get that done especially if she has a open-ended ticket. Remember how difficult it was for you to get a visa – three tries. Maybe it will be ok for her since she came here before.
Me: What did you tell her?
DB: I told her to get her visa first then call me and we will talk about it. I’m hoping she won’t get the visa.
Me: Lets say she got the visa, we need to accommodate her, and how in the world she’s going to file for alien work authorization with INS and a social security card with a tourist visa?
DB: Son of a bitch!!! I knew this was coming from her soon.
Me: Lets not worry about it till we hear from her. (Fucking-eh!!!)

Something to look forward to in the near future.

Anniversary!

Comments Off

Yesterday was our 10th year wedding anniversary and I forgot about it. I remembered it last week but this whole week, I totally spaced it out.My co-worker and I went for MS Access training this whole week and then doctor’s appt yesterday and I still didn’t remember the big ten. When I walked out the house, DB gave me a card and I asked him “What is this for?” Duhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Crappo, man.

Got to work, went upstairs to the convenience store to get DB a card. All the store had were shitty cards. I went on with the day and then a call came from the receptionist that I have flowers in the lobby. Oh man, didn’t expect flowers from DB.

After work, drove to Rainbow and got him a card, a tray of shrimp and a strawberry shortcake. When I got home I gave him the surprised purchase, he said I knew you were up to something. No emails or calls. You don’t have to do that, you know.” Shit man, I felt so guilty for forgetting it.This weekend, we will be going to either Viva Italia, Houlihans or Jakes.
