This is the last week for February. We still have no news from the buyer’s realtor if the sale is yah or nay. Apparently according to our realtor, the short sale application was approved by our bank. So what’s the scoop here leaving us hanging. We don’t even know if the buyer has changed their mind on the purchase or they are waiting till spring to move in. We are sort of packing our junk in the house and dealing with the house and car insurance with the insurance company. Right now we have them both in one company. I am thinking of changing insurance company, if possible, since our current one is so damn expensive….or maybe I’m just feeling the pinch now. Whatever it is, the buyer’s realtor better give us an answer coz if it’s a nay, we have to put the house back on the market….and we will have to stay in the house till mid-May. I just want to get out of this house and not pay the home insurance but instead pay renter’s insurance….hell a lot cheaper. Oh well….my new motto is, Que sera sera. Less for me to worry…let the man do all the worrying!

<2010 CNY gathering>
Chinese New Year is here, yet I don’t feel the CNY mood at all….not a single bit. There is no such thing here as a Chinatown crap in Minnesota. Asian stores, yes, there are but the atmosphere is not the same. Honestly I forgot about CNY till I started getting all these “CNY card requests” on FB and started to hunt down the actual CNY date. Pathetic, isn’t it? This is where I remember my dad so much…come every December he will mail me the race horse calender. I will have the calendar right smack in the kitchen.
DB’s and I don’t do anything for CNY either. My friend, Simmie, invited me over to her home last Saturday, Feb 20th, for a CNY gathering amongst her Malaysian/Indonesian/Minneostan friends. It was a nice gathering. DB was suppose to go with me, my driver, but i gave my crud to him thus he was sicker than I was. He got me the directions and I got there save and sound. Small little group but a very lovely group. We had the Malaysian thing of “lou sang”, too! The 2 hot pots were going good….so much food – meatballs, fishballs, chicken meat, shrimp, wantons, dumplings, pork, duck, veggies and so much cookies! I filled my belly up good although I think I didn’t really eat that much coz of my lingeing cold that sort killed my appetite the whole week. I thought I would need to hunt for some weight loss products, hah, guess I don’t need to coz the next morning I was starving….could feel it all the way to my back bone!
Yeah, so this year CNY albeit no mood for it, but the few hours spent with fellow countrymen on CNY, made a difference. Met and made new friends. Thanks Simmie for the good food and company.
