Elsa is pregnant
My wife is pregnant with our 2nd child!!
We found out about 1 week ago. We are very happy.
Since Samantha was sick last week, Elsa has been really worry for her. I tried my best to comfort her but still she worries. She is also a bit under pressure at work as she has to deal with a lot of various type of people.
I hope Samantha will be well soon so that she will have one less thing to worry about.

Samantha is sick
Samantha has been sick since last Thursday. She has blister in her mouth and throat. It was very painful to her to swallow anything and thus refused to eat or drink. We had to force her to eat some pain killer medicine reduce the pain so that she can at least drink some milk. It was very hard for all of us to see her suffer. We all rather suffer ourself than to see her suffer. Especially when we have to hold her down and force the medicine into her. She will cry and struggler hard.
Since yesterday, she was starting to feel a little better. We told her we won't force her to take the medicine if she takes it herself. She seems to pause and think a bit but still refused to take it. We even take the medicine ourself just to show her it is not too bad.
Hopefully a few more days and she will be good again.
We all are so worried about you.
Be well soon my baby.

Flash card and Screw driver
4/16/2007 - Still a little cold out - about 50+ now
We bought some flash cards for Samantha last night. Elsa took them out and started to show Samantha. We were very surprise at how much Samantha knows!!
She is a very smart girl. The flash cards are useful for us to teach her in a systematic way as oppose to just teach her when ever we saw something.
We went to a friend's house last weekend and their son could not speak as much. One of the reasons is that he knows sign language. There is no incentive to learn to speak when you can communicate with sign language. We are glad that we did not teach Samantha sign language.
Last week, our old elliptical (exercise machine) broke in the basement. Samantha was playing with the paddle when it broke. She looked at it and thought for a minute. Then she said, "Idea!" and immediately went upstairs to get her little plastic screw driver. She came down with it and said "I can help!" while raising her little finger. She then proceeds to poke at the broken paddle repeatedly. Her screw driver got stuck and dropped into the elliptical chain enclosure. She look at us with wide eyes and said, "Oops" while covering her little mouth with her little finger. I hold back my laugh and ask her what happened. She looked at my wife with her little teary eyes and then started to put her little finger into the little hole where she dropped her screw driver. We immediately intervened and got the plastic screw driver out for her. We both were laughing so hard later in our bedroom. We both think we are very glad to have a smart, healthy and helpful daughter.

Good Friday
4/6/07 - cold out.
I need to work tomorrow (Sat) but we are planning to have a Easter Egg Hunt at our house this Sun (Easter) with family and friends. Samantha is speaking more Cantonese now. She is just so cute - check out the photos on our other Blog site. We love her so much.

What are bunch of morons!
2/21/07 Wed. still snow outside but about 30 degree
Having to deal with multiple companies after losing wallet, I got everything replaced except unable to close my bank accounts. After 5 faxes to 3 different fax numbers and 15 phone calls to the bank. They finally decided to process my fax request to close one of my two accounts, which is not an acceptable form of request since the account were restricted - therefore an actual letter needs to be mailed to their office. Closing the account is fine but they can't tell us where they wire my money. Again, after a few calls to the bank, talked to a few incompetent individuals, the answer were "we don't know where your money was wired to, we don't know who process the wire, we don't know how much was wire and we don't know why we process your fax request". And every time I asked to speak to a manager, they are all "not available". One rep name Carlo Marlius even told me that, "I can get your name and phone number, will have someone to call you back." When I asked who he reports to, he said the "management team" - how idiotic. I demanded a manager name, who he unwilling provided, Brain J. How can a bank tells you that they don't know where they wired your money? That's just simply unacceptable and unbelievable. I think practice inconsistency is their policy and being a moron is a minium qualification to be hired.

Lost Wallet
2/13/07 (Tue). Supposed to get up to 10 inches of snow overnight.
Many things had happened within the last few weeks....
we went to Las Vegas on 1/27/07. Unfortunately, my wallet was lost/stolen within the first hour of arriving to Vegas. I spent the first few hours calling credit cards companies and bank to freeze all of the accounts. I am still dealing with my bank regarding to my accounts.
Oh well, I guess things happen! Have to pay more attention to my credit report now since someone else has my ss# . By the way, Samantha, your birth certificate was also in Mommy's wallet. So, when you get to about 16yo, you should check your credit report too-just in case:)
We also went to the Elmo live show on 2/9/07. Samantha enjoyed it for the first 30min, then she walked around the Fox Theater. The next day, we went out to the hall with Isabel, Sarah and Vivian. Samantha refused to sit down during dinner time. We ended up eating dinner while chasing after her. She did make some friends at the Chinese restaurant though.
Going to the city hall tonight to voice our opinions about frequent power outage at our neighborhood.

Not as bad as I thought!
1/26/07 Friday (very cold, ice and snow)
We went to the Mall last night with Samantha (as promised the night before). The Mall had a lot more people around. Dennis and I must had missed the county meeting they had the other night or maybe we were at a parallel universe (just kidding). Samantha had fun jumping on the virtual game at the center of the mall. She is really good at it now. We saw another dad experiencing the same kind of problem that we are having...kids not follow directions. The dad was speaking in Spanish, I assumed he told his "seems to be" 3yo son to leave, the little boy didn't even look at his dad. He continued to play until he felt he was done. So classic, I guess we are not alone...And Samantha didn't throw a tantrum when we left the mall this time. Well, I told her we will go out again tonight. Mmmm....maybe we need to go out every night for Samantha.
I looked into Ann Arbor Public School Pre-School Program, it seems like Samantha will need to be 4yo by Dec 1 in order to join the class. Will have to do more research because I think she is ready by end of this year to start pre-school.
We are going to Las Vegas tomorrow. Will be staying at Circus Circus. Many people at work have suggestions for where to go for fun, food, drink etc....it will be a fun trip. I have 2 more days off before coming back to work. It will be a nice break for me. Dennis only has one day off after coming back. We are looking forward to it. Will post some pictures after we come back.
