San Jose and Mooncakes
Last midnight I made a long distance call to my friend Dulcie, who's currently working in San Jose, California. At first she wouldn't accept the collect (well, it was an office). When she finally confirmed it was me she returned my call with a phone card, instead. Nice chat, and her English (and accent) has greatly improved. Wish I could say the same for her TV viewing habits (she watches "reality" shows and American Idol...shudder...).
Tonight the See family had a Mooncake Festival dice-throwing game at their place. I was surprised to have "wins" on all my dice throws (except for the ones where the prizes in that "category" ran out), which more than made up for the 500 bucks I still owe Ma as of this journal entry. Boit got the biggest (i.e. priciest) in the family with the foot massager. I'm not sure yet what to do with the medium-sized plastic container and the glass and pitcher set, but the bag of Chips Ahoy! and Grape Juice I'll keep.
