Well, my mom's been gone for almost two weeks now, and things are going well. I'm keeping myself fed on ham sandwiches and spaghetti. The house is a little dirty, but I'd say we're doing fine. I've also been working for two weeks now, and things are going well. I'm starting to understand what I'm doing at work and able to fix some problems, so that's good. Got some friends to hang out with at lunch, and just joined a new gym, so everything's going according to plan.

The newest craze to hit the Kwa family has been the board game, Settlers of Catan. Anyone heard of it? I've been going to my cousin's place every week to play this game. We play like 5 games every time, and each game taks about 1.5 hours. Last weekend, I was over at Flora's till three in the morning playig Settlers. It's a pretty fun game, now that I actually win once in a while.

Well, my mom's heading to NYC and San Fransisco today, and she's gonna be gone for three whole weeks. I dunno what's gonna happen to the Kwa household at 46 Devonsleigh while she's gone. Will we be able to find a way to feed ourselves and keep the place clean? I really don't know. If I don't have any new posts on this blog for the next couple of weeks, someone should send the police over to our place, just to make sure we're still all right.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend. I had a great weekend, with lots to be thankful for. Good ol' Rach came for a visit this weekend, so her, Neeta, Eric and I got together on Friday to hang out. Went to the Keg for dinner, and just hung out at Neeta's afterwards. Team ESL (Eric and I) lost by a single point in a game of Taboo, which sucked.

Saturday was fun. Got up early and went to Congee Wong for lunch. It was the girls' first time at Congee Wong, and I'm glad they weren't disappointed. Did a little bowling, and went back to Neeta's to make a nice Thanksgiving dinner. After dinner we went out to watch The Departed. I thought the movie was really good, and I'd recommend people watching it. On Sunday we made a stop at Pacific before seeing Rach off to the airport. Yeah, it was a fun weekend, and it was really good seeing Rach again.

In other news, I'm really thankful for my new job. Today's the marks the end of my first week here, and I'm just really excited to be working again and to be doing something productive, like writting to my blog and checking emails.

The second Harry Potter book, done and done!
