First Rejection and Gearing Up

I think I just got rejected by my first full-hearted attempt to get a job. I made it into the "top 10 candidates" pool but apparently if i made it into the top 5, they would notify me by end of Friday (which was almost 2 hours ago).

It's okay. I didn't expect it to be that easy.

In other matters...I am in full vacation preparation mode! 鄭少 and I have spent the past few weeks sporadically brainstorming what we want to do at each destination. Finally, we took yesterday morning to sit down and lay out what excursions to do at each port during the cruise. I've been searching for ways to cheap out at NYC food-wise, admission ticket-wise and shopping-wise (because we're not all Carrie Bradshaw's and can afford a pair of Manolo Blahniks at $500USD a pair). Ditto with Orlando.

And as I sit on my bed right now, covered by my down blanket (my dad says that we shouldn't put our winter clothes/blankets away until we've eaten 五月粽), I can't help but be slightly worried about the heat on the East coast. The other day my 三叔 called (the one who lives in NYC) and told us that they started turning on the a/c.

Whatever. If I could spend 5 hours walking around an extremely crowded Forbidden City in 32C temperature last year, I am basically invincible.
