Happy Halloween!!!

Can't believe it is October 31 again! After painful trip to my dentist, David & I went to Edmond to do some real candy distribution with our parents. Finally, I get to experience the wonder of Halloween and seeing how many wonderful and beautiful... but some with creepy costumes are there to celebrate this day. I love seeing them in costumes. We provided lots of candies and comic books... ranging from avengers, spiderman, mary jane, and star wars. Children loves them. I really encourage to have all children grow into reading something that they enjoy.

Too Bad

I made it to the selection stage among 50 people as soon as I get into the assembly hall an hour and a half. I was the last 6 people that stayed in the courtroom during the jury selection plus the alternative. But after 2 days in the actual courtroom and listening all the questions and answers, I did not get picked :( It was pretty dissappointed since it is a pretty big case. Murder 1st degree.... it is pretty scary stuff but justice must be served. Anyway... back to work as usual and who knows someday I will be an actual jury. I was so surprised that there were a lot of people that don't know anything about downtown OKC especially after living here for so long or even were born here. It is pretty sad because there are lots of good places to visit and great places to eat but mostly they close before 6pm CST. So If you need a tour of downtown... I'm there. Afterall, I work for Oklahoma Tourism Department :)

My Civic Responsibility

October 16, 2006 is my sista birthday... called her last night since it is 12 hours difference between US and Indonesia. SO... HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS! I wish you have a wonderful birthday.
It is also the day where for first time I perform my civic responsibility. It's my turn to be in the Jury Duty. It is so exciting and big. I just hope that I will be picked pretty soon. It's pretty boring when waiting in the assembly hall but fortunately, I didn't have to wait too long this morning. I'm in the pool but not yet picked. We'll see what will happen tomorrow. I hope that it will be exciting.
Some tips for jury newbies in Downtown OKC:
1. Arrive early, since the parking will be a nightmare. Park as lowest as possible to the ground floor in parking garage. If you park on the top, it will take you approximately 2 hours to get out when the day is over.
2. Take concourse if raining/during winter (map is available at the entrance).
3. Bring breakfast bar if you are in a hurry & don't have time to stop.
4. Bring a small bottle of water, you can refill it at the fountain.
5. Bring something to read. If you have... fill it into your PDA with ebook. If you don't have then bring a thick book, a thick magazine, or a thick comic of course....
6. If you have... Bring Ipod/mp3/walkman/cd player (small enough to put in your pocket or purse).... LOAD IT with music &/movies.
7. Turn off your cell phone/any device that makes obvious noise.
8. Pay a real close attention to everything.
9. For Lunch, there are lots of restaurants & places to eat. Ask deputies or somebody work downtown for directions. Try to stay close to the court house. Don't wander off!
10. Answer every questions honestly.
11. Just have a good positive thinking & attitude that it will be fun & interesting.
Well, that was the excitement I have for today. We'll see what happen for tomorrow. Later!

Wonderful Weekend

Time went by so fast. It's been a year since we got married. Got engaged May 8, 2005 then got married October 8, 2005 to be exact. David & I had a wonderful First year Anniversary, celebrated on October 7, 2006 since October 8 is a Sunday. He had to work at night. It was a full day & night activities... You know what I mean :) We tried to cover everything and reminisced all the stuff that we had since the first time we met.

We went to Bahama Breeze to have dinner where he proposed to me last year. Then after about 3 hours dinner (since we talked and talked and talked, we didn't realize time flew), we went home to exchange our gifts.... First year, I believe it is "Paper". Gift certificates are perfect for this :) Dave loves papers like books and comics.... I, on the other hand, not much of paper user anymore... PDA technology evolves around me so whoooo hoooo I was soooo surprised that I’m now the proud and official owner of the 80GB ipod. Love it!!! And I think my honey deserves to have another wonderful year from me... don't you think? :) Till the next anniversary... hehehe...

So after I ran around the house with my ipod in my hand, I calmed down. Now, it was time to eat our top of the wedding cake, it was delicious... you know why??? It was the exact replica of the original... that's why it was tasty. We didn't do the after a year thing cake since we believe why do we have to eat "not so good old frozen cake". Not so much into that... While eating cake, we watched "Picture Perfect". Our first date movie, it was August 5, 1997. Oh my... that was when??? Then after we finished watching it, we continued down the memory lane into our Wedding Video. It was wonderful; we got to re-live it again. We saw lots more stuff that we didn't see at that time. When we finished with the movie, we finally realized that it was 3am Sunday morning October 8. So this story ends here... there will be no comment for what happened after 3am ;)

After 4 hours of sleep... I woke up, wide awake, happy and it is still October 8, 2006. By 1pm, went to see Mom to prepare for Susan's Baby Shower. Anniversary and baby shower at the same day... full day of happiness... After it started, Dad could not wait to be away from this house full of women and kids. He went to see Dave and Scott and spending time at Borders.

The party was great. Food, games, cake..... got my second other kind of cake for the day... what a great diet for me :) It was fun. Finally 4pm, everyone left. I stayed with Mom until Dad came home. I went home and found Dave with Books and DVD.... He was so happy. It was his turn to run around the house.... We talked for awhile and it was time to watch "the Amazing Race" while Dave took a nap. Then "Desperate Housewives" came on... woke Dave up then watched the show. I guess we both missed the episodes when it started this season so we didn't know what's going on... Oh well... till it was time for Dave to leave work and I went to bed....
Good night Sweetheart!

P.S. We would like to thank you for all of you who remembered and gave us all the calls, congratulations, wishes, and cards for this special anniversary. We love you!!!
