My Best Wishes

Yes­ter­day… woke up at 5:30 to do the Amer­i­can Lung Association’s Asthma Break­fast with Mo. It wasn’t as fun as last time we did it. There were a lot less peo­ple and less for us to do. The major­ity of the time, we were just stand­ing by the door telling peo­ple to how to get to the con­fer­ence room.

Then I went to CoHo and col­lected bets on the Tran Class Pledge Pool, got a very eager response from the chap­ter. I think we’re going to have to have more of these friendly wagers to raise money and sat­isfy the gamble-​holics we have. Sat around until 3:30 and it was time to take off and go home home for Tet!

Traf­fic on 99 was mur­der, so I missed part of the prayer cer­e­mony. After that, talked with the folks for a bit and then went to a Tet din­ner party at a fam­ily friend’s place. I got $48 from the old folks and actu­ally increased it to $60 play­ing black­jack and six. Looks like the trend of no girl­friend con­tin­ues. Oh well, at least this year I’ll be lucky in money and unlucky in love, as opposed to pre­vi­ous years when I was unlucky in both.

My par­ents decided to leave the party pretty early, so I was actu­ally back home and online at mid­night for the bet­ting mad­ness to con­tinue. Except there was no mad­ness. Just chat­ted in Minh’s New Years cha­t­room for a while and then passed out.

Yesterday’s quote is Bao’s New Year’s wishes to me — 

“Chuc mung nam moi, anh! Van su nhu y; em chuc anh nam moi vui ve kiem duoc co gay vu bu va giau!”- Bao.

Thanks, man! Oh, and for those you who don’t speak Viet, he said, “Happy Lunar New Year, brother! May all things go your way; I hope you have a year filled with hap­pi­ness and find a girl­friend with big breasts and lots of money!”
