Today is Monday, December 27, 2004. I have to work on my webcourse project but instead I have been surfing the net. Jas and Donnie sent me a WalMart gift card and boy, did I have fun at WalMart yesterday. Everything Xmas was 50% off. It was really fun. I actually bought an M&M dispenser. Jas told me that she would like to have that once I am bored with it. I don't think I want to use it. It was just cute and 50% off. I could not resist that. I am afraid I have got the American consumerism disease now. Luckily, I topped my shopping off by going to Goodwill. I will go to the antiques store next. That sometimes can be much cheaper.

I sent Donnie some information about nonyas. Boy, after reading my email to him, I realize how mixed up Jas and Rowena are--Chinese nonyas, Chinese traditional, kelabits, English background, U.S. culture, and education to twist their brains. No wonder, they are so interesting, bright and independent. Oh, boy. Life is sure interesting around them. I myself have to learn to be happy about the cultures assimilated in myself. Have to go now. Too touchy feely to stay for long.
