    • I'm a pregger. January 30, 2012
      Well, the stick showed it, and the ob/gyn confirmed it. So I guess I am officially pregnant now! The baby is in its week 7 and is the size of a blueberry. This week the baby is developing arms and legs. It's mind-boggling a 'thing' the size of a blueberry has hands and feet!Wow, it sounds so surreal! When I took the pregnancy test, I was expec […]

    • Happy Chinese New Year! January 23, 2012
      Yay! The first day of Chinese New Year. This is the year of the dragon, which is probably the most auspicious year for the Chinese, since we Chinese are the descendants of the dragon.Every year during this time I miss my family terribly. It's supposed to be a time for family gathering and I miss out on that every year ever since I moved to the U.S. Sigh […]

      2011 was a year of fun, learning, and growth. In retrospect, it was a wonderful year for us.January: My sister came to visit and slept on our couch for about a month!

    • Story #358: Thanksgiving 2011 November 26, 2011
      Happy Thanksgiving! I had a great time in Las Vegas with my cousins and their families. One of my cousins and her daughter flew in from Malaysia and they drove to Las Vegas with my other cousin and her family. It was so great to see them and get caught up on each other's life. This was the first time I celebrated Thanksgiving with my side of the family […]

    Bored without Sharon….

    By Leighton | May 15, 2008

    Well, today I stayed at home. All day. I was soooo bored! I applied for some jobs online. I studied ASP.Net tutorials for my job. I studied Chinese. I updated my blog. I filled out VISA forms for Sharon. Then…. MY COMPUTER FROZE! It actually has been freezing a lot lately. (Funny thing how we call it freezing when what is really happening is the computer is over-heating). I decided that I had had enough of it so I decided to clean out my computer. I don’t mean erasing files I don’t use (I just stick files I don’t use in a folder called ‘Stuff’). I mean cleaning the dust off of my CPU. Simple enough in a Desktop PC, so how hard could it be for a laptop? Shouldn’t be too hard, I reasoned. 2 hours and countless screws later… I am facing this:
    Turns out that in order to get to the CPU of a laptop, you first have to take out all the screws on the whole laptop, remove the Hard Drive, then the DVD drive, then the Keyboard, then the Screen (yes, the screen!), then the speakers, then the motherboard, then the fan, then the heat sink, then finally you arrive at the CPU. As I had suspected, the Heatsink was super dusty. So I tried cleaning it off, but it wasn’t getting anywhere, so I decided to run to Radio Shack and get some of that Airspray stuff and also the CPU coolent formula you smear on the CPU and the Heatsink. Then after cleaning it up all nice, I put it all back together. At the end, I had a few extra screws and a wierd shaped metal thing. Oh well, my laptop works now and it hasn’t frozen yet, so I am happy! Anyways, what a boring thing to blog about, right?
    Well, if you want something boring to do, try filing for a K1 Fiance Visa. Not only is it confusing as heck, but it is so exciting it almost put me to sleep. @.@ And it is super complicated. I hope I can get it all done in time.
    I wish I could just marry Sharon and be done with it, but there is actually a lot of paperwork and processes that must be done. I love her so much though, it is definitely worth it. Anyways, it is my bed time now (I only got 3 hours of sleep last night, so I’m turning in early tonight (midnight)).
    Oh yeah, you should go check out Sharon’s blog if you haven’t already. The address is http://eewen.co.nr. She has a cool Glog that she made of us, it is the first post I think. Go check it out!
    Short update: I got a haircut two days ago for a job interview I had in St George. I really hope I can get that job. My hair is really short again, like a missionary :X
    And! I added a video of Sharon at Zion Canyon, for all of you who wonder what she sounds like: Sharon at Zion
