Relaxing day

This afternoon, my big group had a group outing. We went to the Arlington Park Race Track to watch horse racing! Actually, more fun than that, we bet of who'd won the races! :)


Well, of course I didn't bet too much, and Motorola gave each of us $20 coupon for food and the bet. So I had some "free" money. At first I wasn't that excited about it, but it was proven to be FUN! My boss, George, explained to us how to read the race guide and make bets. They have different kinds of bets: which horse is first winner, which one is second, or which one will be in the first 3 best positions. They have more: which horses will win 1st, 2nd, 3rd position, and all those. Wow.
Good thing I played closely with a friend, so both of us decided to stop at some point and didn't gamble/bet anymore. I had $6 left :)


After getting back to office to get our laptops, I didn't feel like working anymore, or more like I wanted to go home early since it was early, 5 pm! But my friend thought of playing ping-pong.. so of course without hesitation I said yes! ^_^ I love ping-pong. After playing couple times, I actually feel I'm getting better at it hehehe.. finally. Maybe once I got back home, I'll be able to play with my dad better than last year. Oh how I am excited!!


Aah.. so much for the day. I went home and practice my pendet a bit. I still forget some portions here and there, but I think I can manage. Can't wait to perform this Saturday. Though I'm sad some friends whom I expect would come to see, wouldn't be able to :/


Well, we'll see how it goes. Hopefully I won't get nervous ^_^.

Lilis is coming

Meanwhile, my sister is on her way to Midway airport. One of her best friends from high school, Lilis, is coming. She's gonna spend about a week, I think, here with us.
Hope this will be a good weekend. I can't wait for the stuffs we're going to do, or places we're going to visit, but can't wait to finish my TONS of work also :(

Hmm.. I'm thinking of going back to my blogger. Always have the thought of pouring my mind onto it, just never want to make the time to do it :p
I feel down lately though, just cause a good friend of mine at work happen to start giving me lies. I mean, for so many things. Oh my mom knows how much I'm serious in such things, especially with the fact that this is my good friend. Oh I hate it. I don't hate the person, and I won't give up on him cause the Lord won't. But God, this is TOUGH.
I wonder though, why do people lie just to make someone feel better? Not talking about life and death here.
And why do people still lie, while knowing that the other person is aware he/she is lying, and hate that ever more?
