Patrick's Diary - 6/1/2016

Today is International Children's Day, democratic nations like US don't celebrate it. I actually received renewal notice for my driver's license from Department of Licensing yesterday. As you may know, the expiration date is always driver's birthday and my current license will expire on 7/8/2016, which will be my 50 years old birthday. So, I can't celebrate this holiday any more. But do I look that old? From this picture I just snapped, I may not be like a half a hundred years old douchebag, yes, I just worked out for almost an hour at the gym
Compared to me on the photo snapped at my parents' apartment in 1985 when I took my first summer break after freshman year at CMUT, is there much change? Back then, I was only 19 years old Objectively speaking, I was pretty cool. On the train back to Beijing from Xuzhou where our college was located, some passengers thought I was actor. In another break on the train back to Beijing, a beautiful girl who had graduated from a college in Southern Province and started working for a big government agency even tried to pick me up. She was probably three years senior and I still remember her name. It's not I didn't like her, for some reasons I forget, I lost her contact information after I went back to my college. Yes, she was very beautiful and in a very good shape as I recall.  Don't blame me that I am bragging. Don't you want to go back 30 years to restart? Being young is priceless. 
I had a lot of things to cover today but managed to leave early enough to catch Sounders' match at DC United, though missed first 3 minutes. That I made some comments might make the players irritated, two young players made two goals at the end with which even both coaches seemed not understanding. Anyway, Sounders won the first road match and got 3 points. 
My rental townhouse rent for May had been delayed to be deposited for a month. My agent told me that he was out of town for quite a while and the local government agency changed payment method from check to debit card, which also caused confusions at his end because he was worried to misplace the payments amongst different clients. The renter is under section 8, so the payment is made by government. I mentioned to my agent this morning that my mortgage on my residential house was just withdrawn, so I would like to use the rent to cover it. Hopefully, he can figure it out tomorrow. Anyway, my bi-week paycheck will be directly deposited tomorrow, I saw the notification on our intranet: You have a new paycheck, which always makes me so happy. 

Yes, NBA Final will start tomorrow night, I will watch it if I can make home on time.
