back to the hometown (buffet unnecessary)

So, tonight is the night that i depart for china... for a month.
i'm quite excited to go back to where i was born, and to go back to see my grandparents (who raised me from when i was 2-8). I haven't seen them in a year, and I think it'd be nice to visit them once more before I head off on my own adventures in college.

I gotta say, I've had quite an overwhelming day today. Basically, I wake up, and I find that my Iphone 3GSweetie <3>sound effects and flashbacks for the portable machine that is my fictional baby. I love this thing. So, i silently (out of respect) and carefully trasferred the lifeless, limp, cadavre into its little sarcophagus labeled "iPhone 3Gs." Then, I did the deed. That's right. I called my dad. This is what he replied to my "how do I bring my little frankenstein baby back to life?" dilemma:
"WHAT THE @(*$ IS WRONG WITH YOU? THAT THING, I BOUGHT THAT THING 5 @)(*$)(*#$ DAYS AGO. WHAT THE @)#($* DID YOU DO? GET YO BUTT OVER HERE. WE HAVE TO GO TO THE APPLE STORE"

so we HEAD onto the apple store, and damn, this is the first time i've seen my father so mad at me.
well , which makes sense.. this little "baby" of mine isn't thrifty. It cost 500. ):
MMhmm back to the story. So i'm at the apple store, and one of the representatives comes to my rescue, and says " i'm sorry, you're going to have to pay 200... our general manager said so.."
AND I WAS LIKE,
" ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THIS THING IS NOT WORTH.. 500+200! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! IT's not like it's an ACTUAL baby!"
So there i was, totally distraught. Contemplating about whether or not if i should take the leap, work for my dad for FOREVER, earn his forgiveness, and the 200 dollars......
THEN, OUT OF NO WHERE. AN ANGEL SHOWS UP. well not exactly. but he's quite an angel to me. This angel is the guy who helped me with my 3GS transaction the first time. He saw my little cutie laying dead upon plastic, and said " let me see what I can do."
SOMEHOW, he got me a hook up! SO, FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE screen change.
I honestly will never forget his kindness. OH, I show eternal gratitude, the doode is getting presents. ( not as bribes, but as... a sign of.. my forever indebtedness to him...). He is amazing.
I hope he gets whatever wish he wants GRANTED. Damn, he deserves it.

okay so, that is my day.
woo hoo.
haha
and now it is t minus 5 hours before i head for the airport.
and i'm only about 1/2 done with packing.
i hate packing, don't you guys hate it too? You never know what to bring, and you want to bring EVERYthing (just in case), and yet, obviously everything isn't going to fit into one compact suitcase...
THEREFORE, time to do some thinking, and see what is essential for my trip.
au revoir, mes amis importants.
