Finally my hard working is being paid off --> thank god! Yes~~~ I am being accepted by University of Rochester Simon Graduate Business School!!! I was so excited when Stefanie called and told me that she got a good news for me, I kinda sensed it was the good news of my admission to Simon School. I almost screamed out loud on the phone when she said that I am being admitted to Simon School.

I had been waiting for this phone call for two months, everytime I thought about it, I could use one phrase to describe it : "寝食难安"; because I was not so confident about myself: I was not sure whether my GMAT score was good enough, I doubted my working experience wasn't long enough, etc...I was really nervous and afraid that my future would not go anywhere. I was so scared and worried! But I acted like I didn't care that much and  told people that if I didn't get accepted by neither of the schools, I have a backup plan. But be honest, I knew the backup plan was just an excuse to ease my pressure. I knew I would be crashed if neither of the schools accepts me. But thank god! Things turned out favorably --> I am going to be a full time MBA student beginning September 2008!

I prefer to shop at Wegmans at night time, particularly after mid-night, because it is no hassle to find a closer parking spot at night. When it comes to shopping, parking is definitely one of my priority considerations --> I DO NOT like to park too far, period! That probably has to do with my laziness, lol... And of course, Wegmans has other advantages over other supermarkets (ex: Walmart): quality customer services.

One time, my fiancé and I were shopping at Walmart, and the cashier was a fat Africa American (I have no intention against Africa American, I respect them as long as they respect me), she looked miserable, wasn't happy to be there, and didn't even look at us. My fiancé and I were not too happy about her service and attitude, but we didn't seem to care much; we just wanted to go home and make great steaks for ourselves, until we heard "bang", then we realized that the cashier literally threw the steaks into the shopping bag. That really triggered my fiancé’s anger, but he didn't argue with her. As soon as we got in the car, he took out the phone, and called the phone number on the receipt.  He seemed so pissed, and told the on-duty manager about the bad attitude of the cashier, "if she is not happy to be there, why would you put her in that position to piss off your customers, that can only ruin your business and reputation...." The manager apologized to my fiancé, and promised to take action regarding this incident. But we never called to follow up afterwards, but one thing for sure is that my fiancé and I would not be a regular-basis customer to Walmart anymore!

In contrast, I had an exceptional shopping experience at Wegmans that made me becoming a loyal customer to Wegmans. That was about two years ago, I ordered a B-day cake for my fiancé, and told them that I was going to pick it up at certain day. When I got to their Patisserie department to pick up the cake, the employee told me that they couldn't find the cake after twenty minutes of searching. They asked me if I was supposed to pick up the cake today, I showed them the order form, and it clearly stated that pick up date was "XX/XX/XX" which was that day; then they told me to wait again, the two employees and the manager looked over all the places that the cake could possible be at, however, they still could not find it. Then one of the employees looked at the order form, and told me that the patisserie employee could possible overlook my last name "Sun" as abbreviation of "Sunday", and thought that the cake was gonna be picked up on Sunday; in order to guarantee the freshness of the cake, they would not make the cake until Sunday. Be honest, I was pretty disappointed, but I knew they didn't do that on purpose; so I pretended that wasn't a big deal. Since I didn't get the first choice of my cake, so I went to pick up a second choice of cake, ice cream cake. Suddenly, the manager came up to me, and kept apologizing to me, and told me that it was their mistake, I told him that it was not a problem, I got another cake; then the manager said that they would give me the ice cream cake for free as an apology for their mistake. I told him that he didn't have to do so, but he insisted and said that “we want to be responsible for our mistake, and ensure that our customers are happy” – that was a great philosophy for a successful business. I accepted the cake! Ever since then I never gave them my last name when I ordered a cake, although getting a free cake is not a bad thing, hehe...

After we have been dating for 7 years 6 months 3 weeks and 2 days, we finally got engaged  on January 29, 2007. OWAHOOO~~~~ Looking back our dating journey, I have grown from an innocent high school girl to a lady, who is currently unemployed after two years working experience with college degree. WOW, “Time flies like rocket” (Okie, maybe I am exaggerating here, hehe...). The journey is full of fun, love, happiness, and challenging moment; I am really glad it has a happy ending; at the same time, i know it is a beginning of new journey. I really want to thank all my friends and family for giving us support, advice, encouragement, help, love, care, etc…Without you guys, our love wouldn’t be as strong as it is now. I also want to thank my honey, who has always been there for me, always spoils me, always makes me laugh whenever I am sad, always apologizes to me even it is not his fault, always forgives me for my mistake, always brags on how great he is as a boyfriend, always reminds me how lucky I am for being his girlfriend, always loves me more than loves himself; without him, our love wouldn't last until now. Honey, I love you, and we will be happily together forever and ever. S2 S2 S2 ~~~
