LongLong's OL Blog - 容容 的洛城OL隨記

Saturday morning, I took Mom to Bank of America to open a checking account.  Mom is like most of the 1st generation immigrants in Southern California, she always banks at the traditional Asian local branches.  To them, the convenience of ATMs, online banking and large branch network are secondary, it's all about language preference and human interaction.  
So why did Mom decide to open an account with BOA?  Well, here is the story - and I was furious when I first learned about it .

My fun visit to Santa Moncia continued as we headed to Enterprise Fish Co. for lunch - Of course, Steve's treat

We took a stroll around Venice Beach.  It's Samuel's first time at the beach- he seems a bit scare.

I took Monday off for the long weekend.  Gloria, Samuel and I took a short road trip to visit Steve's office at Marina Del Rey.  Marina Del Rey is a nice coastal town in Santa Monica close by Venice Beach.  I envy Steve for wokring in such a nice town.....  

We had another farewell lunch for a colleague at BJ today.  He is leaving banking to join the exciting entertainment industry. 

I received an e-mail from Alfredo yesterday, who will be in town for the conference next weekend. 
Alfredo is my old colleague from Citi in NYC, we haven’t seen each other since I moved back to California in late 2001.  I am so excited to see him after all these years.
