Also I realized my kid has too many white fiends. The only brown friends she had at party were all family friends. This is also an indication of the school and sports she is in. Hopefully as she gets into middle school which has a more diverse population, she will make some more diverse friends of color. She used to in our last school and I absolutely loved it but it has completely changed now. This is nothing against the white friends or families though – every one of friends she has made are absolutely wonderful and their parents are equally friendly, down to earth and wonderful. It’s just that I feel that everyone should have diverse set of friends so they experience growing up knowing different set of people. But glad for the friends she has already made though!

The kid’s birthday party at a bowling place was a lot of fun but also very tiring. Hopefully this is the last of the bday parties that we have to host – next time I hope to just leave the kid with her friends at mall and let them run loose instead of planning a party stuff.

I really don’t understand why White House your needs a reservation through my congressman or senator. It’s not like we can visit any “sensitive” area of the white house and now that’s it’s open to citizens only why not just put a scheduling system to book it directly with ID validation? Seems such a wasteful and unnecessary exercise – having a scheduling system would be so helpful for people to plan around it especially for out of state visitors.

Conspicuously absent from entire White House tour – absolutely no pictures of the former terrorist President. Thank you!

Woke up to india losing their final wicket in WTC final. Well done australia and deserving winners. This match was not lost at toss (which was really stupid decision to win toss and not bat first), but good several months ago when india pulled off the doctored pitches purely to advance to finals. You reap what you sow. They never deserved to be in finals.

So much pulling pushing tugging t shirts and falling but no real drama, so what happens to these men who turn into sissy little toddlers in World Cup that every touch sends them flying into unbearable agony that can only be placated by a foul?

Where is Ted Lasso on the field?! Whst am I even watching!

I have been given the sorting job whereby I sort all the names on the entry cards. The computer science brain in me is already using different sort algorithms to determine which is the best way to sort without computer. Turns out binary sort is actually quite fast to do so as long as long as you keep the trees small. This is all so entertaining to me.

I honestly would have no problems paying an extra 100$ a meet if it means that youngsters get employment and make some extra summer cash. The clientele of the club is rich enough that nobody, absolutely nobody should have any issue paying an extra 100-150$ per meet. With hundreds of families this could be a income generation opportunity.

Volunteering at summer swim trials except it’s a ice 60 degree spring morning and everyone is shivering around the pool. Hopefully the kids will be allright. Also, it’s fucking summer break for so many kids – why not just get teenagers to volunteer and pay them money to do so? Using family community building as an excuse just feels so scammy to me especially when there are so many teenagers and high schoolers about to head out to college who could make good use of the earnings. But no, let’s get parents involved on pretext of community so we don’t have to pay anyone.
