[分享] The Happiest day in his life - Caine's Arcade

到Santa Monica 12天了!
時差終於消失不見，Naomi非常喜歡上學，
我也慢慢地習慣了每天中午來回加起來得騎上一個小時多的腳踏車去接Naomi回家的例行健身。


當務之急自然是找房子。



像過往遷徙到新城市的既定模式，我們依舊先暫住在附傢俱的服務式公寓，然後一邊找房子。
暫住的公寓地點不太佳，附近甚麼都沒有，離Naomi的幼稚園又很遠。
5月12日到期，我哀求法蘭克讓我們搬到地點好一點，方便一點的其他服務式公寓。


這表示我們不僅得找在Santa Monica長住的房子，也得在5月12日前找好暫住的附傢具公寓。
唉。這下子，可是難上加難咯。


法蘭克陸續寄來同事們熱心提供的洛杉磯吃喝玩樂私房推薦名單。
我啊，怎麼會有心情呢？
在沒有安頓下來，我怎麼能開開心心的去享受，去展開我的新生活冒險呢？
上週法蘭克寄來這個影片。寫了一句話。
"Nice video about a little boy and the happiest day in his life." 


現在，我也祈禱一個小天使出現，讓我們找到夢想中的房子，帶給我最快樂的一天吧！
＊影片有點長。我看完又哭了。真的很值得看，你不會後悔的。


It's been 12 days since we moved to Santa Monica! 
We finally got over jet lag; Naomi loves going to her pre-school so much; 
and I gradually get used to my daily 'work-out' as my bike ride to pick up Naomi and back is more than 1 hour.  


The priority is for sure to find the perfect house for us to settle down in Santa Monica. 
Following the previous 'model' of moving into a new city, we stay in a furnished, 'serviced' apartment for the initial house-hunting period. 


However, the location of our Santa Monica serviced apartment is not very good. There's not much around and it is really far from Naomi's preschool, which makes it very hard for me. 
So, I've asked Frank to agree on moving to some other temporary apartment, where it is a bit more convenient. 


Now, on the top of the dream house that is yet to be found, we need to search for a short-term rental as well. Ah...stress!! 


Frank has been sending me many recommendation lists of LA restaurants, cafes, etc..from his colleagues. The truth is, I won't feel really relaxed and being in the mood to start enjoying our lives and exploring the new adventures until we finally find the dream house and settle. 


Last week, Frank sent me this video, and wrote: 
"Nice video about a little boy and the happiest day in his life." 


Now, let's hope for an angel coming to our ways and lead us to find that dream house and make it the happiest day in my life soon. 


* the nice video is a bit long, but it is truly a wonderful story. It made me cry(again)! 
It's worth of your time. Watch it, you won't regret!
