☆ Happy Birthday Adam! ☆

I'm not very good at picking birthday gifts for Adam. For the past 4 years since I've known him,I've been giving him pretty much the same gifts on his birthday every year-Clothes,clothes and more clothes! Boring huh? I know...haha

Guys would always say that women are hard to shop for. I'd say men are more difficult to shop for. Hahaha! For Adam's birthday gift this year,I've been trying hard to think of getting him something that he'd really like and enjoy and something he'd get to use a lot...maybe. The first thing that came in my mind was the Wii game,but that was not the option because Adam's got all the Wii games he wants. So, the next thing I could thing of was "baseball!" Yeah,anything that has to do with baseball!!! Anybody who's known Adam well will definitely know that he is a huge baseball fan of the Dodgers. Speaking of baseball,there's a little interesting story that I'd like to share with you guys. It happened on the very first time we talked on the phone...back in the summer of 2003.
Adam was working night shift at his family's motel-the Best Western Baugh Motel and I just finished working in my family's restaurant for the afternoon. I called the 1-800 something number he gave me because he told me it was free(but it wasn't when you called internationally...hahaha) Luckily,I still had about 10 minutes left on the phone card that I used a long time ago when I went to the US. So, I went ahead and called him. I was so nervous at that time because I didn't know what he sounded like.

"Best Western Baugh Motel",somebody answered.
"Hello,is Adam there", I asked.
"This is Adam",he said.
"Hey Adam! It's me Nicole. How are you doing?",I said.
And then our conversation went on...Wanna know the first thing he asked me?
"Hey, do you know Chen Chin-Feng?",he asked.
"Nope",I said
"How about Tsao Chin-Hui? Hu Chin-Long? Kuo Hong-Chih?",he asked
"Nope,I don't know.Who are they?",I asked.
"Oh,they are all really famous Taiwanese baseball players that are in America right now.",he said.
"Oh...",I said.

He was super excited to talk to me about baseball,but I knew nothing about baseball at all at that time...well,I still don't know much about it...hahaha! I just think it's so funny and ever since then I've always remembered our first conversation on the phone and I'll definitely still remember for quite a long time. : )

Anyway,that's how I got the idea of getting him a Dodgers jacket and t-shirt for his birthday this year. From seeing the smile on his face when he opened his gift and saw the jacket,I knew I bought the right birthday gift...Happy Birthday Baobei!!! We love you!!! : )

Maybe the next thing he'll need is the ticket to the real Dodgers game in LA!!! That'll be awesome!!! : )
