a geek, a photographer, a sneakerhead, and an eater

Damn ~ time flies! I am now married for 6 years, 2010 is just around the corner, and my daughter is now 9 months old. This is ridiculous.

She is happy. I guess thats all it matters for now.

Saw this today in Burlingame, CA.

Quite nice.

Always been kind of a sucker for American Classics, not sure why with this Asian self. :-P

As I am sitting here.. semi lying on the uncomfortable hospital temporary bed that they provided for the husbands of the wives in labor… I am reading street fashion and sneaker online magazines… I see so many things I would like to purchase…

But… things are different now.? Lotus is almost here.? Though am anxious and nervous, I just can’t wait to see her and can’t wait for Tiffany to be all better from this pregnancy thing.

C’mon Lotus.? Lets get on with it.

More to come, everyone… will keep you posted.

Hope all is well for everyone in the comin’ year.

Bruce Lee, baby.

Its been unseasonably cold here in the bay area, but I can’t really sit here and complain, since Chicago has our low as their high’s.? Keep warm, Chicago.? :-)

However, snow in Vegas?? Thats a first.

Read about the 3.6 inches of white-ness here.

Happy holidays, folks.

Just had an incident of data loss on my compact flash card! There were some nice pictures! But no… this is raising my blood pressure at the moment. There were some pictures from the weekend when we visited the twins that got kept, but only the JPG. The rest got corrupted. It looks like it was one whole folder that victimized…. Urgggggggggggggh!

Anyways… the result of the 24-70mm, courtesy of the wifey…

The picture quality is nice and crisp. Thanks, T.

舅媽 lived a good life, she was awesome. Sad to see her go, but the battle to fight cancer was just too much in the end after 1 year.

Friends and Family gathered on Tuesday – September 23rd for her burial. She passed on September 14th at 1:30 PM PST.

舅媽, 好走

So we took a trip to Chicago over this past weekend. It was for Steve Lee and Jane Lai’s wedding. It was like a damn Purdue reunion over there. :-P Wifey’s first time out there, though, she seemed to have enjoyed it.

We arrived on Saturday, after a long ass wait at the Hertz rental car, we finally got a car which came in quite handy I must say. Hyundai Sonata ain’t too shabby. :-) It was rain galore from the minute we arrived – Hurricane Ike left its mark over the skies of Chicago. We got into the city Oak Brook, and I brought Tiff to White Castle, it was her first time – and she liked it. :-)

Sunday we spent the day hanging out with P and his friend R, we actually had Chinese breakfast for brunch. :-) That was cool, regular “fan-twan” with soy sauce egg in it?! That’s a first – pretty good. Evening was the wedding of course…

Clouds started to clear up Sunday night for a beautiful day on Monday…

Ate some lunch…

And we pretty much spent the whole day downtown Chicago…

More pics from the trip over there at Flickr.

Fix yo script, Flickr!? Let’s go.? Making me look bad on my blog.? ;-)

You guys see it on the right hand side? –>

First time rockin’ these today, also the first time rockin’ shorts with air max ’95s. :-)? I think it looks iight.? :P

I forget how comfy air max ’95s are.

So, from what I remembered… with the Olympics closing ceremonies, shouldn’t it kinda stand up to its counter part – the opening ceremony?? I was not impressed with this closing ceremony AT ALL.? Granted there were some superstar singers on the stage, but we could not hear them at ALL… I guess its because it was a NBC broadcast vs a Chinese station broadcast, but still – I was not impressed.

China won some massive number of Gold though… overall, this Olympic experience was a pretty good one, with so many damn World Record breakage, it does make ya kinda wonder… whats in the air?? ;-)

I think its gonna be hard for London to pull of the same kinda impressiveness of the China’s opening ceremony with the little “London Bus” theme that they pulled…?? we shall see…

Not only is it the official day for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, it is also the date of our first big release at CK-12 of our new online application.

The release went well… it was a late night scramble. But not too shabby of a release after all. Y’all should check it out, its an application with a great mission.

We also need to head to LA for the weekend to send off my cousin to St. Louis. Hope I don’t get too tired from the driving, but the eats in LA should make it a good incentive to make it there safely. :-P

… the opening ceremony was pretty damn impressive, by the way, I didn’t think China could pull it off.. :-)

What da hell is this? I mean I am for the fact that it looks bad, and I don’t need to see nobody’s buttocks… but to illegalize? Do we have too much time on our hands?

Full story here.

The twins came over today.? Being their god parents, we felt that it was our duty to baby sit while their parents attended a wedding.? This was the twin’s first “date” with their god parents.? It was… tiring, almost as if they knew that their parents left them.? They knew.? :-)

The experience involved a lot comforting, singing, cleaning, and feeding.? Overall… it was not too bad.? But it was really nothing but a test for T and I to see what its like to have twins running around… well not exactly running around… but… you know what I mean.

We had them for 4 hours, within that 4 hours, they slept about 2 hours.? They were both really grumpy before the feeding, so we had to handle that.? :-)

Either way… it was pretty fun.? :-)? Lots of drool and wet spots to clean up afterwards.? :-P

Don’t let the picture fool you! They grumpy. ;-)
