Christmas music

I'm gonna have to admit that I actually DO like christmas music. They're so jingly and make me feel all warm and happy jolly inside. Shhhhh~~~

*I said I like "Jolly" better than "happy", but Rudy insisted that "Jolly" makes him visualize a fat old person like Santa lol

Uncle Tony & Kogi BBQ Truck

My uncle was featured on Kogi BBQ Truck blog today. He got an $80 parking ticket because of the Kogi Truck, but he's still smiling :). He's such a happy go lucky guy :)

Wishlist <3

I've never made a wishlist before. I usually just buy what I want, so I might end up buying these things eventually anyways lol.
**My First Wishlist**

Car Maintenance

Expensive! $1000 spent on the car today. >_< I'm having a bad day. Maybe I'm PMSing... feels irritated all day. GRRRR~

Happy thoughts.. must think of Happy thoughts.. Look isn't he cute? I broke his head off and ate it and it was super yummy.

Artsy Trekkie Trip

We went to the Star Trek Exhibition at the Tech Museum in San Jose. I have never seen any Star Trek episodes before, so I was a bit lost, but some of the people that I was with that day seemed to be Trekkies :D. It was fun. We got a hologram photo of us being warped away by Transporter too! I can't really scan the hologram pic, and they didn't allow us to take pictures inside though. :( No pics to show. Booo~

While I was at the coffee shop, I took some artsy photographs with my iphone. :)

Hawaiian Shaved Ice

Hawaiian shaved ice is my new love. Rudy called one day and asked if wanted to go have some Hawaiian shaved ice. I’m not that big into shaved ice. They tend to be really sweet and they’re just syrup on crunchy ice right? Wronggg not this Hawaiian shaved ice.
We stopped by the farmer’s market in Sherman Oaks, and there was a “get shaved” truck. I didn’t expect much, but after I took a bite, I was sooo happy. It was light, fluffy, soft, not too sweet, and it melts in your mouth. Oh and the condense milk topping made it extra tasty, and you have the option of adding icecream to the bottom too! Seriously, it was heavenly. It got me to drive to Eagle rock (30 min away) 2 days later just because I craved that shaved ice and just had to have it.

Thailand Trip Part 3: Food Porn

Food in Thailand :)

Thailand Trip part 2: We Ate

with Pailin and Charina at Cafe Chile
Hmm.. I guess Part 2 should be about the pretty cafe and restaurants that I went to.

"After You" Cafe has such a charming name. They have this Shibuya Honey toast that I want to try to make when I get back to the States. It's a giant stack of Toast with butter, Vanilla Icecream and Honey. They also make my favorite Horlicks shakes out of everywhere. I need to buy the Horlicks powder. Ahhhh.



"Maru" is one of the Sushi place that I've been to. The quality of the fish was superb. They have a LOT of unique dishes

Thailand Trip Part 1

I’m typing this while I’m on the plane. The japanese girl next to me is wearing a flu mask. She seems just as addicted to Bejeweled as me >_>. I like the snacks on JAL. Their rice crackers are yummy. Yuzu drink is also good.

Continue~
I landed and I'm staying at Emporium Suite hotel which is connected directly to the Emporium mall. It's nice because it's right next to the BTS sky train system and if I get hungry and lazy, I can just go upstair to get food in the food court.

There was a festival and they sold my favorite thai popsicle. These popsical are called ancient icecream since they've been around a LONG LONG time. They'd pour the syrup mixture inside a metal tube and the giant tub that the little metal tubes rest in are filled with ice. Then they kind of shake it and voila~ I want that machine so badly. I wish they'd make a mini version of the Popsicle maker.




I went to Southern Thailand for a day. My brother and his wife came with me. The airplane is cute, and the flight attendants wore pretty bright yellow uniforms.  We ate at a local streetside thai restaurant which was super cheap and it had an awesome view. There was a stray cat there that they named "October" since that's when they first saw him. I wish I could've taken the kitty home! :p

Making food

Not much work lately, so I have decided to fulfill my cravings by making stuff. I wanted Corn potage, but Curry House is 40 min away, so I decided to make it. Despite not having the proper tool (mommy's kitchen), it turned out okay! Yummy, I'm happy.
Then the next day, I had leftover corn and chicken, so I made Chinese Chicken Corn soup. It's really good too :D. I like corn :D~~~ Today I craved Yakitori, but we don't have the little skewers, so I used toothpicks lol. I miss my kitchen supplies and pretty plates :(

Josh & Ling Invitation

I received Josh and Ling's wedding invitation! It's so adorable. Josh's drawing is so cute, and Ling picked really pretty color combination. <3 Artist couple Awww~
I need to diet so I can fit in my pretty dress for their wedding! *determines*

Lucky

I just got home and saw Lucky dead. Her eyes are wide opened, she must have struggled from being stuck in between the gate door. What a horrible way to die... couldn't breathe to death. I hate flies... they were all over her. I can't get her out from the gap. She's stuck. I'm waiting for someone to come and help me.

I went to buy groceries. I shouldn't have spent that long at the grocery store. Maybe if I got home a bit earlier, I could have saved her. I'm extremely sad. Why can't I save any of them? I'm always too late.

I just bought her a new toy yesterday. I got her favorite treat too. She was playing yesterday. She didn't even get to eat her favorite treat yet. No one is home. I'm so sad.

Flowers

When I get sad, I tend to buy flowers. Or when I get paid a lot lol. Whole foods has nice flowers and they're not expensive like the ones from flower shops.
