Disney Halloween 2010

Last time I took my mom to Disneyland, it was a disaster. She tripped over the train track and sprained her ankle. All the shows were cancelled (even the fireworks), and they ran out of food at the restaurant, so she got the last bits and pieces they had left. This time, James wanted to come too. He hasn't been to the Halloween event. To me, I think the Halloween event is my favorite. The decoration is really cool and fun, and the haunted house is Nightmare Before Christmas Theme. The only thing that's not so good is probably the parade. Christmas parade is definitely a lot more elaborate. Everything went well this time, other than the dead escalator to the 6th floor of the parking lot. My mom wasn't too thrilled about walking all the way up.






I got a really cool looking Jack Skellington balloon :D

Dream: Dancing Cherry Tomatoes

I had another strange dream yesterday. I kind of miss having strange dreams. The mermaltese dream was pretty awesome. Anyways, yesterday I dreamt of dancing cherry tomatoes.

Wagashi @ Minamoto Kitchaon

Living in California is nice. It seems like we have access to anything even the rare tasty treats from other countries. There are asian markets everywhere, and you can find pretty much every ingredients/food. Recently, I discovered Minamoto Kitchaon. I've heard of them before. I just didn't think that they'd be inside Mitsuwa market in San Jose :p. They have a shop at the entrance of the market, and they carry many beautiful looking Wagashi (Traditional Japanese Sweets). I bought a Yuzu Rabbit one and Chocolate Mochi. Yummy!

Mojo and Lulu

Mike and Lin just got a new puppy and he's so cute. His name is Mojo.

Mewmew & the Paper Towel

I was just saying how Mewmew likes everything, and sometimes it's a pain. Look what I saw when I got home today *sigh~~*

Mewmew's obstacle

Mewmew is a glutton. If I leave chicken on the coffee table and run to the bathroom, I'd probably see him dragging my drumstick away when I get out. He eats EVERYTHING and he likes EVERYTHING. That makes him cute most of the time, but sometimes it can also be a pain. I like how Mewmew would always be the first one to play with all the new cat toys when others would ignore it. I don't like when he opens the door to go steal Abby's food though -_-;

Sunny's cat - Abigale

I'm going to be taking care of Sunny's cat for a while. Her name is Abby. She has tiny little ears and stubby little arms. Unlike my other cats, Abby can't cross her arms lol. Her body looks kind of like a blimp @_@. She's super cute! She also comes to you when you call her name, and she likes to sleep on her back. She'd act super cute, rolling back and forth, luring you to rub her tummy so she can attack! >_<



Actually, my friends and I think she is a bit like Toothless from "How to train your dragon". It's her face shape, and the way she'd stalk and walk.

The Counter's Burgers

My dad heard that The Counter has really good burgers. I guess the whole family is a foodie lol. Anyways, uncle Hershey invited us out to lunch, so we decided to go check it out. I also got to meet Uncle George. I haven't seen him in more than 15 years!

The place has a modern decor. Food was yummy. You get to build your own burger, and they are hormone and antibiotic free. I like the clipboard menu :p. I got my burger with Brie Cheese, 7 Grain bun, Pineapple, Sprouts, and garlic aioli dressing. They have very tasty sweet potatoes fries :D.

Sweet Street 2@ Nucleus Gallery

Took a trip to LA to help my dad move and also to go to Sweet Street 2 art show. I knew that a few of my friends were going there, but we ended up missing each others so I didn't get to see them :(. I did get to hang out with Rudy and Gary though. We all went to eat dinner and then to the show together.

Porridge

Craving Porridge from Siam Sunset in LA. That place has the best thai food. In the end, I just made it myself. Not as good as the one at Siam Sunset, but it will do for now.

Stir Fry Glass Noodles

Mom makes the best Stir Fry glass noodles. I had some broccoli and mushrooms in the fridge, so I decided to make some.

Cat Show - Santa Clara

Derek, Laine, Elda, and I went to Santa Clara cat show. I drew almost every breed of cats for MEG, so it was super cool to actually see the real animals lol. I didn't know that cats can get that big. There were some that are about 27 lbs. 27!! isn't that crazy? Here I am thinking that Mewmew is a gigantic cat because he's about 14 lbs. The big cat's head is the size of a human's head!

I liked the american curls with their ears rounded and curled back. The Ragdolls and Burman kitties remind me of Coco <3. I love the pattern of Ocicats. They're like leopards. I want one! lol. Savannah cats and Maine coon cats are the gigantic ones. I've never seen a real Toyger before either (They're the ones that looks like tigers).

Thank you Derek for the pictures. I had a hard time taking pictures there because I have a stupid camera that shoots out red laser beams to focus. Those poor cats would squint, so I stopped and told Dererk that I'd steal his pics instead >_<.

Baked Salmon w/ curry panko crust

Rosann's yummy looking baked salmon picture made me crave baked salmon, so I took my frozen Salmon out and kind of threw stuff together to make Baked salmon with curry crust. (I saw the curry powder in my spice drawer, and thought it'd be fun to try adding it to the panko mixture lol). Well, all I did was mixing in chopped Shallots, parsley, garlic powder, curry powder with panko. Add a little olive oil, then plop it on the Salmon and baked. It was really good.

I also made Garlic Yukon mashed potatoes to go with it. Super quick and easy meal. yay!

Katara Art

I got an email from a girl in Germany that's a fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender. She liked the trading card set that we did for Avatar, so she asked if I can draw something for her. I wasn't too busy, so I did a small watercolor painting for her. :)

Japanese Cheesecake

I made Japanese Cheesecake today. It's not as dense as the american cheesecake and it's also less sweet.
