Is it possible to meet someone you feel as an old old friend, but only for the first time?

Here’s the someone.

More pictures over on Flickr.

UPDATE: My sister is out of the hospital and is recovering back home. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

I contemplated about making this public at all.

Without having to go into all the details, I just want to express my feelings.

My sister is not feeling well.She is in the hospital getting treatments. She will recover. Perhaps slowly. I am staying positive, but it's very hard. I can't help but try to imagine how it must be for her.

All of us siblings are very close. And it makes it hard when my brother and I both physically so far from my sister.

No matter what you believe or not, I would like you to send positive thoughts and energy, or prayers to my sister for her speedy recovery. Also, if you'd keep her family in your thoughts and prayers, my brother-in-law, my niece, my nephews, and especially my parents.

Thank you. And I'll keep you posted. The last I heard was she's improving a little. But there had been too many ups and downs for me to get too excited. But I'm going to stay positive for her.

Nine years ago, this very day, we met for the first time in person.
Had our first date.
Anticipated his arrival. His champagne-colored Ford Explorer.
Hien Vuong, a Vietnamese restaurant in town.
We hugged.
Watched The Wedding Banquet ?•‚Äì?ì?•¬Æ¬¥ together. His head on my lap.
That’s how it started.
I still can’t believe that it has been nine years. It only felt like a couple of years ago.
We are lucky. We are in love. We are happy together.

Looking back on my Flickr photos, I realized I haven’t uploaded too many pictures since I came back from Malaysia. Especially pictures of myself.
Here are some pictures from my phone, computer, and camera.
All the way from snuggling with one of my cats to checking out my zits on the computer.
There, in case you see me on the street, come say hi. 😀

I came across a blog from a Malaysian Chinese kid. I found the explicit warning extremely funny. It’s not a warning to kids about the explicit content, but a warning to other kids to not get into trouble for viewing the content. So cute.

Warning, explicit, vulgar word contain in the song. Please don’t watch in front of your parents. I am not responsible for what happened next if you get beat up or scolded. Just sharing with you guys, lame, funny parody. Not for under 18. Ahem ahem , I am. Very no no for under 12. 🙂

Hmmm… I can’t decide which I like more. Chocolate crucifix or chocolate bunny?

The picture was taken today at my regular American Chinese restaurant. My cookie tells me, “Your life will be happy and peaceful.”

That’s nice. I would like to thank all of you who sent me birthday wishes through email, comments, and phone calls. And some presents too. 🙂

I wish your life to be a “happy and peaceful” one too.

Love you all. I will be back to podcasting next Monday. It feels fabulous to be 33.
