Family Gathering

Joe and his family arrived today from Japan.  Mum and dad came together to pick them up from the airport and they were absolutely thrilled to see Brendan.  I am sure they cannot wait to see Abigail too.

It has been two years since Joe came back so it is always good to have him around.  Looking forward to spend some time catching up!

Welcome Back, Mum!

I am so happy mum is back.

What I am not so happy is my weight.

My weight was steady and dropping at 67.5kg the day when mum arrived.

The next day it went up to 69.

I need to control my craving from mum’s home cooked meals.

Mum hasn’t changes a bit, but dad is visibly older.

Still, it is great to see both of them again.

So Quiet

Mum and dad went back to Melbourne this afternoon. It was kind of weird coming home today but did not see them around. Maybe I am used to the noise they make, used to listening to them arguing over nothing. Perhaps, I am just used to have them staying with us.

Suddenly, I miss them both. I wish they can come back again soon.

The funny thing is, in merely a week time, I will be flying back to see them too! This time back to Melbourne is going to be fantastic, and I am sure my wife will love it too! I cannot wait!

Happy New Year 2009!

This year again ended at a low. Poor economy, switched to a new job function at work, and no bonus.

Then again, looking at the brighter side, I got married, I am still healthy, and happy.

The whole family, including my wife, Joe and Yoshimi checked out the new year countdown firework at Taipei 101. For the fourth consecutive year, I ended the year viewing at the tallest building in the world covered in firework. Regrettably to say, this year’s firework was a disappointment. It was longer, but far less spectacular. However, I had this rare moment to spend the new year with the whole family, plus new family members, so I have nothing to complaint.

Happy New Year 2009 everyone. See you here again at the 2010 countdown.

Happy New Year 2009!

Wedding Cakes (喜餅)

I handed them out today, the wedding cakes, plus the invitations. I had waited for this for a long time, and finally I got it out of the way.

It felt weird, a lot of the people did not know I was getting married. A lot of people did not know my wife was someone they knew. I had many questions thrown at me. I didn’t know what to answer, but it was fun.

Another three weeks before the actual wedding day. I can’t wait!

Oh yah, mum and dad also arrived today! It is always good to see them again!

Boring Weekend

Well, boring today, but hopefully it gets better tomorrow, because Mother’s Day is tomorrow.

Mum has been treating me well ever since I entered this world, but I have never really gotten her a proper Mother’s Day gift. She is always like aiya on need lah, or save your money lah, or give it to your girlfriend instead lah, you know, things that most Asian parents would say when you want to give them something.

Since I already know Mum is going to say the same thing again this year, I think I should just buy her a cake to save the trouble. At least I can eat the cake if she like want it.

I saw Ocean’s Thirteen trailer, and I liked it. Thank you YouTube.

Fuck the Bulls lost yesterday after a 22 points lead at half time and 18 points lead midway though the 3rd, and they still lost 74 to 81. What the heck? Did the Bulls start to play on wheelchairs after half time??

What a boring weekend.
