Armageddon

Another yearly tradition.

Noticed that there were a lot less new people this time around.. hahaha. 

I think we were the only people in the entire establishment (probably because it was Sunday and some might need to work on the 31st?).

Family Dinner and Hot Pot Day

So it's only been a couple weeks, but lil nephew looks ALOT bigger (and his eyes are opening more now!!!).

For dinner, we had the home style AYCE hot pot.  Mmmmm....

Lobster Sashimi!

Haven't had it in a couple years. But finding it out, I had to try it! For ~$20, that's a pretty good deal I think given it's $12.99/lb. just for the lobster in S.Town.

Not shown above is also the claws of the lobster.
Also ordered some skewers. Pretty nice presentation of it I thought.

A Nice Surprise Gift :)

Right before I left for Horseshoe, I was told that a gift would be arriving soon.

Today coming back I saw it in the mail in its bright neon yellow envelope.  What was inside was really cute and hilarious.  I was laughing as I read through what was written.

Thanks! :)

Horseshoe Week

Pretty much stayed dormant the entire time... heh heh heh

Slept and boiled TVBs and watched snow fall from the inside.

Also went to learn how to make some towel animals.. hahaha

做冬 Dinner

With Grandpa not feeling well this week, we postponed the 做冬 dinner to Sunday.

So I ended up going to Hermie's place early, then bumming at his place.  Watching the nephew from afar, talking to skype with cous who was in Europe (drinking wine instead of water... lol).

Yummy home made food :)

Brunch - Shark's Fin Soup Leftovers

Shark Fin's Soup for Leftovers.. Delicious!!!

It was pretty cool that when put in the fridge, the soup actually looks like jelly. Then with a little water and heat, it melts and turns back into soup... in a matter of a couple minutes!  Yum-my!

Aiden's One Month Old Dinner

Uncle Mson first time meeting the nephew in real life :).

Little Dragon Baby was sleeping most of the time, occasionally waking up to eat, then falls right back to sleep. Guess he has the same 'dai sac lan' genes running through both me and Hermie.. wuhahaha

Congrats Hermie! Welcome Lil Aiden :)

Skydrive Album to Pics of Dinner

Airport Travels

Nexus is awesome... My first time using it at an airport.

The speed gain is not even comparable to the past... Even with me doing it wrong the first time, dumbly lining up thinking I have to see someone, to realizing I only needed a little card printed by the machine to walk through, that was still easily much faster than having to line up in the normal line.

On another note, this morning my carry on was checked as I crossed TSA. Turns out one of my presents had too much liquid... so TSA took it. No more apple smelling face :(

Rainy Soccer Day

Having not played soccer for a couple weeks, I was itching to play.  So with that, I decided the morning of to go and play.

December is a cold time to play soccer...  It was damp, rainy, and cold.  I was tired, but it was fun.  I was put on the field for much longer than I usually have been (either I seem to look pretty good out there, or the other team members were too out of shape).

One of these days I gotta break my scoring drought in this league and start scoring... my passes are slowly getting more and more accurate, but the shot and power is still no where near where it should be, nor my stamina :(.

January I will start working out again!
