Holidaze


 Christmas is 6 days away and I have no decorations in my apartment. It's kind of like Christmas is just going to pass me by this year. I wish I could just wake up and be surrounded by this. I love Christmas-time but this year, the only way I have celebrated is by having a couple red cups at Starbucks and eating a bajillion Christmas cookies in my office's break room. 

But luckily I have snow and a cabin to look forward to. Oh and family! My bruh bruh is coming home tomorrow! I can't believe the year is coming to an end. But I guess time flies when you're having fun!

Dear Mom


 via: Pinterest

I was just thinking about you today. I read that card you mailed to me before you and Dad went off to Europe. The one with the lotus in the rain, that you bought 3 years before I was even born. The words you wrote were so beautiful. You are an amazing inspiration and I thank God every day for everything we've ever experienced together. Thank you for always believing that I can do more and do it better. Even though it was really hard to deal with growing up, I now know it was because you believed in me. So thank you for that. I hope that I can make you proud. I love you.

Happy Birthday Dad!


Happy Birthday to the best man I know! Thanks for always putting on my socks when I wouldn't wake up and for always bringing me back gifts when you went on business trips. I love you Daddy! 

Oh and thanks for not naming me Susan. (No offense to any Susans out there. It's just not for me.)

And to everyone else, HAPPY NEW YEARS! YAY FOR 2012! Let's have a great year!

For my Mama

I have been so busying studying, that I didn't really acknowledge Mother's Day. So when I study, I get distracted by everything else around me. I have come to accept that this is how my brain works (or doesn't work). So instead of fighting it and cursing the heavens for getting distracted once again. I usually write about it, in my journal, facebook status, or here.

So I was thinking, how I haven't seen my mom in a while. Ok like 2 or 3 weeks but that seems like a long time. Oh and I was watching this video:


And I was so grateful my mom was not like those crazies, with the Indigo child and stuff. Man, growing up I always thought my mom was so harsh and strict. I wasn't allowed to go out with my friends until I was 16. Real talk. And my mom even walked me into the movie theater, and somehow talked the ticket boy into letting her and my little brother in to make sure I was seated. So no one would steal me on the way to see Spiderman 2. True story, super embarrassing because I was sitting next to the boy I kind of liked! (I will do this to my own child now. Thanks for the idea Mom.)

Oh man, how me and my mom would fight. Usually over curfew or talking on the phone late at night. Dumb stuff. But it used to get me so angry, because I was like in high school and had all those new hormones in me and stuff. (Late bloomer over here)

But now that I'm older, dude I'm about to be 24 in like 2 weeks, I kind of appreciate it all. Our relationship has definitely changed, for the better of course. Maybe this should be attributed to me moving out on my own, or my maturity (hah! yea right), but we rarely fight (unless I'm pmsing and raging at everyone).

But Mama Tung has taught me everything I know, and shit I still don't know but she already told me so, so I should know. And she's pretty awesome and is a fabulous cook. Not so great at baking, but I picked up her slack. She get's an A for effort. Uhh I spent most of my childhood not knowing that chocolate chips cookies consisted of more than one chocolate chip. She used to just put one in the middle. Also, cupcakes have frosting on them. I learned that one later in life as well.

I know you're reading this because you're my biggest fan and I'll probably get an email or phone call telling me you read this but that I should be studying instead. But I just wanted to tell you I love you mumsies.

This picture is kind of old, but I tried to find the most flattering picture of us (i.e. me). So you know.

Teehee. Not gonna lie, I was cute. My mom told me she was behind me holding me up because I couldn't sit on my own yet. Hahaha, my dad would make her do that.

Scream for Ice Cream

Photobucket

Adam Richman has been to the San Francisco Creamery to demolish the sundae known as the "Kitchen Sink". That entails 3 bananas, 8 scoops of ice cream, and 8 toppings in a wooden sink. Intense.

Photobucket

Instead we had the brownie sundae, which was bigger than we expected. That pink stuff is a melted Peppermint Crunch, which was bomb, with Carmel White Chocolate and Coffee Cooke Dough. The best tasting diabetes in a bowl I have ever had. They make all their own ice cream by the way. Yay! Local!

Photobucket

After. Killed it. It took 3 of us.

Photobucket

My cousin and I. Happy but defs feeling bloated.

Asian Pearl

The Lai Wong Baos at Asian Pearl are the best I have had. The top one is called a Bo Lo Bao, which translate to Pineapple Bun. However, it does not taste anything like pineapple. I think it's for the bumpy top. Maybe it resembles a pineapple? Who cares, it's freaking tasty in my mouth (that's what she said).

The bottom one is the steamed Lai Wong Bao. As a Chinese girl, I love all kinds of steamed baos. It doesn't matter what the filling it, I will probably love it. I could seriously eat these until I die. And real talk, they might cause an early death. But a happy one. Haha.

Dahn Tot (Uhh this is how it sounds to me. I am probably not the best at romanizing Cantonese. Egg Custard Tart. There.
