Happy New Year! 新年快樂!

Remember my New Year’s Eve party from last year?  Daddy said we won’t be partying this year because I need to go to bed way before midnight.  Personally, I blame Uncle Chris for not being around because if he’s here, Daddy would have taken me to Grandma’s place to ring in the new year, just so that Daddy and Uncle Chris can play their favorite game. 

Well, since I won’t be staying up late tonight… to all my Families and Friends from around the world, Happy New Year to you!

How Did My Blog Do in 2008?

As 2008 comes to an end, I want to take a moment to thank all my fans from around the world for your continuous support of this site/blog!  You have shown me the relationship between a good looking boy and good web-site traffic.  And when your handsomeness is world class, your web-site’s viewers are automatically from worldwide.  As you can see from this report below, my site had 2500+ visits in 2008, from more than 20 countries.  These are some Matt Damon / Justin Timberlake numbers!  No jokes!

The fact that I had 2 hits to my web-site from an iPhone shows that my fans just couldn’t stop thinking about me, even when they’re driving, shopping, pooping, walking, or waiting (for whatever.)

Below is a high-level summary of all the major statistic to my blog/site in 2008.

Thanks you for your support!

A Visit to 公公 (Grandpa) and 婆婆 (Grandma) House

Today, we went out to have dinner with Grandma and Grandma at 鼎泰豐 restaurant in Arcadia.  If you haven’t been there before, I highly recommend you to pay a visit to this place.  Based on the look on Daddy’s face, I can tell that their food is good! 

Right after dinner, we went back to Grandma and Grandpa’s house.  Here’s a video of Grandma asking for an “Addison Kiss.”

And 'no', I wasn't trying to run away. I was just trying to play with Bagel, the dog.

Here are some pictures that Daddy took...

My Second Christmas

Yesterday was Christmas Day, and I spent most of the day at Grandma and Grandpa’s house in Riverside.  We left the house right before my first nap so that I get to take my first nap in the car.  Unfortunately, according to Daddy, traffic was so bad that it took him 1.5 hours to get to Grandma’s house.  By the time we got there, it was already way past the lunch hours.  But that still didn’t stop them for having hot pot for lunch.  And right after lunch, it’s time to open my presents! 

As you can see from this video, my outfit was rather festive.  Here, I was doing some warm-up exercise to prepare for all those presents that I had to open.

There are so much to show you, I’m not going to waste time to give you an opening spiel.

 

These 2 videos below shows how Grandma helped me open my first present.  Yes, the present was almost as tall as myself!

 

Here is another video of me opening another gift.  By then, Grandma and Grandpa had visitors to their housel.  Emily is the lady that you see in this video, and her husband, Mike, live next door to Grandma and Grandpa.  They are very good friends of Grandma and Grandpa.  Today, they brought gifts over to celebrate Christmas with us. 

Remember the first present that Grandma helped me to open?  The one that was almost as tall as me?  This video below shows a test-drive of my new toy.

(There were just too much noise/conversations in the background that Daddy decided to overlay these 2 videos with a few looping beats.  Daddy asked if anyone can guess the song name.  If you know, be the first to leave a comment after this post to let me know!)

As soon as I was done with the test-drive, it came another present.  This time, this present is even taller than me, and I had my Grandpa helping me with the unwrapping.  It turned out that this gift was a Basketball Hoop set!  Yeah!

Although Aunt Phoebe and Uncle Chris are in Hong Kong, they didn’t forget about getting a Christmas present either!  This video below shows that I was unwrapping this gift, with Daddy’s help, from Aunt Phoebe.

And this video shows me playing with my latest present from Aunt Phoebe that I just unwrapped.

He’s another video of me playing the same toy later that day.  It turned out that I quite like this gift that Aunt Phoebe bought for me. 

Now, here’s a gift from Uncle Chris!

Oh, remember that guy named ‘Santa’ that I met from the Shopping Mall?  He did bring me a gift too.  I would expect him to drop it off at my house.  Who knew why he brought it to Grandma’s house instead? 

 

I hope you’re still able to follow this long post so far!  Yeah, I know, I got lots of Christmas presents!  But I can’t help it.  When you have such a cute face like mine, who can resist not buying me any toys?  (Actually, you don’t need to look any further than Daddy, to answer that question.)

Speaking of Daddy, enough of watching me unwrapping Christmas presents.  Let’s take a look at a video of Daddy unwrapping his Christmas gifts. 

By now, I’m sure you should figure out that ‘Chocolate/Food’ is always a safe bet if you ever wonder what kind of present to get for Daddy!

Last but not least, here is a video showing Grandma and Grandpa opening their Christmas presents, from me!

Oh, and I almost forgot… here are some photos of me spending my Christmas Day at Grandma’s house. 

I hope this long post didn’t throw off too many viewers.  It was a wonderful Christmas for me, and I hope that you all had a great Christmas celebration too!

Once again, Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

 

To all my FFF (Fans, Friends, and Family) around the world, Merry Christmas! 

Most of you should have received this VERY limited edition Christmas Card from Mommy and Daddy.  If you haven’t, it doesn’t mean that you are any less important, nor less pretty/handsome… at least in my mind.  Daddy told me that the needs to control the Supply of this limited edition Card so that the re-sell value of this card will be kept at a high price-point, despite the current economic down fall, in the coming years. 

I am forecasting that it will be quite a few busy days for me because of all YOUR gifts and presents.  Therefore, Blog posting will be a bit slow.  Until I have some updated pictures and videos to post, may I invite you look back to just a year ago, to re-live how I spent my first Christmas. 

Until next time, have a wonderful holiday!

Some More Pictures After Meeting Santa

As mentioned, Grandma and Grandpa took me to meet Santa yesterday.  Here are some pictures that we took from home, after meeting Santa.  It’s been a fun day at my Grandparents’ house.  I spent plenty of time playing with them, as well as Great-Grandma!  But as we were leaving their house last night, it was so cold that I don’t think I have ever experienced such low temperature.  Fortunately, it was just a few steps from the garage to the car.  Daddy already had the car warmed up for Mommy and Me!

 

My First Meeting with Santa

Today, Great Grandma, Grandma, and Grandpa took Mommy, Daddy, and Myself to meet Santa!  I have heard a lot of Santa recently and I’ve always wonder what does he looks like.  I have been told that if I maintain my good behavior, Santa might even bring me a gift or two by the end of this month.  Therefore, I was very eager to meet this Santa Dude to see what so cool about him. 
So immediately after lunch, the whole family headed to the Shopping Mall to look for Santa.  When we arrived there, we noticed that there is a long line, and that Daddy wasn’t too pleased about the price that one has to pay to just to sit on Santa’s lap!  Fortunately, Grandma did NOT forget her handbag, and brought it along with her.  Problem solved!
Here’s a video that Daddy took while Grandpa was holding me as we were waiting in line to meet Santa…

Here's the video of me getting ready to approach Santa, and later sat on his lap for my picture...




I'm a bit upset that Santa didn't ask me what I want for Christmas. Because Daddy gave me a list of things that he wants, and he told me to tell Santa that the list of items are actually what I want. Anyway, I think one of the reason why Santa didn't speak much to me is because he was stunned by my good look. As you can tell from the video, Santa really needs to go on a diet, and not to mention that there's certain room for improvement for his linguistic skills. Well, I hope he was able to picked up some Christmas Gifts hint from that short few minutes of interaction with me. I guess I'll find out in a few days. Here's a picture of me taken with Santa...


After Santa, we saw some coin-operated machines parked right next to Santa’s house, and of course, how could I miss such a good opportunity to try them for the first time.  Little did Daddy know that those machines no longer cost 25 cents anymore.  The market price for those cool rides is now 75 cents.  This time, Grandpa was there to save the day!

This Came In a Bit Late!

I know my 1-year old birthday was a month ago, but I can’t help it if it took the Production crew this long to gather all the footages, edit them, and upload it to the news site!  After all, I gave the approval to the final cut more than a week ago!  I guess this is what happens when you out-source the work instead of doing the work in-house!

Anyway, here are some un-seen footages of my Big Day at Disneyland…

Just Let Me Sleep!

Why would anyone do this to a 1-year old?  I don’t know.  When I’m tired, I only want to go to sleep.  No more standing around, sitting here or there, and certainly no more jokes.  I want to go to bed and it’s that simple!

 

And when I’m asleep, I don’t like being waken up either.  I mean, what were these people thinking?  When I wake up too often from my sleep, they are not happy.  Now that I’m sleeping, they want to wake me up!  Can someone explain to me why?
