I’ve Met a New Friend Today!

Today, Mommy and Daddy took me out to have lunch with her old schoolmates.  Yes, people that actually went to (the same) school with Mommy (and in this case, Daddy as well).  It means that these people must have known Mommy and Daddy for at least 80+ years!

So we arrived at this vegetarian restaurant and the first thing that I saw… Hellloooo!?

こんにちは. わたしの名前は Addison – dess!

Whoo la la!  A Japanese girl!  I didn’t know Mommy and Daddy went to school in Japan!!?  One look at Daddy and he immediately introduced me to Aunt Sherry and her daughter Yuna.  It turns out that Aunt Sherry is the one who went to the same school with Mommy and Daddy… in Hong Kong, and it is her husband who is Japanese. 

We sat down for a while and it wasn’t long before Aunt Winnie showed up with his latest boyfriend, Alex. 

Throughout the luncheon, I was a bit cranky because I didn’t know that there will be a girl joining me for lunch, and I felt that I wasn’t at my best… to impress.  Furthermore, as you can see from this video below, I was sitting way too far away from Yuna, and I was so worried that Yuna couldn’t get close to me.

 

 

Fortunately, Yuna later had a chance to come closer to me.  I have to say I was very impressed by her demeanor because most girls wouldn’t be able to control themselves once they get within touching distance of me.  I guess the fact that Aunt Sherry (Yuna’s Mom) was there did play a factor. 

 

 

Needless to say, both Yuna and myself stole the show all afternoon.  Here’s a video of Aunt Winnie playing with Yuna and me.

 

 

Last but not least, here are just a few pictures that Daddy took today.

 

What Shall I Tell Him/Her?

Okay, people!  When I was in my Mommy’s tummy, my Guest List looks like this. 

It has been almost a month since I announced that I will be having a younger brother, or sister, come July of this year.  And this is what his/her Guest List looks like. 

Yes!  Sad, isn’t it?  No one cared to drop my future brother/sister a note to congratulate him/her for having such a good looking older brother!  And when I wrote ‘no one’, it literally means that the Guest List has zero entry!  (At time of typing this post.)

I don’t know about you, but I certainly do NOT look forward to explaining this phenomenon to my younger brother/sister.  After all, what do you expect me to tell him/her?  Do you want me to tell him/her that because I’m better looking and that’s why more people signed my Guest List?  Or do you want me to tell him/her that people just like me better than him/her? 

So instead of having myself to deal with this ‘explanation’ in a few years’ time, I’m just going to point him/her to YOU!  And you know who you are!  Oh, and let me warn you ahead of time… it might be easier if it turns out that I’m having a younger brother.  If it happens to be a younger sister… I’m sure you all know how girls are like when they are upset!  Just don’t come running to me to find out what kind of girly dolls she likes!

Daddy, May I Borrow Your Car?

Once again, posting has been light lately because of the various tasks that I have been doing these days.  I didn’t know that the older you can, the more work that you have to do.  Looking at Mommy’s tummy now, I asked myself if I rather be the one who is living inside Mommy’s tummy now?  Or do I rather be the big brother?  I think I’ll stick with being the big brother for now.

So what do you think of that picture above?  Do you think we look alike?  That’s Daddy to the left, and me on the right.  Daddy’s picture was taken when he was living in Taiwan.  My picture was taken during the Chinese New Year Week, when I spent the week at Grandma and Grandpa’s house in Riverside.  As for the cars, I didn’t find out where did that car come from (on the left); but I can tell you that the BMW convertible is Grandma’s car. 

Anyway, back to the picture(s)!  If you like this picture on top, then you’re going to like all the pictures that Daddy took during that Chinese New Year Week holiday.

 

Meanwhile, here are some pictures that Daddy touched up, from Grandma’s collection.

 

Here is a video of me having some fun in Grandma’s BMW and Grandpa’s truck!

My Week-long Chinese New Year Celebration

With so many pictures and videos, it has taken me longer than I thought to get them processed and uploaded.  Finally, they are all done, and I’m proud to share with you some of the highlights of my Chinese New Year week-long celebration at Grandma and Grandpa’s place in Riverside.

Chinese New Year Day (年初一)

Since we were at my other Grandparents house for dinner last night, we didn’t get home until late.  To make things worst, Daddy noticed the tire of our car was running flat, and he was a bit concern if the tire can do another 70 miles trip to Grandma’s house.  So the first thing that Daddy did this morning was to brought the car to a Tire shop for check-up.  The prognosis of both rear tires were not good, and Daddy decided to get some new tires.  Which means that by the time he got home, it was already late in the morning.  With packing has yet to be completed, we did not leave the house until 1pm in the afternoon. 

(By the way, just in case you are wondering, Daddy took a week off from work to celebrate Chinese New Year with the family.)

After an hour or so driving, we arrived at Grandma’s house, and immediately, she fell in love with my outfit!  Seriously, how could you not?  Here’s a video of me playing basketball with my Chinese New Year outfit. 

 

 

What I had almost forgotten, was that I bought a birthday gift for Uncle Chris back in December.  And I thought it was a great opportunity to present to him his belated birthday gift, on Chinese New Year day!

 

 

Then towards the evening, I got to sit by the Mahjong table for the first time! 

 

 

 

And here are some pictures…

 

 

 

Chinese New Year Day 2 (年初二)

I pretty much spent the entire day doing what you see in the video below.  Let me tell you, I was so tired by evening that I fell asleep immediately. Grandpa and Grandma’s house was just too big for me to be running around non-stop all day.

 

 

Chinese New Year Day 3 (年初三)

Aunt Phoebe arrived today from Hong Kong this morning.  Not that I didn’t get enough attention in the past few days, but with Aunt Phoebe around, I’m just going to get even more attention.  Otherwise, I pretty much did the exact same things as I did in the past few days… which is playing my toys.  However, I was also introduced to a new toy today!  It’s the organ.  No one has told me that the organ has been sitting there since the day I was born.  Had it not for the brilliance thinking of my dear Grandma, who thought that I might be interested in expressing the musical side of me, I would have never gotten the chance to play this fine piece of of music instrument!

 

 

Here's a video of me playing my toys while getting everybody’s attention.

 

 

Here are some pictures that we took on this Day 3 of Year of Ox…

 

 

Chinese New Year Day 4 (年初四)

I’m beginning to get used to living in Riverside by now!  There are so much room for me to run around the house that I didn’t even think I was at home.  I thought I was at the playground!  Today continues to be another day of running around the house, and taking plenty of pictures.  By request, I put on the same outfit that I wore on Chinese New Year Day 1, just so that Aunt Phoebe can take a few pictures with me in such outfit.  I was told that I brought shines to the outfit, and I made it look even more expensive!  For the record, it was my dear Grandma who bought this outfit for me while she was in HKG just a few months ago.  Yes, I know I'm good looking.  You don’t have to tell me.

 

 

Chinese New Year Day 5 (年初五)

It’s time to go home!  We woke up and after breakfast, Mommy and Daddy started to pack.  We arrived home by mid-afternoon, and things slowly returned to normal.  It’s been a fun and exciting week.  Once again, Happy Chinese New Year to you all!

Chinese New Year’s Eve Dinner

Now that I’m back at home after a week-long celebration at Grandma’s house, I can finally find some time to update my blog. 

First off, Chinese New Year’s Eve!  We went to Grandma and Grandpa house in Arcadia for our Chinese New Year’s Eve Dinner, also known as 團年飯.  (For the record, Chinese New Year’s Eve was last Sunday, January 25.)

We got there a bit early and I spent some time running around the house, while Grandma and Grandpa were busy preparing dinner.  As the evening approached, all the Grand-Aunts and Grand-Uncles started to arrive.  There were lots of people there.  Aunt Annie, Uncle Joseph, and Uncle Steven were there too.  Unfortunately, my cousin, Annabelle, couldn’t make it because Aunt Vivian took her back to Malaysia to celebrate Chinese New Year.  I guess she just has to wait until next time to find out how much more handsome I am since she last saw me.

As you can see from the pictures below, I wasn’t kidding when I said there were lots of people there!  I guess when it is 團年飯, it really means business, and you better show up!  I’m glad that I did! 

 

Right after dinner, I spent more time running around the house, and this time, I had the help of Grand-Aunt Jean, who was kind enough to take the time to show me the best way to take a step up a stair.

 

Later on, it was time for Grandpa to play with me!

 

And of course, before we left, Grandma gave us all 利是 to ring in the New Year!
