Happy day before labor day everyone!

I hope everyone enjoys their vacation day tomorrow if you've started school or work. To those of you like me who haven't started yet, HOORAY for another bummy day!

Alrighhhhhhhty then, just a recap about what I did today and some pictures!

Woke up at like.. 8:40 AM or so to the sound of my sister fumbling around with paper on my desk. She wanted to scan and copy some things from her book but I smelled something fishy because it's Sunday, that copying can wait, and WHAT DO YOU WANTTT? 

She wanted to go to dim sum. At 11 or 11:30. Ok, so why get me up? To make sure I'm going to go and be on time. OY!!!! GAN NI!! (hasn't been noticed yet but throughout my blogs, I use chinese when i have no other way to express my feelings)

So off to dim sum we went. DANNNNNNG there were so many people waiting to get in that restaurant.. they were packed inside and flooding outside. Didn't wait too long though, as I firmly believe my mother is part of some kind of underground asian mafia. Me and my cousins have all tossed this idea around and we all are very convinced of it now. 

Mother dropped me off at home for a little bit so she could do her hair but later came back and picked me up while Jess and Ross went to Ikea. Where did we go? Off to a baker of mooncakes! Normally we buy traditional Cantonese style mooncakes (typical square ones you all see) but there's been a growing popularity among these two bakers who work from home and create Taiwanese style mooncakes (harder to find). It's run by a couple, and the wife just happened to be the cousin of Jessica, who is married to my cousin Jackie! I had a slice of it and ooomg, they were wonderful. 

This was the best picture I could find of the taiwanese style. It's a flakey white bun, usually stamed with a red trademark on the top and filled with various things from sweets to meat.

We are now prepared for the mid-autumn festival (not a real festival, it's a holiday)! Mark your calenders everyone and prepare to consume many mooncakes! But uhh.. I hope you all keep it smart because it's a well known fact that canto-style mooncakes are about 1,000 Calories each while Taiwanese can go up to about 700 Calories each. Don't get chubby now!

So after that we went to dinner at my uncle's sushi place (Yoshi's Sushi located in Yorba Linda if you're curious) and while Jess and Ross went to rent movies, me and my mom went to deliver a box of mooncakes to my old babysitter (grew up with her). DUDE! Everything about their house has changed!! The color.. the patio.. the lawn.. the stairs.. the inside.. the backyard.. everything! It made me a little nostalgic being inside but at the same time, so many things had changed. :) My old babysitter didn't even recognize me and couldn't believe how much I've changed. That woman taught me how to play blackjack, turtle, and other stuff!! I LOVE HER!! 

We then went off to drop a box of mooncakes at my great grand uncle's house and finally went home. =D I saved a box for Christian's family.. hopefully they'll like it? 

Ok, so like I had said in my previous post, I dyed my hair. Here we go!

SOOOOO much better than my old hair nasty dull faded brown that was flat and over 8 months old. LOL. Jessica bets my hair will turn orange in two days because I did it myself. HMPH!

Now, the ring Christian got me! 

It's a cheapy ring and you guys might not like it but I love it so take that! :D YEA!

Oh and now the nails I painted.. don't laugh. I added rhinestones because I felt like it.

Now the sad thing is, I only did one hand because I can't paint well with my left.. so I have one hand painted and the other bare. :) YAy!

Ok that's all for today. Toodles!
