mom's bday plus mine!

Helloooo!

My long overdue family bday dinner pics have finally been sent to me by my darling little sister, plus the pictures from my mom's bday lunch!

I was originally going to make it one big massive post along with the stuff I recently bought.. but seeing as how the stuff might not get here until next week.. and I'm bored out of my mind right now, I decided why not just post what I have. LOL. If you're looking for makeup related stuff that's not in this entry and you can just skip this. :) This is going to be a family post with whatever stories I can remember so that I can go back to this post one day in the future and go.. OH YEA!!! LOL.. lame I know. Onwards silver bullet!

My 21st bday family dinner at Gyu Kaku.

One of the appetizers.. and probably the only food picture you'll get. We all got too excited because we were hungry.. so uhh.. what WAS pictured wasn't pretty. LMAO.


My parents! And the grills we cooked on


First legal drink of the night.. lychee shoju


i look tired.. me and the bubby!


eddy, diana, debbie, sam (blocked by debbie)



OMG!!!! I don't know if I posted this story yet.. but if I did, skip this, if I didn't READ!! HEHEHEHE!! Ok so my cousins ordered a pitcher of beer.. because you know.. my alcoholic family can't resist ordering alcohol when it's time to celebrate.... ANYTHING.. but my cousin Eddy is allergic to alcohol and has ZERO tolerance for it. He drank like.... 1/4 of his mug before saying he had to go to the bathroom to pee. Ok, so he leaves, 15 minutes later.. he comes back, rubbing his eyes and looking very tired. We're all.. what happened did you take a crap or something? He said.. "no... I fell asleep on the toilet" HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! WOW....


bubby and I again!


let's skip to dessert.... complimentary smores! yess.. forrealllll. Jessica left hers on for too long so the marshmellow melted down onto the grill. You see the beer of the alcoholic family


My parents were FASCINATED by the smores.. they've seen them on tv and in movies but they didn't know how to actually make one or how they tasted. My mom was afraid to try it thinking it might be too sweet, but I taught them both how to make it and assembled it for them and forced my dad to take a bite. Guess what? He LOVED it and ate the whole thing. He made one for my mom and got her to eat it too! HAHAHAHHA!!!


jess and ross. L..M..A..O... matching marshmellow lipsticks.


my cake!! that I shared with my cousins.. booo.


Interesting bday cake flavor.. my sister was in charge of finding a cake and she picked a mocchi cake.. so it's basically white cake with a layer of mocchi in the middle.. I loved it because I love mocchi but my mom was all.. WHYYYY .. because she doesn't like sweets that much HAHHAHA!


Bday people. Me (real bday), debbie and eddy (in a few days), sam (passed a while ago) hmph!! I had to share my bday with other ppl.. boooo!!!!!


what's eddy doing?


I'll cut the cake while debbie stares at me, while eddy looks longingly at sam's breasts.


family plus bfs plus cousins plus friends... sigh... oh daddy (right) .... he can never take a normal pictures. LOL i guess I get it from him??


my sis got me a hamburger phone!!! HAHAHAHA!!! Cool you can see one of my boots that I rarely wear out.



mommy's 50th bday lunch!!

So for my mom's bday.. we were supposed to have brunch with my cousins and relatives at a dim sum place (yes.. we are very typical) but there was some last minute argueing so that was cancelled.. but then my sister called everyone and told them it was on again as a surprise for my mother.. only she FOUND OUT about it.. and didn't want it. Push came to shove and in the end, it was too late to make a reservation for a big room for us at the dim sum place so we decided to let mom decide where she wanted to eat. Her eyes like... LIT UP and she said Todai at Orange (although.. I have to say I prefer the brunch at Queen Mary more)

I know what you're thinking.. eww Todai.. I don't particularily like that buffet.. esp not the one in Puente, Newport, etc.. I've been to like 3 different branches and weren't very fond of them. The seafood had that strong taste to it and usually everything else was ok and not really worth all the money you pay for. But THIS branch.. I LOVED. It was very hygenic compared to the other ones I've been to and the seafood here did NOT have that nasty scent/taste. To my surprise they had Korean BBQ meat there as well, which was also delicious!

UMMM.. you know those families who are so embarassing when they go out together? The ones that carry a lot of cameras and have to take pictures of everything and are super loud and stuff? Yea that's my family :) As cousins, we know there's email, we use email, we know we can email each other pictures, but we all insist on using our own cameras for pictures.. so we end up staying in one pose for the duration of 4 cameras being used. LMAO!!!! Onto the pictures!


AWWWW!!! Isn't she cute?!?!! This is my fav picture of the birthday girl..... and my shoulder. lol!!



me, mommy, jessica


OH YEA!! I FORGOT TO MENTION!! My sister has virgin hair.. she's never dyed it in her whole LIFE. She finally decided to change it and got this bright auburn walnut color. I think her old dark her suits her more but hey that's just my opinion. My black hair has turned kind of brown.. as you can see.. blehhh.. I might go dye it even darker soon. Or not.. maybe lighter since summer is coming!

Ok so towards the end, we had the waiters do their embarassing song and jingle for my mom, revenge for previous bday embarassments I tell you!! So they came out with this plate that had a big glob of whipped cream in the middle with a candle sticking out. We were all trying to figure out if it was actually a CAKE or just... whipped cream.... lol!! So after the pic, I poked around it.. thought it was really whipped cream but finally in the dead center... lik the size of a block about one inch by one inch.. I found the white cake. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... cheapskates.

"is that... a CAKE?"


she blew out the candles!!


mom, jess, me


family (oh yes my sister is naturally THAT tall.. LMAO!!!!!!)


danny and his new gf



Umm.. I don't really have an opinion on her.. as she was VERY quiet during the lunch. Me and my cousins would try to get her involved in our conversations and joke around with her but she pretty much refused to be SOCIAL. If we asked her a question.. it would take like.. 5 minutes to get a response.. if at all. I know she's probably scared due to the circumstances through which she's meeting us.. but we're trying to make the best out of everything and make her feel welcome.. but she kinda seems like she doesn't want to have anything to do with us.. sooo.. I don't know. Me and my other cousins were talking about it and we just agreed to keep trying to get her to open up to us. We're not even against their decision! We're all pretty much for the baby, except my mom, which is why we were trying to make her feel comfortable.


me and jess


funny pose! ppl at the restaurant were probably like.. wtf..


me, jess, mimi and david


TEEHEEEEE.. in about a week.. Mimi will decide whether or not she will have "good" news to tell us!!!! I really hope it works.. these two are such a cute couple.. and his family loves her to DEATH! They both really want to have kids.. but sadly.. she's had problems with her period ever since she was a kid.. and well.. basically.. she's unable to have a baby. They've recently took the leap and invested in invetro.. so cross your fingers girls!!!! I want to be an auntie... part 2!!!

me and my sister!


.... jessica's so evil she breathes out FIRE!


me, mimi, jessica (jackie's wife)


jess, me, mimi, jessica LOL


david, jackie, me, danny (bro), eddy, ting ting, jessica


So after lunch me, my mom, my lil sis, and her bf Ross drove to Azusa so my mom could meet up with her old friend Vicky at a cafe.. I have pictures of the cakes (and the nibbles from me) on my BB but I haven't uploaded them from there yet lol. They were discussing confidential business that involved her husband.. who's position I can't say.. because I wasn't paying attention but he has money coming out of his ass basically.. and from what I gathered later, she was afraid and needed advice because a person who her husband considers to be a close friend might harm him financially. This "friend" is the type of person who would do ANYTHING for personal gain.. if he needs to stab you in the back to do it, he will, without blinking or shedding a tear. Mom was being secretive and hush hush about it when she was telling me some of this.. and I shocked her pants off when I guessed who it was and got it right on the first try. LOL! Anyways..

Me, Jess, Ross went to get boba and shop around for a little bit.. and in the hills that were a few miles away from where we were.. a random fire appeared and was burning like a mother fucker. It was getting to be a pretty good size but the fire dept finally got there after a while and put it out. Later when my mom was done talking to her friend, we went to South Coast to shop until the mall closed. Nothing too exciting, just some mother daughter bonding I suppose.

OH OH OH!! I forgot to mention. Eddy, my cousin no the far right.. works at East West Bank in Chino Hills here in So Cal. Well.. last week, his bank got robbed by 3 men WHILE he was working. The men came in and one went straight up to the manager, who's also Eddy's friend named Olympic, and basically slugged him and beat him up until he blacked out. Then he grabbed the guy and forced him back to the vault to get the cash. One of the guys jumped over the counter where Eddy was and tried to punch him but eddy just moved aside and dodged it. Eddy says he didn't actually see any guns physically.. but they had their pockets pointed as if they had guns in there, you know what I mean? So everything basically happened in 15 minutes.. and when the robbers weren't looking eddy stepped on the alarm.. but it was too late, they just left. However.. one of the robbers had left his wallet!!!! Bad thing was.. it was a stolen wallet with a different person's ID. Some of the bankers were excited because they had seen the vehicle's license plate number! But then.. they reviewed some security tapes and saw that the robbers had driven the vehicle around the corner, ditched it, and hopped into another vehicle that had come to pick them up. So basically ... they knew what they were doing, knew who the staff was (who was manager, who was assist manager.. etc).. so eddy thinks they're not amateurs at all. God I'd be scared out of my mind.. and this is the second time in a year that this bank has been robbed.

*shudders*

Ok.. time to sleep.. I have class tmrw!

Nothing exciting right? Told you, all family post. :) My family is so weird when we get together.. man I want to type out some pieces of the conversations we had on here.. but when translated into english from chinese.. they aren't as funny.. gahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

HMM.. the other day I was eatting gummy worms and decided.. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! My babe likes to whip out his penis sometimes and chase me around with it.. or if I'm laying on the couch.. he'll sneak up from behind my head.. whip out his penis really fast and slap my forehead with it.. then run away laughing before I can slap his dick.

Soooo.. he was sitting on the couch and I ran up to the couch, jumped up on it, held a gummy worm to my crouch and flicked it around in his face. He claims that's not how his penis looks when he's doing that but I swearrrrr, it is. :) He started chocking because he was laughing so hard.

I know, I'm immature sometimes.

Time to sleep!
