    • I'm a pregger. January 30, 2012
      Well, the stick showed it, and the ob/gyn confirmed it. So I guess I am officially pregnant now! The baby is in its week 7 and is the size of a blueberry. This week the baby is developing arms and legs. It's mind-boggling a 'thing' the size of a blueberry has hands and feet!Wow, it sounds so surreal! When I took the pregnancy test, I was expec […]

    • Happy Chinese New Year! January 23, 2012
      Yay! The first day of Chinese New Year. This is the year of the dragon, which is probably the most auspicious year for the Chinese, since we Chinese are the descendants of the dragon.Every year during this time I miss my family terribly. It's supposed to be a time for family gathering and I miss out on that every year ever since I moved to the U.S. Sigh […]

    • Story #358: Thanksgiving 2011 November 26, 2011
      Happy Thanksgiving! I had a great time in Las Vegas with my cousins and their families. One of my cousins and her daughter flew in from Malaysia and they drove to Las Vegas with my other cousin and her family. It was so great to see them and get caught up on each other's life. This was the first time I celebrated Thanksgiving with my side of the family […]

    The Cheesecake Factory on my Birthday!

    By Leighton | April 14, 2008


    April 12th was my 22nd Birthday! Sharon, Brandon, Dan, Kurt and I all went to the Cheesecake factory because Kurt’s mom gave us giftcards. We had sort of a joint celebration because it was Kurt’s Birthday in a couple weeks as well. Sharon got a huge burger and fries, while I got the five-cheese pasta. Both were amazingly delicious! Then we were so full, we decided just to split a cheesecake. We got some kind of White Chocolate with Raspberry type of cake, and it was SUPER good! I LOVE CHEESE CAKE! Haha. We barely finished it, then rolled out of the store and got in the car. When we got home, we took a nap on the couch, then Sharon took me to a surprise she had planned at the school, telling me to dress up first. So I put on a tie and we went. The surprise turned out to be a dance recital from the Social Dance class. We ate the food they had and danced along to as many songs as we could. We didn’t know how to dance them, but we learned fast by watching those around us. My favorite was the Waltz (because it was the easiest, hehe) But we also danced some kind of Turkish step and the Cha-Cha. Then we came home and went for a walk on the beach barefoot, stopping at the playground on the way home to just be with each other. Then we went home and fell asleep on the couch again. When we woke up (around 1 am) I took Sharon home. That was my Birthday. It was a blast! The best part was being with the one I love… Thank you Sharon~
