    • 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.

    Kendall’s Surprise Birthday Party

    By Leighton | August 9, 2008

    Today is Kendall’s birthday, but we celebrated it yesterday. I went outside to play Tennis with Kendall for a little while, then invited him in to play Age of Empires 2 with me. We started when I started complaining that I was starving, and that we should go get Wendy’s or something. He was also hungry, so he offered to pay for me if I drove him there. I went to ask mom if we could borrow the car, and she agreed as long as we had it back by 8.
    So off we went. We paused our game first. Then when we got there, I told him I would treat him but we had to go inside to sit down and eat. So we went in, ordered some Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers (my last Wendy’s I’ll have in a while) and some Frosty’s, then ate. When we were on our way back, I called mom to ask her if I should pick up some cereal. She said we had some already, so I told her we were almost home. Then when we got home, Kendall and I walked inside. The lights were all off and there was a cake on the counter. When Kendall was almost to the kitchen, tons of kids jumped out and dumped balloons and confetti on him while yelling ‘Surprise!’ You should have seen the look on Kendall’s face. He was totally shocked! He was like, what about Age of Empires? Haha. We had cake and ice-cream and sang to him and then he played outside with his friends. We also gave him his presents. I was the accomplice to get him out of the house so that his friends could come over. He fell right into the trap. Later, he asked me, “What if I didn’t want to go to Wendy’s, what would you have done?” Yeah right, he always is up for Wendy’s ahaha. We all had a lot of fun. Happy Birthday, Kendall!!
