"in the dark, on the phone"
lying here in the dark,the first bar of john mayer's guitar strumming strikes a memorychord of the time you sat in our car after a night out. for some reason, your car was at
judson's house and we had to send you there. I remembered playing a mixed cd with
songs like Iris, All my life, St Patricks Day. at the beginning of each song you made a
very Andrew like expression of how much you enjoyed these songs. I remember how
delighted I was that you loved the songs I chose and how I wished Judson stayed fur-
ther just so we could have your company in the car for a little while longer.

the other day we, Xing, Kimi, Woozy & I finally started our first round of house huntingfor the coming year. apparently if you want to get good houses, you have to start wayy
wayy wayy ahead of time. I find the whole prospect of house hunting, making pro cons
list, visiting and inspecting on how people live their lives very exciting and entertaining.
on a side note, houses with mouldy wet stains on bathroom walls should be avoided
at all cost. we didn’t manage to get any closer to finding a proper house to everyone's
liking and budget but now that the first round is done and over with, I've got a pretty
good idea of what to look for and and what to expect. 2nd round next week! Here are
some images that popped into my head when thinking of a new house. :D
Kimmy and I can't wait to go IKEA shopping. hahaha

a little family time
think God planned a 'perfect' weather for a day in the park according to our guide, Albert
who entertained us the entire day with stories of his childhood, funny jokes about his
kid and wife, Yosemite facts; things you wouldnt know about ever famous Silicon
Valley, plus founders of Google & Yahoo and such. Snowfall the day before left us with
an ankle height carpet of freshly fallen snow and constant sunshine the entire day. yays.
Yosemite Park is a good 4 hours drive from San Fran if you include in snacking stops
in Oakdale that reminded me of Vancouver and the morning jam outside the city which
brought you through a transition of sunshine and fog. we hiked up and down the trails
ooohing and aaahiing at every little corner. Every once in a while, if you looked up
wards a shower of snow will catch you by suprise falling right onto your face and or
even right into your eye. but its super pretty watching that snowfall through the sun
light - you know how you always wished you could shrink yourself and teleport
yourself into one of the tiny snowglobes? well, it felt exactly like that. standing in the
middle of a huge snowglobe. Magical. :)
