words, images, life
I seem to always slow down on my posts when a year comes to its end. This was true last year, but it’s especially bad this year. By now there are 4 trips that I haven’t written a word about, plus loads of other going - ons that went un-documented.
Oh well, this means I am living [...]
Sometimes mom is very weird in an amusing way, and sometimes, I benefit from it.
The story goes like this. She travels between Taiwan and the U.S. a lot, and no matter where she is, she has the habit of taking afternoon walks. While taking a walk in our neighborhood in Taitung, Taiwan, she discovered that [...]
I have a grand uncle who, honestly, I didn’t enjoy hanging out with all that much when he was little. I thought he talked loud, dressed funny, walked with a wobble, behaved like a peasant, and was just overall too countryside-ish. He owned a bookstore, and sold middle school study materials as a side job. [...]
John and I have returned from our big Taiwan + Singapore + honeymoon in Maldives trip for almost three weeks now so it’s time that I start a committed process to document the trip.
Taiwan was our first stop, because we had a mission to do, and that was to hold two additional wedding receptions [...]
After the ceremony was over, John and I felt a lot more relaxed, and that’s when the fun started! In between the ceremony and the dinner banquet, we had our couple’s photo session, then we went back to our villa where I changed my hair style and had my bridal gown all bustled up. In [...]
4:30pm - 6:00pm
I actually don’t know exactly what time our ceremony finally started, except that it was at least 40 minutes past our original scheduled time.
Yay! It was the moment I waited for for so long!
The rose arbor looked fantastic! Don’t you think? The wisteria flowers were in peak bloom, the roses that weren’t there [...]
Please tell me that it is completely normal to feel exhausted for weeks after the wedding, or else I’ll feel too old! After our wedding, I felt tired for three full weeks! Now I am finally almost fully recovered from months of stress and weeks of exhaustion, I am ready to write about the wedding [...]
We stayed up till 3:30am to choreograph our first dance together. Using the steps and moves we learned from a crash course for the past three weekends, we are pretty happy with the choreography. The song of choice is “Love of My Life” by Jim Brickman. I absolutely love the song. Here’s the lyric:
I am amazed
When [...]
A couple of weeks ago, my brother and I went on fishing trip with a couple of friends. It was a much-anticipated trip, because it was my very first real fishing experience! Hehe, I am always up for trying something new.
The trip actually took more than a month to arrange among just several people, mostly [...]
It has been a while since the last time my sister played the piano, but now, right at this minute, there’s sound of her beautiful music floating throughout the house.
I am SO GLAD to hear that!
She’s a natural pianist - someone I adore, and envied even because of how gifted she is at piano. Ever since [...]
