mission impossible 3

we watched mi3 this weekend, it was better than i expected. i didn't want to watch it because i seriously can not stand tom cruise anymore after that whole katie holmes (i mean, kate cruise!!) episode. ugh. grosses me out. anyways.

there's one scene in shanghai where tom cruise is running and he's shouting "zou kai! zou kai!" (move in chinese) and after that, simon used the phrase the whooole weekend. we watched it fri night, and he used it all of sat when we were sf. plus he says it really funny too, his sounded like joe thai..haha.

simon's gf was visiting for the weekend and so were two of julian's friends. on sat we went to golden gate park (a veery nice day) and we walked around the de Young museum in the park, it was a fine arts museum i think. we were only in there for an hour or so. ate at a good japanese restaurant called maki in japan town.

sun we went to eat dim sum and waited an hour cause everyone was going for mother's day i guess. parking was annoying too. and for dinner we went with my mom to layang layang (malaysian) pretty good, julian liked it!

this weekend was soo busy and sooo much eating!

show recommendations in vegas

avenue q has been cancelled in las vegas! apparently the wynn signed an exclusive deal with avenue q to only be in vegas and not go on tour, but i guess it wasn't making enough money or something, so it's been cancelled! so now we don't have a show to watch when we go in july. but now that it won't be at the wynn, they will be going on tour to a city near you soon!

so now we need some recommendations on some good shows. the shows we are considering: all the cirque shows except zumanity because we've seen it already (ka, o, or mystere), lance burton (i dunno about this but julian suggested a magic show heh) i think those are our only choices, so most likely we'll try to catch a cirque show. but which one??

we have a ghost!

last night our vcr mysteriously started recording at 2am. it was very very weird. our vcr is old so it makes a lot of noise when it starts recording so it woke us up. the only thing that i have set for recording is a weekly wed 8-9pm recording which i set 3 weeks ago! i checked the vcr date & time this morning and it is set correctly. hrmm. i have no other explanation and neither does julian, so i've decided that it was a ghost! freaky! and the remote was next to the tv on top of our drawers, so we didn't sleep on it and it's too tall for tofu to reach!

picture entry

this was when we first got tofu, she's so small!


so cute!


this is her fat stage when we didn't give her a haircut for a looong time. she looks sooo big! i didn't think she looked that bad in real life haha


tofu likes to sunbathe, she always goes to find the patch of sun on the ground or on the sofa


another sunbathing photo and chewing her toy!


this is what she does a majority of the time, sleep!!


her tear stains are a lot better now. we have some pics where it looks sooo bad. and we now keep her hair a lot shorter! much cuter that way. she's almost 9 months and hasn't had a potty accident in the house for a while now! and she goes peepee outside now, but poopoo is still inside but always on her pad. she has done some naughty things while we're gone though, like eating a huge slice of carrot cake that we left on the coffee table! and knocking over (and breaking!) a glass we had on the table. i guess it's our own fault for leaving stuff on the table, ugh. at least she doesn't like our shoes! she's our little sweetie pie but i'm soooo glad the puppy years are almost over. she is so much better now that is older!!

halfway there

5 weeks down, 5 more to go. i'm chugging along, i'm mildly stressed with the schoolwork, i'm really hating writing a 2-3 paper each week. even though it doesn't seem like much, i hate using my free time to do such things. in addition i have to work on my 8 page midterm as well. yuck.

we're going to our first wedding of the year this saturday. since we have so many weddings to go to, i've bought several new dresses hehe. oh yeah, and the coworker that i said that was going to propose soon? well he did. and the wedding is going to be in dec! not next year as i thought! so there's another to our long list of weddings. supposedly 2006 is a lucky year to get married. and 2005 was a very bad year to get married. good thing i'm not superstitious!
