The Parents Service and Fried Sauce Noodles

October 18, 2011 eating out

I wish my parents will just move to the west coast already. They were only visiting for four days, but I almost got used to coming back home from school and discovering my apartment sparkling clean. Only parents would do something like that. Fatigued by jet lag and three weeks of missionary work, and yet [...]

My Parents’ Vacation

August 13, 2010 eating out

When a group of people travel together, you’re bound to have to make some compromises. Most likely, you’re gonna want to travel with people who share the same interests as you, but when you’re stuck traveling with family…well, God bless them, but sometimes, you just can’t get along.

Eloquence is Overrated

June 16, 2010 eating out

Look Big to Be Big

June 11, 2010 Uncategorized

I know a lot of virtuous people personally. People with beautiful traits and character which earn my respect and admiration. These people awe me with their strength, their endurance, their wits, their generosity, their compassion, their faith, and yeah, I can go on and on. But.

Nice! Very Nice! Very Very Nice!

May 30, 2010 eating out

My friend Jing Wen has an expression to describe practically everything: “It’s nice!” New pair of fashionable shoes? “It’s nice!” Fun trip overseas? “It’s nice!” Perfect sunny weather with a cool breeze? “It’s nice!” A yummy plate of noodles? “It’s nice!” A really yummy plate of noodles? “It’s really nice!” A really, really yummy plate [...]
