The Bunny’s Fat Spoon

October 16, 2011 dinner event

It’s amusing how much you take after a parent, from the shape of your eyes, the width of your nose, to your personality and interests. As much as I would love to have inherited my mom’s sweet gentleness, I mostly take after my dad. I have his temper. I have his stubbornness. I have his [...]

Superstars

June 2, 2011 eating out

Whoa, time is flying by! I can’t believe the second week of my internship is almost over. Things are getting really busy at work, so to be honest, I didn’t really feel like blogging at all. After a 8-9 hour’s day of work, I just want to come home and watch a 30 Rock marathon. [...]

Ready for Dumplings

January 10, 2011 Los Angeles

I go back to school tomorrow. Oh wow. It feels like just yesterday when I cheered, “I AM DONE WITH FINALS!!” while listening to Christmas jingles and planning a list of things to bake during the holidays. Oh wow. I am so not ready to go back to school. But hey, when are you ever [...]

Thank You Letter to God

November 26, 2010 dinner event

Dear God, I tried. I really tried to think about all the things for which I need to thank you. I tried to list them down. I tried to organize them into neat categories, so that I knew I’d have three main thanksgivings to share during tonight’s Thanksgiving dinner. I tried. And I failed. Because [...]
