"The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher."

Cakes Galore
(1.8.05)
I was invited to go along with my cousin and her friend to cake tasting in the quest for the perfect wedding cake. We headed over to A Piece of Cake. The sample cakes were delicious and the cakes they had on display were pretty.

Randy's Wedding Banquet (11.30.02)
My cousin held his wedding reception at King's China Bistro in Daly City. Here a bunch of pictures of the bride (Angela) & groom as well as family and relatives. Out of the 366 pictures that I took, I have chosen these 14.

Thanksgiving 2002 (11.28.02)
This year was a crazily-huge-whopping 39 person feast involving two 20-pound turkeys, a really big pot of chow mein, and the game of Life. Amongst the madness, I stole a few pictures (and one was taken of me with the drumstick of a 20 lbs turkey). There was a variety of food available for the eating and a ton of leftovers when it was over. Post-dinner activity including dismantling 2 of the 3 dinner tables and moving one of the tables back into its propper home. Also, I enjoyed some board games with my cousins & relatives.

Fun At Sunset Super (10.6.01)

Eric Hong Red Egg Party (7.14.01)
Around 6:39pm on April 13,2001, the Hong family smiled as it welcomed Eric Michael Hong to it. 3 months later, the rest of us relatives celebrated at the Moonstar Restaurant in San Francisco. I finally got to see my cousin's son although for the times I saw him, he was either crying or sleeping. It was a really long day for him, and I suppose being held by dozens of strangers didn't help out either.

Thanksgiving 2000
Last year's Thanksgiving was pretty entertaining. My brother (who's in the second picture) brought back his leftover fro from Halloween and decided to let relatives wear them. I managed to steal a photo of him and my cousin Randy wearing it. Also, my brother had gotten his new snowboard bindings and was mounting them on his board since he was going snowboarding the next day. My little cousin Sarah was starting her snowboarding at a very early age.

Maria's Wedding (8.26.00)
My cousin Maria married Chris on a beautiful summer day in Palo Alto. Some pictures of key moments during the ceremony are shown here. I also have one of the only pictures of their wedding cake. It was delicious!! Unfortunately, I have no pictures of the dinner recption which was held at the Mayflower Restaurant in Milpitas. During the downtime, I hung out at my brother's apartment in Sunnyvale and left the camera there.

I had a few photos lying around. I don't know who took these though.

Sandra's Graduation (6.9.00)
My cousin Sandra graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo on a really hot day. Thank goodness their ceremony was indoors! My family drove down from San Francisco to gather with other proud family members to cheer her on during her 10 seconds of glory.

Old Photos Of My Parents
My parents dug up some old photos of when they were still back in Hong Kong and China. Heh, it's pretty cool to see how they looked like when they were young and having fun.
