Georgia Vacation

Last week, I went to Georgia to visit MonkeyPig. In fact, all five sisters went, even though MonkeyPig was only expecting two sisters! We had an awesome time. Below are some photos of the interesting and memorable moments.

First night's dinner was a special Vietnamese noodle soup that MP had painstakingly prepared. It was delicious.



The next day was full of fun because MP planned a wonderful barbecue at Pointes West Army Resort. We had kalbi, rice with onion oil, bread, and corn. It was a lovely, lazy day. MP, Wah Toh, and I went canoeing but I don't have photos of that.







We also went to Wormsloe Plantation where they filmed the long drive up to Twelve Oaks in Gone With The Wind. We brought MP's two kids with us!




It was a wonderful five days. Added bonus was our brother-in-law, Mr. Wah Toh, was able to join us and served as the official photographer. The above pics are mine. Mr. Wah Toh's pics are way more professional.

In case you all didn't know, MP is an accomplished doctor and officer in the Army. Here are the coins that generals and high officials give out for major accomplishments. As you can see, MP has a lot of them.


After this trip, on behalf of Tai Wui (the board--i.e., the sisters), I bestow upon MP this coin for a job well done:

Happy Belated Birthdays!!

I have been so remiss these past couple of months.  Please, everyone, accept my apologies for missing three birthdays.  THREE!!!  Oy...

First, happy birthday to Willy Wonka!!  I know that any cake I find will not be up to snuff taste-wise when compared to the delicious fabulosity that you've created in the past.  Here's to another 50 years of baking and cooking for the common good!

Second, happy birthday to A-dog!!  For you, I have chosen a king cake.  Why?  Well, there's a Chinese saying that goes like this: 物似主人形 (object resembles owner's form).  I hope you like it and CONGRATULATIONS!!

And, last but not least, is my dearest L. Woods!  Happy birthday!  I know that you're super busy right now and that all you'd like to do is to have just a few hours of good sleep.  So, here is a Xanax and whiskey cake for you!  Sweet dreams!

Happy Belated Birthday to Ghetto FOBulous!

Happy happy day, Ghetto FOBulous!  I have selected a flourless, sugarless chocolate cake for you!  I hope that you will like it.

Happy Belated Birthday to Freelance Midget!

Hello, Midge!  I hope you are doing okay over in Boston.  Here are some egg tarts for your birthday.  They are the really good kind with the crunchy and almost burnt edges.  Don't eat them all in one sitting!

Update Woo and Baysee

Didn't have enough bites for Woo's recent pic. Here she is...older with more white hair. But still the queen of the house. Though, I noticed that she's starting to fall a bit more on the slippery tile in the kitchen. But, she still loves to walk and explore when we do our run. Baysee still has his incredible big floppy ears. I swear he's Dumbo reincarnation.

Winter Solstice Eclipse

Hi
Just wanted to share with you all the eclipse that occurred 21 Dec 2010 - winter solstice. It was worth the wait.
It was a cold winter night. I had a trusty little friend by my side. It was too cold for him to be there for the entire solstice. To keep me company and safe, he would come out by my side for a few minutes, then go back into the house to watch me through the doggie door.
Looking at that big sorry eyes, how can anyone be mad at him for stealing part of the BD cake. I did give him a treat.
Woo's doing great. She's too smart to brave the cold winter night during the eclipse. She had her own eclipse in her dream.

THANKS FELLOW Nu-ans and Nu-ettes

Thanks fellow Nonnies for the birthday blessings.

I had a great birthday weekend!!

Was not on-call (not deliberate. Just happened that way.). It had been a long 3 weeks since I came back from New Year's break. Straight through without a day off and working till the wee hours of the morn. In 2 wks, delivered about 12 babies, to include 2 sets of twins. But, Friday was great. Got off by 6 pm. Had lousy Vietnamese Bun Bo Hue. Bought a mini BD cake with butter cream frosting.

Saturday was great! Jogged in the morning. Breakfast in a leisurely manner. Went to the park for another stroll with the kids and talked to my friends on the phone. Had more Vietnamese food. This time was better - Pho. Went to a play -- "Rabbit's Hole". It was a waste of 20 bucks. The actors weren't bad. Just not what I expected. Too serious. About a couples' dealing with the death of their 4 years old son. Went home and watched a great Sherlock Holmes movie from the BBC.

Woke up around 9 this morning by Baysee. Cute little guy. But, he did not earn too much kudos from me when he stole 1/2 the birth day cake. As you can see, it was a great bachelorette version of breakfast in bed -- surfing the net while watching TV and eating breakfast.

The kids were really interested in whatever left over of the mini BD cake. But, it was such a small portion that I had to break out the left over fruit cake from X-mas. Needless to say, Baysee did not get a morsel. But, Woo did.

Thanks again for such a great birthday!!
