So... There.

This is really sad. I've been staring at the computer for a while now and I have nothing to say. I have a forum where I can share my point of view, speak my mind, actually provoke some deeper, more philosophical thought... and nothing. Ta-dah! Still Nothing.

I suppose I could tell you that Angelina Jolie is pregnant, Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe have split and Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson had a contract stating their marriage should last 41 months - I've obviously spent my entire evening reading gossip blogs.

So for lack of anything more insightful, substantial or interesting to say (my life is really boring these days and I'm afraid to alienate my 2 readers with more horror stories on India), I am posting the results of a survey I just took which apparently offers the keys to my heart.

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.
In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.
You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You're feeling self centered.

And with still nothing to say, another survey to post!!

You Are a Traveler Soul
You're a thrill seeker who loves to be active and on the move. You love to wander: between places, ideas, and people. A good communicator, you're a nonconformist and interested in the world. You are an explorer, a good storyteller, and a true dreamer. Because you're always on the move, you can be a bit fickle. It's difficult for you to make personal commitments. Don't be so quick to ignore emotional issues and problems. You're much more intuitive and psychic than you think. Souls you are most compatible with: Retrospective Soul and Dreaming Soul

Sounds like me?

I'm so bored.

Meanie Me

Wong just had her 1st ever adult drinking party. For some reason, I was getting so sentimental on my way to pick her up last night. It felt like a milestone in her life - her baptism into adulthood. Sniff sniff... With this vodka tonic, you are hereby inducted into the world of money concerns, broken hearts and responsibility.

Time flies, and the universe conspires to make it seem all the more apparent. Wong starts drinking as soon as Yotch leaves. Wah. All of my sisters are growing up so fast - too fast for me to adjust to. Then again, I don't think there's ever a right time for them to grow up. It just happens on you.

Man, I'm going to be a wreck when they get married. Sigh. I can't imagine what it will be like when I have my own kids. Argh.

I do get a little reprieve from too much sisterly independence. I don't think Wong will be drinking again any time soon. She got hives, or an allergic reaction of some sort, to her 2 shots of vodka tonic. She says 2 hours of super fun partying is so not worth a full week's worth of itching (insert evil laugh here).

If only Yotch felt the same way about the States... :) Mean, mean, meanie me.

Happy New Year!!



Happy New Year to everyone!! That's my family right after the stroke of midnight - we'd just had our midnight snack of Country Chicken (picture below :) and finished shooting up super lots of fireworks. This year was great, my dad is finally experimenting with things other than just firecrackers. Of course, Yotch took advantage and ordered lots of Roman Candles for the maids.

We all had dirty noses after but it was fun. Bwibs was so scared at first until we told him boys don't get scared. If only it were really true. :)


That was us before Yotch, Mama and I got drunk on a bottle of red wine no one else wanted to have. I'm going to miss all the traditions - the ang pao's, hanging the trinkets on the tree for every new baby, the New Year midnight meal after fireworks and now, hopefully, a new one - getting drunk, laughing our asses off and taking funny pictures of ourselves and dragging Papa along with us for the ride. :)


That was fun. I hope it's a sign of good things to come this new year.
