Today is Chinese New Year, and we’re celebrating with Taiwanese style Hot Pot!

Whiskas
Since we already have 3 cats in the house, I thought it was a good idea to get a fish and name it Whiskas.
Andy + Fei
Andy and Fei are getting married in May, here are a few of the photos from their pre wedding/engagement shoot in Downtown LA on Saturday.
Stinky Tofu
I am pretty picky with what I eat and always want to know what’s in the food I’m being served. There’s a lot of things “I don’t like”, while in fact, I’ve actually never tried it… I like to think I’ve gotten a lot better over the last few years though, mostly because my friends have been picking on me, and today I tried Stinky Tofu!
To my surprise, I didnt think it was very stinky at all!
First Photo
With my new camera!
Winter in Los Angeles
There’s a lot of things I could and should have done today, but it was a beautiful day so we took a walk down to the beach instead.
New Years Day
Woke up after just a few hours of sleep, not feeling too hot.
We went to Wood Cafe in hope of wolfing down a veggie breakfast burrito for brunch, but they were super busy, so I had to mentally prepare my body for some Brazilian Veggie Pasta at Cafe Brazil. When we got there, they were off course closed so we went for indian food t Samosa House instead, I think I can eat Samosa House any time any day!
We were all tired and thought we should take a nap to be able to stay awake for tonights festivities, but we didnt want to stay inside on such a beautiful day, so we went down to the beach for a nap.

We ended the day with heading over the hill to Burbank for a Rock Band party, I was surprised I managed to stay awake late for two nights in a row!
Ladybird vs Ladybug
I spent a bunch of time in the UK before moving to the US, I adapted fairly quickly to the American way of pronouncing and the different words, but there are still a few British words that I like to use to my friends amusement. Especially if I’m tired, stressed or spaced out, I automatically go back to default. Plus there is a few British words that I like better, so I keep on using them.
dialling tone — dial tone
hundreds and thousands — sprinkles
ladybird — ladybug
lift — elevator
lollipop — Popsicle
mum — mom
petrol — gas
queue — line
trainers — sneakers
I dont know how many times a day I have to correct myself from writing Colour instead of Color.
More and more rain!
So, Los Angeles have an average of 330 days of sun per year, but it has been raining constantly for a whole week now! We did not quite know what to do when we saw the blue sky peak through around noon today!
10 minutes later it was raining again, and the governator proclaimed state of emergency in six counties.
Paper or Plastic
Still raining, but we managed to get out of the house. Breakfast at Paper or Plastic on Pico Blvd.
