I was in no mood for taking photos today, but I went out anyway. Leo showed me how to do the HDR effect in photoshop which is kind of cool, but to much work I think. I prefer not doing a lot of post-production on my photos.

Fei and Andy is getting married!
I woke up bright and early to make the wedding cake for today’s celebrations.

It’s been 5 years since I did anything like this before, but it was a lot of fun, and it did not take as long as I expected! I’m glad they only wanted a small one though, and not one with 10 different layers.

Very soon after, it was time for hair and make up for the bride and bridesmaid, and off course time for the bridesmaid to touch up her speech.

We had decorated our place with traditional Taiwanese signs for good luck.

Then the groom arrived with gifts in exchange for the bride, but first he had to make it past a bunch of questions.

He also had to serve tea for all family members before everyone could agree that he is a keeper.

We’ve been living at our place for over 7 months now and we still don’t have anything up on our walls. Instead of putting someone else’s art up, we decided to make our own! Here’s my A for the ABC wall, what you think, with or without the sun?

It took me about a year and a half to convince my boss to update our website, and a couple of months of hard work, but now it’s finally up! There’s still a bunch of work on it that needs to be done, but you can check it out at www.californiababy.com.

I no longer have to be embarrassed when I tell people I’m in charge of this website!

11 Things to do in 2011

by

I’ve set up a list of things that I want to have accomplished by the end of 2011;

  1. re-design my website www.popnea.com. Not sure how, just know that I want an update.
  2. read 5 books. I am not a very good reader, and I usually get restless and don’t finnish the book. I think it’s been 5 years since I read a book.
  3. run three 5k’s. I enjoy running, but I’m lazy. This will keep me motivated to get out and run throughout the year. My goal is to run a 5k under 30 minutes, it doesn’t have to be this year though.
  4. visit a city in the US that I have not previously been to. Time to get to know the rest of America!
  5. go to 5 concerts (just go to the local pub or go see some friend of a friends band play does not count). I used to go see a lot of bands, then I moved to the US and I stopped, now I want to get back into it.
  6. camp out. I don’t know why I put this up here. I’m gonna be freaked out by the wilderness.
  7. stay up and watch the sunrise. This is another stupid thing on the list. I have stayed up to see the sunrise before, but I guess it’s gonna be done again.
  8. visit Catalina Island. An island 20 something miles southwest of LA, it’s supposed to be beautiful.
  9. take a beginners class in Spanish. After 5 years in southern California, it’s time to learn the language! Habla?
  10. visit 5 museums I have not been to. There’s a lot of interesting museums out there!
  11. volunteer for a soup kitchen. It’s time to give back!
