It is not a easy job to take a photo with her eyes open because she is sleeping most of the time. When she is awake, that is the time she is crying to ask for feeding.

I can do the Mario move

Being a baby is so tired??

She was born few hours ago, two weeks early than we expected. Alan you will see the baby when you come to Austin in Mid Jan. Happy New Year.

This 2 foot tall snoof came to visit me in Berkeley for a few days. He was so humongous I had to send him back (no room for him in my house!!)... but not before getting some pictures of him with Li'l Nibbler of the West Coast.

"Anonymous said..
OK, Who will be NEXT??? Any volunteer?

(http://wupeeps.blogspot.com/2011/08/were-married.html)

Sure! Jeff and I volunteer! :-)
Everyone welcome Jeff to the clan!

Yes, I work at an oil company.

2011-08-28T19:14:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure how this happened. One day I was going to be a academic studying the obscure minutiae of yeast evolutionary biology, and the next day I found myself working for big oil...

Today I went to see the Indy Grand Prix, courtesy of the company I work for. One of the exhibition cars at the Grand Prix was fueled entirely by diesel manufactured by the company, and the shuttle buses were running a blend of our diesel too.

Anyway, you can see our logo at the entrance to the Grand Stand, below the Panasonic logo and to the left of the PG&E logo. Pretty neat, isn't it!

I had never been to a car race before. It was a huge event, with funnel cakes, corn dogs, and tons of cool cars out on exhibit. If you are one of the boys who loved the Air and Space museum hangar, I guarantee this would have been candy to you too. As for the race itself, the first 5 laps were fun, and the next 70 were sleep-inducing. The pitstops were pretty impressive, and the drivers' concentrations must be amazing to be able to pay attention for that long.

I can't even imagine watching a 500 lap race (Indy 500, Daytona 500). 75 was more than enough for me!

Here is the 真相

We're married!

2011-08-15T20:05:00.000-07:00

Hi everybody! I'm here to report that marriage is awesome! lol : D

I can't believe it's already been a week since the wedding, but it has been. Life has been a blur with still many things to do, but i wanted to take a moment and thank everybody for coming and spending this special day with Kenneth and I.

Kenneth and I are sincerely grateful to all of the Ago-men, especially Da gu ma for helping with flowers and coming so early, Debby ago for all the work preparing the meal (you always make amazing food and this was no exception of course!), and Jenny ago for opening up her home and hosting and letting us have a quick pit stop before the ceremony :).

I'm so happy that you all were able to spend time together and envious that I wasn't able to devote more time to just hanging out and catching up. It made me exceedingly happy to see everybody together though. To have you all there with us on our special day only added to my joy. :) All of you have taken part in raising me and have influenced who I am. I distinctly remember thinking to myself when I first became friends with Kenneth that "this guy would get along with the family", little did I know that 7 years later he would be family. :) Thank you for welcoming him and making fun of him, and thank you for coming from far and wide and sending your best wishes. I'm overwhelmingly lucky that our family is so close, supporting, and loving. It means so much. I wish Agong and Ama could've been there to see it.

Since the wedding, we've moved Kenneth into the apartment, made 2 trips to ikea, installed a new shower rod, hung new curtains, opened some of the registry presents, seen Wicked (the first of many husbandly obligations :) and gone up to Baltimore to just get away for the weekend. Most of our things are still in boxes, there's a million things still left to do, but I know that we wouldn't be where we are without family. :) I hope all of you had a good time at the wedding, that you created memories as well, and I look forward to seeing all of you soon. We'll be inviting people over when the dust settles : D

Much love, many thanks, and never-ending gratitude,
meimei

Nations Triathlon

2011-05-24T12:08:00.000-07:00

As some of y'all probably already know, I'm training for 2 triathlons this summer.
As part of the requirements for participating in the larger of the two events, I have to ask everybody for money.
Please take a look at my fundraising website and help me out if you can.
The link is found after this blurb from the website:

I'm training to participate in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

2010-12-01T20:51:00.000-08:00

Thanks to the Wupeeps out East for the great Thanksgiving. Here are a few snaps from the holiday weekend. First, dinner at the Villa. Note the marshmallows on top of the yams, toasted to absolute gooey perfection by Aunt Yoku. Thank you for the feast! The next few are of lunch at Maple Avenue Restaurant in Vienna, where the cousins went on Saturday. It was absolutely delicious! I can't wait to go there again. The bottom photo is of Teddie playing computer games, Alan watching TV, and Randy on the iPad, all in the smallest room in Teddie's house... Three boys with very bad colds all getting some much-needed brain-rest.

Other highlights included Aunt Jenny and Aunt Sulien busting out the hip hop dance moves on Alan's Kinect dance game, seeing Mei's lovely ring, and dinner at Sushi Yoshi (now I know where that delectable chirashi photo comes from) - yum. Thanks for the delicious dinner, Uncle John and Aunt Sulien! Wish everyone could be there. Also, Uncle Chao-Jen and Randy successfully convinced Ted that golfing is a good idea. With the addition of golf to his life, Ted will finally become a true Dr. Ted!

Congratulations Mayline and Kenneth!

We went to Alaska. At 50-60 degrees it felt like Fall! It was so beautiful.

We went to the aquarium for a close up look at puffins! They're my favorite.

We saw a glacier. it was super cold

We went to the state fair. The llama in the petting zoo spat at Jie.

I'm here in Taiwan for five days before heading over to Japan for a research project. Since it's Grandma's 90th birthday, we got some flowers for her!

A-Ma was having a pretty good time.

Looking cool, Grandma XD I had A-Ma try on my sunglasses and then showed her the picture. She had a good laugh lol

Look! 高熊！Ｈａｈａｈａｈａ

Aunt Jenny arranged A-Ma's flowers very nicely!

Signing off for now!

Thank you, 辣媽

2010-05-16T08:15:00.000-07:00

This week’s hero is our very own 辣媽, who came up to Philadelphia to help me move out of my apartment and into the new one for next year. Gotta hand it to her, 辣媽 is a cleaning/packing machine. All in all, it’s been pretty crazy times… these days I try to build some buffer time into my schedule because I’ve realized that overbooking myself makes me exhausted and behind schedule, but sometimes life throws you curveballs and a Robert Ne Niro film keeps you from getting you to your destination. hahaha In those times, having 辣媽 around as an extra pair of hands to pack things and drive the car while I'm navigating or trying to cancel my comcast/electricity accounts on the phone and trying to arrange my background check tests for my employer is a real blessing! (Why the doorman at my building felt it was ok to not give me the package from my employer marked "extremely urgent" until two days after it arrived is a mystery.)　After driving around, cleaning, packing, and driving back home through a pouring storm, 辣媽 proceeded to make dinner.

辣媽 also borrowed a cell phone from a coworker so that I had a cell phone to use as soon as I got to Taiwan, and has basically been booking all my travel plans for me and doing cost evaluation to get the best deal．辣媽, if it existed, you would win the 金媽獎!

Me: "媽媽, 辛苦你了. 當媽媽很辛苦!"

辣媽: "已經生了, 沒辦法 ."

Me: "Thanks Mom, it's tough being a mother / Moms work so hard!"

Mom: "I already gave birth to you, too late to turn back / there's nothing I can do about it now." XD

So this is when Pauline tries to get into a Robert De Niro Film

2010-05-12T17:05:00.001-07:00

So the film Dark Fields (or something) with Robert De Niro and Brad Cooper (that's the 2 guys by the black car) was filming outside my window at work today. You can see that there are NYC cabs since the film is set in NYC but Philly is cheaper to film in.

Well as some of you know, Pauline and her mom were moving Pauline out and were dropping her keys off at my work... so Pauline is driving and tries to park right in the shot. Unfortunately I couldn't get a picture since I was walking around the block trying to find her, but I knew it was her when my coworkers asked if I saw "those two asian ladies in the silver toyota try to park in the shot, and then get yelled at." So if you do see a silver toyota with Pauline and her Mom in the next De Niro film, then yeah, you know how that happened.
