now you see it, now you don't.


reeled in,
hook, line and sinker.

cast aside.

i thought you're different.

in this topsy turvy world...


i crave simplicity.

ffwd. stop. rwd. pause.


a spoonful of honey
a dash of vinegar
a handful of chillies
a pinch of salt
a sprinkle of everything else, all mixed together.

a recipe for disaster?
i hope not.

missing you...

yujun's wedding dinner at the ritz was sweet -
it was great seeing her again
after all these years
and to finally meet her man.


i want to wear a hanbok too!

the company i had that night
reminded me of good old college days
and brought on a wave of nostalgia.

hongkong part one: thank you.
hongkong part two: the sky cried with me.

in san francisco, i took the bart from powell to fremont
where ting met me and we drove out
first to get yummy avocado shakes and breakfast sandwiches
that we devoured at her new house
(with a jealous kiwi at our feet),
then to gilroy for a factory outlet outing.


back home and a quiet night of heart-to-hearts,
dave's ray charles piano moment and anatole's lovely voice,
plus a tour of icon's awesome 31st floor
and panorama photo taking.


schizo dave.

...you.
