好久沒來這裡晃晃了
先是沒網路好幾個禮拜,接著又是忙碌的生活
很想停下來,好好休息,好好放鬆relax.....
過去這兩個月感覺有很多事
上班特別的忙,過著早起跑東跑西超忙的上班族生活
但是很感恩我還有份工作
再來就是我們搬家了
從來沒這麼累過,東西多到不知道該怎麼整理
但是也是很感恩有個又新又舒適的地方可以住
還有就是小小小寶貝Zoey的誕生
這是第三次在產房裏看Janice生小孩
三次都有不同的感受
感謝主,可以再一次體驗到新生命的喜悅
其實今天想寫的,是昨天發生的蘋果事件
話說九月才買的新iphone竟然昨天傍晚突然"壞掉了"
couldn't turn the power on at all
最後只好去apple store
結果後來修電話的technician把電話給我們說可以用了
還要我們sign the paperwork, then we left the store
all the data on my phone was erased
心情真的有點disappointed...因為我用iphone照了很多照片
而且我都沒有backup.....
沒想到,在回家的路上我才發現那張紙上寫說
"replaced iphone from service stock..."
什麼!!!手上拿的電話不是我本來的電話???!!!!!
the technician replaced my phone without telling us?!?!
所以又回頭開回去apple store
最後找來manager把事情解釋了一翻
好心的manager說會幫我們換一支全新的iphone
不過我們請他再找一下我原本的電話
看看可不可以fix...or save the data from it
結果還是沒辦法,他說電話怎麼就是沒辦法power on
就當我們在等他拿新的iphone時
manager又走出來找我們,跟我們說我原本的iphone突然活過來了!
PRAISED GOD! God answered our prayer!
因為老公在車子裏有禱告讓我的電話能"復活"
好心的manager不但幫我backup all my photos
還給我新的screen protector
走出apple store,
手裡拿的是brand new iphone
all the data, including the photos i treasure, are saved
this is grace, the favor from God.

臭臭鍋
上個禮拜五終於大家都有空, 六人小組全部到齊好像常常會有很多事情, 要一起吃個飯並不是一件容易的事
這次一起吃火鍋, 想說就像平常大家吃的火鍋一般
只不過聽到david和johnny在問有誰想要"臭臭鍋"
其它的人包括我在內都沒什麼反應......
臭臭鍋我從來沒吃過
只是在台灣看到很多店在賣
沒想到, 我的結論是:臭臭鍋很好吃ㄟ~~~~~
本來只是想試試看, 結果我發現麻辣臭臭鍋是會上癮的
那天晚上我們都吃得好漲喔～吃最多的應該是我們兩個+gracy
我們隔天還在回味那個吃臭臭鍋的夜晚
好吃的食物加上好朋友果然是ㄧ大享受～～～～～
另外, 小孩都那麼乖, 大人也吃得很輕鬆～
不過因為太好吃了, 都忘了照.....
只有吃完補照幾張
gracy + baby Enoch
J + J watching cinderella, 弟弟還翹腳
在這要深深的感謝manman & johnny為我們準備食物～辛苦你們了！！！

hello
hello. this will be my first official blog entry at love overflow. so here i am, back to blogging, sharing with you our life through words and pictures.
september is always very special to me. it reminds me many joyful moments in my life, like our first date, our engagement, our honeymoon, and my birthday celebrations. of course, looking forward to creating more beautiful memories.
long weekend is never long enough. we had a busy, yet very fruitful long weekend. to start with, hubby came home with two iphones on friday. that was supposed to be a surprise for me but i figured it out before he got home. you know, a woman's instinct. we love apple. we are one happy apple family. millions of apps to play with and the face time feature is just too cool. and i am seriously addicted to bejeweled and doodle jump.
we were invited to the Chiu's for dinner on saturday. even though it was like a last minute thing, we were glad that we made it. they grilled the best drumsticks and steaks. it was a great night in the backyard under the stars.
sunday after church, we went to shoot some pool with church friends and had all-you-can-eat korean bbq. then we headed to M&J's place to hang out. it was a long day for us.
praise God for the nice and cool weather on monday. we went to san diego zoo before our memberships expire this month. we had so much fun with z+z and we were fascinated with the animals we saw, especially the polar bears. we got to see two giant polar bears playing with each other under the water.
happy zoya with happy hippo!
to show how big the turtle is, uncle will tried to put zoya next to the giant turtle.

At last..... Kogi BBQ!!!!!
It was close to a year ago when we first heard of Kogi Truck. While surfing online, I happened to watch a video of someone promoting Kogi. It looked so good and we have been wanting to try it ever since. However, due to the location and the time, we haven't had a chance to.
After an early light dinner, I thought to check online to see where the Kogi trucks are scheduled tonight. Just so happen there was one in the neighboring city of Pomona. After convincing Sydney that this was our best chance to try it. We quickly hopped into the car and began our Kogi Adventure.
By the time we got to the location, it was about 7:50pm. The truck parked in an empty parking lot and it was quite dark. The only reason we were able to find it was because of the crowd surrounding the truck. We quickly parked and made our way to the truck.
Needless to say, there was a long line waiting to order. As we stood in line, it totally felt like we were back in the night markets in Taiwan. During our trip to Taiwan, there were many times when we had to wait in line for delicious Taiwanese snacks. One thing we learned was that "long line = good food".
After about 45 minutes of waiting, we finally placed our order. Since this was our first time trying, we really wanted to get a taste of everything. So we decided to order more items and share with my in-laws. This way, we could try a little bit of everything.
Our order for the night:
- 3 Short Rib Tacos
- 3 Chicken Tacos
- 1 Calamari Taco
- 1 Kogi Sliders
- 1 Short Rib Burrito
- 1 Blackjack Quesadilla
- 1 Sweet Chili Chicken Quesadilla
A total of 11 items and $42.80
Once we placed the order, we had to wait another 30 minutes. At 9:05pm, we finally got our food! We quickly wrapped everything and drove straight to my in-law's house.
When we got to the house and opened up the food, we were a bit disappointed because the food didn't look as good as when they first came off the grill. However, putting the looks aside, the food was delicious!!! The flavor of all the items are quite rich, perhaps they were a bit on the strong side. Our favorite was definitely the original Short Rib taco!
For those who might want to give it a try, do check their website for the time and location. They have a total of 4 trucks driving around LA and OC. Be ready to stand in line if you want to experience the delicious Kogi taco!!

Day 7 @ Shalu
Pleasant Surprise!
Sunday was our last day at Shalu. The team was in charge of leading worship and Elder Yen was invited to preach. In the middle of the sermon we suddenly saw a familiar face walking in. It was Carol! one of our students from Shalu High School. We were so excited to see her. After the service we found out that she actually went out of her way to bring us "Fried Sweet Potato Balls."
It was delicious and we finished all of it within minutes. We were so touched that she came, it was definitely a pleasant surprise! We were able to talk through lunch and she even went to the bus stop with Sydney and I. During this past week, we were able to meet many awesome students and now we are moving our relationships from teacher/student to friends!
Thank you Carol for your love and friendship!
We are going to miss all the students that we had the opportunity to interact during the last two weeks. After a week at Shalu, we have officially finished our 2010 summer mission trip. Within the next two weeks, all the members will slowly return to the U.S. It was a great experience for all of us and we will treasure the memories forever!
Glory to God for his protection and guidance!
