Good Bye Los Angeles! Hello Boston!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry it has been WAY TOO long since we wrote something here. We are moving to Boston after living in Los Angeles (Crystal for 4.5 years and Jawn for 7 years). Crystal would be working at least part-time and Jawn would be studying full time.

Thank you everyone!!!

Hong Kong 2007

Mun was on a rampage... with her 50 must eat places in Hong Kong Guide. Crystal was absolutely tickled by her manifesto reading of the guide! We moved from restaurant to restaurant to try different cuisines.

An expensive dinner at Yong Kee Restaurant with my favorite cousin, Edwin Chiam (left to right), my ma-ma (who flew in from Singapore), my eldest sis, Su (who flew in from Shanghai), my elder sis, Mun (who flew with mum), the blessing of my life, my wife, Crystal and an oversized me... must be the puffy T-shirt. hmmmm... I do look bigger than most of my family.

An Arquitectonica-esque looking building at Repulse Bay, HK. Supposedly for the "dragon" to fly through the building from the top of the mountain to the ocean (where the camera-girl is standing taking this picture). Some kind of wise, mystical "dragon" that must be... since it has trouble flying AROUND a building... oh well...

I should really avoid standing INFRONT of everyone... sigh... not very flattering on my fattened frame... sigh.. must be all the good food!

Regent Cafe on a Sunday Afternoon

We went to Regent Cafe after church for lunch at 130pm. We were all starving!! Had joy of the company of Roger, Margaret, Nethanel, Nigel, their "Fisherman" Church friend, Joyce and Maffrine. Crystal and I have been thoroughly blessed by the Ngs in the way they speak with such wisdom and tact. We will miss them when they go back to Singapore.

Singapore National Day at the TAYBAY residence (LA)

We had a BLAST at Sylvia Bay+Rachel Tay's house on the 12th Aug 2007 (Sunday). Cooked up the best Singaporean meal we had in L.A. for a long time! We were suppose to be dressed in white and red but dear Sern Hong and Lennard had to be special in the coordinated blue! Even Taiyo's pink was forgivable as blend of white and red. Well, just to give you an idea of what we had... the menu included Chili Crab, nor-hiang, cha tao gui, laksa, hainanese chicken rice, etc. As you can tell, Crystal and Jawn are happily stuffed with all the fabulous food! (Crystal more than Jawn). Happy Birthday Singapore!
