BH and Eric’s visit~

We were so happy that our dear friends Eric and BH came back to Houston last month. Here are some pics we would like to share~~~ Hope to see you guys again soon~~~

On the day BH brought two kids to our house, CW was on his business trip. Me and BH had a lot of good time playing with two kids. We went to our back yard to water the veges. However the kids got totally wild when they saw the water coming out from the pipe…IMG_4230 IMG_4226 IMG_4229 taking shower after playing in the back yard… as you can see, Isaac was very very happy~~btw…i do have some pics of Meredith taking shower too…but since she is a young lady now…I will keep them to myself lah~~IMG_4237

Adiós Humming Birds….

It has been almost a week we have no sign of hummers stopping at our back garden.. I guess they have already continue their journey to their southern migration.. I read some articles mentioned that Humming birds will return year after year to particular gardens they have visited, well let's hope we will see them again next year during their Spring migration to the north.

I manage to do a few video shot for this tiny little humming birds during their visit at our back garden.. Post it here to share with all our friends and family..

This was shot on 8/18/09… Other than the humming bird, you can also see the sugar apple(釋迦) tree at the back…







Two hummers playing on the scene…

1st Wedding Anniversary...6 Wonderful Years together...

Today is a very special day for a few reasons. Last year on this day, we are getting married with the witness of our families and friends when hurricane Ike hit Houston. Just wanted to thank you all for the help for our wedding. Without your love and support, we will not have this very special wedding. Hurricane Ike has left a wake of devastation of all degrees throughout the greater Houston Area and we are in constant prayer and praise that God is still in control and carrying us through this time!!_MG_5515

Today both Cindy and I also celebrating our 6th year dating anniversary. Hahaaa..I know...I can only imagine some people might be thinking what is so special about it? Well, for us, it is about celebrating our love for each other and cherish each day that we get to spend together. Even though Cindy and I are so different in every aspect, life is too short not to be thankful for everything that you have.. and God only knows how thankful I am to have Cindy as my lovely wife, my life was changed for better the day she walked into my life..

Since today is such a BIG day for us, I thought to start the celebration by showing you some of the photos since day 1 we’ve met... Hope you enjoy it~~

Ritz-Carlton Cancun – Total Paradise!!

Just want to drop some sharing on our stay at Ritz-Carlton Cancun. This is our first stay at the Ritz-Carlton chain of hotels, and we were so impressed. The hotel is outfitted with crystal chandeliers, beautiful antiques, and elegant oil paintings and furniture. Overall the hotel environment is so European that you may well forget you are in Cancun, Mexico.

Stayed at Club Level – excellent value, free wifi, Serving several meals everyday at Club lounge(Breakfast buffet, Lunch, light dinner & Chocolate from 8pm-10pm) plus unlimited alcohol drinks and cocktails.

Housekeeping and hotel staff services were impeccable, Our room was cleaned twice daily, the housekeeping maid will check with us every evening to make sure we have all the toiletries covered.

Beautiful white beach, crystal clear water at the back of the hotel. Two swimming pools – One large meandering pool and smaller adult pool. Taking bus was easy, 3 mins walking distance to bus stop, Two famous malls(Plaza Kukulcan and La Isla Plaza) are within 10mins bus ride.

We really had a very pleasant stay in Ritz and cannot say enough how satisfied we are on our stay at the Ritz Carlton Cancun. Highly recommend to all our friends and family if you are planning a trip to Cancun, Ritz is the place you want to stay!!!

Under the sea~~

We are back to Houston this afternoon. Just wanna thank my dear cousin, Tina, who gave us a lot of great advice on the trip. The most important, they lent us their underwater camera which allowed us to take pictures anywhere we want near the water or even in the water!! We took a lot of amazing pictures when we went snorkeling. Actually, it was CW who took all the pictures when we were in the water. I was all busy at handling my life jacket, snorkel, goggle, fins and the water kept getting into my eyes and nose. He was so relaxed in the ocean because he is a beach boy as he always says so. Anyway, here are some pics we took when snorkeling in Cozumel…


Before we got into the water



In the water..yes, that was me..
