i've had one of the best weekends of my life...
it felt great
friday after work i went to yoga & then pierre & i went lateish to this korean bbq place for dinner & completely pigged out (food related comments will be left to my food blog)...i was stuffed beyond belief & we had leftovers
saturday we went to berkeley bowl to pick up some ingredients so we could make stuff to bring to pierre's sister's (karen) friend's (angie) bbq...pierre suggested we make satay & peanut sauce (good job hun) & i really wanted to make the appleslaw....soooo we ran late & i got nervous but in the end it didn't even matter...the bbq was really really fun...i smelt like smoke afterwards but it was worth it...i met karen for the first time & i'm hoping she likes me...the people there were so nice & funny & the food was all sooo good....there was a pit fire going on in the front & we made smores & everything......we left around 10:30 to go to mitchell's for ice cream sandwiches...fab:) then pierre drove me to saratoga cuz i wanted to visit my dad for father's day

smores!!
sunday...our whole family (which is rare cuz not everyone is always here) went to dimsum at this place called dynasty..it was pretty nice...& the dim sum was really delish...we were all stuffed...we went to look at tuxedoes for dad (for gug's wedding) then we dropped the boys off at home & mom & i headed to santana row/valley fair to get her st. john suit altered & to dress shop for me as well as shop for my brother (he claimed he had no clothes) i bought a dress that was on sale at bcbg it's very very plain...it kinda wasn't what i'd imagine that i'd wear but it guess it's classy...it's just a plain halter & it's fushia...so my mom & i will almost match..it'll be cute..still need shoes & accessories...we'll see....then to valley fair...at which we saw dennis chang who completely avoided us on purpose (as in he saw us then covered half his face as he turned away & as he walked off he kept looking at the corner of his eye to see if we were behind him still) it was pretty messed up...then we went to target & to vietnamese sandwiches (a lee's opened in cupertino) & we went for a walk later & i went to my haven of a backyard & picked plums...i will post the pics on this entry when i get back to the apt...there is so much joy in picking fruit from your own garden...pierre picked me up to take me back to berkeley at about 9:30...i met his brother too...i'm a bit more scared of him..i feel like he'll be more critical...we'll see...

plums

poor 3 ft tree being weighed down

life is a bowl of plums? :P

random artsy photo of a half ripened lemon
i have many many quotes to share:
at the bbq
lisa (karen's coworker) had said some time ago that karen & pierre look exactly alike & that he could wear a wig & walk into the office & no one would know the difference
pierre: so i'll have to wear a wig & visit the office sometime
lisa: you don't even need to wear a wig...just walk in..no one will know the difference anyway
for smores we had to fashion sticks out of metal wire hangers & everyone's was different (most of the people there were as pierre put it "was an architect or was dating one")
jeremy: how many architects does it take to make a stick...uh oh we don't have structural engineers...
on the car ride back to berkeley...
p: yea & there was that girl that ran after mom for like 2 blocks to give her back her credit card...she was cute you guys wanted me to ask her number
me: greeeeeat
marc(pierre's bro): yea i was thinking umm shuddup pierre she's RIGHT there
p: haha that's what mean she's cool she doesn't care
my bro & i were in another room & my dad is chuckling while he & my mom were in conversation
mom to my dad: what is that sound what are you doing?
dad: i'm laughing
(my brother & i burst out laughing)
gug: what..have you guys just met or something! it's like "what are you doing!" "you know sometimes when i talk my mouth moves"
(i know this isn't that funny to you guys but you have to see the interaction of our family to understand)
in the car to dim sum
mom to gug: you're sup'd to take care of your little sister! you're sup'd to protect her that's the whole point of having the boy child first! ask shian (my brother's chinese name)...i mean dad!
gug: shian? sure! shian says miao gin (no thanks/that's ok in taiwanese)!
my mom & i went to abercrombie & fitch to shop for my brother & upon entering a guy greeted us..he was normal looking...maybe only slightly above average...then when we were checking out the cashiers were excessively good looking...model-esque...& my mom kept saying "i wonder if they know they're good looking...they're probably stupid, huh?" & then as we were leaving we see that "regular" looking guy in the front & my mom says "poor thing...i wonder if he know's he's the ugly one"
"this is the best"
"when i say it i will mean it"
"can i keep her?"
