Weeeee! let the games begin!!

Alison n Eddie Ng

Woot! Today an old old buddy of mine Eddie Ng ties the knot! It's one of those stories where high school buddies from the motherland comes over to the US and have kids around the same time. Eddie, Jerry (who got married 2 months ago) and my parents hung out all the time in my younger years. After middle school Eddie went to Galileo and then onward to Davis, never to be heard from again. My parents would tell me tidbits of whats happening with him n wot not. From my memories the earliest i remember whas when i was 3 and going to Canada, i dunno what car my parents had but Eddie's parents were in a White Toyota Celica. i remember seeing a fireworks show (i'm guessing in canada) and eddie was crying from all the explosions. he was 2 or just turned 3. Thats the only memory of my earliest childhood.
Afterwards i remember the only bbq me and my parents had in the backyard, it was my birthday and jerry and eddie were there. He's a pretty cool friend to have. Then he vanished, he called about a year and a half ago and the three of us were to meet, but he never called back. Silly boy, anyhow, he went to my wedding, then to jerry's and now his own.. the 3 amigo's in a year all married, wow what 1 year can do to you eh?

The wedding was pretty cool, eddie found a church crew to hang out with in davis and thats where he met his wife Alison. He works as the program assistant to international students at UC davis. He's like the welcome to the USA dood, and sorta mentors international students. Alison also works at UC davis doing some administration thing, i forgot. anyhow the ceremony was about 45minutes. and it was off to the lunch banquet(?) in Sacramento.


Seriously.. Are we there yet???

No, it wasn't in Ocean City, MD (Google maps says it'll take 1 day, 18 hours??!!). I've never been to a chinese banquet at noontime. The food was ok, but since this is a church gathering there was alot of multimedia events done by the fellowship. Lots of singing, one slide show and a video. The one thing that was pointed out was that Eddie sleeps with his eyes open.. yes that sounds wierd, but i vaguely remember him in his early years sleeping with his eyes open, or at least one. i thought it was weird, i guess the habit never went away? Thats probably why all my pics with him, his eyes are closed!!!
Congrats Alison n Eddie! woot!

After the wedding it was 2:30pm.. off to the Vacaville outlets! It's big but not much sales action (for halloween?) going on. Theres a burberry outlet, which had nothing on sale, a restoration hardware outlet which actually had marred and dinged stuff, and the usual slew of other stores. Coach, Banana Republic, Gap, etc. The killer one was the illuminations, i stepped 5 ft in and was overwhelmed by a menagerie of scents, they might as well hit me with pepper spray. So, Today i: got knocked out coughing at the illuminations! Fluffilady and my brother held on till they got halfway and ran out as well. Can you say, ventilation please??
Got home about 7:30. and now its nini time then off to work (beh)!
