After 408 posts, i finally upgraded to a new look thanks to a built-in template blogger decided to include. no more stupid html crap since i suck at html. so out of these 408 posts, about 300 of them are immature so disregard that bullshit. the past is the past.

After I came back from New York, the next things on my agenda were 2 weekly consecutive weddings. The first one was my cousin's wedding up in San Francisco. He is 34 years old and the bride is 33. I realized the age to get married is getting older these days probably because finding financial stability is getting harder. Anyhow, let me explain the main difference between a traditional Chinese wedding and an American wedding. In an American wedding, you can spend $20,000 and have your reception at a hotel ballroom with a small, 3 course shitty meal that barely teases your stomach, 1 glass of champagne, listen to a wedding singer belching out oldies and sit on a folding chair covered with flowery linen. Or you can spend $20,000 and take over a whole chinese restaurant. I look forward to a chinese wedding because they spoil you with a luscious 9 course meal with exotic dishes. Some of these include: sharks fin soup, roasted peking duck, abalone & sea cucumber, chinese mushrooms, steamed live fish, fried rice, chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, and many others. I didnt have a date, so I guess my older brother was my date. He spoils me too sometimes, with food and takes me to theaters so I guess those dont really count as bad habits. The day before the wedding I had a chance to spend the night at his place. I walked in there and the first thing I noticed was a lack of furniture; no dinner table, no TV, and no chairs. In his room, or should i say office/bedroom/dining room/etc is all he needed; a mattress on the floor, his mountain bike, his turtle tank, a computer desk, and his laptop. He had a bunch of leftover 80's toys in there from his ex-girlfriend such as transformers, voltron, gumby, atari, nintendo, dukes of hazzard etc.. So that night i slept in a sleeping bag on the floor.
