My X-mas Cats :)

Got some cute stuff for the cats to wear, but the cats didn't all like the photo shoot session :p I put on the collar on Mintie while was she taking a nap, but then she went totally nuts and ran around the house. She ran into our room and stood in front of the mirror looking shocking when she saw herself in the mirror with the collar.....lol


Cutest reindeer EVER.....

I think being a Santa cat was Hades' least favorite....


Mintie with her double chin.....hehehehe....so serious....


Hades looks like he is from three musketeers....so handsome....:)


Look at that crazy reindeer.....lol

Billy thinks Chap looks like a clown when he has the collar on....I think he was too funny to not be able to walk properly with anything on him....


Just look at his face here....so funny....like the Chinese 冏.....hahahahaha.....


I actually got the reindeer hat on Mintie but she was totally upset she couldn't move after that was put on her....I think the hat was too heavy for her???

The only photos I was able to take with a dressed up cat....She didn't look happy at all though...lol

X-mas is coming....but I have a busy week ahead of me. Let's hope things go smoothly for the last 2 weeks of 2010!!!!!

Random drop by of Jack

Jack dropped by randomly on a Tue night, and then I realized I completely forgot about his BD few days ago. We ended up eating his BD dinner few days late at Buca and had a stuffed Tue night. Here are photos we took that night....

My favorite dish there, Chicken Marsala.....

The seafood linguine we ordered that was not on the menu....and everything on my plate....I think food just got less and more expensive over at Buca. I am not sure when I will go back again....

I guess the waiter liked my camera he wanted to take another photo for us....

Taramisu that got AKiang really relaxed....amazing how low her tolerance of alcohol is....

Anyway....yet another year of being older for Mr. Tsai....

Sat at the LB Aquarium + Sun dinner with friends :)

Last Sat we went to Long Beach Aquarium cuz Billy's company gave them free passes. I was quite frustrated with the lenses I had cuz they were not suitable for indoor photo taking. I guess some photos did turn out alright thanks to my photo editing software + my more than usual patience when I am taking photos. Anyway....here are the photos for the weekend....

Just like a painting....and did you know shark eggs look just like a piece of bamboo?

Many diff. types of sharks...


ok....I think Billy was trying to compete with the long chin....

I have no idea why there were birds in an Aquarium....but anyway....here are bird pictures...

Angry looking birds....one of them turned red....okok..bad joke...

Looks like he had his earphones on and was dancing to music...

Well....fights....

Look at this rocker...

I think they were a couple...

The "third person" was trying to interrupt....

This one was a very colorful and good looking bird....but very short...

I wonder how the legs how the bodies...??

sea stars can get huge....

They were having so much fun playing and fighting...

weird fish in plaids....

I was really surprised how well the jelly fish photos turned out to be....


Billy wanted to pretend he was in the water too....

Huge spider crab which didn't look too happy....

Some of the colorful photos of fish....


@ the gift shop...

Can you tell the weather was bad?? Thanks to my photo editing thing on Mac I don't think anyone can tell....hahahaha....

Sun night my high school friend Masumi came to visit with her husband Aaron and friend Toshiko. Toshiko became friends with me on FB because she kept on seeing my cat photos from Masumi's comments. Both Masumi and Toshiko are cat lovers so I invited them to come and visit the cats + have a get together/dinner thing. It's a lot of fun to be able to just sit around and listen to people talk since those three Japanese can get quite talkative :)

Toshiko brought us some green tea cookies from Japan since she just got back on Fri night....and the wine Masumi & Aaron brought from Napa was really nice as well. We finished the whole bottle with them that night and I would call the night a success :)
