Two Thumbs Up
What a geek! I started this website in October 2003 as a surprise for Cindy. I thought it was cheaper to create a site then to buy her another handbag!! Anyway, ended up I had to learn how to do a website by joining a class, finding a host, learning to design, finding the time…etc etc….hahaha…buts its fun!

Self taken picture
Taken sometime in 2003?

Teddy Bear
What a nice teddy bear named Chris! Actually, Cindy bought this bracelet that had Chris on it. I thought “Wow”! That is cool! She has my name on it!! And she told me that when she was out people asked her if her name was “Chris?” and she told me she would say “No, Chris is my boyfriend!”. And everyone would go “Wah! You are so sweet!!” What a nice story!! In fact, now I finally realize….Chris in fact meant “Christian Doir!!”

Rugby, England
This is where we spend Christmas 2003 with my mom in England! Her country style house in the middle of nowhere! Big Garden, swimming pool, green house, flat screen TV.

London Apartment
New Years Eve 2003. Here we are waiting for the countdown in London. We decided not to go out and fight the crowds. Instead, we went home, opened up a bottle of red wine, counted down and went to sleep at 12:30!! Guess we are getting old.

The La Jolla
Renovated room at the LAX Hilton.

Austria
It was cold! And it was far! This was some chapel in Austria that the King’s Son was murdered or something….can’t remember the story. Beautiful surrounding….just like the Sound of Music.

Mona Lisa
Yep, the real thing, at the Lourve Musuem in Paris. It is actually really really small! The painting is really dark too.

The New Time Warner Building at Columbus Circus in NYC. We visited this place in March 2003. The restaurant and bars upstairs!

Ear Muffs
It is freezing in New York (march 2004). I borrowed Cindy’s ear muffs here…

Mini
Cindy and I love this car…but our parents don’t think its safe enough…well, we can always use it for local driving only, right?

London Eye
This pic was actually taken on the London Eye. This is the giant ferris wheel in London. I am overlooking River Thames and Big Ben is somewhere behind me. The weather was horrible when we visited. The line to buy the ticket is also long! And the tickets were expensive!! But it was worth it! You gotta hit the tourist spots!!

Pearl Necklace
This was designed by Cindy. Nice, huh?

Cheers!
After a hearty meal prepared by my love, we finish off with some red wine.

Paris
Don’t know what the river is called, but taken while we were near the Lourve, waiting for our tour bus to come pick us back us. Don’t visit Paris during December! Raining and cold!!

Austria
We just got off a ferris wheel in Austria…made of wood?! Here we are at the Exit. I’m pointing at the ferris wheel on the picture. “That’s where I was!”

Another Dior Bag
We searched 4 European cities for this Dior Bag that Cindy wanted. Couldn’t get it!! During the whole trip Cindy complains that this is the only thing she wants from the European trip….great!! Finally, we got one back in the states! Woman are so hard to please!

JANE
Carl and Karen took this picture for us. They took Cindy and me to this nice restaurant called Jane in Monrovia. Nice!

Master Photographer..Not!
My artistic photo of the new and old Lourve. The pyramid is actually the main entrance to the Lourve museum. The museum is actually quite large. The entrance part is quite modern with many cafes and some stores. The older parts have some nice exhibits. There is one section called Napoleons’ Apartment…quite interesting to see how he lived.

Sparks Steakhouse, NYC
Taken during our dinner with Lucky and Rioji. We waited like 40 minutes even when we had a reservation. The steaks are pretty good. The restaurant is famous for 2 things. The steaks and the fact that the largest mafia boss in NYC was gunned down in front of it back in the 80’s.

Valentines Dinner 2004
This time, Cindy prepared a yum yum dinner with home baked bread, salad and curry!! Of course red wines and candles too!

Ever send the movie, Cocktails?!
Here Master bartender makes a cosmo and apple martini for his super picky client Cindy to choose from. He then gets her drunk and takes her home!! hahahaha

Mod Bar
This was the bar Cindy and I hung out while we were still just friends. The place is not spectacular, but the bartenders (Dennis, Stone, Old 2, Sissy, etc) and drinks are awesome . We use to come here at midnight and order food and have a couple of drinks. We would chat about our love lives and I would walk her home afterwards. I wanted to hold her hand everytime…but I was so shy!

First Trip NYC
This was in July 2003 when we first went to NY to look for an apartment for Cindy. It was so hot that I had to wear saddles and shorts. I never wear saddles and shorts!! We had trouble looking for a place since it was July 4th weekend. Cindy happened to call a real estate agent. She was crap. She showed us apartments in the projects. Ended up we looked for Apartment ourselves. This picture was taken at Uncle David’s Apartment after we walked all day suffering from heat exhaustion.

Hollywood 2002 August
This was before just before we started going out. So we were at Kodak Theatre and had 4 hours to kill before dinner with her friends. When I saw this tour bus for Celebrity Homes, we jumped on it (Well, I dragged her) and it took us around all the movie satr homes in Hollywood (Britney Spears, Madonna, George Clooney, Janet Jackson, etc etc). We were the last abroad and so we had the back seats…very bumpy!!

Valentine 2003
It was Valentines Day and being the dumb me I didn’t make a reservation. WHAT TO DO!?! Luckily, I have 20 cooks in the building and I went downstairs and made my chef give me a hour instruction on preparing a valentines meal!! Heehee. Of course, being the quick learner, my meal was excellent (except for the overcooked steak!!) My dessert was fabulous wasn’t it darling?!!?
