Reunions, Birthdays, and Friendsgivings

This morning was all about online shopping. Sissy and I used Google Hangout to shop together since buying more usually meant free shipping. We spent over and hour shopping at Ulta. Then I got changed and awaited Rosanna’s arrival.

We went to Shake Shack for a late lunch which is one of the best fast food place I’ve been to. I would definitely come back again.

We walked around and went to Sephora and the Starbucks Reserves. We didn’t order anything but went to a regular Starbucks for the buy one get one free deal.

We stopped by Sugarfina hoping to get some gifts for the interns but the price wasn’t worth it. Instead, we had a picture opportunity in front of the pretty wall. It was great seeing her again and hearing about her adventures and wedding plans.

We we’re soon home, chilling and shopping. Rizzo loves the media room and tends to fall asleep on the blankets.

We ordered some Thai food for Brudda’s birthday dinner.

And enjoyed a Berry Chantilly cake.

The kids all got ready and headed out to Peter’s Friendsgiving. I was expecting all Asians but was surprised to find many different ethnicities. We are still here and it is so crazy it reminds me of college parties. Luckily we had some chill catch up times and I’m able to get this post up before the night is over.

It’s been a crazy day but much appreciated. I cannot believe the weekend is here and then it’s back to work again. Whomp.

Pit Room BBQ | Houston, Texas

Emmy had her last nap at our house. She loves Winnie the Pooh and calls her “baby”. We had to take her up and we headed to Sissy’s and BIL’s.

Mitch was visiting and to have Emmy spend a little time with Sissy and BIL before she left we decided to do a takeout order from Pit Room BBQ and meet Brudda and SIL there since they stayed at a hotel after the wedding last night.

The brisket was rhe best but Lockhart from Dallas is still one of the best BBQ places I’ve had. This place does not compare.

We bid them goodbye and we’ve all been a bit lazy since then. I am looking forward to work … kind of.

Starbies, Conservatory, Emmy, and Buffets

Vicky and I went on a walk for her to get money out of the ATM, stopping by Starbucks on the way back. I wasn’t a super big fan of it but it was good enough to keep me warm. I love how festive the cups are already.

I worked overtime but I won’t be claiming it though. I did go to lunch with Vicky, Salim and Kieran. We walked in the cold drizzle to The Conservatory. We didn’t drink any alcohol but did go for some pho and pizza. It’s a horrible picture since they don’t know much about my life outside of work yet. It was nice to have conversations and listen to their thoughts since I am the newest to join the company.

[2018] 313/365: Emmy and TVB

When we got back to work I headed home and soon enough I was tasked to put Emmy to nap since Dad couldn’t make her. It took a while but she soon fell asleep and I had a chance to watch some TVB.

After awhile they woke her up and we had dinner at E-Star with the family and I even go to sit next to Emmy!! Treasuring all these moments with her because she is growing up way too fast!

Juhi Goes to London

I went out to lunch with some co-workers and it was paid for! Nice!! We went to Mia Bella and I had THE best make it yourself pasta. This place is pricey but it’s worth it.

[2018] 310/365: Juhi’s Goodbye Dinner

I stayed at work later than usual then headed to Sissy and BIL’s for a little bit of relaxation before making it to Juhi’s Goodbye dinner at Lupe’s Tortilla. She’s going to London for four months for work! How crazy is that?!

It was nice to see her, finally meet her boyfriend, catch up with Erin and Jade and his girlfriend and meet so many people! They are all goody and hilarious. It was great times all around!

Now it’s shower and bed time. I am so tired!

Supervisor Intern Lunch at Gyu Kaku

[2018] 309/365: Supervisor Intern Lunch

Today we had our first (out of four) Supervisor Intern Lunch. We let them pick a place and they chose Gyu Kaku. One of my favourite places! I like this (Japanese BBQ) more than Korean BBQ and that’s mostly because they have cow tongue. That’s my favourite one to order and I gladly took two plates of them. Yum!

It was nice to get out of the office and just have a bit of fun with them. And it’s amazing to see them open up.

To go with the Japanese theme … Tim went to Korea this past week and they had a layover in Japan. He was able to snag these for our family. I’ve had the wasabi before but man, the strawberry cheesecake definitely takes the cake! Hehehe get it?
