second trip to houston

taking a nice nap with ah-gong on our flight to houston!



i travel safe!




congratulations dada on your movie opening in houston (no thanks to hurricane ike)!



can i have a sip of the champagne?!!




dada taught me how to play the piano. did you know he taught himself?!




a day before hurricane ike at (chen) ah-gong and ah-ma's house




look what hurricane ike did to their house. a big tree collapsed onto the roof and made a huge hole in the guest bedroom. ah-gong and ah-ma couldn't sleep in their room anymore because the guest room is right above their room and the rain leaked into their room through the ceiling.

the backyard is even worse than the front. did the weatherman miscalculate? this can't be category 1 hurricane, can it?

we had no power for 2 and a half days so dada cooked with gas on the porch. mama and dada also had to fan me to sleep one of the nights because it was soooo hot and humid. thanks dada and mama... i'll fan you back in the future!

shirt or no shirt?! (thanks auntie joan and uncle jeff for my cute shirt from taiwan!)


wake up dada, lets go home!

the airports in houston were closed for ~4 days but we finally were able to fly back home to LA.
i enjoyed spending extra time with ah-gongs and ah-mas though. hope the power gets restored and chen ah-gong and ah-ma's house gets fixed soon!
