This is in Brooklyn Chinatown, in Sunset Park. One of my high school teachers told me he grew up in Sunset Park and that back then it was completely an Italian neighborhood. Chinatown in Manhattan also took over the Little Italy area; I wonder whether Flushing used to be Italian too before it became Chinese.

On Sunday I accidentally left my wallet in the car service taxi. Luckily the driver found it, but he was so slow to return it to the office -- I had to bother them for the past 4 days ! They are so funny, they scotch-taped around the whole wallet, so that I would know it was secure with nothing taken from it.

The only snowman I've seen so far this winter is the one on this balloon. I got it from Frist a few winters ago, and my sister liked it so much, she kept it even after it had already deflated.

Hilary found this necklace, after much searching -- apparently it is hard to find jewelry of yellow color that is not made with amber. As this was my birthday gift from her and several other friends, she did not want to choose something made with dead insects.
This is my favorite necklace, and I wear it almost every day.

On Saturday I met Cindy at the Brooklyn Museum, which was super-crowded by everyone trying to catch the last few days of the Annie Liebovitz exhibit. Because of a special sculpture exhibit upstairs, all the Rodin sculputures have been moved to the lobby of the museum. This is one of them, I don't remember the title.

Co Nini is one of the few Vietnamese we know in New York. I stopped by her office on my way home to drop off something, and decided to take a picture of her at work. One good idea she has is to provide sunglasses to her patients so that they are not blinded by the bright light shining on their faces. Next time I go to a dentist, I will bring sunglasses.

View of Prospect Park from the plane arriving to LGA. The angle was too close so my house is outside the picture frame, but it would be close to the bottom left corner of the screen. Another fun thing about this photo: the sun was setting so the light condition gives the impression that it is fall (red leaves) rather than winter (gray branches).

70 degrees in January ! So extraordinary, it seems that everyone decided to go out today. After taking my two aunts to dim sum in Chinatown, we ran into another aunt and uncle and various cousins who had just eaten in the area. And then, Hilary and Arel happened to be in Brooklyn so we all went for a walk in Prospect Park, where we kept trespassing on other people's football games.
In photo (if you can spot them): Lisa, Arel, Hilary and my dad, Tata Son, my mom.

Late last night my aunt from Australia arrived and immediately today engaged full-force in one of the activities most popular among our overseas relatives who visit the U.S. -- shopping. As soon as I came home I saw our living room floor full of bags and boxes, and my mom and aunt sorting through everything. It's a bit crazy, she still has a full suitcase of clothes left behind on her last trip here !

I need to take less blurry photos.

My good friend Lisa Chen now lives only 3 blocks away from me. She somehow encountered delays on her way home from vacation in India and Hong Kong, so I had to help her set out a bag for her mailman yesterday. One strange thing though -- I came into her apartment last week to leave a Christmas card, and definitely do not remember seeing this huge bag on the table. I took this picture so I could ask my friend who was with me whether he saw it at the time. Quite mysterious...

The first picture for this blog was actually taken by someone other than me, and before I had the idea for my resolution. Still fitting though, as this was during a New Year's party (at 12:06am, to be exact).
In photo, clockwise from top left: some girl, me, Jon Bydlak, my brother Michael, Maria (falling!), some guy, Jon Stein.
My 2007 New Year's Resolution
I normally am not able to think of anything in particular that I would want to make as my New Year's resolution. This year, however, I was inspired by an idea on this newsletter (photojojo) -- I am going to take a photo each day and document the pictures on this blog !
