...some of your greatest happinesses are family happinesses.
So today representatives of my family gathered together with representatives of the families of the immediate aunts and uncles to pay our respects to our passed ancestors and relatives. This was, of course, in line with the Chinese tradition. So bright and early, my family and I headed to the farmer's market to buy flowers. The farmer's market is a great place to buy all sorts of goodies, and like many of the other shoppers, we succumbed to the irresistible temptations of freshly popped kettle corn...and if that wasn't bad enough, we also gave in to the mini donuts :P Is it possible to create a more perfect bite-sized piece of cinnamony/sugary heaven? No. No it is not.
We headed to Colma, the city where the population of the dead outnumber the living. So if zombies ever do become a reality, be sure to stay away from that place. It was nice seeing my relatives again, and I know that my Grandma would have been really happy that we were all together as a family, remembering her and our other passed relatives. And as per tradition, afterwards, we all went out to a big feast. We hit up this buffet place called Moonstar, which is right next to Koi Palace in Daly City. It was good, some foods being better than others, and for the most part, the quality was better than other buffets.
I also learned a new fact today. The term "2 buck Chuck" is actually referring to a wine sold at Trader Joe's. Charles Shaw wine is actually sold for $1.99, who woulda thought. I'm also getting acquainted with my new toy...my Canon SD870IS. Finally I'll be able to take pictures and not have to worry whether or not my camera will turn on. While my me and my old Fujifilm did have some good times, I definitely won't miss it.
Hopefully soon, I'll have something more interesting to write about. These entries have been kind of sub-par. Do YOU have any suggestions?
