| Since my last post, I had sold my Audi A4 Avant, that I loved so dearly. And aquired a BMW M5. One of my dream cars since i was 16. Yes, for those of you that know me, thats 13 years ago =) Here's a current picture of the beast. 
Got a ton of great pictures from China also. Planning to make it back in Fall this year. http://www.lonmok.com/pictures/China/ | | |
|  Well on Monday, we parted. I am no longer the loving owner of my beautiful Audi wagon. She's in the picture above. We were joined April of 2002. After 4.5 years of service, I have sold her to another loving enthusiasts, which I hope will take good care of her.
Also forgot to mention the last 2 fridays. 2 Fridays ago, we had a nice SoCalEuro/Fusion/Coworkers Holiday party. Boy was that fun =) They barely dented the alcohol. Well the past Friday, we had another one for the gang, and they had a lot of fun. Here's some pictures that mikee took. http://picasaweb.google.com/MichaelLDang/WhiteElephant2006 I purchased a new lense for my Nikon D70. Got a Nikon 18-200mm. Dang was that a pain to get ahold of. Had to pay lil markup for it. Also ordered a Tarmac 5549 backpack to house my camera gear and some others while im on vacation in China. Also picked up a small tripod for the trip. Hope to snap a lot of good pictures of the orient. For now, I guess thats it. Happy Holidays. | | |
| Well, damn Katie for linking me to her xanga, and then triggering me to login ... and then now im looking at my own xanga and noticing i last posted something in Dec 2004.
Well interestingly enough, i guess i got a couple things to write down.
First off, i thought i was about to part ways with the love of my past 4-5 years. I never named her, but today, I will give her a name, not because my love deserves a name, she just should have one. I have named her Avangela. For those that dont know or cant figure out where i came up with such a ridiculous name, ill explain. My car is a Audi A4 Avant. The Avant section combined with Angela, which is the only name that sound i can think of that would combine with Avant ... turns out to be Avangela ;)
So today, I thought i would be parting ways with her tonight. Turns out her new boyfriend didnt have the full amount to pay for her. So we will wait til next week when he does. Gives me one last week to be with Avangela. *hugs*
So next on the agenda. Since I moved out of my parents place in Aug, me and my bestfriend/roommate Paul decided to throw a Xmas/Housewarming party. Usually I have a nice Xmas party at my parents place which is probably the nicest house to throw any party at =) Good thing my parents dont mind, since probably had parties there about 10 times now with well over 50-80 people there (big big back yard, 1 acre). Was great lil party. Invited the usual SoCalEuro car gang. Also go the Fusion cafe guy (well the guys that i initally met and befriended at Fusion Cafe) and collection of Paul and my personal friends from other places including some coworkers.
Paul picked up a Nintendo Wii last week, and has been practicing. Heaven behold, 30-40 people at our place gathered around the TV watching and play with the Wii. Bowling, boxing, tennis =)
Here's the pics, http://www.cchanphotography.com/images/xmas_party/
Overall, been a fun weekend. To fill in the blank between now and the last time i post, Dec 2004, well ... ummmm ..... i think you should just find me and find out in person =)
maybe another 2 more years before i post again? maybe .... depends if katie sends me another link ... *ponders*

| Life is the most chaotic item in existence. In one hand, you have a
world that is so happy and filled with content. In the other, you have
nothing, emptiness.
Its strange how particular moments in life make you feel like the world
is the greatest place to be. Life has meaning and the world surrounding
you is at perfect balance. And you turn around and see that the same
busy street or sidewalk corner has turned to complete silence.
Love seems to be the root of all things good and all things bad. In one
hand, you have what seems like an eternity of light and joy. In the
other hand, that same love no longer able to be contained.
People often say, the bad times in life makes you appreciate the good
times in life. Well, I say the good times in life is all you can think
about in bad times.
It seems to me, the good times in life is a significant cause of the bad times.
What can this quarter century old being understand of a world that has
so much to offer yet so much to take back. A world that has offered centuries of light and dark,
life and death, good and bad.
Only time can tell.
