Chinese New Year

I had a Chinese New Year party yesterday at my apartment. I invited my colleagues at work. Some of them made it as well as my boss and his family. My boss has a six year old daughter, Emma, and a baby boy. I showed Emma how to make sushi and she loved it. She kept rolling and rolling and turned out some of the best-made sushi of the day. She didn't eat a single piece though. Like other kids of her age, she refuses to try new things. But, boy, did she have a good time making sushi. I also taught her how to play Uno Attack and she liked that too. Near the end, my boss, her wife, Emma, and I played a couple games of foolsball. To everyone's surprise, Emma was such a natural. She was playing offense and I was on defense. She scored one goal after another, finally beating her mom and dad by a score of 10 to 3. She was so excited... screaming and yelling... high-5ing with me. I wonder if she had a nightmare last night because of all the excitement.

I love kids. Maybe because I am a kid myself. I wonder when I am going to have one of my own.

Have a kid la Have a kid la. I have been going around asking friends to have kids these days.

I think it's reward to see kids growing up.

gotta find myself my woman first.

I think I'd like a daugther... well maybe it really doesn't matter. A boy and a girl would be perfect.

I would like a boy. My friend and I jokingly said that that we'll make our sons play piano and basketball really well so that he could grow up to be like Jay Chou.

If I have a little girl, maybe I'll bring her to learn guitar, and bring her to singing classes too.

Who's Jay Chou?

Find a woman la Find a woman la.

I want a daughter too - I would like a Korean-Caucasian mix :P which I am neither...

JC said...

Ha ha. Where comes the Korean-Caucasian mix? Why not Chinese-Caucasian mix?

細V said...

Jay Chou = 周杰倫。

JC said...

Thank you, 細V. I should have known.

I met a few Korean babies/children, they were just soooo cute!
My bf and I have been setting eyes on this cute little Korean girl. We were like: This will be our flower girl when we get married :) Hope her parents would be ok with that.
