Gung Heyyyyy Weekend

Friday night held my Chinese New Year party at the clubhouse at my place in South San Jose. It took me a hurried, concentrating 60 minutes in and out of the rain to rapidly set up the room before my guests would show up. Fortunately people didn't start arriving until after 6pm (the party was supposed to start at 5pm). Good luck writings on the walls and doors welcomed everyone,and lions warded off any evil spirits that could come through the door.

All in all, about 13 people showed up and we had a good time with a lot of Chinese and Thai food, and wine, sodas and Chinese drinks (pearl teas, grass jelly teas, and lychee drinks!). Kelly Chen, Faye Wong, and stars from the World Concert 2001 kept the energy up on DVD. A candlelit room adorned with Chinese decorations set the festive mood. Was really great to see everyone (see some pix below).

Mmm...cheap Chinese food!


Afterward most of us headed to Sunnyvale for some after-party partying at the DL party. Wuz so off the hook; I saw many people I knew there and some I hadn't seen in years! Got my freak on with my squad and some old friends heard that I teach hip hop and kept bugging me for lessons, hehe. I need to find a place and start up my classes again!

Saturday I worked a little, then dinner with a friend and took him to the airport, then met up with my squad in SF for some after-lunar-new-year partying. Lotta people showed up to the club, some who I had seen the nite before at the DL party. Music was so-so, especially with all the Indie club music. Felt as if me and my crew were clubbing one night in Bombay!

Sunday took my mom out for her birthday for dim sum at Dynasty Restaurant in San Jose. Was my first time there and the dim sum was probably the best I've had in the South Bay! Then dinner with my whole family at Super Bowl in Sunnyvale. I love my mom so much and she never looks a day over 35 to me!
