Crazy times in Medical Lake...

Rainforest burning affects Kuala Lumpur

The burning of Indonesian rainforests unfortunately impacts the air quality of Kuala Lumpur. Most people with kids leave during this time of year to reduce the respitory distress caused by this annual event.

Buddha in Gold

Here is a picture I took of the Buddha adorned with gold while on the outskirts of Bangkok.

This movie was made with effects just to let you know because that would just be awkward!! 

 

wow that was so unnecessary in many ways!!

Ok I was going to put some pix but there was a problem so I try to get them. I think it was because there was like thirty pictures.

Grad student in the house!

My mom has just graduated from Gonzaga. She is now a nurse practitioner ,well mostly she has to pass a board certification test to be able to be a nurse practitioner. We were at her graduation and there were so many people graduating and it was so long and I was tired to start with. I almost fell asleep. So did my mom ( on the stage floor) ,luckily my uncle Not Cassidy's dad but a different uncle woke me up! I'll put some pictures on later we havent uploaded them yet.

Cambodia

I had a chance to travel briefly to Phnom Penh Cambodia, a poor country with a sad past. In any event I ate my first ever grilled Crocodile, it was quite chewy and not that great! :P

Anyway here is something I refused to eat, and forget about the Tarantula's....

frozen otter pops

Here we are soon to become frozen otter pops!!

Now that is a lot of moolah!

My friend in Zimbabwe, sent me the latest denomination of Zimbabwean currency.

Take a look, I asked him "how much it was worth?" He said, "very little.."

Chinese New year

Year of the Ox 2009. Malaysia is a mix of Chinese, Indian, and of course Malay. Malaysia celebrates holidays from all three cultures. Chinese New Year is set to be full of busy family reunions, or so I have been told. Many shops in China town are selling all of the festive items to celebrate Chinese New Years.

Today I am going to school but I got really jet laged so I slept till like 12.00 but I am coming to school nere the end but that is not for like an hour or so.

I am happy and sad...

I was a great visit by the family, I am sad to see them go, but happy that they return to many friends and family. I hope to see everyone sooner than later and will certainly email, call, chat, skype, etc as often as possible.

I love my family!

COMING BACK!!!!!!!!!

Today I am coming to America. For you I will come tomorrow because of the time change. So I am excited. I am also sad to leave my dad because it is hard to keep on leaving a person when you leave them many times before but still Cassidy is coming to pick me up and I think I will be cold because I no layers so I will be cold!!

vietnam

We went to Vietnam for a couple of days and it was awesome we went to a hotel called HONG HONG NGOC HOTEL. We also went to the famous junk boats that was pretty cool I was amazed at all the food there was like seven servings of food but it was cool to be able to do this stuff. We also went kayaking for two whole hours it was quite tiring but was worth it because the mountains and all that stuff that was cool looking. I will make sure to put pictures on but right know I am at home not in Vietnam!
