This is my Baby Girl !!

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

Your Eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Psalm 139

Job Searching

It is the end of March, and I have been jobless for almost four month now. It was weird at beginning because I am not used to dayz without having to go to office. Then I get used to it, I learn how to use my free time, and it was great. Now I am a bit worried since everything else has been settled down in L.A., except for my job.
One of a potential job offer did not worked out yesterday, and I was kindda bummed out. I was bummed not because it could be pretty good offer, but because I am not sure what God want me to do. I am not sure why He wants me to wait for so long, and I am getting too much info from above...........
sighhhhhh.....it remind me of Yao's song "等待是多麼的無耐"..........
However, I am really thankful that Janice and everyone around me has been super supportive when I was down, and I have to say, the prayer's meeting every Wednesday is real help too. It kept me in-check weekly, and recharges my battery.

since I'm home a lot, I met my new best friend "Browney"

Getty Museum

Today is the Boyz daytrip & Girls Shopping Trip day. Originally we were all going to the Getty Museum near down town, but the girls in da house decided that shopping is more important than the art appreciations at the last minutes. So it was up to us boyz to finish what was planned.
The day started with a quick stop at the Disney Concert Hall at down town L.A..

After few photos taken and quick glance of the gift shop, we headed towards today's main attraction-the Getty.

It was a good day to visit Getty cause there is not too many people. However, the current galleries are not so exciting. The botanical garden is far more interesting, and I took a lot good photographs with the nice weather out. To enjoy the nice weather, little uncle and I grab an icy-cold beer and seating outside cafe. Uncle shared a lot of his wild story when he was young, and I had great time sharing my thoughts in life.
After the Getty, we headed toward Santa Monica Beach to avoid afternoon traffic. As soon as we pulled near Santa Monica, the fog covered the nice weather. It made me feel like back in S.F., and it felt nice. We walked around Promenade and stopped by the Starbucks then we headed back for Chino Hills.
Before we took off, the girls called after their exhaustion of shopping all day. They asked us if we want a in-n-out burger, but we decided we want fresh burgers, so we went ourselves. With nice and juicy burgers in hand, it ended the boyz trip on a good finish note!!!!

L.A. Traffic !!!

Praise the Lord, after few weeks of waiting and changing, I finally have the two interviews scheduled for today.
The first interview is with The De Stefano & Partners, Ltd. at down town L.A..I woke up a bit earlier to prepare so I can face the famous L.A. traffic Jam. It was a surprise even though I know it’s coming, the actual traffic experience is quite different shock. What can I say.......it was a lot of cars. It took me one hour and forty minutes to roll thirty-five miles, and it was just one way. Lord please give me the strength if I have to do it everyday.....hahaha.
The interview with Doug at De Stefano went real well and I think Doug would be a real good mentor. However they don't have an immediate full time position, so I am keeping my finger crossed.......
After the interview, I had lunch with Jason in a pasta place near by. Thanks to Jason put in a good word for me so I can get this interview. After lunch, I still have four hours to kill before the next interview, so I decided to check out the L.A. public library right across street from the office.
Before I know it, it was 5:30, so I left the library & heading for my next interview-Marina Del Ray. And guess what, it took me solid one hour to drive seventeen miles from down town. Oh my Goodness............
I met Wolf and Martin at Bau 10, LLC., and I think they really like my works. Wolf and Martin are two young guys from Germany, and they do a lot of contemporary house up in the Hollywood mountains. They are really funny and I really enjoy the interview. The only thing is the salary I am asking for is a bit higher than what they have in mind, but I think my good work and experiences will be worth the extra bucks, whaha. Before I took off, they told me I should check out their local bars and restaurant near by so I won't have to stuck with traffic, but I am not sure I wanna drink by myself in any bars. So I passed the offer and Janice agrees with me. Since it is close to 7:30 when I left Marina Del Ray, it is pretty smooth all the way back to Chino Hills.
I am really thankful that both interview went really well, and I met all the really nice people today. The hard part is to decide which place I should work for, and the L.A. traffic jam when commute hours comes......................

Remember Jeff Ma !

( Remember Jeff Ma website ).

I cannot believe my ears when Janice told me that Jeff Ma had passed away last week. Then all the news on TV confirmed this unfortunate event. Even though I don't know Jeff personally, but I know Yao Yao & his family has getting pretty close with Jeff for the past year. I am not too familiar with Jeff's music but I really respect his devotion to Christian music and spread God's good new through his music. I am really bummed out because we lost a great leader and an artist in the Chinese Christian Music, just when things are taking off. But I also believe God has greater plans in front of us just like when Joshua take over and lead the Israelis when Moses passed away. The sudden death of Jeff also reminded me how little control we have in our life, and how unreliable these worldly things are.

The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
the Lord is enthroned as King forever.
The Lord gives strength to his people;
the Lord blesses his people with peace,
Because the Lord is the answer to our suffer
and he knows our deepest desires and secret.
When we summit ourselves to him completely,
the Lord will reveal the secret of life and release the power from heaven.
