Recap 2010
Okay, I am an absolute slacker. A lot to say about the second half of 2010, but in short, it was lots of traveling, food and love!
Guess where I went?!
PERU!!!!!
Oh yes, I WAS ON Machu Picchu!!!
Love that country, wonderful people, beautiful mountains and amazing FOOD!
Okay, now guess where did I visit as well? Let me give you a hint, it's also on the list of 7 wonders!
Great Wall in China!!
Bejing, as I expected, has disgusting pollution and traffic, but at the same time the food was AMAZINGLY GOOD! Oh, so much to talk about the food in Bejing!
When I was back to the office and my coworkers suggested to have lunch in the Chinese restaurant nearby, I was like "I can't eat the crap!"
Yea, I can't eat the crappy food in Seattle anymore......(No offense, I am just talking about the crappy Chinese food here ;) )
Anyways, stay tuned for uploads!

Chinese steamed buns mania
Left to right: Sweet steamed bun with pine nut filling, matcha and azuki bean roll and savoury steamed bun with pork filling.
These are thank you gifts for my coworkers. It's a long story. I purchased some baking tools from a Japanese website and mailed to my Japanese coworker's parents address in Japan. Original plan was to have my coworkers to bring them back when she went back to Japan, but her super nice parents actually mailed it to her before that, so I owed them a even bigger favour!
I especially made them with something that Japanese like: Matcha and Azuki beans (Green tea and red bean), pork stuffing and pine nuts.

Chelsea's wedding invitation
Being a slacker for a while, I knew the next post has to be an exciting one!
Here comes the freshly designed and hand-printed wedding invitations for Chelsea and Matt!
Chelsea came to me and asked if I would be interested in designing wedding invitation for her. Hell yes! Sure I am interested! She likes a simple invitation with drawing of herself, Matt and their kitty. After a few conversation understanding her wedding style is causal and fun, I suggest screen printing the invitation, as it gives the same human touch and uniqueness, but more cost effective than letterpress.
The best part of this project? The illustration! I understand what Chelsea was looking for and got on the right track all the way. The final illustration was actually the first sketch!Project overview
