X'mas at BBM

So I went to Berkeley Buddhist Monastery today to celebrate Xmas! Lolz... Lunch was sumptuous, and i met Andrew!!! My most beloved lil brother in the states!
So this was Andrew before I left the states in 2005.

And this is Andrew now!

He's grown so much... but still as adorable as ever... lolz..
Notice we are both wearing inner green shirts! Matching clothes by coincidence again! hahz...
So we gave each other such a big hug that Mr. Fang, a chinese doctor on site shook his head in disapproval saying that i could have further sprain my spine if i was not careful. I had consulted him on my spinal injury earlier.
Following that, Mrs Chen, another chinese medical expert walks in and the moment she saw me she said "wait... don't tell me... u injured your spine on the 3rd notch during the army?" And she did that just by looking at me... genius man... i'm so blessed to know these elders in the field...
Then David Williams shows up after lunch! So nice to see him to, used to hang out with him and sandy almost every night drinking tea, baking cookies and chatting the night away. So we went to Teance to drink tea and catch up, and even got a palm reading from a Persian grandfather there too! Hahz.
We drank for a long time there until the shop owner Winnie asked if we were free and wanted to help out. So we said sure! And she got us to help her pack tea and so the drinks were on her for the day and we even got to bring back a pack of tea of our choice as payment! How cool!
Back at the monastery, i was dragged by Andrew to sing Carols for the assembly and they even had a ginger bread house building session. A packed day full of surprises.
