You'll be green with envy

Guess what my wife (Joy) and I were doing?

1. Preparing for a Halloween party.
2. We love "Wicked" so much that we want to be just like the witch.
3. Or may be trying to be the hulk.
4. Plain mud fun.
5. Camouflaging to prepare for paint ball.

Correct Answer: plain mud fun.

One day, Joy wanted to do this face mud business. Since the skin of my face is so dry, she wanted me to do the same. After us exchanging some "no", "yes" back and forth, I reluctantly agreed to try.

Being the first time putting the mud on my face, it certainly was a new experience. The mud is originally moist (dark green portion) but when the mud starts to dry (the light green portion), I could feel my skin being tightened.

Because this is something that I might never do again, I decided to take a photo of both us having some mud fun. The reason that we have such a "peaceful" expression on our face is because we have to keep the mud surface not cracked and any movement of the face might destroy the smooth mud surface. But this is a great photo, no? =D

June 17, 2008 - Firefox 3 World Record Day

If you don't know what Firefox is or don't use it currently, I HIGHLY recommend that you go download it on June 17, 2008 and use it. The version 3 that is coming out on June 17 is a much, much better browser than IE (Internet Explorer) is.

And if you download it on June 17, you'll help Firefox set a Guinness World Record. How fun is that? Hahaha~~

Emotional

Probably not new, but it's a slideshow titled "A Moment of Silence" that I saw from NYTimes.com. It's about people in China paying respect to the earthquake victims. Very emotional photos.

It is sad that so many people died in this natural disaster but here's a thought that I had. Is it us that caused so many people to die? What happened to the people from thousands of years ago when there was earthquake? Was the survival rate during earthquakes much higher since there were no tall buildings or buildings made of materials such as concrete? This is probably something we'll never find out?

Randomness @ South Street Seaport, NY

Went to the South Street Seaport after work a while back. Snapped a couple of photos. And the following is pretty much the entire album. =D








So cute.
