Winnie + Alex Wedding

A couple weeks back, my wife and I had the pleasure of attending a friend's wedding. What was special about this wedding to us is that we got to partake in the private ceremonies between the bride & groom's family before the wedding reception. This is the first time I've experienced this and I certainly felt honored. However, I did not even take one photo while I was in the bride and groom's house, so I have nothing to show here. I did start taking photos when Winnie and Alex went out to the Kissena Park for some photo sessions before the reception. =D

Following are some photos from that day.


It was quite a large group that accompanied Winnie and Alex to Kissena Park. Most of them were either family members or best men and bridesmaid.


This boy is trying pretty hard to make the couple smile by making faces. Not sure if it worked. :)


An older couple observing the photo session. I like the feeling of this photo.




This cake topper is made by Winnie's older sister and she's not a professional. Looks pretty good.

Cherry flowers everywhere

Well, at least in Branch Brook Park, NJ.

Got a chance to see some cherry blossom a week ago. While it wasn't at it's fullest blossom, it still looked very pretty.






Saw a guy driving this pink oldie car. The pink car goes with the cherry blossom season perfectly. =D








Saw these people at the park. Don't know what this game is called but look at the face of the person throwing the ball and look at the guy behind cheering. You can tell they are really into the game.

Taiwan trip photos

My wife and I stayed in Taiwan for 2 weeks. It started raining the day we got there and it rained consecutively for 4 or 5 days so besides running errands we basically went nowhere in the first couple of days. This was a big disappointment in our measly vacation. However, the weather for the rest of the trip was pretty cooperative and I guess I should be thankful for that.

You can view the entire album by clicking the blog title but here are a few from the trip.

P.S. Noticed this is the my first 2008 album. Just goes to show you how winter in NYC makes me lazy. =D



Wild dogs are common in Taiwan. I love the expressions on these two. Don't they look related to you?


A store selling various types of buns that had people lined up waiting to buy. When we see people line up, we do too. We bought 20. LOL. I like the bun a lot but do not think the meat inside was the greatest that I've ever had. Maybe other fillings are better.


Can you believe it? This is the FIRST time that I tried the super duper popular "Super Spicy Hot Pot"? Thank you, my dear cousins, for bringing me there.


I love this photo. I name this "Friends".


This may not look it but it's probably the best tasting "Do Hua (豆花)" that I've ever had.








These figurines are cute, arn't they? Except the blue one, which I think look too much like a 殭屍 (sort of like zombie in Chinese legends). Would probably scare me if I see it out at night.

Back from Taiwan

Just got back from Taiwan a week ago. Taiwan is 12 hours ahead of NY time but surprisingly, I've had no real jet lag this time as I tried to adjust for the time difference on the plane. Kudos to me.

What trip would be complete without some photos, right? I've started looking at the photos from this trip and will post them when I'm done.

clearcubic.com home page...empty no more

The clearcubic.com home page has been empty for a long time. Well, not any more. With the help of my wife, I've placed 3 big icons on it so the home page doesn't look lonely now.

Hmm...I wonder where's the clearcubic.com logo. =D

Misc. old photos

Grand Central Terminal

The following is one of the earliest photos that I took (2004) but is one of my favorite.
