    Last night we had Cyrus and Tracy's banquet.  We returned home and fit the wedding cake into the freezer.  Then we all get ready to sleep.

    After worship, we went to Alhambra's Garden restaurant to eat.  Just as the old times --- wait wait and wait.  8 tables ahead of us.  But i'm used to this kind of life.  This is accurately the thing I like about here --- slow.  If I want fast, I can go somewhere else; but if I am not in a hurry, I like a leisure and slow pace activities.  Slowness makes you think more before you act, hence a better decision.  E.g. shopping slowly, writing slowly, or eat slowly in general gives you better results as compared with doing things in a rush.

    The life in Hong Kong is too rush.

    Then we returned home at around 3pm.  Mom and dad went to take nap.  My sister was supervising her kids to do homework amist the AH1N1 break.  I went to Glendale Galleria to do some shopping.  (Ever since I'm back to LA I did not have a proper leisure time to shop for myself.)

    At night we went to University City's Hilton for seafoot buffet dinner.  Very good.  Almost all waiters/waitresses are speaking Chinese.  It has shark fin soup too.  We had this buffet dinner to celebrate both Tracy and Cyrus' dads (as well as their siblings' husbands/dads).

    Dining in California style is good.  But you won't know what's "California style" until you're out of California.
