Dutch Candles

Ever since I decided we're going to have a wedding, there's something I want to have in my wedding, which is Dutch Candle. People who have never seen this might feel weird what is the difference betweeen usual wedding candles and dutch wedding candles. Honestly, I don't know. I don't even know if the dutch wedding candles I have in mind is really from Holland!

One thing I can make sure, it's from Holland Michigan, and made by dutches in Dutch Village.

The summer I graduated from school, Eddie came back to Michigan to visit me (he thought that might be his last chance to visit MSU). We visited several places that we haven't been to, including Holland, which is few hours away from Lansing. That's where we found that dutch candles.

It is very beautiful of course, and for me, it's also part of my Michigan memories.

Something Funny

During this winter season, we went out to the moutain for skiing several times. Every time we went with some friends, including one of Eddie's co-worker Pat. Pat is a very funny guy but he's not a person who likes telling jokes. He's just naturally funny with his wierdo logic.

For example, he got some Cantonese songs from friends and found one of the songs very touching. He listens to it repeatedly for whole day and sheds tears for the melody, although he doesn't know a bit of the lyrics. He said he'll be very pissed if the lyrics is not touching or sad at all. Well, good thing he doesn't read Chinese.

Pat is good at playing badminton, and once Eddie asked him "hey I heard some people call you the king of badminton. is it true?" Pat answered, "well, I think I used the word God or Father, not King."

Today the weather forecast says because of the wind blowing from Arctic area, tonight is going to be coldest night for a decade. So, Pat annouced he'll witness the history outside. Well, I am curious how long he will be able to hold on there.

Alright I know these might not be too funny for you, but Eddie and I really like his "think outside the box" logic while kinda worried how he gonna survive with a different logic than the rest of the world. Ha!
