Happy Mothers’ Day!

I recently went home to Hong Kong for the first time in 3 years for… a day.
24 hours with my awesome parents, our family helmed by my stylin’ mum.

Picking me up from the airport. Mum hates candids. She’s trying to look elegant and animated while pointing her ‘don’t you dare’ finger at me.

We ate at Pizza Hut because whenever anyone goes home, we revert back to childhood. Too bad I didn’t get any crayons or pogs to play with.

I know you’re all going to say that I look a lot like my mum. In Chinese, the term is “behng yun”, which literally means biscuit print, well, cookie cutter. Making babies with the same mold as the parent! I am a cookie. I want cookies. Caveacookiepreeznowpreez?

CUTE!!

Mum’s the boss. She prefers the whole family to be colour co-ordinated, it’s very pre-Victoria-Beckham.
Here we are at a yum cha restaurant. I won’t be there to celebrate Mothers’ Day with her this year but if I could I’d probably bring her to Leanne’s restaurant, The Cardinal,

for

Mothers’ Day Brunch!

Site recently re-invigorated by my handsome #BoweryBF, T.C. Meggs!

HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY TO ALL THE LOVELY MOMMIES OUT THERE!

White Girl Problems by Babe Walker at Milk Studios

Story of my life. I guess I have a ton of white girl problems even though I’m yellow.

Book release party for White Girl Problems by the trio that is Babe Walker. Everyone I know was there so it was a grand slam time.

Milk Studio’s babliest babe, Jessica Conatser.

Ubiquitous. Kept drinking greyhounds redubbed Size Zeros. (But like what if I’m a double zeroooooo… #whitegirlproblems. Jay. Kay. I’m like a size 10. PERFECT 10.)

Justin Bridges tweeted “Reunited and it feels so good” MMHMM!

Most precious duo, Small Girls PR‘s Mallory and Bianca. Ok it’s a party now. Offish.

Chris Reed and Izzy Tuason doing what they do best.

FAKE HIGH FIVING! Well, it’s always fake for Chris because he’s 70 feet tall.

Sigh* bassists… heartthrob, Kyle McCammon, making my heart skip a beat.

B the Great and his Aussie blogger friend, Tom Jackson. Is everything coming up Australian these days? Are Australians the new Asians? (Never.)

Dance party time.

My phone died so I had to stop drunk texting and focus on dancing to Mia Moretti mixes with Susie G.

Who’s ready for a Milk Made fashion week?

#WHITEGIRLPROBLEMS, amirite?

New Year’s Eve at The Cardinal

New Year’s Eve with the loveliest of ladies at Leanne’s restaurant, The Cardinal.

We drank all we could, no problem.

Leanne Hebert-Nguyen – 22 years old and the most effervescent restaurateur in East Village. We’re so proud of you, our gorgeous girl! This is your year.

Laurel, Ioana, and Kelly.

Chef Curtis Brown donning a different hat.

I know, right? Every single bite will having you exhaling ‘oh. my. god.’

Best fried chicken you’ll ever have in your entire life. Real talk.

Obviously, we drank in moderation.

Dream girl.

Dunzo.

Now your turn.

BFFs at BBR

Found these on my blackberry. One of my last (really very intoxicated) nights in Manhattan.
Jumped and hopped from Le Bain to Boom Boom Room with my son and a baby Gaga.

I woke up in a Tribeca loft, snuggled next to an iPad and six pillows.
There was an invite to the Hamptons, but I had a plane to catch.
Oh New York, New York.

Tell-all Tuesdays:
Please Don’t askfor

You ask, I tell. Selection of questions posted on Tuesdays.

these look great! did you use film or digital for the i love toronto set?

Film – 35mm Olympus Mju II. A present my mother gave to me when I was 14.

Are you ever going to sing us a song again? I remember you did a lovely version of “I’ll never break your heart” – any plans to record another, perhaps for Christmas?

Maybe Christmas, maybe sooner. I don’t know how I feel about singing online anymore

What is your preferred way to spend a (non-working) day – after sleeping in of course?

Ideally, brunch with friends and a lot of laughing. A bit of shopping followed by a nap. Dinner before seeing a band. Drinking, dancing, and lots of making out.

What is your attitude towards sex? Do you experiment?

1. Try anything once 2. With a trustworthy and willing partner. 3. Enjoy yourself.

Are you happy?

I generally like to answer this question in jest with “I don’t have the time to think about whether I’m happy!”. But if I’m going to be honest, then yea, probably more so than I have been in a while.   Not to say that my life is all double rainbows and bacon wrapped dates but it’s certainly much more interesting and productive.
