Dear Uncle Peter,

Don't feel bad about missing Makino last time. It's not the same any more. You did not miss much at all.

Rainbow Covenant

Caught this image right after work, right outside of our lanai.

It's actually a double-rainbow. You could probably see a hint of it about a couple of inches to the right of the other rainbow.

101°F Fever?

He came down with a 100° to 101° fever yesterday afternoon; hence, he is staying home with Da Da this morning while Mui Mui goes to school. He is watching the DVD "Cars" now .
Unfortunately, the DVD is due to go back to Blockbuster by Saturday.

I M Pei Influence

Excerpt from our building's newsletter, Volume 16, Number 5, December 2006.

By Deborah Rosenblum, Managing Director, Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo, Architects

Ala Wai Plaza had its first residents in the early 70s. Since that time, the strong geometric forms, clean line of materials, and night time light-washed elevator cores have made AWP an iconic piece of Honolulu high-rise architecture.
The architectural firm of record was DMJM; however, our building bears some remarkable resemblance to the work of I.M. Pei, who, interestingly enough, was "in town" during the same period for the design and construction of the East-West Cetner and Kennedy Theater at UH.
Unusual design details seen at AWP, such as floor-to-ceiling windows and a deep concrete grid to protect against glare and direct sun, are design strategies seen in other Pei designs of the 60s, like MIT.
Pei is world renowned for his elegant proportioning of large scale buildings, such as the East Wing of the National Gallery or the Bank of Chinal, Hong Kong.
We'll never get a confirmation that I.M. Pei had a hand in the design of the Ala Wai Plaza, but the similarites are still striking, and we should all be proud of having such an attractive place to call home!

Sorabol Korean Yakiniku

Annie took us to this 24-hours Yakiniku place, but unfortunately we weren't able to go out with them this time. They really know how to order good Korean stuffs. We tried some self-BBQ (actually, the waitress did most of it for us) or Yakiniku and other Korean dishes. I really liked the soft tofu or 水豆腐 though.

Kahuku "Original" Shrimps Truck

We stopped by the Kahuku Original Giovanni Shrimp truck after visiting Dole Plantation. Unfortunately, they have already ran out of the spicy shrimps. Peter bought us the lemon butter shrimp scampi (w/o rice) and good thing it did come with two small containers of hot sauces. It was a good stop!
