Is it just me or does every child of immigrant parents come home for the holidays to a list of tasks to take care of before they get to go back home? I’d swear that my parents actually queue up errands for me to do for months before my arrival. This is an actual list …

Parents and PDA
Anyone out there have parents that display a lot of affection toward each other in front of other people? How does it make you feel? Happy? Neutral? A little grossed out? Ready to hurl? I suppose it depends on how you feel about PDA in general… or is it different when it’s your folks, of all …
In Bermuda
I’m in Bermuda right now visiting my brother’s family and also with my cousins who came out to see us. I don’t know if I’ll have time to write a real entry, but maybe I’ll just keep updating this one with daily highlights (and lowlights). Day 1:Highlight: Short plane ride and got the whole row …
Bermudan Holiday
This past Thanksgiving, the whole Kim clan went to Bermuda to visit my brother’s family who recently moved there. They live a golf shot away from a small inlet of water called Hungry Bay (the little bay under the “T” in “HAMILTON” on the map). The island is small… to give you a sense of …
TP Bandit
I remember once when I was about 7 years old, my father called a family meeting. The subject: Using too much toilet paper. Apparently our household was going through toilet paper at an alarming rate, and it was putting a dent in our budget. We kids asked the normal questions like, “what if you’re…um… ‘not finished’ with …
Request for Prayer
This is only going to be up temporarily, but please pray for my sister-in-law, Hazel. She started having contractions early today and is now preparing for delivery of little Ethan now.

At the Movies with Mom and Dad
As I was wrapping things up at work, I got a call from my mother. Apparently she and Dad wanted to go out and see a movie tonight. My mother asked me what movie they should see. Now, those of you without parents who are in their 50’s and 60’s and whose primary language is …
In Case There Was Any Doubt
In a previous entry I mentioned how my brother and I have nearly identical speaking voices and that it has fooled a number of people in the past including my mother. Well, now it seems that the same goes for my father. This is a portion of an email that I received today from my brother: …
Running Around… like that headless chicken…
I just found out that my work wants me out in L.A. for a week-and-a-half. If I could, they would’ve wanted me out today, but I pushed back and said the earliest I could go out was Wednesday. Now I’m running around trying to take care of last minute things before I have to put …

I’m in love…
And her name is Sarah…
