新一年, 祝大家蛇年行大運! 開心快樂! 新一年, 祝大家蛇年行大運! 開心快樂! 健康平安! Happy Year of the Snake! Wishing you a year filled with luck, happiness, health & prosperity! This year, I kept it simple with the decorations, but Bryan & I built this Lego bamboo. Lucky bamboo symbolizes prosperity & good fortune—and being Lego, it’ll last forever. I also bought some pistachios, known as “開心果” (happy nuts) in Cantonese, which symbolize happiness. 2025 hasn’t had the smoothest start, so I’ll gladly take all the happiness and good vibes I can get! 

恭喜發財! Gong Hei Fat Choy!🏮🧧🐍

We’re back at decorating Rose Parade floats this We’re back at decorating Rose Parade floats this year!🌹 Fluffing and gluing so many carnations for the Honda float. This time, we decided to come on a later date, & the vibe was totally different from last year. There were news crews, tons of volunteers, adorable rescue dogs (they’ll be on the Pasadena Humane float 🐾), & even Gayle King! Our legs & backs are aching right now, but honestly? I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Loved every minute of it! ❤️

Yesterday, we went to Disneyland and Disney Califo Yesterday, we went to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Festive, & luckily, it wasn’t too crowded. I went in with a long list of foods to try, but by 4 PM, we were already stuffed! Here are some of our favorites:

1. Mickey Gingerbread - The most popular holiday treat! We’ve had this before & loved it just as much this time around. It’s soft & chewy with ginger and warm spices. And let’s be honest - they’re just way too cute! Quick tip: I placed a mobile-order through Jolly Holiday at 7am when the windows opened. Yes, I ordered it before arriving at Disneyland. It can sold out quickly, especially on a busy day. These can sell out fast, especially on busy days. You might find them at Market House too, but there’s no mobile ordering option there. (From Jolly Holiday)
2. Waffle Cristo - A twist on the classic Monte Cristo. Ham, turkey, & Swiss cheese on crispy waffles. Adding a touch of strawberry jam & maple syrup made for an amazing sweet & savory combo. Definitely getting this again next time. (From Royal Street Veranda)
3. Mickey-Shaped Beignets - 1st time trying these. Light & fresh! (From Mint Julep Bar)
4. Lobster Nachos - The nachos were flavorful as always, though I wouldn’t have minded a bit more sauce this time. Fair warning: the jalapeños brought some serious heat!
5. 2319 - This fruity coconutty drink is non-alcoholic. So refreshing! Loved it! (From Lamplight Lounge in DCA)
6. Churro - Hot & fresh! Always a must! (From churro carts)
7. Cold Brew Black Caf - Tasty! It kind of reminds me of tiramisu. If you’re in Galaxy’s Edge area, definitely check it out. (From Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo)
8. Dole Whip - No Disneyland trip is complete without this! I always go for the classic pineapple flavor. Tangy, refreshing, & never disappoints. (From The Tropical Hideaway)
