Major Prius Bumper Dent Repair
Rather than paying for an expensive Toyota Prius bumper replacement after an unpleasant encounter with a parking lot pole, we decide to attempt the do-it-yourself, armed only with a can of solvent, two hair dryers, and some touch-up paint. Half of the fun is listening to Dad’s comments! Your mileage may vary! We were lucky [...]
Sky High Trampoline Overdose!
What’s it like to spend a day at Sky High, the premier trampoline facility in San Jose, CA? Check it out in this comic book format, edited entirely in iMovie 09. Hope you brought your Dramamine! Shot with the Canon VIXIA HV30.
Kenya Photos: Gritty Edition
This week, I have some photos to show you the grittier (and quirkier) side of our Kenya trip. These probably won’t make it out to any of our official newsletters! We decided to share some international love in Nairobi by writing “Wash Me” in as many languages as possible on the side of a dirty [...]
Kenya Memories: One Month Later
I can’t believe we’ve already been back from Kenya for over a month! For those of you who haven’t seen any of the photos yet, here’s a selection of favorites memories and photos which I call “The Happy Collection”. =] Our team’s first stop was Paris! We had an eight hour layover en route to [...]
My Prius Ran Out of Gas
Here’s the extended story on how I essentially paid $276 for what could’ve easily been prevented with a $30 tank of gas: By early last night, I still had a nasty crick in my neck (the same one that’s kept me at home for the previous two work days), so I decided to go back [...]
Wild Animal Park
Steph and I were trying to figure out what to do with ourselves last weekend, and so we decided to go to Wild Animal Park in San Diego. Beautiful weather, critters from the African Savannah, and barely any crowds — what more can you ask for? There were plenty of fuzzy creatures Sunbathing rhinos Silly [...]
Point Lobos, Land of Great Rocks
To kick off the New Year, we decided to check out the Point Lobos State Reserve. (“The Greatest Meeting of Land and Water in the World,” according to their promotional material.) Thanks for the suggestion, Debora! We don’t have many photos of both me and Steph, but one thing we did have a lot of [...]
Fondue at The Melting Pot
Steph and I rarely go out for fancy dinners, given our general lack of appreciation for epicurean delicacies and the associated costs, so when we have the opportunity to try somewhere nice for a special occasion, we try to make it count. I think the 4-course meal at The Melting Pot in San Mateo totally [...]
Happy Anniversary, Steph!
Some of my favorite memories since December 30, 2006: The top layer of our wedding cake that Steph’s mom lovingly preserved for us in a basketball case: Catching the perfect sunset in St. Petersburg: Unwrapping the mountain of generous gifts after the honeymoon: Enjoying the first homecooked meal in our new apartment: Taking walks on [...]
Happy Birthday, Prius!
This news comes a bit late, but my Toyota Prius is 3 years old! “Tubby” (Steph’s name for it, not mine) served me faithfully while I had a 20-minute commute from East Palo Alto to Stanford and back (with weekend trips to Berkeley to see Steph) and continues to do so now with my 2.5 [...]
Time to Run Again
Went on a run this morning. I decided I needed to go running again as a spiritual discipline exactly one week ago at the Baylight retreat, talked about it here and there throughout the week, but was still at the “Yeah, I think this would be good for me, but haha, when am I ever [...]
Mega Update, September Edition
Welcome to another Mega Update! A little something for everyone… Steph and I went seakayaking at the beginning of the month in Monterey, in search of sea otters, baby seals, and other marine critters. And boy did we find them! I don’t know if it was the time of day or the tasty otter snacks [...]

Singapore Photos Series 4: Chili Crab!
This entry assumes you’ve already caught up on Singapore Photo Series 3: Tea Ceremony! “KENNETH!!” some of my readers have responded. “WHERE are the ceremony and reception pics from the S&S wedding?” Patience, friends, patience. I’m getting there! I mean, how many other things could possibly happen between the tea ceremony and the church ceremony, [...]
Singapore Photos Series 3: Tea Ceremony
This entry assumes you’ve already caught up on Singapore Photo Series 2: Bartering for the Bride! When we last left off, it was still unclear whether Seiwei would actually win Steph’s heart by his valiant efforts through the tests of courage. Finally, we enter the inner chamber… Success! Here Seiwei and Steph apparently perform an [...]

This entry assumes you’ve already caught up on Singapore Photo Series 1: Pre-Wedding Festivities! Okay, now here’s some coverage of the Steph and Seiwei Wedding, Day 1.

Singapore Day 1
I’m in Singapore now for the fabulous wedding of Seiwei and Steph! This promises to be an action-packed couple of days. My hosts here just finished giving me the tour of their condo and are going to bed now, so I thought I’d give you a little update. Sorry, no photos yet! (Hey, c’mon, I [...]
Jen and Jason: Wedding
In this post, I’ll be covering the fabulous wedding of Jen and Jason, which took place last weekend in “one of the FIRST great Wine Country establishments”, the Auberge du Soleil. And what a wedding! When I first arrived and left my Prius with the valet, there was a gentleman about my age who immediately [...]
Kenneth and Stephanie: Honeymoon
And we’re back! After the wedding was the honeymoon. Oh, in case you’re tuning in late and missed a few episodes, the Honeymoon makes a whole lot more sense if you go back and realize that Stephanie and I had a Wedding Ceremony and a Dinner Reception. =] For the honeymoon getaway, we spent nearly [...]
Mega Update: January 2006
That’s it. I am going to write this update. Yes, right now! No more wimping out! (“But Kenneth, I’m soooo sleepy!”) Nope, naptime is over! Update your blog! Sooo… picking up where another very excellent monster Xanga update left off… Near the end of October, I did site visits of Santa Clara University and Berkeley’s [...]
Mega Update: October 2005
[From waaay back] Steph and I took an East Coast Tour near the end of August, just before she needed to start her 2nd year. We managed to travel through most major parts of Boston, New York, and Philadelphia in a grueling 7 day trip to visit friends and see the sights: More at http://niftyken.stanford.edu/gallery/v/KennethSteph/KS_EastCoast/ The [...]
