Coming to America

August 1998

June 2006

Has it been 10 years (1998-2008)?? Wow! Time flies fast huh? I found this old picture of my family circa August 1998. We look so different (young, naive, innocent and skinny) and excited to be finally here in America. Marlon was only 14 years old back then and looks like he hasn't reach puberty yet.hahaha. Now, he is taller and looks way older than us. Must be the water we drink, "stateside" products we use or way too much Hometown buffet (according to Ge) but we look completely different now. We all gained weight.hahaha. Anyways, just wanted to share this old picture. Moving here changed or lives....for the better and we never looked back. I never had that wistful expression on my face once we boarded the plane (I was super excited since it's our first time to ride an airplane) because I know that there is an abundance of opportunity waiting for me in the land of dreams. I hoped you remembered this line from the movie, Coming to America when Semmi (Arsenio Hall) said while looking at America on the globe "The land is so big. The choices so infinite".
