May the New Year bring more fun with Minami California!

A camera and Minami Cali are all I need to start a party.

Work and play

Minami thinks we went all the way to downtown LA to take photos in front of the crappy warehouse district. But I'm actually getting backplates for VFX work.

Watch "Minami California Asian Lady Driving" on YouTube

We probably can't return to this Whole Foods after our little accident.

Watch "Fairy Godfather" on YouTube

I like testing toys on Minami so that I won't have to buy them.

This is what our check out looks like... not very echo for a Whole Foods... dig the irony?

I must admit to having fun tearing up the store with the kid's shopping cart. The Whole Foods employee that cleaned up after us wasn't happy.

Stop cryin like a twist Panda! The coppers will never take us down in this machine.

"Stop cryin like a twist Panda! The coppers will never take us down in this machine." Minami makes a quick get away with her accomplice.

Macau custard tart at Elite Dim Sum. Minami's favorite.

We ate a few Macau custard tarts in Macau. The ones in Macau were a bit bigger, flakier, and the custard more firm.

It's a Christmas miracle, Minami's 1st Christmas tree at home.

This year we've stepped up to a nice big Christmas tree thanks to Minami's aunty Kathy.

Minami Cali Luv

Minami Cali knows how to party - so many possibilities when you name your kid California. Testing slow motion on my Galaxy Note 2 and auto edit on Magistro.

My Hero

In another random incident, Minami saved me some embarrassment as I had just returned a shopping cart and was walking back to the car where Minami was waiting. But when I looked at her in the car window she was screaming and pointing behind me. Normally I would just tell her to chill out but I decided to look back and saw a whole train of shopping carts rolling down the parking lot with my cart in the lead. I ran back and stopped the line of 4-5 carts just before it hit a parked car. That was a close one!

Breaking Silence

So in Minami's music class, the teacher instructed everyone to be quiet while Minami softly sang a random song she knew. In that silences someone totally farted and who was the only one laughing: me. And yeah, it wasn't me that farted.
