It's day three-six-five...

I can't believe I'm here; made it to day number three hundred and sixty five. My “journey” to thirty has reached it's destination...

Urawa Red Diamonds...

They are my team, but unfortunately tonight they weren't able to deliver the result we wanted. A draw is better then a lost though. We are reds...

My last purchase as a twenty-something...

Which will it be; Portland Timbers or Tim Tebow's? Both are authentic jerseys and their cost are identical...

It's those little things...

A smile to greet me when I came home from work...

I am Goofy...

Getting closer to the big three-zero; so I thought I'd dress up as my favorite cartoon character. Sure why not...

Another of my favorite...

The Porsche 911...

Boots were made for working...

My work shoes could very well be the last “fashion items” I purchase in my twenties; and damn so they look good...

A car squared...

The Nissan Cube; car I like but the wife does not. So the car has to be dumped... 

The pizza crust...

Yes it's just take away pizza, but the Cajun pizza from Crust is quiet possibly one of my favorite pizza out there...

Tofu delivery...

Initial-D is possibly the only anime I watched & this Toyota AE86 was the star. Yes I know it was a cartoon but the cars were truly the main characters...

The Darlington of PDX...

Darlington Nagbe of the Portland Timbers would be one of my favorite players in football...

Photo-bombing...

Here I am photo-bombing lil Max's selfie...

Spreading the love...

I need to catch up on my blog, so I'd spread the love on behalf of PTFC...

Simple yet delicious...

Nothing special about the place or service, but the food is simply delicious...

Professionally taken...

The original raysir taken at a "car show" by a "professional" photographer. Not a bad photo of a not so bad looking car aye...

My first football team...

When I say football I mean soccer and the very first team I followed/supported (this was when I was still a young lad; under 10 years old) was Ajax Amsterdam...

It starts now...

You don't need to wait "until you're ready" or "for the right time"...

The search for...

Do we search for freedom or happiness...

Happy Mother's Day mum...

We celebrated Mother's Day today with a sporadic lunch with mum. The Mother's Day dinner we planned is actually going to be this Wednesday. But mum this is a little something from Ci & I...

Preparing her room...

So the preparation has begun; the room has been cleaned up, now it's time to add the items we need (like a cot)...

Happy birthday Andrew...

Today we went to a dual celebration; where a thirtieth birthday was combined with an album launch. The birthday boy is Andrew Mihaleff and his album is "Night is Broken"... 

My couch buddy...

Tigger is waiting for me to come home so that we can watch TV together... 

Jesus Culture...

“Your love never fails it never gives up it never runs out on me” such an awesome worship album...

In the blink of an eye...

Life happens in the blink of an eye...

Alex Morgan...

American soccer player who plays for the Thorns; and she's from Diamond Bar. A player I wouldn't mind my daughter to aspire to...

More of my favorites...

I used to collect basketball cards & Damian Lillard is my current favorite. So this is a combination of the two! Ironically the cards are based on when I used to collect them (92-93)...

May the forth be with you...

It was Star Wars day so I had to repost this...

A new ROTY in town...

Congratulations to Damian Lillard! Unanimously voted as the NBA's 2012-13 rookie of the year...

Since when did April have 29 days...

Blogged a few seconds too slow I did...

Thirty days till thirty...

It's getting closer the big three-oh...

These chocolate puffs...

They taste delicious, but what makes them even better is that they were made with love by my beautiful wife...

Mr & Mrs to be...

Went to Jeff and Sara's house for the first time today, so we dropped off some house warming gifts. Hope they like it...

Double trouble...

We went up today to Port Macquarie for a quick day trip to visit the family. These two cheeky ones may be a handful but are always good value...

Pregnancy friends...

Last night we had dinner with Hsin Hui and Matt at Sushi Tei; they are also expecting their first child a month after us. It's always good to catch up with them, a couple we get along with really well. Great part is Matt & I were able to enjoy the sashimi, beer & sake together...

urdblog on Instagram...

My urdblog empire has expanded to Instagram; go on check it out! You know you wanna...

Anzac Day; she said yes...

The day was Anzac Day 2010, the location was Tokyo Disneyland. I asked a question, answered with a yes and I fall more in love with her everyday...

Anzac Day; Lest we forget...

The sound of bagpipes resonate throughout the hotel lobby every Anzac Day. It's hauntingly beautiful & sends a reminder of the brave solider's sacrifices for our freedom today...

Witnessing PTFC @ Jeld-Wen

I've made it to Jeld-Wen but unfortunately I was a few days too early. Good thing about me though is when I've been somewhere once I know my way back. After watching on the internet both the Thorns & Timbers play in PDX, I'm hanging out for a return visit to experience the atmosphere first hand...

No toilet seat this year...

Went to the A-League grand final today & we didn't get the result we wanted. Just wasn't our year to win the grand final, but we are the premiers (which in football worlds is what's important) & grand finalist in our maiden year. So congrats to the Central Coast Mariners for winning the "toilet seat" and it's onwards and upwards for the Wanderers...

Grand final day...

Before it was cool to be at Wanderland...

The Saitama Derby...

The picture paints a thousand words...

Thank you ripcity...

We didn't make the playoffs and we lost out last 13 games, but that doesn't matter as this was a rebuilding year. With a core of Lillard, Aldridge, Batum & Matthews bring on next season. As Batum said, " We're a top 5 team in the west next year"...

By any other name...

Looking forward to following the Portland Thorns FC in the NWSL. The reason; for my daughter...

I can't wait for this...

Tickets have been purchased and I'm super excited to be apart of history...

The captain's will...

Will Johnson has been a new addition to the Portland Timbers this year, but with the added responsibility of captaining the team, Johnson also leads the Timbers in goals scored in 2013. Here's for a successful 2013 for the Johnson & the Timbers...

A bit of this from that...

Tonight's dinner was a bit of everything from everywhere; salsa sausage, curry pie, sesame prawn toast & some waffle fries. Odd combination yes, but still delicious to me...

Welcome to the neighborhood...

These guys are new to the neighborhood; they are like the welcoming committee o our estate...

Collecting basketball cards...

When I was a kid I use to collect basketball cards; so see this picture brought back all the memories...
