Vinylmation: Tigger

Another one to add to our collection. This Tigger vinylmation is for Ci. I tried to obtain one before, but the series he is from is a "pot luck". So I had to make my own luck for my beautiful wife...

Happy birthday beautiful...

Happy 25th birthday to my beautiful wife! Her last birthday were it's just the two of us. I just want her to know that I love her very much...

Where it all started...

I went to the Western Sydney Wanderers launch at Parramatta months ago with no intentions of following the Wanderers. I just wanted to meet Shinji Ono. But something happened and what followed has been an amazing journey...

A new number in town...

Introducing ripcity's newest team member, wearing number 83, the shooting guard from Stanford University...

It has arrived...

When ever you buy presents on the Internet there's always a chance that the present won't arrive in time. Ci's 25th birthday present arrived just in time...

History in the making...

Big week this week for my Western Sydney Wanderers! The premiers' plate is ours to lose...

Spotted these two rarities...

Driving home from work you don't expect to see a McLaren MP4-12C on the road. Followed my an Aston Martin Vanquish? Once in every blue moon...

My wife's culinary delights...

I love my wife's cooking. I feel extremely blessed that my wife loves to cook for me. I know when it comes to food I'm easy to please, but when it comes to her cooking I'm always blown away! Tonight was puff pastry; main was chicken curry puffs with waffle fries & Nutella puffs for dessert...

It's a concrete jungle...

LA is a concrete jungle! The freeways are something else...

So the sonographer says she thinks...

A picture paints a thousand words; or in this case, maybe three simple words...

Better first time around...

Gengis Khan at Brea Mall. This place is amazing! We have to share a serving and still struggle to finish. Best part of it is that it's a fast food joint in a food court! However I must say last year when we had it was better then this time around. Maybe we hyped it too much...

Never give up...

...because you never know what's just around the corner...

Seafood at Paris...

When we feel like fish & chips, usually we'd go to Paris. Paris seafood at La Perouse that is...

the number seven...

My NFL team is the Houston Texans, but QB Matt Schuab isn't a player I can say as one of my favorite. Enter Colin Kapernick of the San Francisco 49ers; who could actually become my NFC team. What makes it even better is that Kapernick wears the number seven...

and it's sold...

We drove past the land today and found that they had put up a new sticker on our for sale sign. It's now sold...

Looking out my window...

My wife asked me to look out the window and see if it will rain today. Well this is the view out the window of our current residence...

PDX's new team in town...

...and they also happen to be the newest team I follow. The Portland Thorns FC will compete in the newly formed National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). Following them for my baby girl...

seven, eight, Nines...

Staying at the Nines in Portland was a thing I was looking forward to on out SoCalPDX13 trip. And it didn't disappoint...

Buffalo Wild Wings...

I don't normally like chicken, but this is different! These wild wings are delicious...

It was five years ago...

It was five years ago today, 11th March 2008, that I first met my wife. This photo would have been taken a few months after, but would have been one of the first few photos of my wife and I...

Five years of service...

Five years ago I embarked on a new journey; my Sheraton journey was awaiting me. Through the last five years I have had an adventure I never thought I would have encountered...

Transition to my local pride...

With the start of the 2013 NRL season, an idea came into mind. Something that shouldn't. Should I transfer my loyalty & start to follow my local team? I have lived in the Penrith area for 2.5 years and look forward to planting my family here. So I could say I'm doing it for my family...

The J-League is back...

With the start of the new J-League season urdblog should technically be back up and running. Well I'm already a week late, and not sure if I have the time to run it (contrary to what I said previously). But the good news is that the Reds have kicked off the 2013 season with back to back victories. My theory has been when I stopped blogging on urdblog the Reds win, let's go with that as to the reason of my delayed start...

On the streets of Adelaide...

So Nissan Motorsport made their competitive debut on the streets of Adelaide with James Moffat (#360 Norton Racing) finishing the weekend in 12th place overall. A solid start, but it's still a long road ahead...

Norton 360 Racing...

So I have formed my alliances when it comes to the V8 Supercars. I have said previously I would be returning my loyalty to Nissan Motorsport, but which team? I know both teams are under the Nissan Motorsports umbrella, but my team would have to be the Norton 360 Racing Team...

We are the Rose City...

So the Portland Timbers only revealed and released their 2013 jersey after we left the USA. Does that stop me from purchasing a jersey though? If it doesn't, I would like the "Rose City" alternate jersey. I'm just saying...

Our SoCal home...

When in Southern California, we have a place that we like to call home. That place is the Aloft Hotel Ontario-Rancho Cucamonga...

Babies got wheels...

So we have purchased baby's stroller from the United States of America. We are very pleased with the baby's first set of wheels...

The view from our land...

After months of waiting, it has finally happened! Ci and I have purchased our land! Well started the process by signing the contracts! Super excited we are...

Additions to our vinylmation family...

The SoCalPDX13 trip doubled our vinylmation family...

May the force be with you...

These two characters represent my cousin Rachel and I because they have been "Disney-fied"...
