Fun Facts

• We've known each other since 1999.  There is one longer running couple that we know of,  Edmond and Laura who are getting married this year too!
• We were engaged on April 10th 2004.  Chuck and Camilla worship us so much they had their wedding one year later.
  
• When we first me, she thought I was a motorcycle punk.  I thought she was a grad student.
  
• The first thing that caught my attention was her oddly-styled shiny Kicker's shoes that looked like kid's shoes.
  
• Our first date was to see a Canucks game.  Thanks to unreasonably expensive tickets, we went for sushi instead.
• I knew she was the right one because she ate more than California rolls, salmon, and cooked dishes.  She also didn't make a wasabi slurry with soy sauce like most people.
• On some alien planet, the chefs of the original Sushiboy, Magic Oven/Naked Chicken, Crepe Bretagne and Formosa Restaurant have gathered.
  
• I had pager before my cellphone.  I used my ESP to know when she was calling if I misplaced the pager.
  
• She used to work at a fish feed company and I worked at a tortilla factory.  After work we smelled like fish and corn.
• Our favourite pastimes are eating, looking at food, talking about food, making food, and shopping but usually not buying.
• We once walked from Port Moody to Vancouver.  Along the way we found a place with the best cheesecake.
  
• Vivian's music favourites are Twins and Hacken Lee.  My favourites are Everclear, Guns & Roses, Bee Gees, and Twins.
• Vivian's favourite TV show is Amazing Race and some goofy HK celebrity gameshows.  My favourites are Wings Over Canada, Rick Steeve's travel shows and Amazing Race.
  
• Temperature-wise Vivian is a human freezer.  I'm considered a human furnace.
• We once rescued a lost, abandoned bunny by using a biscuit to lure it and a laundry basket as a cage.
  
• I like my kitchen counters and washroom clean and scent-free.  I use a dilute bleach solution to wipe the surfaces.
  
• We wander around the city walking quite a bit.  If you are living in Greater Vancouver and don't hide at home,  you would have bumped into us at least once in the last two years.  If you haven't seen us, we still probably saw you.  If not, quit hiding!
• Vivian likes her shoe and clothing shopping.  I probably know more girls' shoe and clothing styles than many girls but I still don't understand why some really ugly fashions sell. (Clarification - I'm not making a comment about Vivian's fashions.  It's a comment about some dreadful designs.)
  
• Vivian has never heard or watched Battlestar Galactica or Gomer Pyle.
• You can save a lot of frustration and make Ikea furniture fun by buying a real set of metric hex wrenches and a clump of bee's wax (wax works but it's not as funny).  Rub bee's wax on all threaded screws and bolts.  You'll be amazed.
• There's a splat of chocolate on my suit from my brother's wedding chocolate fountain.  If I can get away with it, I'm going to wear the chocolate to the wedding.  SShhh!  Maybe someone won't see this.
  
• Sometimes we go car shopping pretending we're buying a car.  Sometimes we go house shopping pretending we're buying a house.
• If we were reincarnated, in our past life, we were probably Mexican- Korean-Thai-Italian-Japanese-French-Vietnamese-East Indian-Greek-Persian-Chinese slaves who were not allowed to eat much, bitten and chased by dogs, and saved by a pack of friendly bunnies and cats.
• One of the most interesting things we've eaten is live, fresh uni (sea urchin).
