My Thanksgiving Dinner at Corner 28

Did everyone woke up from the Thanksgiving Food coma yet? What did you thankful for on this special day? I asked myself the same question and It remind me how blessed I am and how many great things I have to be thankful in my life. My dad and my sister (Ally) was able to down from upstate to celebrate this special day with me, my mom and my youngest sister. My parent didn’t make any turkey dinner, in fact we dine out at this really great Chinese restaurant called Corner 28, located in Flushing, New York. My dad worked as a chef in a Chinese restaurant upstate. I guess that made it a lot easier when it comes to ordering food for him. Before I get into all these delicious food from Corner 28. I would like to share the following thanks.

Wuchang Skateboards Design

I recently watched a movie called Ghost of Girlfriends Past. The plot talks about a guy who is haunted by the ghost of his past girlfriends. The story is very similar to Christmas Carol, where each ghost takes you to a different time in your life. As you may recall there is a grim reaper that shows up in the story of Christmas Carol and he looked scary with a skull head.

So, why am I talking about grim reaper in my design blog and it’s not even Halloween yet. Well, I just found an interesting skateboard design with Chinese grim reaper illustrations on it. They are called the Black and White Wuchang. In Chinese mythology, they are the grim reapers from hell whose responsibility is to pick up the spirit from the dead person.

This skateboard set is already in the Chinese market, designed by a young talented designer name Ray. He’s currently 21 years old and studies at Qing Hua College in China. This design grabs my attention right away. The mix of design elements on the skateboard using Chinese decorative elements are very unique and makes me want to explore more of these Asian decorative elements.
