Unexpected Guest

I was rushing my last homework assignment (Yap I got enrolled in a programming course which had been driving me hectic-ly crazy for the last 6mths!) on a sunny Sunday morning when we heard some rustling and a soft thud on our patio (or balcony as my country folks call it).

Like I said, I was rushing, cos Sunday was the due date, and I was hoping I could finish it soon enough and make it for another skiing trip. But my curiosity got the better of me, so I got up and peeked through the patio door to see "who" the mysterious guest was:

Happy Chinese New Year! 恭喜发财!

Our first reunion dinner here in Seattle as we celebrate the coming of the lunar New Year. Do you know its actually year 4709 in the lunar calendar? Thats really long...

May the year of the Rabbit bring you happiness, health and prosperity!

Roadtrip Day 2 - Yellowstone (2010-09-03)

what an exciting day for us! After a full day's of driving, we'll soon be entering Yellowstone! Maybe I was too excited, cos I wasn't able to sleep well last night. The hostel was pretty comfortable, but I just couldn't drift into slumberland. Maybe I was cold? So I violently shook CH who was already sound asleep (Envy!) and get me my sweats (well, he's nearer).

Still. Couldn't. Sleep.

The wooden floor outside our room would creak whenever other guests walked past, which was pretty frequent, as the bathroom was just down the hallway. Somehow I managed to get into a half-sleep-half-awake stupor, and then the alarm clock rang.

Snack Day

pardon the interruption! I was supposed to continue with our Yellowstone trip (I know!) I'm still in the midst of sorting out the photos for the first day, oh gosh, there must be hundreds of them! Please bear with me, I'll get it sorted as soon as I can. Meantime, I thought I'd delight you with my recent baking project? 

Roadtrip Day 1 - Seattle/Spokane/Bozeman (2010-09-02)

since a long time ago, I've been thinking, and thinking of Yellowstone. I've heard from many about how beautiful the place is, gawked at the photos taken, watched documentaries on the picturesque landscape. How I longed, dreamt, even salivated at the thought of going there. Finally when we came to US, I thought  it would be more likely now that we're closer to this awesome place.
