Packed, Ready to go!

I just finished my packing for my trip starting from tomorrow.

I feel kind of nervous now because I'm going to travel alone.

And, it's been a while for not seeing my granduncle, more than 5 years I suppose.

My feeling of the day - complicated.

Hopefully, I have a smooth journey to Texas!

Texas, I'm coming! :D

送别

刚和两位来自中国的朋友道别...

时间过得真快，他们一个要回英国念书，一个要回清华念书...

道别时，智芳眼睛都红了... 还真有点伤感.

时间不留人啊！

不过，我相信我们会再见面的！

耀辉，智芳，祝你们一切顺利！

冬至2010

搓汤圆... 搓汤圆...

大量生产汤圆...

我们做的汤圆可是又Q又好吃！

冬至快乐！:D

Pre-Christmas Shopping

Christmas is coming really soon!Early in the morning, I woke up so early hoping to enrol into the esl class that I want, but till now I still can't enrol! duh. After more than dozen times of trying, I get tired. So, I continue my mission of the day - to hunt for Christmas gifts! West Towne Mall and Burlington Coat Factory. When I first reached there, there's one promoter approached me and promoted the so called dead sea facial products to me. The price started from 199 bucks and ended at 29 bucks! That's a huge difference. Must be something wrong. The promoter straight away asked me credit or cash. Wth, I didn't want that. I said I don't want. Then she just said bye. How rude is she! It's like forcing me to buy something that I don't want.I headed to refund one of my scarf that I bought before then shopped around the mall. I tested so many shirts in the mall. haha. But, I ended up buy nothing for myself. That's good! :P Finally, I can stand the temptations! XD

I tried 12 different colors of them! lol

I like this jacket. If I bought it, I saved 30 bucks after 50 percent discount. But, I ended up not buying it. yay!

I bought two shirts to be given away. They're wrapped by a organization in the mall. It's free of charge but I donated 2 bucks! :) And, I bought one set of hot chocolate mug set from Burlington to be given away too! I hope the recipients will like the gift that I will soon give to them.

Plus, I bought an extra set to be given to my friends from China who will soon leave Madison. How fast time passed! They are leaving soon after one semester of school here.

A penguin mug! Cute!

Nicely wrapped gifts!

I simply like Christmas because I can shop for gifts! haha

Done!

Finally, I'm done with my finals this morning!

Yay!

After finals, I worked for 4 hours at 2 different working place.

I just felt so good after finals. Every customer looks good today! haha.

So do my co-workers!

It's my last day of working of the semester as well!

After working, on my way back to home, it starts to snow! :)

I headed to Hildale Mall with Matt. I changed the digital photo keychain there because the one Mr. and Mrs. Tindall gave me malfunctioned. We watched The Tourist starring J

ohnny Depp and Angelina Jolie! There're only 6 people in the theater! How few was that! I think I fall in love with the two main characters along the movie. AJ is so gorgeous! JD gave me a mysterious feeling. And, it's my first time to see him on screen without heavy makeup. In the movie, he's a tourist from WISCONSIN! lol And, the setting took place in Venice, a lovely city! A good place for vacation! I wish I can be there one day. :)

Stunning!

Matt and I waited the bus in the heavy snow for around 20 minutes. It was freaking cold...

Heavy snows!

Matt was sheltering from the snows.

It's a good day after finals!

Last one to go!

Early in the morning at 7.45am again. :(

I kind of screwed up the Economics final just now.

The test was so challenging until it diminished my confidence. :(

I can declare that today is the last study day of the year!

Still, I don't feel like it's Sunday today!

*edit*

I got my first Christmas gift today from Mr. and Mrs. Tindall!

I'm so grateful to them. Though it's only a small key chain, but I really appreciate it!

It makes my day! :D

I am lucky, I know.

Well, after discovery, it's a USB 2.0 digital photo keychain! It can store up to 60 color photos!!! I really love it!

Cool!!

2 more to go!

Microeconomics test early in the morning at 7.45 am.

And, it's at Agriculture Hall... A super far building.

If I have to walk, it will take 25 minutes.

I gotta wake up early to review and refresh and to walk there. *sigh*

Test on Sunday.. :(

First time ever. But, cheers! It'll be over soon... :)

Just now I had my dinner on my own. I felt lonely eating alone.

But, I enjoyed the food I cooked myself! Simple yet tasty! :)

And, I listened to Christmas songs when I was eating. Even now, Christmas songs are still playing from my phone.

Ok, gotta study, study and study!

3 more!

Nutrition test on tomorrow!

Nutrition. Hmm... You should eat healthy and exercise.

That's all I know...

However, recently I eat a lot. It's a non stop eating.

It's a way to release stress I suppose. hahaha

*continue eating*

Today I miss the dinner from Mr. and Mrs. Tindall. :(

It's due to my test! Urgh.

But still, I bought a snowman container and handed to them.

Hope they will like it! Miss the chance to see them again. Aiks...

Merry Christmas in advance!

Study time again! :(

*edit*

Before I forgot, it's my last time to meet my student supervisor of my working place today.

She's Diana, a cool and moody girl, from Indonesia. She is graduating after finals, will be working in Madison. Thanks to her for all the while guiding me. It's stressful sometimes to ask for her helps because she is always moody.

I managed to take two photos with her. After all, she is cute! XD

Delivery

Today I posted 9 greeting cards to some of my friends and also one parcel back to my home!

It took 2 hours to complete all the posts due to long line formed in the post office.

I bought three shirts and fit them into one bubble mailer. Here it looks like:

Hope my sister ans my cousins will like the shirts! :)

Coldness

It's so cold outside.

Rain, Snows and Blizzards...

Coldness makes me stay home.

I wanted to go to library but ended up staying home doing my work.

:(

Lucky Day

I can conclude that today is my lucky day!

Early in the morning, I went for ice fishing with Jared. It's a brand new experience for me. It's freaking cold to fish on the frozen lake. The wind was strong. We fished for around 2 hours and

we caught 6 fishes called Bluegills. Two of them were caught by me! :) It's actually illegal for me to do fishing without a license. :P

People're fishing on the lake.

Jared with his first caught fish of the day.

Me with my first caught fish of the day! :D

Like this photo a lot! :)

In the afternoon, I went to the capitol to attend a concert. It's a tuba orchestra. When I first entered the capitol, a tall big christmas tree caught my attention. It's a real tree! How amazing was that. I listened to the pieces of christmas carols played by the orchestra. Jared's one of them playing the carols. The feeling's just cannot be described by words. In the grand capitol, you listened to christmas carols, and there's a big christmas tree with lots of ornaments right in front of you.

The big Christmas tree!

The tuba group.

At night, I attended a concert by Korean bands at overture center with Johnny, Joanne, and Matt. It's an awesome concert which I get exposure to Korean songs. And, I don't know what were they singing about. lol. The atmosphere was great! And,I got a bottle of wine from a lucky

draw! How lucky I am! :D

Inside the overture center.

Four of us! :)

The Korean band! The singer invited us.

Number 113! My lucky number of the day!

Free wine from the lucky draw!

I am lucky! :D

Dream

It's still like a dream that I'm in the states!

I've made it here for more than two weeks!

It's like a dream came true...

Complicated!

My feeling is complicated now.

It's my last night in my home before going to USA.

I'm now alone in the living room.

When is the next time I'll be here again? I don't know.

I'm actually love this home, but I'm going to leave it for about 3 years perhaps.

But, I will be back!

Just now I had a gathering with my primary school friends. I'm so happy to meet them back! It's really happy I can met them before I go oversea.

Love it!

Let's fly!

I want to update my blog!!!!

Faiz, a long lost friend

Today I met with Faiz! It's the first time we met each other after 9 years! It's so great to meet with him back. He changed a lot, become stronger! The only thing that did not change is his eyes, still the same, big enough. This was the photo we took when we were in standard 2. The one in circle is him, cute little guy. Remember still, we like to bully him when we were small in school. He left the school after standard 4. Afterwards, we did not contact at all until recently he called me! We went for an outing and we met up! =)
