Happy Independence Day

The fireworks are really close to us. It's pretty but the one at Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom were way more beautiful!



(this video is taken at magic kingdom on june 13th when we went there)

(at 1:50 the tinderbell is flying across the sky! that was my favorite part)

And at about eleven, we went out there and played fireworks with my sisters and their friends too.

Today is chinese new year, but still, we have to go to school like we normally do. not a lot of people celebrate it at here i guess.


I went to Yen Ching for dinner with my family last nite.
pictures would be uploaded later cause i'm kinda busy with my homework now.

honestly, i'm kind of lost interest in blogging because i'm addicted to playfish forum right now. there are lots of kind soul out there who always make donations. haha. anyway, i'll try to update my blog as often as i could. (as long as i'm not busy)

oh by the way, i went to eye exam just now & i got my contact lens. it took me for at least 15 minutes to put on the lens.

yep. that's because i've never wear a contact lens before. i have to wear it for a week, and then go back to the doctor again to check if i'm doing well with the lens.

alright, had to finish my homework now. bye.

新年快乐, 万事如意! =D

Last nite, I exchanged gifts with my family &
I've finally received my Jasc Animation Shop full version! :D
Oh YES, I was very excited & I kept playing with it..

This morning, we went to the WSU and took some pictures there.
Because the weather is not so cold today.




On the second picture, my sister was throwing her graduation cap.
OMG! I love that picture so much because it looks cool. *It wasn't taken by me though..

After we done with picture taking, we went to Bradley Fair & walked around.
There was a big and tall Christmas tree with many pretty decorations on it.

Oh and look at the fountain..




Because of the cold weather, the water has became ice at the bottom.
My poor dog was very scared of the fountain when we pretended to push him down. xD

Before we went home, we drove around in the neighborhood.
& look. this house was so pretty! :D

Today is Dongzhi festival! :D

It is also called 'Winter Solstice Festival' in English.
Traditionally, this festival is a time for family to get together & eat 'Tangyuan'.
FYI, Tangyuan is balls of glutinuous rice, which symbolize reunion.

Okay, I'm not going to tell the history of Dongzhi any further.
But you can go here if you are interested! (:



I just ate a bowl of Tangyuan, which is made by my mum & sis.
Hopefully I don't get fat because it's midnight now & I'm going to sleep soon.

Anyway, I think Tangyuan tastes really good with peanuts.
Try it if you are celebrating this festival! :D

Okay, let the pictures do the talking.
