A Trip to Arbortum

The water clock. The left part means hour and the right means minute, so it reads ten fifty, about the time I was ready to leave. It was more beautiful at night, with the tubes and the liquid glowing in neon blue.

Someone told me recently that he went to the arbortum right in front of the Science Meuseum which are both only a short distance from my house and he found it really nice, so I decided to check it out the second time during my vacation at home. The first time I went in there was the time it first opened (8 years ago?), and since I don't have a big craze for plants, I never really get on my nerves to go in there, not to mention a visit costs twenty dollars. Anyway, I guessed I'd chosen the wrong time because when I got there, the entrance was crowded with a huge group of tourists and my aspiration of going in was once lessened, but still, while waiting for the crowd to enter I took a short walk outside the arbortum and then went in with my ticket. Inside was air-conditioned, hot, which I should have expected beforehand. There weren't many changes for I could recalled, except for the tiny colorful frogs they exhibited. Well I must say, the arbortum would be quite a quick and short visit for those that are not a big fan of plants, but still it is a good place to check out now and then.

View Outside Our Dorm

A great view I accidentally found outside our dorm's window this evening. Our dorm is located near a lake (I will try to post a pic of it recently), and every evening there are always families or couples sitting on the bank, admiring the beautiful sunset. Us girls once rode our scooters around the lake in the evening and the view was astonishing! The water reflected the clouds were pink and gold at the same time, taking my breath away while I was trying to concentrate on the winding road.

Best Birthday ever!

My birthday presents from my friends! Two illustration books of kittens and cats (I love them!), one glittering purse, one doggy cell phone strap, and two pairs of earrings.

Since my birthday was on a holiday which most of my friends weren't at school, they decided to hold a birthday party for me two days later at a small hot pot restaurant. To my amazement, about half of my classmates whom I never expect to show up were there also! Maybe they were just having dinner at the same restaurant (haha), but even so I was very glad to have you all celebrating my birthday. Thank you all!!^^

Happy Birthday to me~

so, today is my 20th birthday!! There wasn't any big celebration, but I did get a lot of phone calls and messages from my friends, even from those I haven't seen for quite a while. I quessed this is the magic of birthday, bringing friends back together. Thank you all! I love you!

new changes

I hadn't gone home for quite a while from school, and when I finally did, there were a lot of changes for me to get uesd to. First of all was that my mom got a new car after the car accident, which was not big enough to send anyone to hospital but was enough to put the eight-year-old Ford to rest. So that was the first news I got when I stepped into the doorway, then I found a new guest sleeping carelessly on our shoe cabinate. It was the son of our old guest, a black stray cat who came for dinner everyday for the past three years, and since the other dinner guest (the orange cat) passed away about a month ago, my mom decided it was ok to feed this new comer. There my cat sat at his favorite spot, watching what was going on at the outside world, and he will be enjoying watching our new guest for some time.
