IM BACK IN SPORE! but i shall update on the last 5 days of the trip..

Day 6: we went to play miniature golf! the ones here are much bigger than those in spore.. i scored a 61 for an 18-hole course! beating my mom n sis HAHA. it was between a children's par and an adult's par. then we went to Solqualmie Falls Park. it was basically a big big waterfall, for ppl to exercise i guess. haha. we walked all the way down to the bottom, which was quite easy. my sis n i climbed down a 2 storey tall rock wall. it was really rocks, and it was not 'legal'. but nobody cared anw. it was really pretty, i'll post pictures when i hv the time. the walk back up was much more tiring, its like 2.4 run or sth! cuz it was quite steep. after that we went to Shanghai Gardens restaurant, n i finally got to eat my long-awaited niangao! somehow this restaurant cooks it differently and i like this one better.

Day 7: we went to this Experience Music Project thing! its this music exhibition in seattle. there's this really cool thing called the Roots and Branches structure by Trimpin. basically its a really big structure of instruments! and these instruments, they are controlled by a computer program such that they can play a piece of music together. it sounds like gamelan music.. then there's this sound lab, where you get to learn how to play a new instrument. and there's many other cool stuff like learning about walt disney animations, definitely not the classical history kind!

Day 8: first we went to eat vietnamese food! 1st time eating vietnamese. its really nice, this rice noodle and beef soup was great! after that, we went to the zoo! their zoo was really big! i love the monkeys! and we even got to touch a goat! we saw animals like giraffes, lions, deers, gorillas, birds, tigers etc. it was really fun! but grandpa was almost sleeping the whole way. at night, we went to nathan's house! we played this really fun game called Set. Nicole was really good for a 5-year-old. :D

Day 9: Last day at Seattle. We went to Costco, this giant place which has almost everything! we bought vitamins, coloured socks, this organizer cart thing, and ate sample food along the way! i love this place, its one of the few places i rmb, cuz i love the hotdog buns there! didn get to eat this time though. In the afternoon, we went to Crossroad, a foodplace cum shopping centre. i ate japanese food there, and starbucks again! after that, we went back n played Crochets in Uncle's 43000 square feet garden! Crochets is something like putting in golf. then we also played kickball and baseball! megan was really good at baseball. at night, we watched Eragon and Nathan and Nicole came over. We played Clue, Set and Risk! we din even get to finish our game before we had to leave. Megan gave us this 2 cute fluffy balls.

Day 10: On the plane home.. :( i finished Beyonce's CD and watched I Think I Love My Wife. It was a 13 hr flight. i almost vomitted at the sight of the airplane food, cuz it was BREAD again, and noodles. waited 3 hrs at Taipei before boarding the next plane. Watched Curse of the Golden Flower, but din manage to finish it. finally, 4 hrs later, home sweet home! and spore airport is really the nicest airport!

i really miss them now, but still email daily to michael. well, hopefully they'll come over next yr!

Day 1:
5 hrs on China Airlines! i din get window seat in the end, my sis stole it.. but China Airlines was good, they had loads of like downloaded CDs and movies! so i was listening to Gwen Stefani's The Sweet Escape on the plane.. i decided dat i loved her songs haha.. i managed to finish the entire CD! n den i watched 200 pounds beauty.. again xD.. n this show called Starter for 10. its a pretty weird show but oh wells.. n can u believe i ate bread for every meal! anw we reached taipei airport at night, arnd 8.. waited for the bus, embarrassed myself on the bus, n reached this Taoyuan hotel! its pretty okay i guess. i got a bed all to myself! my mom n sis shared the other bigger one.. heh.. den we went to see the night life! my mom started talking in her weird chinese accent again.. AGAIN. we ate fried chicken n soya beancurd.. den went to slp..


Day 2:
breakfast at the hotel kinda sucked. cuz we woke up late.. lunch was better though.. n den off we went to the airport again! bought this magnet thing as a souveneir, waited for 2 hrs, den set off to Seattle! it was the same facilities in this plane, so i listened to Ciara's CD, Fall Out Boy's CD, wang lihom's CD, a little of Beyonce n Missy Elliot n Jessica Simpson.. its so sad they dun hv jesse mccartney's CD.. den i watched this Shooter movie! it was a nice :D.. the plane's chair was quite uncomfortable though, so through the 12 hr flight i only slept like 1 hr? well we finally reached the airport.. grandpa got detained! his fingerprint wasnt clear or sth cuz too dry.. hahaha.. finally after like 1 hr we got our of there! met my uncle! 2nd time riding a Lexus.. haha, no luxury like that in spore! went to his hse, it was super big! n very cold, especially when the wind blows.. its 15 degrees i think.. my smart sis forgot to bring her jacket haha.. michael n megan are still kinda skinny n small.. i expected them to hv grown, but oh well. haha.. we played cards with them n sorta caught up a little.. den Nathan and Nicole came! nicole can talk now, n she's really cute.. well she sorta says random stuff all the time but still, CUTE :D so we played monopoly with them..

Day 3:
Went to the King's Country library! somehow the names here sound much cooler.. the library's really neat n clean.. n quiet.. so unlike spore libraries.. well i borrowed 3 books: the five people you meet in heaven, every woman for herself, Frankenstein! see im so hardworking, haha cuz i din buy frankenstein in spore so i cant do my lit hw.. so i hv to do it here! well u can find alot of books in Seattle's libraries.. unlike the library near my hse.. haha.. after dat, we went to Bellevue Square! see wad i said, the name sounds so cool! the shopping centre's so big! we ate this Cinnabon thing.. its really great! but expensive.. everything here is expensive.. somehow its like spore price just that u change the sign to US dollar.. i guess maybe ppl here earn more or sth, so its like normal to them.. den my mom went to try this shirt that looks nice.. she took size 8 n 10, tried, n it was too big! so i went out to take size 6, she tried, still too big! so there's only size 0 left.. she tried it, too small! so in the end she din buy.. haha.. saw this really cool art shop, but stuff there are yea, expensive.. in the end we bought Mrs Fields' cookies! 5 for $5..

Day 4:
Went to Michael n Megan's piano class to look.. my mom wants me to be inspired n work harder for piano but... sorta futile haha.. cuz michael's like a child prodigy or sth.. he plays at concerts n stuff.. well the class was really good, cuz its like a grp class n each person gets to perform for the class n 1 person is selected to comment on how the person can improve n stuff. yea so its aural n practical training all at once.. n the tcher has 3 grand pianos! so they could play like piano concertos together which is really cool.. he asked me to play a piece at the end but i couldn memorise my stuff, so well i missed this really good opportunity n im feeling guilty abt it.. haha.. after dat we went to Nathan n Nicole's hse.. told jokes on the way there.. its a pretty big hse as well, but smaller den michael's.. played pictionary again, nathan was like hyperventilating or sth.. haha.. but they're really funny.. den played monopoly again.. somehow they seem so interested in these games..
