stressed.......

Hello guys. I'm sorry for my tortoiselike publishing speed. hehe. Without noticing, school had started last Tuesday. Before school started, ACTS 140's professor, Paul Judd, had sent us an email telling us to read section 1.1 to 1.5. That was disaster as at that moment, I didn't even know where to get my textbook. Haha. Luckily, able to borrow it from my senior here. This is my second academic week. Have to study material everyday. If don't, I'll lose my way during class. Keep up keep up!!! I don't want to be left behind!! Stressed..........

My life in Des Moines


I've reached Des Moines since 8th of January. In here, I've got to know a lot of Americans here. They don't smoke, no alcoholic drink, and just like to hang out in friends' house. I really got to thank them because they have been driving us to Walmart, shopping malls here and showed us around. Have you guys heard of IHOP before? I heard it only when I came to Des Moines. It stands for International House Of Pancakes. The pictures here showed that we, a bunch of peoples, crowded the IHOP for our dinner. I had chosen the all-you-can-eat-pancakes for my dinner. Those were the first five pancakes I had since I have reached US. They were so thick and sticky when you put it in your mouth. I could only eat 7 pancakes in the end. There were two Americans, who each ate 22 pancakes and broke the IHOP record of the year. From the manager of IHOP, the greatest record of IHOP in Des Moines is 77 pieces in 3 to 4 hours. Unbelievable huh? Can you believe it?

My 1st new year party in Chicago


I'm so lucky to have a brother in Chicago. hehe. Just got here and able to attend New Year party in the states. I guess, not much people are that lucky right? Haha. Jealous? I've got to know some new friends during the part, mostly from Taiwan. They're so friendly and full of passion. We had delicious cuisine together and countdown from 5 seconds before first day of 2006 came and cheers with champagne which brought by Oscar. After everything, we decided to eat the two chocolate cakes. One's from my brother and the other one's from Charlie. In the end, each of us were just able to finish mostly one piece of the chocolate cake which's from my brother. The one on the right corner above. That was a cake really made of chocolate. Congratulations bro, your cake ruled!!! haha

get some clothing


This is it!!! The Premium Outlet. It's something like F.O.S in Malaysia where you can get lots of cheap stuff. In here, we can get Nike, Reebok, Adidas, C.K, Polo,.... etc, with erm... you may say low price if you earn USD and spend it here. For examples, a pair of Nike shoes, it's around USD 30++. If you convert it to RM, you might be saying that it's the same price but if you're earning money here, Nike shoes are considered the same level as Bata shoes in Malaysia. hehe. I've gotten some clothes, socks and a pair of basketball boots! Thanks bro!! Muaks.
