才回来了几天，已经开始想念在美国的朋友了。好笑吧？
可能，这里的朋友都走完了吧！而且，他们都有自己的生活了，我们之间，也有了距离。我想，有些朋友，只有你或她在需要彼此的时候，才会出现吧！这样，算是朋友吗？我也不知道。只知道，有点失望。
每个人看见的是我有机会出国读书的光彩，却没有人看得见我失去的是什么。也没有人愿意去了解。说了，人们只会说，你那么好命了，还抱怨什么呢？如果告诉他们，美国有什么好，他们都会羡慕，有些甚至会妒嫉，那何苦呢？有些时候，说了，只是纯粹想和他们分享，但，却会让人觉得是炫耀，那又何必说呢？
该回来吗？该永远呆在这儿吗？会快乐吗？
我也不懂我在写些什么。

Quite upset now. Too much things going on. I don't know how to fit that experiment into my abstract!! How can you combine two experiments into one abstract?! Especially they are consist of two different objectives? URGH!! I have been wasting my time on this stupid shit for the whole week. What am I doing in graduate school? FRUSTRATED!! No more Ph.D!

Once in a lifetime experience
What happened last Friday night?
Well, admit it, I was drunk. I have been stressing out these few weeks over the silent auction. Finally, we got it over with last Friday night. It was great. At least, it didn't turn out to be a huge disaster. With all the help from my friends and other committee members, we successfully raised $880!! Yohoooo!!! Even though it was less than what I expected, but, hey, it was a silent auction, not a live one, so, it is still good enough.
We went to Club-e after the auction and started dancing and drinking. They have this deal where you can get a pitcher of most drinks for $4, so, I bought 2 pitcher of Long Island ice tea with less ice and more alcohol requested. Most of my friends were not drinking because some of them were sick and some of them were driving, so, Nat and I pretty much finished two pitcher by ourselves. Fun, right? Yeah, it was fun drinking but the after effect was not fun. I was so happy and I didn't watch how much I drank, and by the time I realized it, it was too late. I was pretty much high and started talking a lot. I danced with a 21 years old, took the cigar out of my friend's hand and started smoking it, and stared at the guy who approached me and asked me to dance. Yeah, fun! It was hilarious though. Jose kept laughing at me the whole time. Yeah, he had a great time watching me drunk.
Afterall, I pretty much know what I was doing the whole time. I was more dare to do things that I usually won't, but I had fun. I didn't do anything that I regretted so far except dancing with that 21 years old guy. Yet, I wont let this happen again, cause you never know what is going to happen the next time.

Thanksgiving..
**Updated: Nov 26, 12.04am
Just came back from Cheryll's house. She invited CL, Nat, Jose, SL and me over to her place for thanksgiving dinner. Nat brought her brother, D with her and CL brought KY to the dinner. It was a lot of fun. Cheryll prepared the turkey and we prepared the rest of the meal. It was fun cooking in her kitchen and messing around. I can't believe I could spend more than 12 hours in somebodyelse's house, especially someone who I respected so much without getting myself into troubles. I am always afraid that I might say something wrong or did something bad, but this time, I think I did fine. Best of all, I was being myself.
We had a really great time. SL and R left early and then the rest of us, we just hang out and play games. We played the same games for more than 4 hours! Amazing, huh?! None of us felt like leaving but Cheryll was too tired, so, we decided to leave. Sigh.... I haven't been laughing so hard for a long long time. I can't even recall the last time I had so much fun and laughed so hard. We played the game called "Catch a phrase". It was something like taboo but there is no limitations on how you describe the word. So, we pretty much came up with anything. I even guessed "chicken" while KY was giving the hint that this thing could fly. -.-" It became the joke of the night. CL also used many different funny hand gestures that no one could understand her and it just cracks us up. It was funny to see how others mind work. Some of us try to make it simple, some of us make it much more complicated. It was fun and it also make you realize how little you know about things around us. I gave them the hint that Milan is the capital of France, and I said that New York is the capital of US. -.-" Quite stupid, huh? Just realized that I really need to read more about current events, geography and also histories. What a frog under the well!
We were having so much fun and Cheryll asked us to come back again when we have time. Unfortunately, none of us is going to be here for Christmas. If not, we could have done another Christmas dinner. Hehehe...
Will post some pictures tomorrow. Gotta go to bed now..tomorrow need to wake up early and go shopping!
Happy Belated Thanksgiving y'all!
CL, Nat and me with Cheryll's Turkey.
That's what our tummy look like after the dinner.

The day before Thanksgiving, we have another Thanksgiving dinner in CL's house. Yeah, speaking about gaining weight!

Urgh!!!!
I cracked my cell phone!! Darn it!! Now I have to get a new one!! So stupid and careless!! I thought that I can save some money and only get a new one next year when the contract expired, but now, I don't think I could wait till then. The flip screen is barely hanging on, shaky and can't even stay open nor close. Sigh...what have I done?
I checked on ebay and planned to get a used one, it cost at least 100bucks for my phone!! Can you believe it? I bought it for around 80 bucks a year and a half ago, and now it cost like 100bucks? What's up with people? Technology become more advance but people just like the old stuff? Weirdos..just like me. If I ask the insurance company to send me a new one, it will cost me at least 50bucks anyway, and they might not send me the exact same one. Besides, they are not picking up my calls. So, what should I do? Buy a new one from ebay? Kept bugging the insurance company? Or go to radioshack and get a new one? Man..my wallet is getting skinnier day by day. Seems like there are neverending incidents that need money. My car, my phone, my dental, my eyes...man..life sucks without Mooolaa...
Getting a husband with a bunch of Mooolaaa soon..

Let It Snow!!
Let it snow! Let it snow!
Wahahahahaha...is snowing!! I can't believe it!! It was like 70s to 80s last week and now it is snowing!!! It started snowing since this morning around 11am. I was so excited when I looked out the window and saw the rain turned into snow flakes! It was...just GREAT!! I was so happy and while I was walking towards MU, I was actually jumping and dancing in the snow. L thought that I looked like a crazy people so she decided to ignore me and left me walking by myself behind her. Anyway, I had so much fun walking in the snow. I bought a cup of chai latte and walked around the campus after that. Sounds stupid, right? Well, as long as stupid thing does make you happy, no harm doing it, rite?
This year, we have an early snow though. I still remember the first year I was here, it snow at December 12th. This year, is kinda early. The weather report said that the snow should be a few inches high. While I was walking back from school around 7.15pm, it was already few inches high and it was still snowing at that time. I left my footprint behind..in the snow. So much fun!
The snow always tells me that Christmas is near, Christmas is near. I always find serenity during Christmas, or I should say, winterbreak. The musics and songs from the radio, just makes me feel so peaceful. I am counting down...

The Right Person
I was watching "What I Like About You" that day and something really meaningful came across and I think I should share with my friends.
Most of the time when we are hurt by love, we become scare and weren't brave enough to love again. Yes, love does bite and it does hurt when it bites. It hurts when our love one left us behind. However, we have to always keep in mind that the right person will always stay. So, what about those wrong person who left? Should we hate them? No, we should be grateful that they left because if they don't leave, the right person wouldn't have a chance to come along, wouldn't they? Besides, you must've learned something from the wrong person too, right? That also helps you to improve yourself or understand yourself even better and then only you will learn who are the right person that you are really looking for and be prepared for it when you meet him/her.

STOP!
Stop,
stop telling me what to do,
stop telling me how to live my life,
stop telling me who I should love,
stop telling me who I shouldn't love,
stop telling me who I should forget,
stop telling me who I shouldn't forgive,
stop telling me how to react,
stop telling me how to respond,
stop telling me I should learn to fake,
stop telling me I should get a PhD,
stop telling me I should graduate,
stop telling me I should go back,
stop telling me anything!
I do what I wanted to do.
I say what I wanted to say.
I see what I wanted to see.
I read what I wanted to read.
I listen what I wanted to listen.
I think what I wanted to think.
I write what I wanted to write.
I decide what I wanted to decide.
That's me, and my life. It's mine. I chose to face it with my heart, my instinct and my gut feeling. I might be wrong sometimes, I might get myself hurt sometimes, I might get myself into trouble sometimes, but yet, this is my life I am living, not yours nor his nor hers. I am happy because I am being honest to myself and I am living my own life with no regrets. I will take full responsibility on whatever decision I made, not you made. I will listen to you if I wanted to, but don't expect me to do whatever you said.
Yeah, that's me. Like it or not, it's up to you! I am not listening anymore. Judge me however you want, I don't care.

YEAH!!!! ISU ROCK!!!!
30 - 16!!!! We won the game!!! ISU ROCK!!!!! Colorado, we kicked your ass!!!!
Just came back from the game. We are lucky that it wasn't raining at all. The weather turned nice after the game started. The sky was dark and the thunder was rumbling before the game start. Tornado warning was issued till 7.45pm for our county. The game was postponed to 6.40pm instead of the scheduled 6pm. Even though it wasn't raining, the wind was pretty strong. When the game first started, the wind was about 45mph. It was great for ISU because it was blowing toward our direction.
Anyway, I think ISU was lucky. Our offense sucks actually. Not much first down was made throughout the game. We have 3 touchdowns and 3 field goals. 2 of the touchdowns were scored due to luck. One of them was scored from fumble and the other one was from interception. It was funny when the football player picked up the ball or caught the ball. He seemed like he was in shock and did not believe that he got the ball. Then only he realized it and started running. It was so much fun cheering and yelling especially the last touchdown, which was made in the last 2 minutes of the game. I was jumping and yelling while he was running for the touchdown. Everyone got so excited and jumping up on the chair and giving each other double high 5. I think I am going to lose my voice tomorrow. It's worth it though, my last football game in ISU. I felt so alive while I was booing the referee and cheering for our team. I had so much fun!
KY and I took this picture after the game. We both bought the ISU football mug as souvenior for our last game.

We went down to the field to take this picture. It was cold....
Look at the score board, Cyclone: 30, Buffaloes: 16. Lalala...I am so happy now. Hope we can win our last game in Kansas. Let's pray for miracle. :)
Thursday, November 10
Got the ticket for the game this weekend. Last football game for this season. Or, should say last home game for this season. At first, I thought that it is at noon, which the weather should be still fine to watch a game. Unfortunately, I just found out that it is at 6pm!! *speechless*
That's the typical me who is always so blur. I didn't check the time of the game before I said yes to my friend. Now...I can only pray for a good weather. It was suppose to be sunny this Saturday, but I checked it again few minutes ago, it said, "PM Showers". Nice... Not only the cold, we still have to deal with the rain now. This sounds...fun. Well, anyway, this is the last football game I am gonna watch, I guess. Next year, hopefully, I wont be here anymore. :)
I was talking to Nat and Toshi that day after Nat's oral prelim. I am so glad that they both passed their prelim. They were trying to talk me into doing my PhD. I told them that I am not gonna do my PhD. after seeing what they've been through. I guess the main reason I am not going to do my PhD now is that I don't think I am ready. It took a lot of patient and self discipline to be able to make it through. Right now, I don't think I have enough of either of these. Besides, most of my friends, especially international student who got the PhD without any working experiences are having a hard time getting a job. So, why torture myself then? I also told Nat that if I can't find a job, then I might go back for PhD, and she replied, "I hope you don't get a job then." What a friend! -.-"
I have been eating snake today the whole day. Slept till 9.30am (the most sleep I got in these 2 weeks), woke up, walking around, web surfing and relaxing. I didn't go to office or lab. I was driving around the town looking for car mechanics and auto body shop. Trying to get my car fix. I went to Sears to get oil change for my car. It had been more than 5 months since I did the last oil change and the mileage is way passed the 3000miles I supposed to change it. What a lazy bum I am! Hopefully, I could get everything fix for my car before graduation.
Ok, have to put my Hagen Daaz rum raisin ice cream back to the fridge before I finish the whole pint.
Will post some Halloween pictures up soon..

Ouch!
I felt awful!!! I wish I could turn back time and undo what I did today. Gosh...
I went to Target today and I ran into this guy, Johnny, who I danced with in Club-e that Saturday night. He was a cashier in Target. I knew he worked in Target but I never thought that I would actually ran into him. I wasn't prepared at all when I saw him. I was in shock. So, what did I do??!! I pretended that I did not know him!! Shit!! That was very very rude! He was a nice guy and he doesn't deserve to be treated that way. Sigh...what have I done??!!
All because of the PMS!! If not, I wouldn't have filled my arms with cookiesss, snackss and cakess. Then, I would have seen that guy at the cashier before I throw all my junks on the belt. Then, I might have avoided him or think twice before I did something stupid and awful like this. Wish I could turn back time..

秋夜的感觸
在冰冷的秋夜, 獨自感受著一杯熱騰騰的奶茶, 透過手心傳來的辛福, 享受著那片刻的平淡和寧靜. 人生, 應該就那麼簡單. 辛福, 也就那麼簡單, 是人類的貪念把它复雜化而已.
找個夜晚, 獨自坐下來, 想想你這一生最想要的是甚麼, 甚麼東西最能滿足你精神上的需求, 別去在乎別人的想法, 別考虙物質上的需求, 就自私點, 把自己放在前方, 想一想, 你想要的是甚麼? 我們, 就只活那麼一次, 好好地珍惜吧!
最近, 雖然很多事情都不太順利, 但, 我卻過得很開心. 我是不是瘋了? 平時, 當事情不順的時候, 我都會很沮喪, 很難過, 很煩, 很燥, 但, 最近, 卻一反常態, 為它們煩了一會兒, 便不再為它們而煩. 下班後, 就甚麼都不去想, 開開心心地過著日子. 哎, 不知是好還是不好呢? 這樣下去, 恐怕下學期都畢不了業. 該努力點了! 加油! 努力 = 為它們而煩嗎? 希望不是如此吧!
明天, 就是我們提前慶祝的萬聖節節慶了. 今年, 我決定扮成學生. 別擔心, 我不會扮成妖艷的那一種, 我會選擇可愛的那一種. 妖艷的那一種, 太恐怖了吧! 我怕別人看見了都會嚇死, 還是不要危害社會和別人的生命. 造一造福, 積點德, 好讓下輩子好過點.
幫我禱告吧, 祈禱我的實驗可以進行得順利點, 不然, 唉, 甚麼時侯才能畢業呢?

老鼠不再愛大米
<老鼠不再愛大米>
歌手 : 陳藝鵬
你离开之后 我要自己走
放开手不回头 窗外的云不停留
雨季快来到 梦被吹着走
我的爱你不懂 爱情就象个黑洞
痛过之后要学会照顾自己
过去的忘记了 不再为你费心机
昏暗的路灯显得很孤寂
不要紧没关系 我要好好活下去
该忘记的忘记都当成回忆
说好了不哭泣 滑落泪水慢慢滴
有那么一天我已经失忆
就象老鼠忘了自己 曾经爱大米

天啊！怎麼那麼巧？連我也不敢相信！！
弟弟剛問我有聽過這首歌嗎，所以，我就去下載來聽。還不錯。
經常來我的布落格的人，也許都知道我為何說那麼巧了吧？！邊聽著這首歌，我的嘴角，不自禁地微笑了起來，真的，怎麼那麼巧？
也許，有人在偷偷地仰慕我而為我寫這首歌呢！嘿嘿嘿。。。如果是的話，改一改歌詞吧！哪有淚水啊？哈哈哈。。。聽著這首歌，我無法阻止我的嘴角往上揚。哈！雨過，天也晴了。我，看見了彩虹。
趁 此機會，我想好好感謝一路陪著我的家人和朋友們。沒有了你們，這段日子，恐怕我已熬不過來了。我想，我不需要把你們的名字都寫出來，你們都知道我說的是你 們了吧！謝謝你們為我所做的一切或想為我做的一切，我會永遠銘記在心！大家！能夠認識你們，能夠成為你們的朋友/家人，是我前生修來的福，我會好好珍惜 的！希望我前世修的福份，足以讓我和你們成為一生的朋友。待小妹找到了工之後，請你們吃一餐好的吧！(雖然，我明白這一餐怎麼都比不上你們所為我做的一 切)
English:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of my family and friends who have always be with me and stand by me during this period of time. Without you guys, I can't imagine how I could survive through this hard time. Thanks..a lot! I really appreciated what you guys have done for me or offered to do for me, I will always remember that! Being able to know you guys, is one of the best things that ever happened in my life. I will always treasure the friendship and love we shared. Friends...FOREVER! I promise that whenever I got a real job, I will buy you guys a great dinner! :)

你离开之后 我要自己走
放开手不回头 窗外的云不停留
雨季快来到 梦被吹着走
我的爱你不懂 爱情就象个黑洞
痛过之后要学会照顾自己

昏暗的路灯显得很孤寂
不要紧没关系 我要好好活下去

Hello..my friend
Surprise!! Surprise!!
I got a surprise email today. Well, actually, not today. He sent me that email at the 18th of Oct and I haven't checked my lycos mail for more than a month and that's why I haven't seen it. Hehehe..what so surprise about this email? I lost touch with this friend few months after I came here and I was actually thinking about him few days ago while I was telling my mum that I wanted to visit Sabah or Sarawak when I go home this winter. And now, he sent me an email with his cell phone number in it and..I guess, I could call him now. Hehehehe...
Well, clue you in, he is one of those guys who makes your heart beat goes fast, your tongue tangle and you started smiling without noticing that you are doing it when you see him.
What a good news after a long day of talking to those industry people and faking all the smiles and laugh. Job hunting...not fun!

Random diary
Homecoming weekend! Yeah...but, I did nothing. Didn't go to watch the football game, thought that we are gonna lose. Damn, man! Should've gone there. We won our first Big 12 game. Hmm..got sales in UBS this Monday then.
Went down to Welch Ave yesterday night. It was crowded and very happening. Some of the ISU band people brought their instrument and was playing on the street. It was so much fun to watch. There are also two Hummer limo driving around Welch Ave. Those people..wasting gas. We sat there and ate our Gyros. We were actually planning to go to Club-e but ended up watching Erin Borkovich at home. Too tired. Anyway, CL made a super strong Irish coffee for Nat and me, hmm..that's more than enough for a night. It was a long day. I woke up at 6.30am, and went to bed at 5.00am. Hehehe...Haven't done that for a long long time..
Woke up at 11am this morning. So tired. Went back to work again. So much to do, so little time, but still so lazy. No cure for me. Need a kick in my ass to kick away all those lazy worms.
At night, went to watch North Country with CL and Nat. It was a great movie. Some part of the movie is very touching, I cried a lot. Remember to bring some tissue if you are planning to watch that movie. Those men in the movie are very disgusting. I am glad that I was not born at that time.
I figure I should blog once in a while in case my friend started wondering where I have been. Now, I think, I should really go to bed. No more 5am sleeping..hehe...
Thesis..thesis...hope I can dream out a thesis..
Getting a laptop soon...hopefully..that will speed up my thesis writing.
Nite..everyone.

Fall Festival in Deal's Orchard
CL, KY and I went to a Fall Festival in Deal's Orchard yesterday. The weather was really nice and it makes me feel like I am in heaven. The serenity..hehehehe..KY wanted to puke when I used that word to describe it.
The festival was not very big. They have some tent selling kettle corn, caramel apple and some other food. Then they have a small petting zoo, hay ride, straw maze, rope making, pony ride and pumpkin ring throwing. Those games are mostly targeted for kids. They pony ride, the weight that they allow is below 80lbs, I am way way way over, so, no pony ride for me.
Here are some pictures from the festival.
The pumpkin field. Lotta pumpkinssss...
KY, Me and CL on a ......(I really have no idea what that carriage call).
We conquer the straw maze...
Then..we picked all those pumpkins...Hiew...what a great workout!
Oooppsss...I thought I saw EY there...my bad.

Interview
I went for an interview with Blue Bunny today. Hmm...it was a very tough one. Got me thinking.
They asked me a lot of questions and I really don't have answers for them. It wasn't any technical question, it was more like personality questions. They also asked me a lot of questions about why I wanted to do this, why I did that, why I chose this etc etc... Those questions were like bringing me down to my memory lane and forced me to face the decisions that I made and also think about why I did it.
After the interview, thinking about all those questions and answers, I felt really old. I felt like I have been by myself in this foreign country for a long long time. They asked me things from why I chose here and this major to what is my future plan and what I wanted to be remember as after I retired. It brought me all the way back from the day I graduated from high school to what I want right now. It really got me thinking.
What I want right now? A job.

I Am Lucky!
For some reason, I felt really lucky. I am the luckiest gal in this world! Yohooo!!!
God took him away from me is for my own good. He is not good enough for me anyway. How lucky I am that he broke up with me?! That way, I wont be the one who regret for making that decision. Besides, god help me to see who he really is and I deserve someone better. Am I lucky or what? :)
Life is getting better..and better..
This is a quote Marco gave me, which I really like it. I am gonna share it with all my friends:
"不要為作惡的心懷不平，也不要嫉妒惡人；因為，惡人終不得善報；惡人的燈也必熄滅。"(舊約聖經--箴言24:19-20)
Anyway, Happy Birthday, Erik! Even though you don't like your birthday, for some reason we don't know, but, still, Happy Birthday!

What's Up with the Hooters's Shirt?
I saw a couple of guys wearing Hooters's shirt around the campus. It felt so weird. Ok, first of all, to all those who don't really know what Hooters (www.hooters.com) are, they are a restaurant with big boobs waitress who wore shorts and singlet to serve food. It is kinda a place where only guys(who has some other intention) go there, usually middle aged man.
I don't understand why guys would like to wear the hooters shirt. It makes them look desperate and shallow. So, you went to Hooters. Ok, you like big boobs. Do you really have to tell the whole world about it? Are you proud about that? You think you look cool cause you went to Hooters before? Jeez...think twice before you wore it. You probably wont get any gals if you wear it to the bar.

回家
終於, 終於, 我要回家了! 向老闆請了假, 今年年尾, 我要回家了! 很開心! 兩年沒回家了, 好想家. 朋友們, 你們還好嗎? 我要回來囉!
昨天, 把這消息告訴了爸媽, 他們聽了都很開心. 也許, 我真的是太久沒回家了吧! 慚愧, 慚愧! 爸媽要姐也回去, 難得一家團圓嘛! 唉! 好想家!
該留下來嗎? 還是畢業後就回去呢? 流蕩夠了嗎? 是時候回家了嗎? 我也不知道. 算了吧! 別想那麼多了! 船到橋頭自然直.
無論如何, 如果決定了要離開, 我一定會去歐洲遊玩了才回去. 所以, 現在最主要的是儲夠錢才決定吧!
馬來西亞, 還有兩個月, 我就要回來了! 等我吧!

Wake Me Up When September Ends
Here's the picture of the new skirt. I wore it today to Cheryll's birthday dinner. She was surprised to see me wearing skirts and also shirts without any writing on top. Hehehe..I have too much funky shirts. I have shirts that read "World's Greatest Trouble Maker", "Just Do It Later", "Excuse me, Do I Look Like Someone Who Cares?" etc..etc..Hehehe..Cool shirt, right? I just love this kind of shirts. Most of them are gifts from my sister and friends.I had so much fun tonight, catching up with Costa Rica's friends, joking with each other and just hanging out. I miss them so much! I am myself most of the time when I hang out with them. It feels great.
I went to ice skate again today. I fell. Now I have a bump on my knee. It hurts so badly. :( Ok, no whinning. I deserved it cause I am the one who like this kind of sport. Now I can skate backward very gracefully, so, it's a trade off, I guess.
What a great weekend!!
I set a target for myself. I will start my literature review next month. Oct 1st, next Saturday. It is time to do what I am supposed to do now. September is ending soon..
Summer has come and passed..
The innocent can never last..
Wake me up when September ends..
(From Green Day's Wake me up when September Ends lyric)
Yeah, innocent can never last

Shop Shop Shop!
Yeah!! I got my skirt!! I have been looking for this skirt since I saw my friend wore it the last time I visited her in Boston. It was out of stock from Victoria Secret. Finally, I found it on ebay!! It was a size 2 but, I managed to fit in!! Yeah!! I thought it would be too big but, it fits!! Just a little lower, I guess. In case you haven't notice, shopping is one of my hobbies as well. :P Shopping is actually good for your health. Imagine, you walked around the shopping mall looking for stuff, you are actually exercising. When you see something you like, your heart started to pump so fast and your heart rate increased, you might rush to it or get really excited, that would burn more calories as well. See, girls who shop actually lose more weight than girls who don't. So, if you want your girlfriend to stay fit, bring her to shopping mall more often. Besides, if she shop more often, she will notice it when she gained weight cause her cloth size went up, then, she will try to do more exercise to maintain in shape. Hehehe...
I hope the weather wont turn too cold that soon..so that I could wear it. I think I am gonna wear it this Sunday to Cheryll's birthday party. Perfecto!!
Now, waiting for my lovely ice skate to arrive. Hopefully, soon..

Random Rambling
Finally, fall begins. The weather was still very hot yesterday, even at night. Tonight, it is cold. Nice! I can't wait to see the first snow. I can't wait to skate on the frozen lake. :)
Another hurricane is coming. I hope everyone evacuated beofre the hurricane hits them. God bless them.
I went to Food Science Club meeting this Tuesday, and guess what I did? I volunteered myself and CL to organize the silent auction. Now, I regret. Seems like there are so much to do and so little manpower available. I am getting frustrated and hate myself for doing it now. I kept remind myself now that this is for charity so that I wont give up on it. Stupid me!
Gotta sleep early tonight. For some reason, I looked and felt tired these few days. I had enough sleep but yet, I felt tired and always woke up with mild headache. What's wrong with me? Should have taken more classes, I felt a little bit lost recently because I am too free. Weird, huh? Yeah, I am that weird.
It is going to rain this weekend. No rollerblading? Sigh... :(
Wish me good luck tomorrow!

ARGH!!!!
I went to Borders today with CL, and an old man hit on me!! I am so pissed!!
At first, I met the old man when I was buying my latte. He was in front of me and was trying to get a cup of tea. I was holding books and one of them is Bill Clinton's biography. He started talking to me and ask me about the book. I was trying to be polite so I replied him. He borrowed the book to see how many pages are there. Ok, fine. Then he ran out of things to ask me and I was trying to make my order, so, he left.
Then after I got my coffee, I went to sit by CL. It just so happen that he was sitting on the table next to us. Luckily, he was sitting at CL's side, not beside me. After awhile, he tried to talk to me again. I didn't suspect anything so I replied him politely, again. He asked about the book again and he told me that his eyes are tired and stuff like that. I just smiled and tried not to continue the conversation because he started to give me this creepy feeling. I pretend to read my book everytime after I answered his question. He still didn't take the hint!! He kept asking me question like, is the book the NY Times Bestseller and stuff. So, I told him is the national bestseller then I tossed him one of the book that I took which is the NY Times Bestseller. I then pretend to read again. He flipped through the book and few minutes later he returned me the book. I tried to be nice and smile at him again. Then, he went and refill his tea and sat back beside me. I can't concentrate after that. I was checking on his ring finger to see if he is married, and he is not!! He is just so damn CREEPY!! He then got a magazine and while he was flipping through the magazine, he occasionally looked at me. I decided to leave but I can't leave while he is there. I afraid that when he sees us leaving, he might also leave and follow us. After a while, he went to get another refill of his tea again. Then, he placed his cup on the seat that is opposite of where he was sitting. So, if he sits down, he is gonna be next to me. He started moving the chair that is next to me. Luckily, he went to look for magazines again. At that second, I told CL, "Pack now and leave" I picked up those books that I took and walked back to the shelves trying to put them back without him noticed me. CL told me that he walked back to the table and sees that CL is leaving, he then came and looked for me. I still have the last book in my hand which I have to put it back to where he was pretending to look for a book(opposite where I was standing). I pretend talking to CL to wait till he leave the place, but he walked to me!! He tried to start up a conversation again asking me about how is the book, again!! I politely replied him and then I just turned and walk away, without saying goodbye nor anything. Silly man! If I said goodbye to him, he might go on with something crazier!! I was so worried that he might follow us. Luckily, we leave him no chance to do that.
Dude!! You are 40 years old, with a stupid beard on top of your lip and dress like a stupid Texan (they are not smart cause they support Bush). What in the hell makes you think that I would be interested in you??!! Go Fxxk Yourself! You Fxxking Creepy IDIOT!!

Just Blogging..
It's 1.15am in the midnight and I am snacking!! Placing food near your computer is a mistake. Is a right "path" to get fat, but not the right path to the healthy lifestyle. Luckily, I am snacking on cereals, that, makes me feel a little better (trying to lie to myself).
Well, my BMI is actually on the edge of becoming underweight. Funny, huh?! Yeah, I thought so too. You can see a piece of meat sticking out from my tummy, that means that I have fat, but yet, my BMI is 18.6, which, is 0.1 above underweight. Anyway, BMI doesn't tell much about our health status. I don't buy the BMI thingy too much, I would suggest you to go see a doctor and get your annual checkup, that's the right thing to do.
Went to watch Skeleton Key with CL. I thought that it is a scary movie with ghost and those supernatural stuff, but it turns out not quite like what I expected. I personally would rate this movie B, no no no, B+, for having Kate Hudson in the movie. :) It is a nice movie though. It got me thinking. The message I got from the movie is that, when you want to know something, please, know it all. Knowing a little bit is not going to help you, it might cost you your life.
Speaking of supernatural, there is a new show "Supernatural" on WB channel now. Tuesday night right after Gilmore Girl. I watched a little bit since it was right after Gilmore Girl, it was quite an interesting movie. There is a cute guy in there, the guy from Smallville. I don't think I am going to watch it again cause it was kinda creepy, which is going to give me nightmare everytime I watch those kind of movie. But if you are those who doesn't believe in these kinda stuff, it might be a nice show for you guys.
I took the quiz that I saw from my friend's website last night. It turns out that I got all the same answers like my friend for both the "How are you in love?" and "Your Hidden Talent" part. Weird, huh?
Oh...so feel like curling my hair.

I personally would rate this movie B, no no no, B+, for having Kate Hudson in the movie. :) It is a nice movie though. It got me thinking. The message I got from the movie is that, when you want to know something, please, know it all. Knowing a little bit is not going to help you, it might cost you your life.
Speaking of supernatural, there is a new show "Supernatural" on WB channel now. Tuesday night right after Gilmore Girl. I watched a little bit since it was right after Gilmore Girl, it was quite an interesting movie. There is a cute guy in there, the guy from Smallville. I don't think I am going to watch it again cause it was kinda creepy, which is going to give me nightmare everytime I watch those kind of movie. But if you are those who doesn't believe in these kinda stuff, it might be a nice show for you guys.
I took the quiz that I saw from my friend's website last night. It turns out that I got all the same answers like my friend for both the "How are you in love?" and "Your Hidden Talent" part. Weird, huh?
Oh...so feel like curling my hair.

撒嬌
有時候，在發生了不開心的事之後，能向一個關心你的人撒嬌，會令你好過得多．那個人，不需要是家人，因為家人多數會太過擔心，或會想辦法和告訴你應該怎麼 做，令你沒法子痛快地難過一番．我始終相信，人到了最傷心的時候，或者說，到了極點或谷底，便會反彈，便會重新站立，然後振作起來．
所以，如果有個朋友向你哭訴，讓她哭吧！哭過了，便會沒事了．如果有個朋友向你撒嬌，讓她去吧！也許，你是在幫她紓解心中的不快，所以，何樂而不為呢？
能夠撒嬌，是一種福氣．
能有人願意讓你撒嬌，是前世修來的福分．
好好珍惜吧！

防備
CL常說，我是個戒備心很強的人，是嗎？她說，只要我察覺有人想接近我一點，我就會毫不給人機會地防備了起來，是嗎？似乎很像．
今天，破例了．中午和一個印度朋友，P，去溜冰后，她邀我上她家喝杯茶，我去了．本來，我也是一如往常地拒絕了她，因為，我從來都不想和別人太接近，但， 她非常地有誠意，所以，我去了．她煮了非常好喝的奶茶給我喝．她說，這茶其實很像市場上賣的 Chai 茶．回來後，我拿了姐留下來的 Chai 茶的粉，沖了一杯來喝，還蠻不錯的，但沒 P 弄的那麼好喝．下次得叫她教我了．記得她在茶中放了一些香料，印度香料，得問問她．
原來，放下防備之心並不是那麼地難，也沒甚麼不好．就像今天，如果我完全拒絕了P，那我也許永遠都不會知道原來 Chai 茶是那麼地好喝．此外，當我們提高防備心的時候，難免會把別人毫無惡意的小錯誤用放大鏡把它夸大而與他們發生爭執，傷害了對方，繼而反目成仇，令所有人都 為難和不開心．還好，P大人有大量，不然，我想我倆現在恐怕是仇人而不是朋友了．
改變，是好的．降低防備之心，也許也是好的吧！

还记得年少时的梦吗 像朵永远不调零的花
陪我经过那风吹雨打 看世事无常 看沧桑变化
那些为爱所付出的代价 是永远都难忘的啊
所有真心的痴心的话 永在我心中 虽然已没有他
走吧 走吧 人总要学着自己长大
走吧 走吧 人生难免经历苦痛挣扎
走吧 走吧 为自己的心找一个家
也曾伤心流泪 也曾黯然心碎
这是愛的代價
也许我偶尔还是会想他 偶尔难免会惦记着他
就当他是个老朋友啊 也让我心疼也让我牵挂
只是我心中不再有火花 让往事都随风去吧
所有真心的痴心的话 仍在我心中 虽然已没有他
這首歌, 寫實了我現在的心情.
現在的我, 抱著一點點的期待, 和一點點的冒險心態, 享受著遺忘已久了的單身生活. 那種可以偷偷地喜歡一個人, 光明正大地追求一個人的遊戲, 好期待...
外面的煙花和爆竹聲, 鼓舞著我心中那貪玩的小火花, 是的, 是時候好好讓他燃燒了.
單身日記, 讓我好好發揮吧!

Sin
Everyday is a little surprise, good or bad, depends on how you take it.
Tomorrow is the game between Iowa and Iowa State. Welch avenue is flooded with college kids, all planning to get drunk tonight. How many one night stand would happen tonight? How many STD will be transferred tonight? How many woman will be rape tonight after they got drunk? How many accident will happen tonight from those drunk driver? I saw one right across my apartment. What a stupid night filled with sins.
Still don't understand the purpose of getting drunk. Hangover is really not fun. I guess Ames is just too boring and people are too lonely.
I see lonely people walking on the street. Hope the drinking does help to cope your loneliness, at least for tonight.
Let's pray that Iowa State win tomorrow. :)
Nite, lonely people.

Emily
Emily cried today. Surprise?? Somewhat. Feel sorry for her? NO! Not at all. :) Feel mad? Yeah. She had been in grad school for more than a year. Last Thursday was the only day that she needs to stay late because she couldn't get done with her research, she starts to whine. Why did she cry? Cause she thought that she is the only person who has to work late and her experiment is too complicated for her. Come on, we work weekends and sometimes even work till 1am and we never complained! Our experiment is more complicated and more time consuming than hers! What is her problem? Acting like a baby. She shouldn't have started graduate school in the first place.
I had have enough of her. Right now, whenever I see her, I just say hi. I never even wanted to ask her how she is doing cause she never had a good day. Everyday to her is a living hell, I guess. Whenever she starts complain, any comfort words wont help nor stop her. Oh well, that's her. I learned to ignore her now. I walked into the office, if she starts saying I am tired, I will just smile back, and if she still didn't take the hint and keep going with words like "Crazy things" or "Complicated" I will just walk out, without replying her. I know, I am mean. But there is just so much you could take in one day. Everyone has their own problem, you just have to learn to deal with your own problem. You can't have a breakdown every single day over every single little things! I am not your stress dumping trashcan either! Learn to deal with your stress!
I guess, if she still doesn't want to learn to deal with her stress, her life will be more miserable, but I don't care, just like I don't care letting her know that I don't like her. Hahaha...I am EVIL.

Giving In
Sometimes, giving in makes you feel good. Besides, that makes everybody happy as well. I learned another lesson. I have a better control of my temper now.
退一步，海闊天空。
Nite, everyone.

......
今晚, 很想寫些東西.
今天, 是美國的勞動節, 所以, 我們有了一個很長的週末.
早上, 和CL還有Mabel去溜冰. 唉, 還是不能倒後溜, 好慚愧. 繼續加油! 很想學會了溜冰, 然後, 等明年Minnesota的湖結冰時, 就可以在湖上溜冰, 那種滋味, 應該還不錯吧!
昨天, 去了Ada Hayden公園玩直排輪. 還是很害怕, 還是不會停. 目標嘛...只是想從家滑到我的辦公室而已. 還得多多努力. 我們發現那兒有人出租Canoe, 一個小時十塊錢美元. 下個星期去玩玩吧!
發現到, 我變了. 我變回了以前的我, 愛動, 愛跑, 愛跳, 愛玩. 很喜歡現在的我. 很開心.
人生好精采. 這個週末過得很不錯.
天氣還是很熱, 甚麼時候轉涼呢?
在找著一雙便宜用過的溜冰鞋, 祝我好運吧!
噢! 忘了, KS, 生日快樂! :)

隨性流浪的文字
網路又出了問題了. 好煩. 好幾天不能上網了, 好無聊. 每天都往秋琳家跑, 她看我看不厭, 我看自己也看厭了. 唉…沒法子, 家里太無聊了.
我決定和秋琳家一起和煮了. 所以呢, 大家, 拭目以待吧. 我肯定會肥了. 唉…算了吧. 就多做一點運動吧! 嘿嘿…說說而已, 別當真哦!
雖然開學了, 但我沒拿太多課, 所以才會那麼無聊. 況且, 我拿的課, 都是些踢踏舞, 溜冰之類的, 都沒甚麼好忙的. 其實, 我也該努力點了, 是時候開始寫我的論文了. 老天啊! 百多頁的論文怎麼寫呢? 不如你寫給我, 然后從上天拋下來, 敲到我的頭也無所謂, 只要能讓我畢業, 不用嘔出那篇論文, 我就甚麼也不和你計較了, 怎麼樣?
今天和老K, Marco 還有秋琳一家人去吃自助餐, 好漲啊! 很飽, 令我想起 一句話, “飽食終日, 無所事事, 難哀哉!” 很符合我現在的狀況. 很快樂, 好久沒和他們一塊兒出去吃飯聊天了. 我們一群人, 邊吃飯, 邊聊天, 還猜一些腦筋急轉彎的問題, 有說有笑地, 很開心. 發現到, 原來星期天去吃 King Buffet, 人特別少, 所以, 螃蟹也特別多. 下次, 就選星期天去吧.
最近, 迷上了 Air Supply 的歌. 好浪漫. 可惜, 很多都很難下載到 (我是說非法下載那種). 再找吧!
剛才和他們聊起中學時學的文言文, 也許, 我該去拿一拿中文301 吧! 學一學文言文, 然後再和你們子曰一番. 嗯…可以考虙一下.
好啦, 晚安了, 個位.

Happy
I am really happy today. Too many good things happening around me.
First, need to say CONGRATULATIONS to my dearest friend. She got pregnant!! YEAH!! I am so so so so happy for her. I almost shout (I think I did) when she told me the news. Everyone, please help me to pray for her. God, please bless her and her baby. She is a really really nice person, kind and sweet. She is like another sister or mentor to me. So, god, please let good things happen to her.
Second, this morning, I was asking a friend of mine about another friend of mine, who I used to work with when I was an undergrad. We haven't kept in touch since she graduated, which was about a year and a half ago. Few hours later, I received her email. Isn't it, weird? She emailed me and asked me whether I am graduating and there is an opening in the company she is currently working with. The position is also what I am looking for, R&D. Unfortunately, I am not graduating yet. :( God..should have work harder and get done faster.
Anyway, even though I am not getting a job or nothing good happened to me today, but I am really happy. The first news was a really great news, which I have been waiting for since last year. The second news makes me felt that there is someone out there who still remembers me and who is still looking out for me. I felt great..
Life is getting better now...
p/s: Sorry for the English. I am too happy and can't think very well right now.. Gonna do some silly things now, wanna join me?

Update
I am back.
I know I haven't been updating this website for a while, don't worry, my friends, I am still alive. Healthy and happy like never. I was busy with moving and the internet connection wasn't set up yet, that's why you guys didn't see me online. I am currently sharing a 2 bedroom apartment with an African lady from Uganda. She is a nice girl. I am enjoying my life now.
My sister came to visit me. She stayed here for 4 weeks. She was supposed to be back at the 4th of August but she stayed for another 2 weeks. She left last Thursday by greyhound. We have a great time hanging out together. We haven't been hanging out like this for almost 2 years. She helped me move and fixed everything in the new apartment for me. Hehehe...
Bad news. I am definitely postponing my graduation date to next spring. My major professor think that it is better for me to do the seminar next semester instead of this fall. Well, hmm..what should I do? Could I go home this spring for Chinese New Year then? Or I have to stay here and go through all the seminar classes every Wednesday? How many seminar could I miss? Man...life sucks! Jeez...maybe I should cancel the plan and go home during the summer then? Well, if I am going home during the summer, I might not get my OPT yet. Then, I cannot go home. Alright, even if I got my OPT by then, I am wasting my time. I have only 1 year to get a job. Going home this winter break? No way! I might not done with my research yet. I don't want to end up like that tea leaf. Or postponing my graduation to summer? This might be an option but I don't want to spend so much time on a Master degree. I want to officially graduate in spring. My visa expired next July too...Aii.....Complicated.
Tired of thinking now. So, just let it be for now.
School starts tomorrow. I am not taking any serious class this semester. My major professor was shocked and laughed when I told her that I am taking Tap Dancing and Ice Skating next semester. Hmm...Luckily she didn't ask me to take food protein. :P
Alright, my friends, if you want my new address, just email me.

Costa Rica II
It's time to update my Costa Rica trip again.
On our way to Villa Lapas, we stopped to watch crocodiles under the bridge. It was quite boring to me because it is nothing special to me. Crocodiles? So? I saw it so many times in Langkawi. So bored and hot!
This is the butt view of the group, except me. They would kill me if they see this picture. Muahahahaha...
CL took a picture of me taking picture of the crocodiles.
Then we continue our journey to Hotel Villa Lapas.
Hotel Villa Lapas (2 nights)
The first thing everyone did after arrive to Hotel Villa Lapas was jumping into the pool. Here is a picture of happy Cheryll in the pool.
After everyone get ready, we went to the beach. Before that, Jim told us that the beach is very beautiful and so on. So, I expected to see white, soft sands and nice blue ocean. However, when we arrived there, I was shocked to see the so called "beautiful" beach.
The sand was brown and the water was dark green. It was, horrible. I decided not to go into that water. It was just too scary. You never know what skin disease you are gonna get by getting into this water. The sun was hot and some gals was trying to get tan. We were having fun though, even though the water was nasty.
SHARKS!! SHARKS!! Cheryll was running for her life! Kekeke..Just kidding.
Three musketeers, Nat, CL and me. Everyone just kept taking picture of us. So weird. Felt like a star but....
Anyway, we saw a very pretty bird again! Scarlet Macaw! I can't take a close picture of them becuase they kept flying passed without telling me (I don't understand bird language). However, I saw this bird again in the Reptile garden when I went to South Dakota. Here's the picture..
Aren't they pretty?
Here is my prince on the brown horse riding into the sunset.
Ok, the sun wasn't set yet. But, soon.
I wasn't a great photographer, so, the picture wasn't that pretty.
The dinner in that hotel was great. It was a buffet with ice cream, espresso machine and all other great stuff. They have an open bar. We were all so excited and Jim had to warn us not to get drunk. The bartender and workers there were actually glad cause most people that came are couples or old people. They are desperate to meet some young female species. We were having a lot of fun. I played the first foosball game in my life. Of course, I lost.
The next day, we went to visit palm production plant. It was very hot. We have to wear this worker hat in order to get into the plant.
Don't I look like teletubbies? Hahaha.. It was fun being stupid.
Here is the group picture taken after the visit. The guy beside Cheryll was the plant manager who showed us the plantation.
After we visited the plantation, we went for a canopy hike. It was the worst hike ever because we have to hike on the road. We were not hiking in the forest, so, there were no trees blocking the sun. I was so exhausted and dehydrated. I almost wanted to stop some car and asked them to bring me back to the hotel. It was horrible. Jim told us that the canopy walk was very great and everything.
CL took the picture of me walking on the canopy walk. It was quite boring, actually. I went to Taman Negara in Malaysia before and their Canopy walk was way way way better! It was higher and much more interesting.
I was so tired. When we get down from the Canopy walk, our professors were still way behind. We have to end up stopping a car and asked for direction. The driver (cute guy) actually offered us a drive but we declined. Kathryn, Laurel and Jesse put up a sign for Jim so that they know which way to go.
This cute couple! You can imagine how crazy the trip was with this kind of professor as the trip leader.
At night, we have a group discussion again and Jim was doing crazy stuff again. He held up these two plants and told us that only people who are holding the plant can talk. God! This 60 something guy is just as playful as we are!
We left the next day to Arenal, a volcano area.
On our way, we stopped by a souvenior store.
Our dear Jim is doing some funny stunt again.
We also stopped by a garden to look at all those tree sculpture (or art). It was a very interesting place. They make the trees into dinosaur, arches, puppet and etc.
Many students were hanging out in that garden when we were there. They look like high school kids.
CL with two don't-know-what tree sculpture.
We stopped for lunch somewhere.
This is how Costa Rican brew their coffee. It was gooooood! I bought a tiny set of this back from Costa Rica.
Then we went to visit Tico Frut. It was a company that process fruit juices. They sell some of their fruit juice to Coca-cola company to make MinuteMaid, I think. We weren't allow to take pictures except when we were out of the plant.
We then continue our journey to Arenal.
Arenal Observatory Lodge (2 nights)
Arenal is an active volcano. It has some red hot lava coming out almost every hour. It was fun watching it. We were 160km (sea line/horizontally) away from the Volcano. We really had an up-close and personal look at the volcano. It was really a very special experience.
Volcano puffing! (That's how I described it).
The beautiful sunset.
Everyone ran to the pool again after we arrived at the hotel. They even have a hot tub in that hotel. We were really really spoiled!
The dinner was a sit down dinner. It was included in the hotel. We can order whatever we want from the appertizer to the dessert. It was very very fun. It was also Trisha's 21st birthday. From the dining room, we have a nice view of the volcano. We can see the red lava flowing down the volcano occasionally. It was very very romantic and special. It was the best dinner I ever had thus far. The food was not the best but the atmosphere was really great.
The dining room was really dark.
Trish with her Tres-leche dessert. The waiter brought out a guitar and sang a birthday song for her. Nat requested that since she speaks Spanish fluently. It was really fun.
Food in my mouth again.
We went for a hike the next day.
We took a picture with the sign before going in. It wrote something about hike at your own risk. Sounds danger..
CL was trying to cross the river. Heheh...I crossed by stepping on stones so that I didn't get my feet wet. :P
Here is the picture of the volcano when it was not covered by the cloud. I took this picture when we were hiking up the hill to get closer to the volcano. The volcano was usually covered with cloud and Jim told us that some people waited the whole day and still couldn't see the volcano due to the cloud. We were lucky!
The hiking was easy though. It was hot, but not as bad as the one in Savegre.
The three crazy gal with the Volcano.
The view from the volcano was magnificent. I felt like I was in a story book.
I tried taking pictures but, again, I am bad.
Pretend to be cute. HOT! (I don't mean me, I mean the weather!)
Hiking down again.
We have a free time for the afternoon. Of course, all of us went hanging out near the pool again.
Those crazy gals doing synchronize swimming.
CL and I sat outside waiting for the lave and of course, for the perfect picture. We didn't succeed though. :(
Group picture again before we left.
We were on the bus again going to Palo Verde.
The view was really breathtaking!
Palo Verde (1 night)
We arrived Palo Verde Biological Station around 2.30pm. Franklin, our dear bus driver cum tour guide left us for an interview.
We have this new bus driver who didn't try to look for special creature while he was driving. So, we didn't get any emergency breaks and binocular searching moments with him, which would happen when Franklin is driving. However, Cindy spotted two Motmot on our way there. It was a pretty little bird.
The drive was rough because the road was not fixed. It was not a tarred road. It took us a long time to reach there.
We all freaked out when we saw our hotel. They have a double decker loft but only the bottom level was ready for us. Mosquito net was set on top of our bed. It was so creepy. Spiders, lizards, iguana are everywhere. We saw huge bugs flying and crawling around. Frogs were jumping everywhere. I got sicked in my stomach when it was time for bed that night.
We went for a hike right away after we arrived. That mountain was filled with moquitoessss. I felt like I was walking into a mosquito's heaven. We sprayed bug spray all over ourselve but yet, the mosquito was still trying to attack us. It was crazy.
The dining room was crazy too. There are ants everywhere. Katie called them power ant because they are invincible. We tried to kill them but we failed. They stand up again, and crawled around again. We gave up.
We were so scared to go back to our room so we hang out in the dining room after the dinner waiting for the night hike.
Katie, Nat and I was trying to show our scared face.
We went for the night hike. Even though the weather was hot, we all wore long sleeve shirt. No one wanted to do charity. No food for the crazy mosquitoesss.
No one showered that night. We all went to bed as late as we could cause it was too scary.
Me in my little mosquito net. It was broken, which freaked me out even more. It was hot but I still covered myself up with blanket. I am worried that spider or cockroaches might climb on me. It was very freaky. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep for an hour. There are several other people who couldn't sleep and they went to the computer room to use the internet for the rest of the night.
The next day, most of us are wearing the same cloth as last night. No one showered. We all covered ourselve with bug spray before we went to bed. We sprayed it again the next morning.
We went for bird watching, then hike again.
Our dear tourguide, Carlos.
On top of the hill. It was nice up there. You have the full view of the...paddy field, and also mountains. I am glad we are leaving that place. We all quickly hiked down and go back to the station. We managed to shower before we leave. I left the pants, shoes and shirts in Palo Verde. I am not gonna take those things home.
The view of dry paddy field and mountains. Wish I can go back there again..
Yohoooo!! On our way to San Jose, which means, going home. We are all so ready to go home now.
The traffice in San Jose reminds me of Kuala Lumpur. So crowded and packed. Annoying.
We stayed in Hotel Don Carlos. The hotel is very pretty and the facilities are great. Unfortunately, we have to leave before 6am, so, we didn't get to try their complimentary breakfast.
CL, Me and Nat was taking stupid pictures in the hotel room.
Me, Trish and Nicole.
CL, with one of the sculptures in the hotel.
Me, with the same sculpture. Hehehe..told you, it is fun to be stupid!
Our lovely dinner. Cheryll bought the dinner. It was fun. Last dinner in Costa Rica.
Franklin managed to come back and drove us to the airport. The last group picture outside Hotel Don Carlos. We are gonna miss him. He is already part of the group.
San Jose airport.
Burger King breakfast in Costa Rica.
Dallas airport. Doing stupid thing again. :P
Ok, what happened after Savegre?
Another long drive from Savegre to Hotel Villa Lapas. Savegre as I mentioned before, was located in the mountain area, and now, we are going down the mountain to a beach. It is gonna be hot. The ride was rough though. I got mild car sick during the drive.

On our way to Villa Lapas, we stopped to watch crocodiles under the bridge. It was quite boring to me because it is nothing special to me. Crocodiles? So? I saw it so many times in Langkawi. So bored and hot!
This is the butt view of the group, except me. They would kill me if they see this picture. Muahahahaha...CL took a picture of me taking picture of the crocodiles.
Then we continue our journey to Hotel Villa Lapas.Hotel Villa Lapas (2 nights)
The first thing everyone did after arrive to Hotel Villa Lapas was jumping into the pool. Here is a picture of happy Cheryll in the pool.
After everyone get ready, we went to the beach. Before that, Jim told us that the beach is very beautiful and so on. So, I expected to see white, soft sands and nice blue ocean. However, when we arrived there, I was shocked to see the so called "beautiful" beach.
The sand was brown and the water was dark green. It was, horrible. I decided not to go into that water. It was just too scary. You never know what skin disease you are gonna get by getting into this water. The sun was hot and some gals was trying to get tan. We were having fun though, even though the water was nasty.
SHARKS!! SHARKS!! Cheryll was running for her life! Kekeke..Just kidding.
Three musketeers, Nat, CL and me. Everyone just kept taking picture of us. So weird. Felt like a star but....Anyway, we saw a very pretty bird again! Scarlet Macaw! I can't take a close picture of them becuase they kept flying passed without telling me (I don't understand bird language). However, I saw this bird again in the Reptile garden when I went to South Dakota. Here's the picture..
Aren't they pretty?
Here is my prince on the brown horse riding into the sunset.Ok, the sun wasn't set yet. But, soon.
I wasn't a great photographer, so, the picture wasn't that pretty.The dinner in that hotel was great. It was a buffet with ice cream, espresso machine and all other great stuff. They have an open bar. We were all so excited and Jim had to warn us not to get drunk. The bartender and workers there were actually glad cause most people that came are couples or old people. They are desperate to meet some young female species. We were having a lot of fun. I played the first foosball game in my life. Of course, I lost.
The next day, we went to visit palm production plant. It was very hot. We have to wear this worker hat in order to get into the plant.
Don't I look like teletubbies? Hahaha.. It was fun being stupid.
Here is the group picture taken after the visit. The guy beside Cheryll was the plant manager who showed us the plantation.After we visited the plantation, we went for a canopy hike. It was the worst hike ever because we have to hike on the road. We were not hiking in the forest, so, there were no trees blocking the sun. I was so exhausted and dehydrated. I almost wanted to stop some car and asked them to bring me back to the hotel. It was horrible. Jim told us that the canopy walk was very great and everything.
CL took the picture of me walking on the canopy walk. It was quite boring, actually. I went to Taman Negara in Malaysia before and their Canopy walk was way way way better! It was higher and much more interesting.
I was so tired. When we get down from the Canopy walk, our professors were still way behind. We have to end up stopping a car and asked for direction. The driver (cute guy) actually offered us a drive but we declined. Kathryn, Laurel and Jesse put up a sign for Jim so that they know which way to go.
This cute couple! You can imagine how crazy the trip was with this kind of professor as the trip leader.
At night, we have a group discussion again and Jim was doing crazy stuff again. He held up these two plants and told us that only people who are holding the plant can talk. God! This 60 something guy is just as playful as we are!We left the next day to Arenal, a volcano area.
On our way, we stopped by a souvenior store.
Our dear Jim is doing some funny stunt again.We also stopped by a garden to look at all those tree sculpture (or art). It was a very interesting place. They make the trees into dinosaur, arches, puppet and etc.
Many students were hanging out in that garden when we were there. They look like high school kids.
CL with two don't-know-what tree sculpture.We stopped for lunch somewhere.
This is how Costa Rican brew their coffee. It was gooooood! I bought a tiny set of this back from Costa Rica.Then we went to visit Tico Frut. It was a company that process fruit juices. They sell some of their fruit juice to Coca-cola company to make MinuteMaid, I think. We weren't allow to take pictures except when we were out of the plant.
We then continue our journey to Arenal.Arenal Observatory Lodge (2 nights)
Arenal is an active volcano. It has some red hot lava coming out almost every hour. It was fun watching it. We were 160km (sea line/horizontally) away from the Volcano. We really had an up-close and personal look at the volcano. It was really a very special experience.
Volcano puffing! (That's how I described it).
The beautiful sunset.Everyone ran to the pool again after we arrived at the hotel. They even have a hot tub in that hotel. We were really really spoiled!
The dinner was a sit down dinner. It was included in the hotel. We can order whatever we want from the appertizer to the dessert. It was very very fun. It was also Trisha's 21st birthday. From the dining room, we have a nice view of the volcano. We can see the red lava flowing down the volcano occasionally. It was very very romantic and special. It was the best dinner I ever had thus far. The food was not the best but the atmosphere was really great.
The dining room was really dark.
Trish with her Tres-leche dessert. The waiter brought out a guitar and sang a birthday song for her. Nat requested that since she speaks Spanish fluently. It was really fun.
Food in my mouth again.We went for a hike the next day.
We took a picture with the sign before going in. It wrote something about hike at your own risk. Sounds danger..
CL was trying to cross the river. Heheh...I crossed by stepping on stones so that I didn't get my feet wet. :P
Here is the picture of the volcano when it was not covered by the cloud. I took this picture when we were hiking up the hill to get closer to the volcano. The volcano was usually covered with cloud and Jim told us that some people waited the whole day and still couldn't see the volcano due to the cloud. We were lucky!The hiking was easy though. It was hot, but not as bad as the one in Savegre.
The three crazy gal with the Volcano.The view from the volcano was magnificent. I felt like I was in a story book.
I tried taking pictures but, again, I am bad.
Pretend to be cute. HOT! (I don't mean me, I mean the weather!)
Hiking down again.We have a free time for the afternoon. Of course, all of us went hanging out near the pool again.
Those crazy gals doing synchronize swimming.
CL and I sat outside waiting for the lave and of course, for the perfect picture. We didn't succeed though. :(
Group picture again before we left.We were on the bus again going to Palo Verde.
The view was really breathtaking!
Palo Verde (1 night)
We arrived Palo Verde Biological Station around 2.30pm. Franklin, our dear bus driver cum tour guide left us for an interview.
We have this new bus driver who didn't try to look for special creature while he was driving. So, we didn't get any emergency breaks and binocular searching moments with him, which would happen when Franklin is driving. However, Cindy spotted two Motmot on our way there. It was a pretty little bird.
The drive was rough because the road was not fixed. It was not a tarred road. It took us a long time to reach there.We all freaked out when we saw our hotel. They have a double decker loft but only the bottom level was ready for us. Mosquito net was set on top of our bed. It was so creepy. Spiders, lizards, iguana are everywhere.
