Concorde Adventure

So, over the weekend, Tien and I went down to Seattle to visit the Museum of Flight. Because we saw a documentary on discovery channel about the supersonic jetliner: Concorde, we were instantly fascinated by the super fast, super luxury air travel! It is a shame that the mach 2 jetliner retired after 27 years of transporting people at sonic speeds! I wish I could fly that fast! The museum was a lot of fun! Saw some space foods! Nasty nasty things in tubes! There were plenty of fighter jets from WWI and WWII. Funny thing we discovered, the museum had absolutely no mentions of the Vietnam War and the bombing of Pearl Harbour, which probably used a bunch of jets...How politically correct/incorrect to exclude these battles. Anyway! Here is a photo of me posing with a jet figther!



While on our trip, we visited cheesecake factory, the pasta was good and I had a mere appetizer for $5 and it filled me up! American portions are amazing! Purchases made were a toiletry organizer from the Container Store! Also an awesome skirt from the Material Girl line! Horray for me! And a Trench Coat for Tien! We're styling!

Birthday extravaganza

Domo Kun Cake! It was Tien's birthday yesterday and I woke up at 6am to bake a domokun cake :)

It reignited my passion for baking! Now that I've got left over ingredients, it's baking time! Also I made my second attempt at creme caramel. The texture was too hard, perhaps I was missing the aluminum foil to cover it, but mom says aluminum foil is poisonous! Also my caramel is too bitter :( Who has a good/easy recipe?

Anyway! I hope everyone's birthday cake is as cool as this one!



that's gotta hurt!

Meteor shower

So last night Tien and I bought some burger king fries (they are the best, so fresh and potatoy) and laid under the stars in the park near my house! It was a bit hard to see at first, since it is relatively bright with some street lamps and house lights. After a while we saw a couple big ones and few little ones. We called it quits around 11:30pm. It was getting late and cold! Overall, very fun and very romantic. Hahaha, minus the part where I sprayed bug repellent all over the grass surrounding us! Like a barrier!

Anyway, got bills to pay. Hurt.

The good life

I know I've got it pretty good, and am in no position to be complaining.

I think I need some time alone and just learn to relax. Work seems never ending. I come home and it feels like work. I don't have real co-workers, I don't interact with humans on a regular basis, except for vague customer service. I feel like I am drowning sometimes, not knowing when I will ever reach the shore. I'm not saying I want to be jumping out of airplanes everyday, I just want something to call my own. I am losing a sense of self-identity.

Maybe technology is killing me. I think I'll go a week without computer/tv/cellphone, and see where I end up.

Backstreet's back, alright!

Last night Tien, Jermey, and I were at Rogers Arena with thousands of screaming women!
I would say the Backstreet Boys really imprinted me as a fresh immigrant child! They were my first experience of the boy bands to come, and they were definitely the best of them all! 17 years after the band formed, they are still rocking it! All the women at the concert last night were all dressed up for the boys! There were about 20 guys at the concert! Nevertheless the boys also sang along! It was awesome!

Anyway, I've been living a week without my plastics, also living on $100 cash. So far so good. Since I lost my wallet, I canceled my cards, so I am waiting eagerly for them to arrive in the mail! I was fortunately enough to have my wallet returned to me from a kind citizen!

It's been hard without the plastic, since I wanted to do some online shopping, and buy some Kooza tickets and book a trip. All those things are impossible without a credit card number! Oh how I've become reliant on cards!

Have a good weekend guys!

Only boys who save their pennies make my rainy day

The OG Material Girl is Madge!

♫ Living in a material world, and I am a material girl ♪

So lately I've been having Madge moments! Isn't Madonna awesome?! Ugh, she is like superwoman. Anyway, loving this song, since we are all material girls. hehe.

I am especially excited about Madge's new line of clothing, Material Girl Collection. The collection came out yesterday at Macy's across the nation! Guess who's the new face of Madonna's young hipster clothing line? That's right.....Taylor Momsen!

The collection includes clothes, shoes, accessories! And all without a hefty price tag! Because it's hard being a rich material girl when you don't got the boy with the cold hard cash! YAY FOR MADGE AND AFFORDABLE FASHION!

hotwire.com

I am a fan of Expeida.ca, as it offers a wide range of hotels, vacation packages, photos, reviews, and deals!

I've been using expedia for years, and still love it. Some of you may be familiar with hotwire.com, a discount travel website! They offer low prices on vacation packages, airfare, hotel, and car rental, but the only catch is that the hotel/airline isn't revealed until you've paid! So you're not given the option to choose specific hotel, trade off is the low prices!

I've always been a bit timid about booking a hotel before seeing some reviews/photos! This time I am feeling a bit more adventurous and I think it'll be fun to book via hotwire.com! It should be a good experience since hotwire.com is managed by Expedia!

I will be checking back and forth from expedia, tripadvisor, and hotwire, to try and figure out which hotel I am booking! I am such a scaredy cat. And I think I just found a package on hotwire.com that is $100 less than on expedia.com!

Lost wallet

What happens when you lose your wallet? Your boyfriend takes you on a shopping spree and go wild at build a bear!


Kitty is wearing a red dress and wearing a sequence cardigan as a cape :)

So I don't exactly know how I lost the wallet.
Below are speculations of the unfortunate event.

The thick wallet fell out of my pocket, without me noticing.

I was a victim of pocket picking, as a man walked by me through a door!

Anyway, most credit cards and debit stuff have been taken care of.

Lesson learned!
