Japanese Summer Festival

　　　Today was one of my favorite days of the year. Where everyone (mostly Asians) gather, eat food, play games. Basically to have a great time. Though I do that every
day, what made this day special compared to any other day was because of Japanese Summer Festival.

　　　I haven't gone anywhere over the summer, except to grocery shopping and frequent driving lessons by Mum. So I was really excited for the festival, the most enjoyable activity I had was goldfish scooping (金魚掬い kingyo sukui, to be more accurate). Here's what should've looked like:


　　　You see, there's a couple swimming in that bowl. MY bowl = O a big fat O. Yeah, pathetic. Doing it for the first time may have been a contributing factor. . .

　　　After, my mum had bought my family a drink, which was frozen. So I had done what anyone would've done in a car. Warm it up with your hands to the extreme, with intense pressure.
　　　Oh, my teeth weren't a big help. Biting into plastic isn't my thing. Just under an hour before all melted and quenched my thirst. And look at the size of that. World record for slowness? My sister won it. I came second to last.

Harry Potter! Harry Potter!

Oh gosh! It's coming! I mean it came!
I can hardly wait to go see it tomorrow!
The last Harry Potter movie, part 1.
I'm watching it tomorrow, and go to Panera Bread for lunch. It's gonna be amazing and intense...! OHhh...
I wish it was tomorrow already.


Besides that, I'm reading the Cirque du Freak series and I am absolutely glued to it. I can't sleep at night because I want to know what's gonna happen next.

Also, my English class is starting to read the Animal Farm, but I already read it in the summer, so I mostly know what it's about. (_ _*)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Boy, it's been a month since I last posted something on my blog. sorry, sorry. (>_<) Anyway, tomorrow is Halloween and I'm deciding that I'll stay home and watch some scary movies instead of trick-or-treating the neighborhood.

Two years ago, I did something similar because my mother told me that I shouldn't go. But this year, I do not feel like going. I know people are gonna tell me that you're never too old to go trick-or-treating, and I think so too. But I feel weird this time. I wanna go trick-or-treating 'til midnight, I wanna have my stomach filled with unhealthy, delicious sweets, I wanna stay at a party and watch scary movies til I'm scared to go to the bathroom alone.

But this year, I just have this feeling that I shouldn't go.

Japanese noodles at Bellevue, WA

I went to the supermall in Bellevue today~!

It was surprising huge, quite huge as Southpoint in Durham. Or bigger.

The place even had third story in Nordstrom and at the main hall, but not always. Sometimes I forgot if I was on which floor and had to count by the stairs and escalators.

Outside, I found The Cheesecake Factory!! And the Magiano's Little Italy was also be seen on the map.

Where I went to get lunch was Boom Noodles. It was a Japanese noodle place that serves ramen, and soba, soups and mostly Asian food. I couldn't decide what to take since all of the food sounded so good! And I haven't had REAL Japanese ramen for a super long time. By what REAL means, I meant not instant noodles or dried packet ramen since I always eat those at home. But ooohhhh~ the fresh hot soup and pork toppings is the best!

This is what I chose to eat for the day: Miso Ramen~!

Sorry it kinda looks half eaten. Well, I had to nibble! I was starving!
The ingredients you see on the left is a triangle nori (seaweed).

And the left top corner looks to be the pork.

Plus tons of green onions just floating near the bottom.

Just a random cloud I took the other day. What does it look like to you?
