the power of N series.

ok. long time no update. midterm madness is in progress. had 2 midterms last week in the midst of my sickness. but still managed to do surprisingly well. although i don't know how the class did, but i'm happy with my grades. now i have one lab exam and one final take-home exam paper to conquer. but first, pictures taken with the nokia N73. so the quality is not as good as the lumix. but still good. =)

the microbe toys! edward this is for you! haha. this is the school of medicine bookstore, where i buy my textbooks.

the legendary gray's anatomy, where the inspiration for grey's anatomy came from. i just watched the episode on tv! it was good! but last week's was better. trailer for next week's episode looks smashing. can't wait. and lost will return on wednesday! i'm so excited.

the view from the south campus center next to my school, overlooking the lake.

the 1st snow fall! outside the grocery store. it's a bad photo but the only important thing is the snow on my hair. heh.

the quad. this is UW's version of the quad when dusk fell. it's beautiful. compared to NTU's quad. we had very clear days nowadays with the bright sun and cloudless skies. so students are starting to bring their picnic mats and lounging and basking in the sun, studying or reading.

the trees that line the perimeter of the quad. i have a sneaky feeling these are the cherry blossom trees. but gotta wait for spring. scroll down for a sneak preview.

snoqualmie pics. this was taken at the bottom of the tubing slope. where i didn't have my lumix. so whipped out the handphone from my pocket. you can see the lanes where the tubes go down.

dan and xander. posted this because xander looks so cute sitting in the tube and his eyes are barely open. =)

linda and me. with our tubing passes. waiting for the tube lift up the slope. i'm going back to snoqualmie this saturday with gerri dan and the kids again! yayyy.

japanese food for dinner one night! it was quite nice (not as nice as in tokyo of course) and cheap too! here you have the katsu donburi (? is that the name?). katsu don with omelette.

sorry wrong orientation. here you have the tempura soba! =)

on the way back home from fred hutchinson cancer research center. the sun sets over the space needle. see if you can spot it among the tangle of electric cables.

pretty flowers that look like cherry blossoms to me but i have no idea. anyone can confirm? there's only this one tree that blooms this beautiful pink flowers in front of the clinic.

here's the tree. =) love pretty flowers.

speaking of pretty flowers, this flower caught my attention as i was walking out of fred hutchinson today. it's so weird but yet quite nice. and it looks like cloves of garlic.

the sunset today was beautiful too. couldn't resist. this is the courtyard of one of the hutch buildings.

the marina opposite the hutch. this is lake union. the sun falls below the horizon behind the space needle. it was beautiful. i purposely walked to the marina after my class ended to take pictures and admire the scenery.



the lake. just on tuesday i saw a sea-plane land onto the waters of the lake. so cool.


the fred hutchinson cancer research center. from the marina opposite.


space needle zoomed in.


the sky is turning pink. and the sun is starting to set later and later. meaning winter is slipping away. yay!


the boats are lined up. i wonder if i can try fly-fishing. but that will have to wait till spring. i can't wait for spring to come! so many things to do. =)


and it slips away slowly. i was sitting on the bench, just looking out at the water. i like times like these. because i know that i'm stopping to smell the roses. sometimes people forget how beautiful this world is.

from seattle, with love. =)
