a walk down-town.

because every weekend, the same proceedings happen. one day of the weekend is devoted entirely to play. and the other is devoted to studying and school work. perfect use of time. so on a particularly boring weekend, i decided to join the girls on their first trip to pike place, even though i was just there 2 weeks ago. here are the sights and food. =)

presenting shian chi (pronounced xian4 qi2), fellow foodie, magazine-reading shopaholic. =) she never fails to make me laugh. and we exchange magazines that we buy. glamour, cosmopolitan, vogue. she stays in the block next to me, with yinyin. you'll see her later.

girl no. 2 is suhui. you've seen here on my blog before. she's my neighbour.

at pike place. glorious day again. the mountains were visible. seattle's really blessed to be surrounded by mountains, national parks, water and an amazing array of flora and fauna.

the sun. =) you can see the big cranes of the port nearby. the aerial shots of seattle that shows on grey's anatomy often pans over the port and reaches the space needle. speaking of grey's anatomy, yesterday's episode was quite good! full of drama and comedy too. perfect grey's recipe. not to mention a horrific cliffhanger. it's a 3-parter. so for 2 weeks they're gonna leave us hanging, not knowing what will happen the next episode.

downtown seattle. repeat post.

i'm the queen of self-shots, due to my stylo wide-angle lens camera. hence everytime i do a self-shot, the people are always in the frame. this time even better. the background is in too!

the trail of "clouds" that planes leave in the sky always fascinates me. because i liken it to a beautiful brush stroke on a blue canvas.

the girls about town. from left: yinyin (she's a great basketball player and really funny.), suhui, shian chi and me.

see. another artist has left a white stroke on the blue canvas. =) so beautiful.

the only guy with us. wan quan. future bioengineer. he is smart and talks a lot of rubbish. his favorite pastime is to tease shian chi till she's speechless and unable to retaliate.

say hello to this darling schnauzer. is that how you spell it carlene? he had such a funny expression on his face i decided to snap this. i love it that seattle loves dogs. almost everyone i meet has a dog. =)

a great day to sit down on the grass for a picnic and talk and gossip and admire the scenery before us. here we hold up starbucks and yummy yummy bread.

after shopping at downtown, i came home with 2 more tops from american eagle. and we bought a cheesecake to share from the legendary famous cheesecake factory and it was yummy. really really good. and we stumbled across this shop selling cupcakes! and they were nice and pretty!! love the icing.

ok. i'll be posting pictures of snoqualmie part 2 soon. and the fascinating tale of my snowboarding experience awaits. =)
