as the teams warm up. yao ming is a giant. seriously.
(quite) up close and personal. all 4 of us forgot our cameras. how smart right. this is as much zoom as my nokia n73 can take. we all thought houston will trash seattle like crazy. but it turned out to be quite an exciting game! houston wasn't on form. lots of mistakes. seattle was much better than the last knicks game. lost by 6 points. sigh. good game nevertheless.ok here come more pretty photos. =)
cherry blossoms come to UW. and all over seattle. and spring weather clothes are in season!
i'm so in love with macro shots since i don't own a SLR and hence cannot do shallow depth of field. and the flowers, so beautiful, so transient.
the big blue sky, the pink flowers, the 3 towers and 1 fluffy cloud.
just chilling out with a book. probably catching up on readings. taken at the beautiful quad.
the petals fly in the wind and land on the green grass. the grass littered with pink.
movement against domestic violence week. that very same week rebecca greigo died at the hands of her stalker-exboyfriend.
the flowers grow on barks too!
one of my favorite flowers smiling happily at me. the daisies here grow everywhere! like weeds they spread out on random patches of grass.
once beautiful, always beautiful.
another favorite flower!! purple tulips. and purple is our school color. they also grow randomly around campus and seattle roadsides! it's amazingly pretty. washington state is the 2nd biggest tulip exporter after holland. =)
on the way to class, it's nice to pass by the cherry trees.
my red pointys. make for nice contrast against the pink and green ground.
=) for all of you in singapore.
lounging under the cherry trees. love the laidbackness of UW students. basking in the sun.
haha everytime i see this photo i wanna laugh. this is yanru, my fellow singaporean and also my oboe junior from TJ. and she gets attacked by UW's resident ducks during one of our picnics. yes very western-y of us. but picnics under the cherry trees at the quad is just such a nice thing to do. and it saves us money too 'cos we pack our own lunch from home. here yanru bought lunch from the cafeteria and the duck was pretty interested in that. =)
our spread. picnic #1
me and my cherries.
suhui and me basking.
picnic #2 with frisbee and tree-climbing!
and we all got on the tree safely. =) poor tree must have groaned under all our weight.
zaishan and me. this picture is totally random, our heads to the same side.
shian chi and me. on the cherry tree!
random shots from winter. mexican food! i have this liking for fajitas.
breakfast at cafe on the ave, one of our frequent study spots along university way. love their breakfast.
shian chi made me pose.
then we had to take one together! on the way home from school.
and we love to stop by Mix ice cream. you can choose your ice cream flavors and a whole big assortment of candies, nuts, toppings sauces etc etc. my favorite so far is strawberry cheesecake, raspberry and vanilla ice cream with crushed graham crackers. i think that's the mix. hmmm. but anyway ben and jerry's and haagen daz here is super cheap. like one pint is US$3. well not super cheap. but cheaper than back home and a whole lot more flavors. so we love it. everytime we have ice cream parties (which is more often than back home. haaa), there are on average 4-5 pints of different flavors to choose from. =)
part 2 of "shian chi made me pose".
this time was the first signs of bloom at the quad way back in winter quarter. =) smelling the cherry blossoms.alright time to go. will be back with more pictures after my trip to portland.
me acting pretty with a flower above my ear. the daisy is too tiny. =)oh yes. rufus wainwright concert was awesome. shall not bore with details. but great gig. looking forward to damien rice. =)
