One more year

我渐渐爱上这里的生活 或许是习惯 或许是我变了
就如咏荷所说的 “看沙漠看到闷 看山看到闷 看仙人掌看到闷 看美丽的夕阳看到闷 看到四五架飞机在天空排队看到闷 但是我就是喜欢。”
哈哈 重点是 我还是很喜欢看金头发 有胸肌又有腹肌 嘴巴讲着一口流利英文的外国人
其实我才是外国人啦
或许我真的很崇洋
虽然有时会很怀念过去的生活
但是一旦适应 我愿意一年只能吃一次咖哩鱼头
我会很不舍得 也一定会很难过如果要离开这里
虽然还有1年的时间 但是眨一眨眼 9个月就这样过去了
说快不快 说慢也不慢
奇怪的是 我的美国朋友都希望我留下来 不是一个两个这样说
而是好几个 听了都非常感动
有些事并不是我能决定的 一切就听主的安排吧!

I'm so happy tonight.

I was trying to act like a 20 years old girl. hahaha.




NoRTH (Italian cuisine) at Kierland Commons in Scottsdale.
The environment there is really awesome and the restaurant is crowded.
People come for the delicious food, for sure.

You are always there for me.



Yeahhh Yeongher and I were crazy last night, and it was my second time my aunt allows me to go back home late. hehe It's because of my birthday. I got a free movie ticket from Ipic theater. Thereby I decided to bring Yeongher along, and we watched Limitless. Both of us wore nicely last night, seemed like we were going to club, yet actually not. I didn't wear high heel for a long time, it caused me so pain, and eventually I walked to parking lot with bare feet.






We went TK's urban tavern for dinner. It's an amazing place, and the waiters are really nice and friendly.





Molasses Glazed Pork Tenderloin
(Caramelized Brussels sprouts with pancetta bacon and baby patatoes)






Before watching movie, we dropped by Apple store since the White Iphone4 just launched. Hehe We took the display White Iphone 4, and took our picture and set it as a wallpaper, and then put it back. hahaha We might get scolded by other people. Haha We don't care! Just for fun!



She was so excited. hahaha ; )



p/s: Thanks for always being there for me, Khoo Yeong Her.

I don't need easy. I just need possible.



Soul Surfer.
It is true story, and it is about Bethany Hamilton, a 13 years old local champion surfer, was attacked while surfing near Tunnels Beach by a 14 foot shark which severs her left arm. She fights through this tragedy with the help of her family and friends and eventually returns to surfing to fulfill her dream of becoming a professional surfer.


Last Thursday I went to watch a movie with my dear. Under the randomly circumstance, we simply chose a movie and went in. While I was watching this movie, I could not hold my tears. It is so touching. It is hard to go through this when thing happens on you. Even you take a step is harder than you might have thought.



I am just done typing my testimony, and going to prepare my presentation on Monday. I am so nervous about it. You know what, when I told my English professor that I am nervous about the presentation, and her respond was like, "huh?" and she said, " Shinn Jye, you are not shy at all!" And I was like, "Errrr..." ><'''



Anyways have a nice weekend, guys.
