妈妈，你要坚强
不要担心我， 我很好。
你要自己帮自己，因为别人都在支持你，所以你要争气，把这病给养好
你要相信医生， 也要相信自己一定会好起来的。
这期间，你就让哥哥，爸爸和启祥照顾你。
等我回来后，我会陪你一起承担。。。
好啦，别胡思乱想。再怎么样糟的情况下，一定会好转的。。。

我搬了家后，我和室友都有煮菜炒饭。这次就让大家看看我们做了些什么，吃写什么。

麦片 加 Milo

今天工作的饭盒 – 饭，蛋， 热狗炒洋葱和菜。

平时的早餐 – 面包 和 咖啡

饭， 长豆蛋， 鸡肉（用超市买的料包来煮）

洋葱蛋炒饭 加 番茄酱 和 咖啡

我在这里以来自己做得最满意的饭盒 – 胡椒蒜头猪肉 和 菜炒热狗和洋葱

清补凉汤。里头有莲子 之类的药材。 朋友留下来的汤包，她是从新加坡带来的。。。

炒面 – 有洋葱，热狗 和姜 配 绿茶

自己用面粉和牛油做出来的面团。 煎起来后，味道有点像 Roti Prata

好丰盛的一餐：茄子豆 （加洋葱和番茄酱）， 热狗蛋， 两块炸鸡柳肉， 炸鲥鱼仔， 还有药材鸡 （料包也是朋友留下的）

还有多一天的工作，我就要开始正式放假了。 我会在17 号离开这里到纽约。 然后，18 到19 号就会参加旅行团去尼亚加拉瀑布。 过后，会纽约。 21 到22号再参加旅行团去博斯顿。回纽约，自由行到25号。26号，搭国内飞机去西部。 参加9天的旅行团到8月3号。 4号，我们自己在洛杉矶自由行。 隔天就飞台湾。 台湾那边的行程还在规划中。满容易的， 没问题。。。

好啦。 我就写到这里。有空，我会再写多一些。。。

Washington D.C. - 2nd of July 2007

hey hey~!!!

cute squirrel at Washington was not scare of people. and it was eating human food, just like the seagulls in Wildwood. i hate those seagulls. they flock at low levels, in search of (human) food, scaring the hell outta me. these birds are about 3-5 times larger than the usual mynah in Singapore... their webbed feet and sturdy beak look like they are capable of tearing human flesh off my body.... Although the seagulls are considered as utter pest to me, the Americans are simply feeding them like their pets. it's especially worst when it's on the boardwalk teemed with food shops. having said all these, i must admit the fact that seagull pooed on me twice. =(

Back to the main topic, so here i am, having reached the capital of USA after a 3-hour bus ride departing from Wildwood, NJ. this is the cityscape, dominated by governmental buildings. i saw this Department of Agriculture building, and had a strong desire to work inside then. anyways, US' state buildings are very grandeur and rich in architectural flavour. i don't know how to call the style of it... neither colonial nor roman... or is it simply American?

Inside Museum of Air and Space.
Very interesting and captivating exhibits. there are many halls of exhibitions with various themes regarding aviation and space travel. There is one room which is about the Black Hole and the whole universe formation mystery. i found many things discussed in the room so familiar~ these are the stuff that i learned in that sick physic module~ i hate that module thoroughly. But it was only until that very day then I realized that it was indeed teaching me general knowledge...

this is the Hubble whatever space craft that i'd learnt in that mod... i have never thought that i am able to see the actual piece.

well, anything related to dae han min gu, i must take a photo of it... hee hee...

something of my field... hee hee the first weather pattern discovered.

the first helicopter that flew around the world... i looked sian in this pic...

their food court... actually, it is just a gigantic macdonald's that occupies the whole facade. and i have to tell u all this matter. the fast food prices in US are the same as in Singapore's. i mean numerically similar. that means even if i'm eating American fastfood, i'm paying 1.5times more than what i pay in my country...gosh... i thought i can have my favourite Mac everyday...

Outside the museum, with the beautiful flowers at the back~ on closer look, they look like chillies. hahaha click pic to have a larger view.

Chinatown~!!! but it's not as interesting and huge as Philly's... we grabbed a lady on the street to ask her if there's any restaurant that has nice Chinese food. and her answer was an immediate "No". hahaha so with that information, we just popped into a chinese restaurant and had dim sum... well, the food was below average, but still edible...

United States Capitol, i would say this is the most beautiful building in Washington D.C. as compared to the famous White House, it's far apart as heaven and earth. look below...

The famous White House, and look below, the house is divided from the touristy tourists (and maybe terrorists too) by steadfast railings. apart from us, there were many other Chinese tourists trying to appreciate this structure too...

of course must take photos with it lar~

well, an aunty silent-protesting outside the White House
read the chinese words on the board she's holding.

at a crossroad

Bank of America, that's where we deposit our sweat money

A snack stand. there are several stands like this that sell hotdogs, pretzels and drinks on the road side... i guess they're mainly serving the public servants working in this area. the vendors are all Asian Chinese. it's a strange scene, but it's kinda duplicative, or similar in the manner that the Indians monopolize the shops on the boardwalk in AC.

The Smithsonian Castle

Washington monument

time to go home~ that's our coach at the front...

Rio Grande, once again...

hey hey~~~

posting some pictures from my trip to rio grande with candy and yitsun on the 26th of June... bit outdated though, anyway, i took some photos with the lovely cats in Petsmart~!!!
remember i wrote about this big supermarket selling stuff just for pets in Rio Grande ? hahaha

this time round, the cats were pretty awake, but some are really dao~

like this one... this cat will diao me once my face gets close to it...

this one is cute... hehe s/he stood up just to take this photo with me~

gray kitty sleeping sweetly... wooo~

hammies~!!!

and more hammies~!!!

yummy yummy~ i dunno how does the famous "long queue" donut at Raffles City taste like, but dunkin's donuts are already delicious enuff to satisfy me~!!! hahah

surprisingly, i found Milo at ShopRite, a supermarket at rio grande. cool~~~ well, although almost all supermarket that i've been to have a section for Asian food, but none of them has Milo except for ShopRite~ hahaha. cool~

and this is a picture of me having a buy-1-get-1-free 4-piece fried chicken dinner with yitsun on the boardwalk... well, it's not that cheap, neither it is that delicious... can do lar~ anyway, it's been quite a while since i have fried chicken and french fries... ooo, and another announcement: after having eaten Cheng's Buffet for 6 times, i decided to quit it once and for all. hahahaha well, in fact, i'm simply too broke for a $6.41 meal... hahaha and i have to finish all the food at home before leaving Wildwood.

okayz~ that's all for now... i will write another blog about my recent Washington D.C. trip. pretty interesting and nice... cyz~!
