22 Apr 08 - DMV

Yippee!!!

I have got my LEARNER'S PERMIT...

not a perfect full score for the written

but i'm happy with just one mistake only!

HAHA...

Next coming up would be to perfect my actual driving skills...

before heading towards the ROAD TEST!!

"Gentle reminder" to all drivers: PX is going to hit on the road soon!!

...so stay off the roads unless travelling is necessary...

I'm pretty excited to start learning how to drive...

how to get the "mini monster" moving...

driving safety...obeying the "rules"...

most important of all is...GOING PLACES!!

19 Apr 08 - NYC Brooklyn Botanical Gardens

went out to venture alone to Brooklyn garden...

a nice and sunny day....perfect day to be out in the garden!

i saw my favourite flowering tree...SAKURA (Cherry Blossoms)!!

actually felt kinda weird seeing sakura in US...

better than not having any...

though it's not full bloom yet...(i'm abit sad)

i still feel so happy to be around those pale pinky trees in the garden...

it would be better with more people for a "hanami" party...

hai~~....sad to say...

just that not everyone is interested in looking at flowers...

just a day in the garden...i snapped 400 pics!!

haahaa...

it's SPRING....simply loving it....

28-30 Mar 08 - Boston Trip

another short weekend trip...

this time we are going to Boston!

personally i kinda like Boston better than NYC...

there's a much warmer feeling in the Boston city...

although the weather was awfully coldand windy!!!

maybe it's the pretty red brick buildings...

maybe it's the home of Harvard University...

maybe it's the pizza i had which was simply awesome...

i will go back again for a trip again!!
