| 礼拜天， 我去书店逛了一下.
发现好像很久没看中文了, 但是书店只有十几本中文书，所以就决定买朱自清的散文集.
是旧书，七块钱, 原价是二十, 心想, 不错啊.
走回家路途中,突然想起是二十人民币! 我竟然花了五十买了本旧书!!!!! 超笨!

| I had been taking pottery class in the HUB. So today was my last class. I have 5 pieces of clay! Distorted but ok. Usually, if I planned to make a mug it became a bowl or if i wanted a vase, 90% it just collapsed. I think it's my problem but i like to blame it on my instructor.
I just got back my confidence to continue with my graduate work again. Now I need to decide if I should stick with pepper mint flavor or choose a funky peanut butter flavor.
I get bored too easily. Never stay long enough in anything and therefore never good in anything.
What is new in my life?

Just want to say thank you for everyone who showed up in Players last Thursday. There was no one in the club, and just 13 of us dancing on the floor. I always get little bit sensitive on my birthday but in the end everything was cool. Big xiexie to yee mey and vicky who came all the way from Philly. I went bouldering again on my birthday with my new rock climbing shoes. The shoes, oh god, sooo weird, they just stick to the rock.....Josh finally came back for my birthday after 14 months of traveling. I am trying to fatten him up, but in the end, i think i am the one who is putting on weight. I guess its good for me too. Everything has been sweet. So happy that he is with me now. I have the best family, best friends, best boyfriend, good food... i already have everything! | | |

By the time I arrived at my hostel in Barcelona, I saw cops everywhere. Guess what! My sister just got robbed! So this is the story. This italian guy pretended that he was looking for his ring, asked Sheau Wei if he could go into the room and look for his ring. She said yea. So he went in, pushed SW away, took 400 sing dollars from my sister's wallet and her camera, then ran away. At that time my sister was using computer downstairs. SW shouted to her "hey he took your money!" My sister asked " oh how much?" "All the money!" only then, my sister started chasing him. Luckily, an employee from the hostel got him and my sister got back everything. Something worse could probably happen that day but i thought the whole incident was pretty funny. We had a good laugh after that.
This artsy place had a lots of very interesting clothes and jewelries. We also spent a day visiting all Gaudi's buildings. I dont have the pictures with me yet.
Graffiti on every door.
I love how every building was painted. so messy.
My traveling buddies for this trip - my sister Liyi and my high school best friend Sheau Wei.
We took an overnight bus down south to Valencia.
g
Valencia was very famous for paella (somekind of rice dish). We attended this cooking class on the roof of a hostel. Got to learn to make and eat chicken/rabbit paella and drink Sangria.
Watching 32th America's Cup. (Yacht racing) We were cheering for NZ (because of Josh)
I bought a cap.
vd
Waiting for the sailors.
Two teams in the final are NZ's Emirates and Italy's Luna Rossa something.
f
After Valencia, we took as night bus to Granada. This is a view from St Nicolas.
Alhambra and Sierra Nevada. Granada's my favourite place for the whole trip.
f
A closer look.
f
Wandering in the arabic neighborhood. This neighborhood is actually one of the world heritage.
f
The Generalife of Alhambra.
Liyi in the garden. This place smelled really really good!!!
Finally, we climbed up to the fortress.( Part of Alhambra)
I just could not get enough of the view. Too bad Sierra Nevada could not be seen from here.
Then, I found the better spot.
I like those mushroom-head-plants along the corridor.
Malaga was about 2 hours form Granada. Again, we climbed up another alcazaba.
 
Sevilla was another 2 hours from Malaga. This was the famous spot for wedding couples to take pictures.
Grocery shopping in Sevilla! I bought some Cola Cao and paella spices. The girls were having fun touching meat.
Awesome Flamenco dancers.
A night view of Alhambra.
We flew back to Barcelona from Sevilla. This time se visited Joan Miro
foundation !!! (I love Joan Miro's works) Some funny posts in front of the museum.
After that, we went up to this place in a cable car.
Without wasting anytime, we bought tickets to watch bull fighting.
It was not really a fighting. The picture shows the picador stabbing the bull's neck. Probably like 6 times. Finally, the bull fell and vomited lots of blood. Then, one person stabbed on its head twice.
The dead body was dragged away and the crowd cheered. 6 bulls would be kill in each game. We only stayed for 30 min. My sister was in tears already after the first bull was killed. It's really strange to find this game to be so popular in a modern society.

Hiking.
Good weather for BBQ.
 I went bouldering with Iza and her friends at Huntingdon yesterday. These ppl are experts except me hahaha
 
It's actually really fun!Ｉam thinking to get a pair of rock climbing shoes.
