Just wanna show you guys something really cool... Yesterday, I drove mom and Uncle Steve to Costco.. This place where they sell everything in bulk and at a really cheap rate.. Then as I was about to drive back, I saw this stretch of beautiful houses by the side of the hill.. They call it a condo here but it's more like a bungalow.. Or some people in Singapore will call it a semi-detached or a terrace.. Anyway I'm really curious and really anxious to go take a look inside.. So we droove up and took a look at the open house.. It's really gorgeous.. i love the interior alot.. Moreover, this property doesn't have a lawn or a back yard.. So you dun have to do so much yardwork.. The main thing I love about this place is the view.. I've got 2 videos from the balcony and the driveway.. See and tell me what you think!!! Hopefully I can buy one house like that some day.. hahah..

here you go..

Hey dudes!! As some people may say, as easy as 1,2,3!! Guess wad!! Today's the hundred and twenty third day I'm in Seattle.. Gosh. Imagine how long we're been apart..

Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday.. Just wanna take this opportunity to wish him HAPPY BIRTHDAY and All the best in his endeavours... Also wish for him to have a good health and a long long life.. I love him SoOoOoOoOo much!! I think I'm gonna call him later and wish him Happy Birthday!! hahah.. Like a little surprise..

Anyway I'm really so sorry for not updating in such a long time.. Been feeling really lazy these days.. lol.. Although I haven't been updating my blog, that doesn't mean that I forgotten you guys already.. I'm constantly thinking about you guys and really wish to see you all soon.. Looking forward to seeing Nicole(march) , KL (dec) and Johnson (dec).. ahhaha.. In fact, I can't wait for ANYONE to come visit me over here...Also, I kept like imagining what's gonna happen when i go back to Singapore.. Like will there be anyone there to meet me? Anyone to bring me around? I mean the new places.. Like VIVO city.. So far, I've been there twice when like most of the stores JUST opened and kinda empty.. I bet now it's fantastic!! : )

Can't wait for you guys to come over here.. So many things and experiences to share with you guys.. We can go snowboarding, sledding, camping, hiking, horse-riding, gun-range and many more.. Even the thought of it make my heart like leap a little and beat a little faster.. ARGH.. Can't wait.. hahaha..

Wanna thank Elaine for her pretty Lunar New Year card too.. It's really pretty and i appreciate all the effort that went into making tht card.. As usual, Laine always put in alot of effort into making stuff for others.. How sweet is tht!?!? And anyway Elaine, I do get 'red packets'.. But only from my MOM!! whahhaha..

If you guys wanna know how i spent my CNY, I can tell ya from the back of my mind.. I practically spent my whole CNY at home.. Except on Sunday, I went to Tyler's place and stayed over.. Had a really good time at his place.. Then on Monday, which was a public holiday here, we went to watch Ghost Rider... Quite a nice movie.. Enjoyed it.. After that, I went home and gotta go to school on Tuesday(which really sucked).. This week's suppose to be President's Week.. Tyler and others got like a WHOLE week of break!!! That's sooooo UNFAIR!!! But i guess that's a good thing.. This means this quarter will end earlier!! ahha..

Had a meeting with the science advisor and talked to her about my plans for the following quarters.. I think I might be taking Music again next quarter and Math.. But the irritating problem is the Chem.. I've no idea what is my level over here.. They have a Chem 101 and a Chem 140.. I'm afraid that the Chem 140 will be too tough for me and at the same time, I'm afraid Chem 101 will be too easy for me and im like wasting my time.. You know what i mean?? Can you guys see this pressing situation I'm in? I think we discussed and decided to take the Chem 101.. Better to have a better foundation for my Chem... (sigh)..

Right now I'm like trying to type as much as I can to make up for all the missing days.. Let's see.... Hmmmm.. er.... You guys should start watching "The Simpsons".. It's so funny.. It's been such a long time since i've watched "Spongebob Squarepants"... Kinda miss "Patrick"... lol.. OH!! Talking about that, I'm wearing "Spongebob" boxers right now!!! Opps.. Too much information.. whahhaha..

Ok.. I think you guys must be seeing stars now.. Too much text in one post.. So i'm just going to stop here and will updated mroe later!! I love you guys!!

Anyway I received this email from I-Chun.. This crazy gal I've know for like years back before she went back to taiwan.. Miss this gal alot.. We had so much fun back then.. I think she's doing pretty well now in Taiwan and she still remembers me.. So sweet of her.. So here goes..

> His thoughts turned to those who had stolen his things and cheated him
> He remembered family that had passed on. His mind turned to the illness

> Standing there this day, searching for answers he could not find,

Lord. I didn't deserve these wrongs that were

> My anger is so deep Lord, I fear I may not hear you, but I pray that you

> As he knelt there in the quiet shade of that old oak tree, he felt

This year's gonna be so different.. No more red packets.. No more "Bak Kuah".. No more Chinese new year goodies... No more "New Year" clothes and stuff.. All these stuff are a thing of the past..

Over here, Saturday's jus another normal day.. I guess people still do celebrate Chinese New Year.. I even heard from David that there's gonna be fireworks in Downtown Seattle.. I think Chinese New Year's a really big thing to the buddhists over here.. I think they need to go to the temple or something..

This weekend's gonna be a little longer than usual.. Monday's President Day.. So the highschool students get a whole week of break.. While I, get a day off.. Lol.. Just Monday.. Oh Man... It's better than nothing I guess..

Another thing is, I dun have any plan for this whole weekend... So I'm kinda not looking forward to it.. haha.. Hopefully I will have some plans for the weekend.. Maybe I'll go play tennis with Tyler or something else.. ahha..

I miss you guys so much and love you all...

God bless everyone!!

Love,
Kenneth

Oh my gooderness!! It's been like 5 days since i updated my blog.. You guys must be thinking im like dead or something right? lol.. Another thing... HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Anyway the stress that i was talking about earlier has died down again.. Now im as carefree as a dove.. lol.. And now instead of spending most of my time alone in the computer lab, I've been hanging out with the Vietnamnese guy and some other ppl.. Also had some group meetings here and there for my sociology class..

Everyday I will spend about an hour helping David... He really needs my help in maths and im more than willing to help.. Sort of revising at the same time.. I just found out that Uncle Steve and Mom will be coming back on Sunday instead of today... And I received a email from Uncle Steve saying that I can register for the spring quarter on the 26th of Feb.. Who in the right mind will register tht early?? hahah.. Anyway i think i will discuss with David and maybe take the same class next quarter.. This way, I wont be lonely.. hahah..

And here is a picture from this mexican retaurant we went.. Tyler and Me!!



Love you all!!

Peace out!!

Today's the 110th day since we all met.. And I'm really missing you guys so much.. Looking through all the fabulous gifts from you guys are making it worse.. My heart feels kinda painful and memories came flashing past my eyes... Making it somehow tear a little bit..

Forget about that.. Now to update you guys about what's going on.. Currently im suddenly feeling the pressure from school.. Although it's really jus a little... I've got this Sociology project that we gotta start working on.. So many group meetings and discussion happening.. I dun think i've got much of a problem with Math though.. Been handing in all my assignments and doing quite well in Maths.. English's another thing.. I'm kinda lazy to do my drafts and each drafts are like worth 50 points.. It's not that the essay is hard or anything.. It's just that im too lazy to start writing.. Keep waiting till the last minute..

Another thing i gotta tell ya guys.. i got to know this cool dude from my maths class.. He's vietnamnese and we get along very well together.. So like everyday after class we would do homework or chit chat till he has to go for his class.. Im kinda glad i found someone to talk to.. Tht way, i'm like making sure i have sufficient maths practice everyday.. haaha..And he's really cool too.. Like we talk about aliens and UFO's and politics and all sorts of rubbish.. I found out he loves to play poker too!! Plays poker every fri with his friends.. And he's sort of a TV addict.. whahah.. Loves to watch History channel and documentaries... Just like mi.. whahha.. Anyway that all about him in a nutshell.. BTW, his name is simply David...

But dun think i forgot all my singgies... ahhah.. Nothing can replace the position you guys hold in my heart.. The impact you guys did on me is too great... I love you all...

Hey people!! So sorry for not updating for such a long.. Anyway.. Guess wad!! I've crossed the hundred day in Seattle.. Today's officially the 103th day im here. Cant'believe it..

Anyway recently alot has been going on.. And furthermore, I'm like so lazy to blog now.. So much for blogging twice a day.. hahah..So I'll stop talking about this crap and get on with it.

First up, yesterday was Uncle Steve's birthday.. HAPPY 52nd BIRTHDAY TO HIM!!! La la la~~~ Next up is my mom's.. Which is like exactly a week away from his.. On the 8th of Feb..(why does all the birthday be so close together?) At first i was thinking of sharing money with Granny and but them 2 tickets to see a play or musical.. But they're gonna go to California on Sunday and spent like a weeek or so over there.. So they cant make it.. In the end, I'm gonna buy them tickets to my school Jazz Band concert this Saturday... Kinda cheapo but the BCC Jazz Band's really really good.. And they love Jazz anyway.. lol.. Mom got him a black forest cake from somewhere close to her workplace.. I dun think it tastes very good.. I had MUCH better black forest cake in Singapore.. When the band people celebrated my b'day.. lol.. How i wish i can turn back time and relive that moment.. whahhaha..

Next, a saddening news that I have to tell you guys......................................................................................................................................................................
