First Day of School

I have one class with Carolina this morning. It should be fun taking class with her. So glad that there is another girl in the engineering class. Then I had a math class, Complex Variables, sounds like fun huh? There were 6 of us in the class, and 4 of us are in ME which is quite surprising, I thought only Math major or some one like me need to take a advance math class to be math elective need to take that class. And at night, I had a lab class, which is a "lot of work to do" class, plus, there are lots of curve-killers in my class, means, less chance getting As in that class. :( So I had a long break between 2 classes, so I casted on the Monkey Socks with the Cherry Tree Hill yarn and size 1 knitpicks needles in school. Of course I am using my favorite magic loop method.


Finally I finished the microwave cover last night.

Anniversary Dinner

Finally, Andrew and I had time to go for our anniversary dinner. We went to East, my (used to) favorite restaurant. It has changed it's menu a bit, so I am not sure if it's still my favorite restaurant anymore, but it's still great! We had pot stickers as appetizer, then sushi and sashimi combo for two, and then fried icecream (must have) as dessert. We enjoyed the dinner very much. Then we went home and watched Hot Fuss. Very funny.



As for knitting, I finally have time to take/post some pictures. I haven't been knitting a lot, but here are some progress of my projects. First is the Oversized Lace Top. Please tell me if you see 2 colors of the top. I know, I am so annoying... ok, I will quit it. The left piece in the picture is the back of the Top, and I just passed the armholes on the front piece. Hopefully, I can finish it soon.



Then it's the microwave cover. Only couple inches left, and it will be done. And I will cast on my monkey socks... wait or should I finish my MS3? But I do need something to knit during SnB, and MS3 is not a project that I could do that. So, decision made, Monkey socks then!


And what else is exciting? Going back to school tomorrow of course. I panicked yesterday. I couldn't find my pencil bag which was holding all of my favorite hello kitty pens, and my tiny cute stapler which got so many "aww... it's so cute". After 10,000 hours later, I found it in my knitting bag. Why did I put it there? I really don't know. But I know I am all ready for school!

By the way, did anyone try to use the posting video function in blogger? I have tried, and never success!

fun weekend

Thursday was my 4th year wedding anniversary. Andrew took me out for dinner and watch a movie. We had our dinner at foodcourt in the mall, very romantic. Actually, I don't mind at all since I know he will take me to some place nicer later. Then we watched Stardust. It was nice, suitable for our anniversary. It you like the Prince's Bride, you will like Stardust too. Of course, I have missed SnB that night.

Then Andrew had some friends from work came over to watch UFC on Friday night. Violence? I am ok with that. Plus there were lots of food for the fight party. Ken bought ribs from Uncle Willies, Jeff bought chicken wings, Sean and Debroah bought chips and wine. And I bought sushi.

On Saturday night, we went to Carolina's house for another BBQ(one on last week). I had marinated some chicken wings on Friday night and brought over for Carolina's bbq. Besides wings, we had burgers, hot dogs, chips and beer! After eating all the food, we play Wii. If you have a Wii, "Mario Party 8" is a must buy for a party. We, Carolina, Bijal, Miguel, Dave and I, tried to have a little fun before the school starts which is on Wednesday. Man, I can't wait for it starts!!

Today, Sunday, We continuely celebrating our anniversary. We went to watch a movie again, we saw Harry Potter. All the HP fans, I am sorry, but I don't think I like the movie. I almost felt asleep at some points. Then we went home and took care of some stuff. Around 6pm, we headed out and tried to go to East for our anniversary dinner. We drove all the way to Milford, about 6 miles(hehehe), and it was CLOSED!!! They close on Sunday. OK, then we went home and had our leftover ribs for dinner tonight. Oh and we watched the movie Perfume while having our dinner. Weird movie, not recommanded.

So, our plan is going to East for dinner tomorrow night. We will see if it will happen or not...

Summer break is almost over.

I have been very tired lately. I have been busy at work. The last several weeks, I have been going to work at 7am and getting off work at 5pm, AND I go to bed at the regular time which is after mid-night. Basically, I only get 5-6 hours sleep everyday. I am not complaining since I know I am a night owl, I just can't go to bed at 10pm. And it seems I don't have problem getting up early. But I have noticed that I have been drinking at least 3 cups of coffee a day. Still not complaining, I love coffee anyway. I am complaining that I don't have much time to finish cleaning up the basement or to knit. I haven't touched my MS3 for maybe 3 weeks, and I still haven't finished the Oversized Lace Top. Summer is leaving, which means I am having less and less time to wear that lace top. Oh well. And I have let the "2 colors" problem in the lace top go already.

As I was saying we got a new camera, it's not a fancy one, but it does its jobs, and I am loving it! Here are some test pictures Andrew and I took.

Spoiled me

I am so spoiled... I got up this morning, I felt like I wanted to call in sick, so tired. Then the first think came into my mind was "um... Starbucks white cholocate mocha..." (not orange mocha fappachino). So, this morning, I got a Starbucks coffee AND a banana chocolate chip coffee cake. I have never had that before, it's so goooood that it makes my day. Although it's a fatty and expensive breakfast, but somedays you just want to treat yourself with something special!

I am so spoiled... After I broke my old camera on Saturday night, I got my new camera yesterday. Yay!!!

As knitting, I don't have much progress in anything. I had a busy weekend, though I went to SnB on Sunday. School starts of the 29th, but my Thursday night class doesn't start until September 13th, so I can still go to SnB Thursday night meeting for couple more weeks. Then I will start going to Sunday meetings.

No pictures today, but I am sure there will be in my next post. hehehe
