wow. went to see some fireworks stuff at the space needle yesterday midnight. it was amazing. took fotos and video. really cool. it waws crazy, with so many people. lots of tourists people actually. hah. it was quite a quiet new year actually. doesn't matter. oh anyway, i didn't know how to pronounce the last letter of the alphabet. as in we were visiting my aunt at her workplace and getting name stickers. so i was spelling mine to the woman. "z h i k a i.." "could you spell that?" i was like what do you think i'm doing? then my cousins were like 'zzz'.(zee) thought we pronounced it more like zad. gee whatever. so slept later this morning. it's alos because it's so damn cold and you don't wanna get out. so i've been getting up closer to lunch these days. i don't like to wake up at noon really. okay, now there's like 'queer eye for the straight guy' on tv now. it's been on for like hours. think we encountered it in some compre brefore? forgot what it's about, but now it's just like 'total makeover by 5 gay guys'. ouch. no, not ouch about the show. ouch cuz i'm having a massive toothache. yes, toothache. something you think you'll never have. ouch.

happy new year people!! i have 13 more hours to go. well it's a nice non-rainy day for new year's eve here. decided to go exercise later..wow.

yesterday night, i heart blood come tide decided to try to make some food. so, i thought frying some hashbrowns isn't too difficult huh. but it was a bad mistake.. when they say preheat the pan, they mean preheat the pan. otherwise.. also, the instructions on the box does not work. really. so i ended up with some cooked and others burnt and uncooked ones. not to mention a burnt pan. you know how the oil become dirty after some use.. lesson i learnt is that go buy hashbrowns from outside. ok, enough about my inept culinary skills. went to buy clothes yesterday. the malls are like how big. actually individually not really, but they are all connected together so ya. some interesting shops there. i thing is hate is their 8.8% tax. which basically means you have to add in another close to 10 percent, which makes it some sort of negative discount. bah. at least their sales are real. that's the difference btwn sin and here. it's forever sales in back in sin. where the shops' name can be like "Clearance Sale". how not misleading. haha ok, well here you can tell the 50% off signs are so fresh they are handwritten and stuck up with tape. it's like all the christmas stuff is half-priced. and so which is good for some items, not those cards and the like. and one more good place to shop is the second-hand shops, where things are really cheap. and some are seriously good as new. and all are fashionable stuff. okok. the sun is shining outside and the weather is so damn good, i'm going running. btw i'm slowly uploading pictures. if i'm lucky it'll be done before i get back. hah. it really is very slow.
