Thanksgiving 2010

This thanksgiving has been an eventful one. With friends, road trip, birthday party and homework!!!

The thanksgiving break started on Wednesday but it only started officially on Thursday for me because I still needa worked on Wednesday.

On Wednesday night, we celebrated CE's birthday with games, birthday cake and lots of fun. The girls are really good in cooking and I am so blessed with all the good food. They stayed until very late but I came back earlier to prepare for my road trip the next day. *excited*

On Thursday morning, I set off for a road trip to Columbus, Ohio with a few friends from Hong Kong and Taiwan whom I just met at the Chi Alpha thanksgiving dinner that are from the Chinese church.

We rented a car and drove more than 4 hours to Columbus. It was a relatively long journey but we had fun in the car interacting with each other. Laughing, singing and just to get to know each other better. We talked a lot about our countries too. And I got the chance to practice my Cantonese with the Hong Kong people. ^^

It was raining the whole day on Thursday and many restaurants were closed due to thanksgiving. After checking in at our hotel, we literally had no where else to go. We spent such a long time trying to find a restaurant where we can go to have dinner.

We really thought that we had to just eat the cup noodles and snacks we brought for thanksgiving dinner.

But thank God that He is faithful.

Finally, we managed to find a restaurant. A really good one! And had so much good food! Mum mum.... Hmmm....

After dinner, we went back to our hotel and played some games before calling it a night.

The next day, I woke up real early and went for a walk around the campus on my own while the others were still sleeping. lol. The campus is really quiet and peaceful during a break like this. I enjoy quiet time like this when I can spend time with the Lord and praising Him for all His beautiful creations. =)

Around 12pm, we checked out of our hotel and continued our adventure.

First, we went to a Japanese restaurant and had sushi. We ordered a boat full of sushi besides our own meal (ramen or udon or bento). Arrr... So blissful!

Next, we went to the Columbus Zoo! Since I had been there before, I automatically became the tour guide. Haha. I think we had such a great time there! =D
We left the zoo around 5pm when the sky began to turn dark and the decoration lights were lit up all around the zoo. It was so beautiful. Many families went there in the evening just to enjoy the festive atmosphere.

Next, food again!!!!

We went to a Korean restaurant this time for shabu shabu. We met a Hong Kong waitress over there and the Hong Kong people were happily chatting with each other in Cantonese. Lol.

Next,
Highlight of the night: KARAOKE!!!

It has been a long time since I last karaoke-d. Remember last time when I was in Malaysia, karaoke is the most popular past time among friends. Therefore, I was very excited when I found out that we were going to karaoke. And surely, I had such an awesome time singing my lung out. Haha xD

We sang until 1am in the morning and had our supper with McD 2 x 50 McNuggets! Yum yum..

Then we drove home and waved bye bye to Columbus =)


Now back in West Lala, I need to rush and finish my homework and study for my quiz T.T
