My Sad Feeling

It is really hard to hear that your best friend went through a really hard time and made a selfless life time decision. When I heard the news from her, I was shocked but never thought I would be so sad for her. I thought about what she said over and over and finally it made me cry. I don't know what I would do if I am in her position. People make mistakes with the consequence that we never know. But when a best friend made ONLY a mistake and really changed her future life, I feel her pain and sadness. I want to be next to her to give a full moral support but I can't :(. I told her but I would be down in Indonesia to meet her in November, but because I just changed my last name and waiting for the new card, it gives me a risk to go back to United States. But I will call the USCIS (the government agency for immigration) if I am able to use my old card since I won't get my card in November. I only hope that she finds her happiness soon. Love you D!!!!! *Hugs and kisses*

Camping Trip

I, Sheldon, Yuli, Spencer, and Mr. Doodley went camping at Ocean City State Park. It is located 50 miles west of Olympia. The area is called Ocean Shores. The beaches are so nice... They get hard sand, so people can drive along the beaches. The view is awesome. The worst part is it was a wet weekend. On Saturday, it was raining most of the day and we finally decided to spend the evening at Quinault Casino next to the campsite hihihihihi.... I wasn't in the mood for gambling, but rather than bored, I planned to spend $20 on 1 cents and 5 cents machine. I guess that night was my night... I won $60 on those machines :D... never been in my life winning so much money on 1 cents machine. So here are some pictures from our camping trip:

It is my and Sheldon's tent... Sheldon was smart, he brought an air matress, blankets, pillows, body pillows :D.....

Walking from the campsite to the beach... I love the color combination of blue sky and green grass

Enjoy the bon fire under the rain... looks melancholic huh?


The view of Ocean Shores in the morning

The rest of the pictures were taken during sunset... I love this place, I absolutely will be back for another camping trip...

View from the highest building in Seattle

Last June, Early invited me and Sheldon to her wedding party on the 75th floor of Columbia Tower. It is the highest building in Seattle. As expected, the view is awesome. But the most awesome view can only be seen from women restroom :)... I took some pictures from the restroom to share with all of u...

Ayu's little garden

Last weekend, I asked Yuli to accompany me to go to Molbaks, a nice nursery in Woodinville area. I am not a big fan of plants and flowers, but looking at Sheldon's little garden in front of our house makes me want to learn about gardening. Well, I know as a beginner, I may kill a lot of plants and flowers, so I decide to have a "little garden" in a pot :)... Here's some pics of the flowers...

My new little garden

Hydrangea; I love this plant from the first time I saw it. I did not plan to buy it but I could not resist :)... the shape, the color is just so niceeeeeeeeeee

My herbs garden; orange mint, sweet basil and parsley in the big pot and marjoram in the small pot

One week after buying the flowers. Surprisingly they survive :D... the two blooming red dahlias are getting dry, but more flowers are blooming now. The plant on upper right side is so funny. The flowers bloom in the day time, and looks dying in the night time.

Ayu's first blog
