brushing pass strangers, she turned her head slightly while walking towards the station. she was in a hurry. but she too felt a jolt of shocking sensation as a strong but familiar scent captivated her mind momentarily. it made her forget about her next destination and everyone that passed by her. standing in the middle of the crowd, she wants the scent to take over, and guide her into finding the source. she knew it was impossible to find it, but her emotion took charge, not her mind. she scan through everyone, and look for every possible hint. moments had passed, she knew she was late, but she did not care at all. this was more important to her than any other things. she searched, but in vain. it’s time to give up, she told herself, and she did. feeling rather dejected, she turned around and lifted her head. her prayers were answered, she found what she was looking for. she lifted her right hand for a small wave, she was greeted by the warmest smile in the world. she felt contented, for the moment.
i am just excited about the coldplay concert that i will be going later. i am not too big of a fan, but i just love their songs. somehow, i think their songs are wickedly good. if only you know what i meant.
okay, i shall post some pictures later, if i ever take any. =D
after a busy spring semester, i am finally done with my second last semester. in fact, i am back from a trip with my family. it was full with fun and frustration.
i still can’t believe it’s finally summer and having my first summer in the states. it’s almost raining everyday. however, i won’t complain too much about the weather. i think anything is better than the bitterly cold winter. really, i am enjoying the summertime.
since i am only taking online classes, i have plenty of time and i am thinking of ways to fully utilize my time. my main activity during weekdays is is work in the morning and afternoon in the library and spend my evening and night with my housemates. occasionally, i would do some art work like painting, photo art etc.
so if you ever stumble upon this blog, leave me a message on how you spend your summer. i just love to hear different stories. thank you and have a wonderful day!
don’t you just love spring? it’s a season full of hopes and fun.
to me, spring is just lovely. though it rains constantly here in des moines, but without rain, flowers won’t blossom.
in just 3 weeks time, i am saying goodbye to my friends. everyone will be heading towards different direction, and that makes me sad.
but i guess it’s for our better future. no matter where you are, please remember this memories that we shared before, okay??
seriously, i can’t wait for relays.
at least i have something to look forward to this weekend. and maybe heading to block party too. isn’t life fun?? =D
say hello to team universal
i think i spent the best weekend ever. though it was pretty busy, but nevertheless, i had plenty of fun.
on thursday, we had a heated election to decide the new MASA committee. then on friday, i went to a sand v-ball comptetition in the morning and street painting in the afternoon. and yesterday, i went to catch the relays parade just somewhere near in front of my house.
i can’t wait for relays. it’s happening this week and i’m saying hello to my big fat juicy turkey drumstick. =D
somehow, someway, somewhat,
i am wishing to someone,
wanting to run away from someplace,
willing to sacrifice something,
just because.
so i suggested a project before graduating, and everyone is being supportive, which was not what i expected it to be. anyhow, i just want to shout out to everyone for supporting this idea.
you must be wondering what is the project all about. well, i have a plan to shoot pictures of everyone graduating this year and put them into a nice album. it will be tough shooting everyone, since my skills is still lacking in many areas. however, i am getting extremely excited about this and can’t wait to start shooting soon. i should start shooting portraits soon!!
Wan Ye & The Madison Capitol
oooh, and say hello to my first ever model aka my housemate. =D
so, over the spring break, i went to visit university of wisconsin, madison with my housemate. compared to drake, the uni is way much more bigger.
i stayed with my housemate’s friends and i made some new friends along the way. they are just awesome and nice people. i got a chance to go on a campus tour, but sadly, i did not finish walking the whole university due to its hugeness. however, i did catch a glimpse of some really nice scenery and decided to captured them with my camera. please don’t expect too much, those pictures are way far from perfection.
Capitol of Madison
the outside and inside of capitol are beautiful. i like the white exterior and ancient interior of the capitol. i wish i could put some pictures of the interior of the capitol, but i did not have nice pictures to put up. so all i can do is to describe. the inside almost reminded me of an art gallery, seriously. if you can ever imagine a huge mansion during those baroque time, that’s how it looks like. the funny thing is, i have never been to the capitol of des moines, yet i went inside of madison’s. i really need to visit des moines’.
State Street
and state street, is really quite a beautiful street itself. packed with rows and rows of shops, and each shop has different stories to tell. what you can see from the picture is one signboard that reads ‘orpheum’. according to the tour guide, it is a theatre and the oldest in wisconsin. that tells how far the street dated back. it is no surprise the street sort of resembles an ancient street from the european countries.
well, i do apologize that i only have 2 pictures to show. i wish i could take more but my stay in madison wasn’t that long to begin with. and i reminded to take pictures of monona and mendota lakes. but really, it was too cold that day to even put my hand out, what more holding a camera. also, you might think i am exegerating in describing the landmarks. my only advice is that you have to see for yourself to believe what i said.
i really wish i could explore more places in madison. but oh well, i guess there are still some other times to stay longer. my next stop will be nebraska, lincoln for an actuarial exchange program. and hopefully, more place to explore in the future, especially the beautiful city of seattle.
