This is the REAL DEAL parked right there in the parking lot!
Wish I knew how to steal a bike...prob not. But maybe yea.. =)

Went to the Westfield mall right down the street
to hunt for some baby shower stuff & chillax w/ myself.
It's a really nice outdoor mall with higher-end stores.
And by the courtyard there are two interesting cows...
The one in the back has elephants painted on it...weird.

Well, now I know why Annie wants Pottery Barn kids!
I went in and really enjoyed looking around!
They've got real awesome decor for rooms!

I actually spent a couple hours hanging out with Victor.
Just learning some G-Tar and talking about music and worship.
He's like the awesomest man who's not tried 油條 yet!
I'm taking this ABC to 永和豆漿 this coming week fo sho!

That was my lunch on Tues - chicken over rice
from farmer's market's vendor. Good stuff.
Got a finals goodie bag from Origins friends!

Last exam tomorrow! I need to Ace this course or else I'll have to repent. It's a Jazz Music class and I'm loving it even though I need to memorize all the artists and their infos and their sounds!

Out of these 52 jazz artists, Art Tatum captured my attention the most. Why? 1) He's a jazz pianist and 2) His virtuosity and the speed of playing was jaw-dropping and 3) most importantly, he was blind in one eye and with limited vision in another. He died at age of 47. What is up with all these blind musicians that are super duper amazing?! Here's a YouTube of him playing.



All I have to say is, God really gives everyone different gifts. ahaha.... Praise Him for that.

blind eyes open you only live once.
open your eyes.
His love never fails. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
~Ephesians 2:10~
