downtown

Went to visit the State capitol on Saturday. Finally, I got to see it and what's inside---supreme courts, history of oklahoma... all those american gov. stuffs... then, to our surprise, you can actually hold a birthday party there!!!

The dome shape of the capitol building reminded me of the architecture in italy.

I don't know why some people would think that visiting the state capitol is a waste of time and stupid... to me going to the mall is a more waste of time! I'm happy to finally be able to go to visit other places besides the malls at OKC. Now, I can say that I've been to Oklahoma!

but we did went for about an hour of shopping while waiting for the sky to get dark to go to downtown. We were at loss, following a bunch of people who turned out to be going to Ford center to watch some concert =.= But finally found the downtown and dissapointing it was to see that the night life had not begun (began at 9pm I supposed, we were there till 8pm). Not that i'm into the night life, but if the place were buzzing with people, you could soak in the atmosphere, like in san antonio.

Anyway, we searched for some places to eat dinner, but thought of the price then decided to go somewhere else. We went to Olive Garden! finally get to eat at olive garden. haha... italian food. But when I looked through the menu, I got a little "xian" of the food there as some of the pasta can be found at pistol pizza... may be it's nicer (the alfredo was nicer, duh! ) but i still it's somewhat the same type. so went on to have a "meal set" consisted of lasagna, alfredo pasta and chicken parma... (dunno how to spell >.<)

oh, we went to cheesecake factory too!!! I like the caramel pecan cheesecake! I think it's about ordering the right cake for your taste bud.

i don't even know where to start now that i have stopped blogging for a long time.

On feb 23, we had International bazzar. Went rather well for us. People came in throngs at times and the number were more than expected!

Came march, more exams before my spring break! Still unsure where to go, but i definitely not spending a week of break here in stillwater. I need a break not only from the hectic yet monotonous days of college, but also from the contrasting slow-pace, quiet, jaded city of stillwater. Hence, i need to get out! haha...

cultural night... i just want to be "backstage helper' and/or the audience now. After last year, for me if i were to take part, i want to dance. Not that i like to dance. I totally hate it! and can't dance, but if i were to be on the stage, i might as well go all out and dance! I dont' want to just sit there and stone in a traditional costume and heavy make up. No more of that for me. Once is enough. I'm trying to find ways to avoid their prying eyes and constant request. How do you turn down request from insistent people NICELY?

I gained a better understanding of myself thanks to my zhi. It's not a sudden revelation. I know it exist, but I chose to ignore it for many years, nonetheless unconsciously feedng it. With my anxiety and pessimism as its water and warmth/ sulight, it sprouted from a seed and bloomed into a plant. How far has the roots grow? Is it deep enough to not to be able to pull it off anymore?

I think the first thing I have to do is to stop it's growth. Stop feeding it! Step by step, it would hopefully wither and died... How long? It's hard to say. it takes time. Some are stronger than the other. I think this one would take a bit of time. it's been growing healthily for years.
