A Perfect Saturday (November 25, 2006)

FIRST SNOW IN BEIJING:


"Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!"


"I'm Dreaming of a White..."

DINNER WITH MY AUNT (MOM'S SISTER):

My aunt and me

Our food

This was a great day! We (Adam, Jacin, Tracy, Jerry, etc) were originally planning to go to the Summer Palace but it was too cold! And then when I looked outside at 7:50 AM, it was snowing!!! I was so excited! I even called up Adam and woke him up to share my excitement! Haha. I also sent a lot of text messages expressing my happiness! The snow didn't last long and it was freezing but it was SO MAGICAL!

Anyways, since I didn't go to the "Summer Palace" (and there's a reason its called the "Summer" palace), I decided to go visit my Aunt Gloria since she was in town for a business meeting at Zhenglin. Xiao Ding came to pick me up and we meet up with my aunt in Haidian District. I forgot the name of the restaurant. All I know is that it was Cantonese style and rather upscale. Here's the website: http://www.xeq.com.cn/

Afterwards, my aunt gave me three big bags of goodies that came from my aunt, my mom and my sister!!! This included books, winter clothes and shoes, lotion, chapstick, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and some jewelry products!!! I was SO HAPPY!

It was simply a perfect day! =)

(Unfortunately, the next day was not...since I got a cold!!)
