Dinosaurs, Sea Creatures, and Dessert Pizza
So today was our day off. A very needed day off.
The girls (Christa, Steph, and Viki) and I decided that the aquarium was a good idea for the day. We spend it looking at fish and such. We get all the way there and it is closed, for good. It wasn't supposed to be good anyway, but still.
We looked in the book and started to figure out what to do next. The planetarium was close so we starting walking. The book said to go right, go left, then left again and we would be there. We could have gone straight and saved ourselves 20 minutes, but oh well. We arrived just in time to see Dinosaurs attack at the IMAX theaters. I felt like I was going to throw up because of all the weird angles. At first we sat close but we all started to feel sick. We moved and it went a little bit better for me. I found I had to focus on the bottom of the screen or my shoes. The show lasted forty minutes and then we got a star show. The guy spoke in Chinese and sounded quite boring (Viki confirmed this).
On our way back to the MRT we stopped by a store selling sea animals such as fish and turtles. The turtles were no bigger my big toe. They were trying to get out of their boxes and one did. He somersaulted into the water. The other one tried but failed many times. Steph wanted to help it, but we let nature take its course. I'm sure he probably got over.
Later Chris, Viki, and I went to Pizza Hut and actually got dessert pizza (it's rare that they have dessert pizza even though they are supposed to).
All in all a good day off. To bad I've got to ruin it by going to school tomorrow.

Update
I forgot to tell old FuHsing teachers that Felicia left during Chinese New Year to move to Hong Kong with her boyfriend (so she won't be here when you come to visit Blondes). Also my day now starts at 8:15 (argh) but ends at 3:30 (yes!!!).
There is a break coming up in April for 4 days and I am thinking about going either to the Philippines or Bali.
I will be putting pictures from Mom's visit soon on the internet after I finish my lesson plans (that may take a while).
Got a new computer: A MacBook Pro. I have a love/hate relationship with it at the moment.
Countdown to the Backstreet Boys Minus One (not the official title) Concert: 13 days. I hope they open with Everybody (Backstreet is Back).
Here are some pictures from my vacation.
Mom and Darlene on the beach in front of the resort

Guess who I saw
