Updates....

By JiM91
Hey everyone...its been a while since i update this blog...and for many reasons...First is the internet connection...i knw US internet connection suppose to be fast yea...but sadly, for no reason why, my connection in my host family house is pretty slow...sometimes can be slower than the snailmyx....so, i planned to update it in the school library where internet is like super fast but havent got any chance doing that...2nd reason...this past 2 weeks has been really busy and tiring...loads of assignment to do, tennis practice and facebooking xD...i dunno why, but the main point is i was really tired...3rd...FURSTRATION...for your information, this is my 4th time trying to update this same post...1st time, i completely deleted it without saving it to the draft...2nd time, was happily doing it till suddenly the com lost power...and 3rd time, suddenly connection lost...*sigh* didnt have the mood to do it...

But, here i am writing this post hoping this time nothing bad is going to happen cause i spend LOADS of time just uploading the pics because of the connection and also the photo size...
Hmmm....how should i start...SPRING!!!!!!!! Yea, as said in earlier post, spring is here...and its been even beautiful....


Flowers blooming, birds chirping away, blue skies and also *best thing of all* LESS RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!Oregon has a bad reputation for its bad weather...so hope, my luck from Malaysia can change something...but anyway, its just a nice place to be in the spring... :)




the best thing about spring is its flowers...


2 Weeks ago, my host parents brought me to the Oregon Coast at New Port...and the day was just fine...we couldn't have asked for better day than that day...the sky was blue, there was the perfect wind for us...just lovely...And the beach was beautiful...You (people in malaysia) might think this is nothing and i do agree...but you must realize that, this poor boy here havent seen sand or a beach for 4 months now...which normally back home see the coast every single day...and yea, i do think malaysian beaches are way better...

One thing sad that i have notice about the beaches here is that...you have this nice, beautiful, tempting sea in front of you which is perfect for surfing, swimming, snorkeling or do what ever water activity you can...BUT, no one does it....why? because the water is FREEZING cold! I would love to tell the people in oregon, nyak nye betul lah...xD, its just like having food but not able to eat it...haiz...kesian kesian...


dun ask me why, i have no idea why i put the shoe there....







After spending sometime at the coast...we went to the Aquarium...and yea it was good, but from my point of view, KLCC Aquaria is much much better...maybe because its new and this one is old...or maybe i just see most of the things which are there by just scuba diving...but something really attract me...SEA LIONS!!!!!! now...imagine this, me seeing sea lions and being so super excited about it is like someone go to malaysia and get so freaking excited about chickens...sea lions are like everywhere in the coast...there are at the dock, the port and around the boats...this one we saw it in the Aquarium...Oh ya, one thing about their aquarium, they have more weird stuff...















So, after looking at weird fishes and normal underwater thingy's...we went to have SEA FOOD...first first, it was indeed excited to be able to taste sea food at last...but, western style sea food is just not sea food...there is no connection in it...there is no click....tak ngam...argh!!! all this make me miss malaysian food (sea food especially) so so freaking much...fuhhh...tahan 2 more months then i will eat up the whole malaysia when i get back...

After that we went sight seeing...and this is one of the famous bridges in Oregon...






So that was 2 weeks ago...today, i did something really interesting...BALLOONING!!!! What the heck is that? HOT AIR BALLOON!!!!! Did i ride it?


I would awesomely love to but, i didn't...i crew for a Balloon pilot (means help the pilot set up and launch the balloon) and it was still loads of fun...and i was also one of the chasing crew...it was amazing...i mean, mana lah ada org malaysia pergi main belon kan? xD....tomorrow there will be another launch and this time, i might be lucky to join the ride with the pilot...hehehehehe...so hope for the best...Here are some awesome pics which i took while setting up the balloon, chasing it and also keeping it...
















this is after the balloon had land...and ready to be kept...


Hmmmm....what else to update you guys...Tennis....Tennis has been tiring and also challenging...loads of matches to come...which means more tired...but fun :)

Just came back from watching Dragon Ball the movie with friends...it was crappy...not the same as the cartoon...special effect pretty much sucks...story line, to simple...but its funny to see the crappy-ness of the crappy movie...

Been playing quite a bit of guitar...trying to find more time to practice...but, yea...not playing in a band for so long indeed has made my guitaring slopping down...really hard to keep the tempo constant these days and also the strumming...but, will do good once i get back home...









I guess thats all...wait...I CUT MY HAIR!!!! :P
so...till the next update...i better publish this quick before something else bad happens...there is no way i'm going to write this same post the 5th time...so chaoz!!! :)

again, dun ask about 'why is the shoe there'
