Georgia Aquarium: I went to sea Fish.

Yeah I know I spelled "see" wrong, but I thought it was a good pun :) Ok.. it wasn't.

I went to the Georgia Aquarium this week. I finally got a break from school work and a chance to use my awesome, super-expensive-that-I-used -all- my - money- I-don't-have-money-for-food camera. It probably was a irrational decision to sacrifice my food money to get a camera, but when I'm stressed, I really have no reasoning. Oh well, I just have to use it as much as possible!

 The pictures I took were pretty disappointing because the glass used for the tanks would reflect and make the pictures blurry. Also, I'm realizing how horrible blogspot is for adding pictures. I can't organize them! I just have to put them in a uniform line. I guess I should start hunting for new templates available for blogspot... in summer. 

I got pretty decent photos of fish and crabs that didn't move. Hurray me! 




Cute fish bro! 


American aquarium is definitely a different scale from Asian ones. Guess what I found? The biggest mammal living IN a TANK. There were around 3 whale shark. It was pretty amazing. I would have liked to look at them more but I was getting pretty tired. 


This was the only decent photo of all the fishes together -.- Gosh, fish aren't very cooperative when your taking photos. Especially the fat ugly one below the shark.... He kept coming in front of the stingrays, sharks, whale shark etc. I guess inside he was born as a star -.-

World of Coca Cola

After doing extremely bad on my test due to my failure in time management, I decided to go to the world of coca cola. I really needed a break from all the school work. I thought I would go crazy.

So, we left around 11 am. We walked as nobody owned a car. It was pretty refreshing. We arrived there around 11:30 am and entered the world of coke. I've been to the older one when I was little, but it was my first time going to the new world of coke.

It was interesting. It had a lot of art related to coke. They offered couple of movies. Plus, I got to take a picture with the polar bear, which made my day <3! The only thing that bothered me was they overemphasized on the "secret formula" of coke... I feel like I was in watching spongbob square pants, except instead of a secret formula of crabby patties, it was coke.

This was the waiting room for the first stage. We had to wait 5 min here but the tv was distracting enough to bring patience.


I found a Korean sign among the many. I felt proud lol. (There's my Korean Pride again sign..)


I actually liked the Japanese flavor more when we were tasting different products from various parts of the world. It takes really veggie and sweet. It tasted cleaner then other soft drinks.


Then, there was beverly... I drank it. I swallowed. I almost puked. I felt dizzy. Thanks!


There were tons of arts on coke. I should have taken more pictures, but I'm still a amateur photographer -.-


After world of coke it was lunch time. I was starving ..... I usually want to eat something really badly at 11am but we were inside the world of coke. We went for a sea food restaurant. It was effing expensive. Well, I really didn't feel like caring so I started ordering away.

The waiter asked if we would like drinks. I just showed him my admission ticket to world of coke.  He laughed and gave us water :)

I ordered the shrimp cocktail. Yummy stuff except I expected like 10 pieces of shrimp.. not 5 lol.


Still I got more shrimp for my main dish which was jasmine delight or something like that. Basically underneath the shrimp there is jasmine rice :) It was very good. I mean it was simple, but compared to what I have been eating, it tasted relatively better.


After eating, I had to pay an expensive bill. I wasn't sure if it was worth it honestly. I had mixed feelings. I mean the food was decent and the atmosphere was pleasant. Except the cost was as much -.- Plus you have to tip in America... I really don't like tipping. (Doesn't mean I don't tip) Its just that tipping for pouring water twice and bringing your food seems too generous. I don't mind the Korean system where we just go get our food and water. Its really not that much work :) Oh well, in Rome do as the Romans do

Pho on a rainy day!

I've been down lately. I really hate to do school work because I'm doing a major that I don't funny enjoy. I'm just bad at it lol. In the future, I'm all geared to doing mba so I can escape my current life. However, for now I have to live in this hell hole... Luckily my friend was nice enough to call me for pho! It felt really nice to go out :)

I really appreciate pho. Eating it makes me feel a lot better!
Oh I love wraps too. Probably the only wraps I like because I usually hate the wrap skins, but these wraps are awesome. [I don't like wheaty things like bread, wraps, etc]



-.- I think the only reason I've been sane is because I've had a violin. I suck at it, but practicing it makes me somewhat relieved............ I quit violin cause my mom gave me a crappy one to use. Right now I've bought a shiny one so I really want to play rather than study lol!

Maybe I'll upload a song if I am actually ok with it <3
