My new project...

It has been a long long time I didn't knit, since 5 years ago- a scarft for my buibui. This year the cold weather visited MN earlier than usual, and I decided to knit one for an aunt here as X'mas gift. She is about 60 years old, instead everyone said she looks like 40 something, which I strongly agreed. Everyone loves her, for her kind, generous, noble-spirited, and beautiful heart. I got her a mixed-colors yarn, with the combination of blue, purple, pink, yellow and green. Just like her colorful and meaningful life! =)

Raspberry Cream Torte




If I would have a chance, I wish I can take a baking course in the future...


Early snow in the fall...


This year, we had snow earlier than the regular season, two snows within 3 days. Supposely, Oct is the season for beautiful orange-yellow leaves, but now we see the snow in the fall. As you can see from the picture, the trees are still green and red. A friend of mine said that we don't really have summer but fall, and no fall but winter in MN...which I think it is very true...I think...I'm a strong polar bear XD

Lousy driver with the GPS...

I do not drive oftenly after I came to St Cloud, it is not because my driving skill not good, but I have a very talented Ahmad-LKM, so I'm the talented passenger too :p I only drive very very short distance to the nearest grocery market and post office.

Today, I wanted to go to Walmart, just located 12-15 mins from our place, yet I can't recognize the way (remember I'm the passenger *wink*). I told LKM that I need to use the GPS...as expected, he stared at me...**speechless**...Guess what happened?Even with the GPS, I got lost...took the double of estimated time to both Walmart and back home...made more than 5 times detour on the GPS, as I missed all the instructions from the GPS...

When I told LKM, he just shaked his head and said..."next time you drive..."

My best friends here laugh at me when they know that I need a GPS for Walmart...

I'm very good at driving & recognizing the way...but I become a lousy driver when this comes with the GPS...my brain, eyes, ears, hands and legs cannot function at the same time =p
