Love-hate relationship. I believe I am slightly narcissistic, but I have come to realise that I have been exuding a certain behaviour that I cannot accept. Now, I am casting so many questions about my own self and it feels so unhealthy.

School. Standards are dropping exponentially. With a marginally slim chance of 4.0, this extremist have decided not to forgo any form of enjoyment from now. Anyway, Frida from NBS sent me the following email:
"Can you let us have more details; especially in relation to which areas of law the subject will cover? Thanks!"

Seriously, I am so tempted to reply with:
"I certainly can let you have the details if I am teaching the course. Unfortunately, I am just a student?"

Spring break. The decision is to proceed to Florida - Fort Lauderdale (1), Miami (1), Key West (2), Orlando (3), Daytona Beach (1). Pretty sure 8 days in Florida will have a nice balance of what I desire - outdoors, scenic views, attractions (Disney or not?), beach parties (well, just for the exposure) and shopping =) Quite sad that I will not be travelling with my usual PP clique, but I thought 7 would be too far off the ideal 4.

I have always found joy in doing endurance sports. The exhilaration of going miles after miles, pain after pain and finally the state of achievement is fabulous. CK suggested that the best investment for this exchange thus far is his bike, I cannot agree more.

Saturday. Bakeries and sunset at Alki, or so I thought. After a hearty breakfast, the cycling trio did not even have a chance to taste any of the 6 bakeries planned. So depressing =( Sunset at Alki was beautiful, perfect if not for the massive clouds that day. Oh, Spud Fish & Chips (best in Seattle) is grossly overrated.

Wednesday. Burke Gilman trail - arguably the BEST trail I have ever cycled in my life. 4 hours, 40 kilometres, 3 books, 3 scoops. When objectives are aligned, decisions and consequences become so much easier and enjoyable =) Flat terrain with almost no obstruction, I am certain to ride on this dedicated bike lane again very soon..

Went for the UWSO concert yesterday. When I saw the Steinway and Sons grand piano, I began to fantasize about playing it. Seriously, I am not sure how much more I can contain my desire to run the fingers =( Anyway, the concert was very well performed and I personally enjoyed the piano playing most.

After the 30 minutes of roaming, its now time to travel for a video conferencing. Rather surprised at how accommodative Barcap can be for an internship position actually. Wish me luck =)

All-time favourite breakfast.


Cafe Presse. The only bakery we went to, just to LOOK but not TASTE =(


Piroshky piroshky, surprisingly delicious considering the ingredients involved.


We saw a seal here, but were too slow in taking out the camera =(


There is a need to conquer all the trails.


Alki beach.


Statue of Jesmine. Check out the props.


Burke Gilman. Where we turned back, only because the sky is turning dark.


When 2-for-5 takes its leave temporarily, an alternative 2-for-9 enters.
