roommate date

Thursday

Happy birthday, roommie!

A perfect afternoon

I love the scarf, the leaves, the fountain, the hat, the perfect fall weather, and walking around downtown Chicago with my favorite roommate and friend.

Beautiful

is my roommate.

Visiting the Art INSTITVTE of Chicago

We went to see this new sculpture on exhibition in Millenium Park that day.The other one was not ready yet, so we were a little disappointed.Well, we cheered up soon enough and headed towards the new modern wing of the Art Institute.Then, we crossed the newly-installed bridge to the Art Institute because it's free admission from 5-8pm.
Um...the bridge was swaying a bit..
Apparently, they chose to spell institute "Institvte" because this is the modern wing.After seeing most of the art pieces in the modern wing, we both agreed that art should make us think and be aesthetically appealing. We didn't like some of the depressing and ugly art pieces but I guess those reflect the current state of our society too. The saddest thing is when people spend a lot of time thinking about the meanings of life but miss the most important thing--God.
As we walked out the park and headed home, we were encouraged by the sight of a group of young people praying with an older man (probably doing evangelizing). It was a ray of hope admist the darkness. God was reminding us that He is still Sovereign and His plan is still in place. =)

A day in Evanston with Lana!

Lana came to visit me two weeks ago and we had tonnes of fun catching up and exploring Evanston. We visited Mr. William at his garden.
It's this secret garden that's somewhat hidden behind a small chapel.
Of course, I had to make her pose for lots of pictures!(well, I didn't make her..cos she knows I love being the photog)
Sunny summer...
Although the garden's pretty, there's a lot of mosquitoes so we headed out to the lakeside for the sun.
Lana's I'm-proud-to-be-a-visitor pose.Our bikes.Trying to have a picture with both of us in it. We decided that it's easier for me to be behind the camera and L on the other side.
After lunch, we went to downtown Evanston to shop. This pic is for you, L. You'll find a prettier plaid shirt in the future. =)

I miss my roommate already...

It's summer holiday now and I officially finished my first year at Moody! I'm living at home with my parents this summer, but I'll be taking summer classes.
These pictures of my roommate were taken in the courtyard of a cathedral under construction in downtown Chicago. It was fun to have a roommate who is so willing to be my model for the fun photoshoot session. =) I miss you, roommie!!
