Japanese Garden

Thursday, April 24, 2008

Last episode, I mentioned about Meiwah's boy friend, Weihwa came to Portland for 10 days training. Although he is busy with his work, we still able to hang out on weekends. This time we brought him to explore the beauty of Nature, most correctly the beauty of Nature in Japanese's perspective.

Before started, I might say this entry is the toughest one so far. I've spent hours and hours on choosing and eliminating pictures, then exploited hours and hours on editing. Eventually, my hands, eyes as well as my mind are exceedingly burn out. Hence, allow my pictures to do all the speaking. Besides, I will only blog about the Mexican foods on my next post. Just too much at once.

A huge Sakura tree welcoming us at the parking lot. (That's NOT my car, I drive a white Honda Accord)

Darling and I had such a great time together. Holding hands while walking down all the paths way, laughing out while observing scenic view, playing around while touring with others strangers. It's so honey moon~~ Hmm...It's sweet but I feel weird in the mean while.




WAIT!!! Where is Weihwa??





How could I dare to neglect him, he is the one who help my hubby and I with our photos. In fact, he was too busy with his new camcorder! He wanted to save all his journey to share with his beloved one.

Hi, Meiwah (as a courtesy)! Babe, can you feel the love tonight?

Fortunately, Weihwa still manage to leave his camcorder aside and had some nice shot with us.

I love this photo the best!

I want a portrait of myself too.

It's your turn weihwa, Cheese~~

Weather was unpredictable that day, snowing and raining at the same day. No matter how chilly the weather was, our friendship is the only source that made us warm. Weihwa was departing from Portland to Malaysia about one hour ago. Safe journey, friend.



Coming Up Next:
I'll be back after 3rd of May, exam is coming soon :'( When I return, I'll show you my shopping goods and Mexican foods while outing with Weihwa.

2nd Unit 2nd Room said...

wah wah... all your fans are already here... ^_^

i am seriously curious about the camera you're using, really good color capturing--everything is in vivid color and good lighting too...

oh yes... good luck for your exams... and ... as most of them has said, you look good... but somehow, you lack that confidence eh...

undoboy said...

ohhh, that is strange. She isn't lack of confidence, don't you see we're relaxing and resting?

Beverly's Secret said...

Dear yvonne,
I'll gambate~~

Dear Mei Wah,
Again, you are too welcome.

Dear [林_茜],
Thank you! I'll work hard!

Dear Vincent Cho,
I know, it's too beautiful.

Dear jiani,
Hahaha,,angle problem...

Dear 迷迭香,
Yup, It is. We paid entrance fees US$ 8 each person for maintenance.

Dear janelle_l,
Thank you. But most of them prefer me in straight hair.

Dear Akira 思胜,
My japanese sucks. The Japanese Garden is located at Portland.

Dear AhhJohn,
Yeah, the landscaping!! I miss out this word >.<

Dear 墮天使-祥,
Wow~~ You sure? This garden is super HUGE!!

Dear [~*pYnGx2~*],
Thanks for dropping by!

Dear Anne,
Visit me visit me!! Kekeke..

Dear UncleJosh,
I'll work double hard. Lack of confidence? Hahaha..Yeah, i'm just the girl next door in this entry. But watch out! My fans will bomb you~~

Dear Undoboy,
Yeah you are right, take it easy...We are relaxing still...

2nd Unit 2nd Room said...

haha... :) i know you guys are relaxing and resting... i meant... she looks good... but lack a little confidence as in a way that, she would have doubts about how she look after she has done with all the makeup and dressing up... :) a girl who has the high confidence would not have the doubt about how she look no matter how she's dressed up...

just a thought... *cheers*

2nd Unit 2nd Room said...

and you haven't tell me which camera are you using... >.<

墮天使 - 祥 said...

Beverly's Secret said...

Dear UncleJosh,
Honestly, I didn't agree at all! Wakaka...Do not simply judge people when we do not know them well. Well, you can act like you are innocent now by just expressing your personal view. But here I present you your 1st official warning letter. Therefore, i'm not going to tell you which camera I'm using :p

Dear 墮天使-祥,
Awesome! Must invite for the house warming ya~~

Dear ~*~* ¥μ€ñ ƒΞϊ *~*~,
Yeah, I can be your tour guide for only Portland area. Wakaka..

Dear fishhuey,
Thank you so much!

Dear Pinkster,
Haha..I don't think so. We have been to Japanese Garden twice. This time going there simply for weihwa's sake.

Dear EmiLio,
Ohh, my legging? Thx~~

Dear Fishyho,
Just my legs, not my waist and butt. Diet plan still on. :'(

Dear ღvivi0914ღ,

Dear pH,
