Me, Myself and Sean Tay

And so today, I went to D.C. by myself for the first time. It was awesome other then the fact that the wind almost blew my tote bag off (and I'm not exaggerating!). I definitely have a good personal time with myself. You know, it is one of those days that I just want to be with myself, not unhappy nor emo, just wanna be---my---self. =)

Anyhow, I drove the car to Shady Grove to take the metro. There's no way I'm going to park in D.C. since I have no one to share the parking fees! Haha.

The distance to D.C. from Shady Grove is bout half an hour. I love period like this, whereby I can sit on the train, read a book and look at the different kinds of people around me and their actions. Like how the little boy kissed his mum just now (awwww, so sweeet), like a bunch of schoolgirls bitching about the hot guys that entered and left the train at different stations.

Today my main focus is the Dupont Circle neighbourhood. A nice and trendy neighbourhood with sensitive new age guys, metrosexuals, lesbians, cool girls, gays, blah blah blah. I had my brekkie/lunch at Love Cafe, one of those bakeries recommended in Oprah's show. I tried the famous Hat Trick's Cake. It was not bad, but it wasn't like Ooooooorgasmic!

Anyway, I manage to sit in the cafe for three hours by reading some free D.C. magazines, people watching, and trying to finish my "Eat, Pray, Love" storybook which I'm still at the "Italy" chapters over the last three months. The people who entered the cafe are usually trendy young people, e.g.s smart looking ladies, stylish boys, hot lesbians, cute gays. It's definitely a hot place for people watching.

An interesting advertisment. I like the beers and the vibrance of the rainbow colours. Who says gay magazine need to be of nudes boys and babes?

I managed to know a new friend through the storybook I was reading. Haha, and in the end we sat down together and talked for another hour about the story and the film. I left about 4pm to visit the famous whole food market.

I love American supermarkets more then our local ones. Their food selection is always great, and the items usually looks freshier and more appetizing. They even have their own salad bar. I grabbed some home too, planning to eat for lunch on Sunday.

But why not eat it fresh???!!! Haha, cause I have reserved my stomach for my long-time-craving that could only be found in Chinatown!

My Char Siew + roasted duck rice. OMG OMG OMG! It was sooooooo good!
(And the waiter thought I was a hongkonger, haha).

After the fulfilling dinner, my stomach was so bloated that I decided to have a short walk for digestion. Hahaha, and so I found an excuse to walk to the shopping district near Chinatown. I spent some quality times in H&M, Zara, Forever 21.

After spending a significant amount of time for digestion in the boutiques, I found myself in a yogurt ice cream shop munching on the delicous make-you-fat-but-you-still-will-eat frozen yogurt. Yummy! I tried the peach and strawberry flavours this time round, but I still prefer the orignal flavor.

I ended the day by taking the metro from metro center to Shady grove... That's it! That's my sat.=) So dread the arrival of monday, damn it.
