Shopping at Valley Fair Mall

Yesterday my friend Selina and I went to Valley Fair Mall with our moms.



First, we went to Din Tai Fung, a Taiwanese restaurant.  We ordered two signature Xiao Long Bao, beef noodle soup, and vegetable dishes. The Xiao Long Bao was tiny but with many bun pleats and tender and juicy.



Next, we shopped at Macy’s store. There was many beautiful fashion jewelry. I bought a three-string necklace with a small diamond, a black heart, and a hamsa hand, a protective symbol. I put it on my neck immediately.



Then, I went to the Bath & Body Works store with Selina. We tried many different scented foam soaps. We smelled some perfumes.  I liked the fruity scent. I didn’t buy anything because I would wait for a good deal later.

 


At Lucky Tea Shop, I bought a fruit tea with rainbow jelly, less sugar, and less ice. My mom ordered an iced coffee at Peet’s Cafe.  Selina and her mom also bought their drinks. We sat down and took a break. 



As we continued shopping around, we found a flower wall. The flower wall had real red roses designed as “I love CA” by a flower shop.  We took pictures against the flower wall.



At last, we found decorated photo booths. We walked into the booth and took many pictures.  We were delighted and relaxed!

    It was an awesome Girls Day Out! We all bought something. I like the necklace that you chose, it goes well with your outfit that day. The photos came out so nice with the backdrop and the flowers. What a wonderful day!

Dog Day

Image
Last Thursday, I attended the Fresno State Dog Day orientation which was quite an exciting experience. At the Wayfinders booth, I checked in and received my name tag along with a red bag containing a free T-shirt and a student handbook.  After that, I went through a quick interview session with one of the staff and met my new classmates. We did some icebreakers and introduced ourselves to each other.  Next, we were taught how to use Canvas, an online course management system and I completed the Introduce Yourself assignment. Later, we played some games outside and exchanged phone numbers with my new roommate. Overall, my college experience at Fresno was pleasant and I had a great time at the Dog Day orientation.

Volunteering at the Shinzen Japanese Garden

Image
 I enjoy the volunteer activities provided by the Wayfinders. My favorite is the Shinzen Japanese Garden.  I have been there with my family before.  It's beautiful and peaceful. The pond, bridge, maple trees, and Japanese lamppost give me a Zen feel. I like nature so much that   I  enjoy volunteering in this garden.   On Saturday, I volunteered at the Japanese garden again. I helped them rake up the leaves and pull the weeds. The garden looks very clean and organized. For lunch, I had veggie and cheese pizza and drank water with it. I enjoyed   my lunch with my friends.  While cleaning the garden, I saw a peacock walking on the wooden fence and t he koi fish swimming happily in the pond. What a rewarding day!
