Chicago trip

Last week I just went to Chicago for trip. I considered myself a little bit weird since last week through 2 more weeks from now is the busiest weeks I'll go through this semester. Start from MATH 537 Homework that's actually will be graded equal to exam grade, Design Project class that didn't go as good as it supposed to be due to lack of communication, tons of homeworks and etc. Anyway, it starts from Patricia who can't take Pamelia to Chicago since she'll have tons materials for her exams this week and Pamelia is going back to San Jose this week. So the only chance for her to visit Chicago will be last weekend. Well, her parents definitely won't allow her to go to Chicago alone, so I decide to take her with Wennie to Chicago to look around. Don't ask me why I want to go, anyway at first Patricia said to me to just sit beside Pamelia and let her drive. In my mind I said "what ? There's not many girl who dare to drive in Chicago and I'm not sure if Pamelia is one of it" (notes: Chicago traffic is crazy :P). Later on Pamelia made a testimony that at first she thought of driving to Chicago but after we returned she said that it was a mistake, since the road is very complicated. So I planned my trip and on Friday night, there's a change of plan since Evan (Pamelia's cousin want to join to visit his brother in Chicago).On Saturday morning we went to IKEA first to buy a book shelf for Wennie and then after that we eat in Asian Noodle house. Next destination is downtown or Millennium park as first destination in Downtown. There's a bit delay in our plan since we arrived later than it supposed to be so we don't have time to visit the aquarium, planetarium and Museum. We go directly to take a architectural tour using boat. It was my second time taking that boat and it's very fun hearing explanation of each building in Chicago. We ate dinner in Kien Kee restaurant (Chinatown) with Evan's brother and that time Pamelia make a decision to stay 1 night in Chicago. The food is good as usual and what's more surprising is that we met some people from CCBC (Chicago City blessing Church) and it's quite odd since it was 11 PM and they just have dinner (well then we're odd too).

That's quick summary about last weekend trip to Chicago and this week I'll go to Chicago again for badminton tournament with Hery and friends.
