CONQUERING WATER & EARTH

On Saturday, we started our day by shopping at the mall in Roseville. We have a Vegas trip coming up, so we needed clubbing attire. :p We were supposed to be at Sunsplash Twilight, which is their 3:30pm-6:30pm admission, but decided to spend more time at the mall and go during their Nite Slide admission instead. Initially, we thought 5 hours would be much too long, and it would get too cold, but we were there for all of it and it wasn’t too chilly when we left at around 10pm. Thankfully, the park wasn’t too crowded. We only waited in long lines for two rides, which is pretty darn good in my opinion. We even got to go, multiple times, on two of the rides! Of course, we just had to start and end our trip there in the wave pool. XD We also managed to sneak in a few arcade games before leaving! :p

Group photo before we got wet. :p

Selfies are musts! XD

Saw this car parked next to our’s! 😮

The five of us were famished. There’s just something about water making people hungry! Thankfully, Arigato Sushi was still open. We had a hearty dinner before calling it a night. Boy, was I tired when I got back!

—————————————————————————————————————–

I could barely wake up at 10:30am on Sunday since I didn’t sleep until 2am. However, we had to be at Kart Extreme for go karting, at 11am. Karen, Cathy, Alex, and I had bought Groupon deals for this a few months ago. Since their track is mainly for serious racers to practice on, we had to wait a few weeks for them to have an opening. The four of us were quite nervous. Everyone there seemed dauntless! Our Groupon deal was good for three 7-minute races, which were split up into one 10-minute race, and one 11-minute race. I think we were only going around 15mph the first time around. It was quite embarrassing when they told us that we had to go much faster, for the safety of others, before we started our second race. We went a bit faster the second time around, but still nowhere close to the max of 50mph. Oh well, at least we had fun! I think I’ll stick to the indoor ones from here on out! XD

We didn’t look as cool as we expected. :p

Afterwards, we spent the day shopping, eating, and swimming. It was definitely a fun-filled weekend that passed by WAY too quickly. AND we conquered two, extremely opposite, elements in two days. However, I’m looking forward to the rest of the summer!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE NG LINE

We haven’t hung out as a line for quite some time, so we decided to shop, grab dinner, and catch a movie.

At 3pm, Regina came to pick me up before heading to South Davis to pick up Brian and Sam. We wandered around Roseville Galleria for a few hours before grabbing dinner at 8pm. Poor Brian got really bored at some point. It is not fun being the only guy shopping with 3 girls! :p Sam, Regina, and I also got matching infinity scarves from H&M. It’s too bad we forgot to take a picture!

Are these pictures Christmas card-worthy? :p

It took us quite some time to decide on where we wanted to grab food. We ended up at Raku for AYCE sushi. I think we spent nearly 2 hours eating since we wanted to get our money’s worth. Though we were super full afterwards, we still managed to catch the 10pm showing of Catching Fire. The movie was incredible! (I may be biased since it was my favorite one from the trilogy.) Sam usually fidgets or falls asleep during movies, but she was able to stay awake for this one. :p

Writing this post makes it seem as if we didn’t do much, but we didn’t get back until 1am. Can’t believe I spent 10 hours with these kids! Guess my line is pretty awesome. :p

WASTED WEDNESDAY (MONEY, OF COURSE!)

After class ended for the day, Chris and I went to Wingstop. I had been eating at home for the past two weeks, since I’ve been swamped with assignments and exams. I wanted to stay out to celebrate the end of midterms, so I suggested going to Dave & Buster’s since it was half-off games on Wednesdays. 🙂 We ended up purchasing the $50 deal. I felt super guilty for blowing $25 in one sitting, but we ended up with 4,800+ coupons! I used 3,000 of those coupons to redeem the gigantic Hello Kitty plush that I missed out on, when I came the weekend of my birthday. XD

We cleared out the coupons on this machine! XD

I was lucky enough to get 1,000 on this spin! Woot!

The large stack from the 1,000!

Chris and I, and our 4,800+ coupons! 🙂

HELLO KITTY, YOU ARE MINE ❤

I think we are slightly addicted to half-off Wednesdays since we already have plans to come again next week. Hopefully, we won’t spend half as much next time!
