Julie & Julia

Today I went to watch the movie Julie and Julia. I wasn't expecting much from it, since it was mainly about cooking. So I wasn't as excited as when I'm about to watch 'Ice Age 3' or 'Up'. But when I stepped out of the theater, I felt exactly how I would usually feel when I step out of the theater after watching 'Ice Age 3'! The movie was great; very funny and the story was very cool, being based on 2 real life stories. It was about a girl called Julie Powell who loved cooking, and loved the famous chef, Julia Child. She started a project that was 365 days, 524 recipes. Julie Powell blogged about cooking and going through one of Julia Child's recipes. Soon, lots of people started following her and she soon became very famous and wrote a book.

After watching the movie, I went to the mall, Natick Collection
, since the theater was really close to Natick Collection. But I didn't have much time to look around because I had to go home soon for dinner. So I just went to the shop Claire's and bought a cute choker necklace (with different colored small beads). I'm probably gonna go back there again because I'm going to get my ears pierced for my 10th birthday, so I'm going to buy earrings at Claire's. It's very surprising, because usually, whenever I go to a mall, I always buy clothes or at least shoes. But this time I only bought a choker necklace!! But I bet I will always buy at least something when I enter a mall... it's just quite impossible for me to never buy something when I'm in a mall! Especially when I'm in Natick Collection!!!

So now I'm just sitting in front of the computer, with nothing to do... I'm really hungry but we're probably not going to have dinner until about 7:00 PM the earliest! Well, I gotta go now... gonna go eat a yogurt! The hunger in my stomach can't wait =)

Paul McCartney Concert

I was sitting on the train, with nothing to do, on the way to Fenway Park. I tried to entertain myself by looking out the window, but there was barely anything to see.

Finally, the train stopped and I heard the robotic voice in the train saying, "Fenway". I rushed out of the train, eager to get out. I went into the first restaurant, wanting to eat food immediately. But there were no seats left. I kept on walking, looking for restaurants. I passed by tons of bars, obviously not allowing children like me. As I continued walking by rows and rows of bars, I was nearly convinced that there were no restaurants. But then, I saw a place where kids were going inside, so I rushed up to the place and found myself standing inside Longhorn Steakhouse. I love steak. As I stuffed the steak in my mouth, I noticed how late it was getting. I quickly went out the restaurant. As I made my way to get tickets, I suddenly got distracted by an ice-cream shop. I bought a flavor called Purple Cow (raspberry ice-cream with bits of white and dark chocolate).

When I picked up the tickets, I made my way to the stadium, already starting to hear the warm-up band, MGMT. I passed by rows and rows of stretch limos. It was my first time seeing stretch limos, and they were really cool to look at. I drew my eyes away from the limos and kept on walking to the stadium. I finally got seated in my seat.

The concert was great! I loved watching Paul McCartney sing, and I hope to watch him sing more. Before the concert, I thought I wouldn't enjoy it much because I didn't know the Beatles very well, and when I listen to them sing, I can't stay entertained by just listening to them sing. But as soon as I get back to Hong Kong, where home is, I want to download all the Beatles songs and I'm sure that now I will love their songs!
