September 11, 2008~~ Remembering 9/11
Today, September 11, 2008 marks the seventh anniversary of the day the world trade center in New York city was broken. Seven years ago, families and students representing more than 90 countries were killed in a day. Today, people around the world visit Ground Zero and pay their respects to 9/11 victims. For the New Yorkers, it felt like a flashback to Sept. 11. There are some ceremonies going on in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington. I remember when it happened I was still in High school and I knew 9/11 attack from TV. news. It was scary and bloody...
Summer is officially over as school has started. I am still enjoying my break and enjoying my fishing before the weather turns cold. Meanwhile, I am waiting for my permit to work but the status still on pending. I had a wonderful Summer 2008. First, completed my Undergraduate Program and awarded a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree. Second, a trip to Las Vegas. That's was a wonderful trip!! Also, I had lots of outdoor activities, fishing, BBQ, etc, and family gathering in August. We also had fun watching Olympic!!
School is over and what is the next? What is my plan?? Honestly, I feel so lost and I really do not know what is my next plan? Master in Science Accounting (MSA) Program?? Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam?? Or heading back to Asia?? I really do not know what is my next 5 years plan? One thing for sure is my job hunting continues... I really need to take my time out to plan about what should be done and get it done within these years. My journey ahead is full of challenges. Planning and Organize are two essential things to reach my goals. I am really need to get myself ready for all the challenges. GMAT and job hunting are my two priorities and need to get it done in this Fall 2008. Keep on going, Darren!! I know you can do it, it just matter of time and a little faith to yourself. Positive thinking is my drive...
Some technical notes: Blogspot.com has limited 1GB storage for each user. I've reached the storage limit, and was not able to upload any pics for my blog anymore. I was so pissed as I planned to post my pics I took in Las Vegas. Blogspot.com only allows me to upload more pics if I pay for extra storage. So after this post, I am planning to create another blog. For the details, I will include in my next post. It's kind of cumbersome to maintain two blogs. Once created, I will include my new blog link in my next post.
"Season Paradise" is moving to a new site. New blog is still under construction. Please be patient!! Cedar Point and Las Vegas posts are coming soon in my new site. A continuing legend of Darren... please stick with me and do not switch your gear!! There are more to be explored!! To be continues...

Cabela's, Dundee~~ Aug 15
On Aug 15, we visited Cabela's at Dundee, MI. We drove half an hour from Ann Arbor. Finally, I have chance to explore Cabela's. Cabela's is the world's largest retailer of outdoors merchandise. The sporting goods outfitter sells fishing, hunting equipments. We had lots fun there and here are the pictures.
All these were taken by Canon SD790IS~~ Thanks Andy for these pictures:
I like this picture. It looks like I was caught by the bears.
Fishing boat
In Cabela's, there are lots of specimens.
Vivid specimens
Look at the bear behind me!! Scary if that's real!!
haha~~ Look at this tiny bike~~
I was there to get some fishing lures. There are lots of lures. I spent an hour to find the lures.
The fishing lures are freaking expensive~~
Andy took some pictures at Cabela's aquarium. This is real fish, not specimen!
Obviously, Andy is not a good photographer. I was checking out which container is cheaper!!
After shopping for an hour, we took a break and had some sandwiches. We ordered the Ostrich and Roast Beef Sandwich. That was my first time to try the Ostrich Sandwich. For me, Ostrich tastes like pork, I can't really tell the different. But it was delicious!!
Roast Beef Sandwich~~ Yummyyyy~~
Vivid Specimen everywhere in Cabela's
Help!! He is chasing me~~~!!!!
We stopped by at the Gun Library at Cabela's. Cabela's Gun Library offers the discriminating sportsman and firearm enthusiast an exceptional selection of classic antique, collectible and fine sporting firearms.
Yeah~~ all real hunting firearm~~ Do you know how much each? The cheapest I think cost like $5k. I saw one $20K. Holly shit~~
Hand Guns~~
My hand was shacking~~ I held a gun that worth for $20K. Freaking heavy gun~~ 40 lbs!!! This gun is older than any of us~~ 130 years old~~
Look!! This musical box costs $14,500. Oh my God~~
Checking out my spinning Reel at fishing department. I spent another hour for my spinning reel as there are tons of reel with different brands. I can't make up my mind which to buy.
We shopped until Cabela's closed. We spent couple hours in Cabela's and spent 80 bucks. It should be more than that, just because the cashier forgot to scan two lures, it costs 12 bucks. Haha~~ I got two free lures~~ I was so lucky~~ hehe~~
After that, we hanged out at Bubble Island for Bubble tea at downtown Ann Arbor~~ Andy was checking out the free magzine from Cabela's~~
