In order to sleep a little bit longer this morning, I skipped the first televised BPL match in which Tottenham beat Manchester City 4 to 1. At 7:00 am, I started watching Manchester United hosting Sunderland. In the first half, Sunderland had been defending very well until the last 10 seconds. Memphis scored a goal for host in injury time. After second half started only a minute, the crossing ball hit Rooney's knee to bounce into the back of the net. In the final minute of the whole match, Mata kicked a high ball to score the 3rd for Manchester United. It's a big win.
Dropping my parents at Ranch 99, I drove to UW Dorm to pick up my son. I thought it would take me at least half an hour to arrive there but I-5 was wide open. Calling my son to ask him to get down from his dorm, I noticed it was still pretty quiet on the street though it was 10 am already. My son had told me that he came back to dorm to sleep at midnight after the event ended. I assume many other kids probably did the same.
Tomorrow will be Mid Autumn Festival for Chinese, so more customers were shopping at Ranch 99. You could see many packed and boxed mooncakes being on sale. Before I came back to pick them up, my dad had bought mooncakes at the bakery, I just needed to buy a birthday cake for my son.
As usual, we stopped by Szuchuan Garden to have lunch. Today, I ordered the dishes well enough but without any leftover. It's delicious.
Lying on the couch after drinking a bottle of beer, I fell into sleep, so missed most of the first half of Huskies' football game hosting Cal. In the second half, they caught up only 6 points behind with 3 minutes left. However, their freshman quarterback threw an interception to lose the game at the end. Watching the postgame show, I figured they had had five turnovers in the first half, no wonder why did they lose the game. With the tough schedules ahead to play so many ranked Pac-12 rivalries, it's so difficult for them to qualify a bowl game in this season.
After the game, I suddenly realized that I forgot to buy the candles for my son's birthday, so decided to drive to Fred Meyer to buy a pack. My son heard my words and wanted to go with me. We drove there and grabbed a pack at the bakery inside Fred Meyer. I was about to film the moment my son would blow off the candles but he stopped me. However, I did catch the scenes while we were eating the cakes like sharing a big toasted chicken.
Coming back to my bedroom, I watched Mariners at Angels for an inning while they were tied at 2 to 2. The game reminded me that I go to a game in June or July at Angel's Stadium in 2005 while I was living in the city of Cypress. In that game, Mariners beat Angels 3 to 0.
Switching to StarZ, I found that one of my favorite old movies in 90s, Twister, was going to be replayed. In the following 1 hour and half, I focused on watching this exciting movie. Though I had watched it several times, I was still moved by all the scenes. It also triggered me to recall the attraction in Universal Orlando I appreciated in 1998.
