Stopping by McDonald's to have breakfast, I shared a photo with my classmates to tell the price, then someone posted another photo to prove the price in China not being cheap as people think.
Working out for an hour and a half, I drove back home to have lunch. My dad had asked me to take a photo for him by the side of a maple tree in our front yard last week, I did it on my cell but accidentally deleted it. As soon as I glanced at that tree when I drove onto driveway, I recalled. Getting into the house, I asked my dad to come out, then I took another one for him. He thought the tree was beautiful, I totally agreed.
After lunch, I watched one of MLS Cup Playoff match for a while, then decided to clean the bathroom on second floor I use. It took me more than an hour to clean the tub, toilet, sink and mirror, finally I swept the floor.
After taking shower, I ran down to the first floor to watch Sounders challenging FC Dallas away from home in second leg of Western Conference semi-final on big screen. It was about to kick off in seconds.
I had waited for this match a week and did expect Sounders to prevail, then I could go to CLink to watch conference final. Sounders didn't make many opportunities. I only caught one scoring opportunity when Valdez's shot was deflected by Dallas' defender to lead the ball almost getting through keeper's fingertips.
Ivanschitz passed a straight ground ball to Mears who ran into small box very timely, unfortunately he didn't pass it to the right position in front of the goal post. That one probably was the best chance for Sounders to score in first half but I didn't film it.
Frei saved several shots and this one I filmed was the most exciting one, so I called him hero for this save.
In the last 15 minutes, three goals were made to extend the match to extra time, which might be better for commercial reasons than the match itself. However, the goals made the fans so excited both in the stadium and in front of TVs. Sounders were exhausted in extra time, though Pappa was subbed in to be very active. It's lucky for them not to have Dallas score a goal. In Penalty Shootout, I didn't see much confidence in several sounders, they lost the match and were out of the season.
Though they seemed not able to win this match anyway, I still felt very frustrated. Though three of my classmates kept uploading clips and photos they snapped in their gathering dinner in Guangzhou since one of them went there on a business trip, I didn't respond in group chat but went back to bed to lie down without taking off the clothes. I just tried to transmitte one of their photos to my blog but failed, so had to use the camera to make a copy from my cell to post here. It must not be as clear as the original.
Wow, it's already 2:10 in the morning on Tuesday, I must go to bed to sleep for another 4 hours.
