phew! i'm finally in the mood for an update. sorry for the delayed response though, i have been really really busy the past few weeks, what with holidaying and all!:))

i'm so surprised i managed to survive the 15 hour plane ride. haha. anyway, for those of you who still don't know, i went to the US for 11 days. well, since it's an 11 day trip, i shall give all of you a day-to-day account like i always do!:))

day 1: after a torturous 15 hour journey to US, we finally arrive at the Los Angeles International airport! haha. then we head back to the hotel and have to wait an entire hour before being able to check in! can you believe it, we ate CHINA BUFFET (this is the exact name of the restaurant you know!) for dinner! it's kinda stupid to be in the states and eat chinese food right?

day 2: we take a 5 minute bus ride to DISNEYLAND! :DD even though this place may seem childish, but the rides there are really fun! anyway, my everlast shoes suck! so by 6pm that night, i had already become a cripple. but anyway, we still stayed on to watch the fireworks, which were so beautiful!:DD

day 3: we went to the hollywood walk of fame. on the way there, we had the scare of our lives! while telling us some gossipy story about the stewardesses of SIA, she suddenly flew onto the windscreen of the bus! she ended up needing 7 stitches on her forehead and having a super black eye! but the most amazing thing was the fact that everything in US is linked! even though she only called the ambulance, the fire department and police came as well! we ended up waving to the firemen from the tour bus. haha. when we finally arrived at the hollywood walk of fame, we met three people dressed as marilyn monroe, zorro and batman. after taking a photo with zorro, he suddenly said:" mei nu (with the ang mo accent. haha.), i like your smile!" LOL.
then, we went to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS. played many many games again!:DD the rides there are amazing i tell you. i have become immune to such scares thanks to this holiday. haha. ended up laughing all the way through all the scary rides. Uuniversal studios is really cool you know, we got to see how the filming of jaws and fast and furious was being done! while on the tour, we passed by a studio in which filming for CSI was taking place. HOW COOL IS THAT?!

day 4-day 8: we took a bus ride all the way to LAS VEGAS! had a night tour of all the woderful hotels there. MGM GRAND and the VENETIAN are amazing! the venetian is exceptionally cool! it looks exactly like venice! talk about good architecture. :)) the very next day, we went on a day tour to the valley of fire. it's a place where all the rocks are red, just like fire! all of us were climbing like monkeys. which was fun of course, being allowed to release the inner 'animal' in you! XD haha. we then went to the M&M and Coca Cola factory. cheated a bit at the M&M factory. haha. at night, we were left on our own and a group of us went to eat the alaskan crab buffet at the MGM Grand Hotel. the food there is really good! but something bad happened to me over there. i shall not elaborate on it.

we also stopped over at the GRAND CANYON, which in my opinion is spectacular! finally i get to see something we actually study. it wasn't as cold as i expected though.

went over to SAN FRANCISCO as well!:DD went to the old fisherman's wharf there. i really enjoyed my time there. :)) marcus was nice enough to treat me and eunice to Dreyer's ice cream. like the retards that we are, we brought the ice cream onto the ship that we were going to take and froze all the way back down. marcus broke off parts of the cone to feed the seagulls. and waddhya know! next minute, all the seagulls were flying at us!

after that, we went to the GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE to take lots of photos!:DD the view was spectacular and the flowers there are sooo pretty!:DD

meanwhile, we were having nightly gatherings!:DD haha. my friends, marcus, tiara, nicholas, germaine, geraldyn, jerome, samuel, abigail, rebekah and jasmine would come over to our room to play games and chat. we did way crazy stuff! for example, pole dancing. haha. great memories of course! :DD

anywyay, this was the last day for our tour group but not for us, as my family and justin's family extended another 3 days at SF. we almost had nowhere to stay because of some confusion. the 3 remaining days in SF were freezing cold! we did alot of walking around 5th avenue and even managed to buy 2 ipod touches! god i love my gizmo!:DD

anyway, apparently, we were lucky enough to be offered $400 each and a business class ticket home to singapore if we were willing to give up our plane ride home for that night! however, we did not manage to get it in the end. :(( disappointment! on the bright side though, we were given $100 each as compensation to spend on the plane. :))

for your information, please DO NOT attempt to fly by cathay pacific! i have learnt my lesson.

this is all for my US trip. now, i will attempt to be really draggy and tell you about another holiday. just on wednesday, my family, my cousin and my ah gong went on a cruise!

we had to queue for a horrible 1 hour just to get onto the stupid ship. and the entire place was full of aunties and uncles! >.< anyway, it was a 3 day cruise to nowhere. my cousin, my sis and i busted a 100 bucks on daytona! we just kept playing cards, staying up till late at night and eating ice cream! haha.

that's about all folks! guess you'll be way exhausted by now! and i complement those who have been patient enough to read all the way till here. haha. :))
