Orange County... SHOPPING!

I took a metro bus to Orange County to visit Vee on Sat. The ride was like 1.5 hours lor! Luckily Vee fetched me from the bus-stop =) We went shoppin for a short while before heading down to Vee's aunt's Thai restaurant to help out. Well coz there was a bdae party there so since we were free we went down to help out and have some free food and beer.

Free laboR!!

Hee actually not realli free coz i had lots of food and beer and free thai ice tea leave n e boba (pearls) for the tea which i can cook myself!

Do i look like a thai?

The funniest part was when i actually went on the stage to sing! Ha the customer wanted to hear mi sing some chinese songs so i went on the stage to sing. They have the lyrics but it was in thai style and not realli hanyupinying so i cant realli read it. But everyone loved my singing! Haa... So fun... End up the guitarist asked for my number... And some other ppl. See how popular i am =)

Vee was like so impressed with my singing. Hee but i thought i sang badly...

The next day, Vee took me to Ceritos Mall which i loved and adore so much! I bought so much nice and cheap stuff there! Lots of shoes too... Hee but i realli loved it. After shopping we went to meet Vee's fren, Jenny and had some bubble tea together. She's a nice girl and we arrange to go karaoke together some time =) Then, Vee drove me home.

Knotts Scary Farm!

Knotts Scary Farm is Not scary at all... Hee today i went to Knotts Berry Farm with all the Thai people. Due to Halloween, the theme of the park changed to knotts scary farm. We reached there at around 8 pm and started going to the various "ghost houses" whereby ppl dressed in costumes were supposed to scare other ppl. I was not afraid at all and Ben said that im cold-blooded. He was like so afraid and kept hiding behind Arm. Gosh i cant believe he is actually a guy...

But, i was afraid of the roller-coaster rides though. We took 3 rides and i grabbed Mon and Nut for the rides coz they sat beside me. Haha but well it was not bad. At least im better than Ben.

Ben's freaked out look

Group Photo =)

All the thai ppl and me... Im so extra.

At the entrance wif the girls.

Hee... Mon and me =)

Joy and me in front of Mon's car

Kema and Me!

Well i had quite some fun there but i still like disneyland better. We headed for supper at 2am when the park close and we had korean congee. Ended up reaching home at 4am...

Well, i think it's pretty decent =) The mid-term consists of 20 multiple choices questions, 2 marks each, and 2 short answer questions which i have to do OnE question only. The short answer question worths 10 marks. So in total it is upon 50. And... I got 46! Hahaha. Let be give a breakdown for my grades. I got 36/40 for my multiple choice. The class mean for multile choice is 34.57 and the class median is 36. For the short answer question, i got 10 out of 10. Hahaha i juz wrote alot of crap and i manage to still get full marks. Shows how smart i am =P The class mean for the short answer question is 8.73 and class median is 9. In total, the mean for the mid-term is 43.25 and median is 44.

So... Im ok hor =P Shows that even though i am like on a holiday mood, i still study hard for my midterm and i studied on the plane to hawaii lor =) Mummy are u proud of me??

Pearl Habour =)

Today, Sueann brought me to Pearl Habour =) Well actually it was not so exciting as im not so much of a battle nor history kind of person.. But its like since i went to Hawaii, its like a must to visit Pearl Habour... So well... Here i am =) Instead of concentrating of the history of pearl habour, i focused my efforts on taking loads of picture just so that i can prove that i'd been here, as well as to show ppl in spore wad does pearl habour looks like... Haha...

As we were walking in, i realised that sueann had bird shit on her shoulder!! Haha.. Oh im so evil... Coz i even took a picture of it. Hee well it's sueann's lucky day =)


And sueann was so nice to pose for me to take the photo. But i was the one who helped her to clean it off lor =)

Sueann and I decided to just tour the submarine and the Missouri, wihich was the battleship that i dunno went to japan to do wad. Haha... We didnt wanna spend extra money to go to the museum coz we believe that there will be nothing much for us to see anyway.

Me posing in front of the submarine which i forgot its name. This shows how much effort i put in to actually understand the history of pearl habour. I cant even remember the name of the submarine... So i guess u can know how much of the history will be stored in my memory. Ha but i do remember exactly that i paid 24 USD to tour the submarine and the battleship.

On the submarine... All tourist will be given an audio set and when u walk around the ship, there will be numbers u can find which u are suppose to key into audio so that u can hear a description of that particular area. Well the living space in the submarine is really small and crowded. Really cant imagine staying in there...

After touring the submarine, we took a free shuttle service to another part of pearl habour where we toured the battleship missouri. I personally like the battleship better coz it's much bigger =)

Nevertheless, we didnt take much photos in the battleship coz we werent allowed to take photos inside...

After pearl habour, we walked a short distance to the stadium where there was a swap meet, which was actually like a pasar malam. Well there was nth much there to buy anyway =) However, we took a wrong route and end up having to cut across a big grass patch.

More photos at Pearl Habour!

Hawaii Water Adventure Park!

Today, the 3 NUS peeps decided to go to the Hawaiian water adventure park =) Kelvin, Sueann and I took a bus to the adverture park and the bus ride was so so so very long! The worse thing was that i had to pee urgently! The total journey was bout 1.5 hrs and i had the urge to pee midway thru the journey. So u know how terrible that felt ya... However, we still managed to find our way there, which is very good. During the bus ride, i realise that Hawaii isnt what most people expect it to be. All the marketing gimmick making Hawaii seem like a nice and romantic place to chill by the beach... That is not exactly the case here. The bus went past areas which were not that developed. In addition, hawaii has lots of empty sandy land.

Kelvin posting in front of the adventure park:

Sueann and Me:

The 3 of us....

The entrance fee was like USD $35. Its kinda expensive coz there werent alot of things to do inside. But well at least we did have quite alot of fun there. This was the first ride that i took. Well it realli wasnt that scary. After being able to conquer all the rides in Disneyland and California Adventure, this was realli nothing.

Yeah! I emerged as winner as Sueann is slightly behind me. Muahahaha..

Sueann on the left, im in the centre wif the super cute pose, and kelvin on the right.

This was the second ride i took. Intially, the sight of it kinda freaked me out. It looked like 10 seconds of adrendaline rush... But well i decided to just go for it so me and Kelvin went first. Whao it was amazing! The force was so great that my bikini bottom were alittle out of place (but of cours i adjusted it before standing up la). Ha but hey the feelin was good. I then went another time wif Sueann.

Kelvin so eager to get out of the slide... And me doing some unglam adjustment. Sueann realli dunno how to take pictures man. She either takes it during the wrong time, or if it is the right time, the photo will not be centralized... Haha.. Sueann dun angry when u read this. Im just kidding.

After this ride, we went on to take some this other ride which is not scary at all. Ha its for my Brother and Mother and Father... Hahahahah

Im on the left and Sueann is on the right.

The next ride was not scary but well at least the 3 of us gets to bond together. Hee...

From back: Kelvin, Sueann and Me!

We took the ride again as we decided to catch some self-shots wif the waterproof camera we bought... Well it looks alittle retared but thats bcoz Kelvin was the photographer. Ha

After all those not so exhilarating rides, we took his ride which made our USD $35 all worthwhile. This ride is really scary! They have 2 different kinds of floats, one which will be frontwards and another backwards. Me and Kelvin tried the backwards one first. It was scary! But the frontwards one was worse!

Backwards ride:

Frontwards ride:

After that heart-dropping rides, we decided to jus chill by the pool and get some sun.

Have to make sure that both the front and the back gets an even tan =)

The NUS logo...

Our last pic in the water adverture park... Underwater. I can open my eyes wide and clear! Impressive rite... Hee i think i look realli cute and angelic in this pic.

We then bought some curly fries which we indulged in. We then set off to wait for the bus which took forever. While waiting, we took alot of photos wif realli stupid acts. This jus shows how BORED we were. And the sun was sooo scorching HOT! I ended up feelin realli sickly and burnt and pain =(

Look at our burnt faces.... But luckily im not as bad as Sueann. She is realli like a Malay now... Hee... But i totally can understand why. Im only there for like 3 days and im so so tanned le...

Wakiki Beach + Shopping!

Aloha! Sueann and I woke up really early today head down Wakiki to have breakfast in this restaurant calle ihop. Apparently, it serves realli good pancake and everyday without fail, people queue to have breakfast there. Sueann have wanted to have breakfast there for a very long time but to no avail so this time round, since i was there, she decided to put in the effort to wake up earlier so that we can have a sumptious breakfast.

In the bus...

And now for the best part... The food. Oooooo doesnt the sight of it jus makes u drool. And it tasted realli good. They served a variety of food here but all are for breakfast.

Happy Sueann wif her food...

And now, Happy ME~!

After the super-filling breakfast, we made our way down to Wakiki beach. The water was realli nice and clear. It had this subtle turqouise colour which juz calms your nerves. But in my opinion, the beach in LA is nicer coz its much much bigger and less crowded. But the water in Hawaii is nicer though =) According to Sueann the other beaches are nicer coz there are lesser ppl but its too far to go so i have to be satisfied wif Wakiki Beach =)

Sunbathing...

Along the stretch of shops in Wakiki...

In Wakiki, it is normal to walk around in ur Bikini to shop. Sueann and I walked into Coach shop wif our Bikinis... Ha but after awhile i decided not to expose too much of my fats so i put my tank top on =) I bought quite alot of clothes and one of my favourite is this realli nice red sun dress from a local hawaiian brand...

In the fitting room trying the dress.

We then went to the marketplace which was also along the way =) I bought some nice dresses and tshirts here too...

After Wakiki, we went to Ala Moana which is a super big shopping centre. Its like bigger than Vivocity. They hav all he branded stuffs, not as branded stuffs, alot of food blablabla. And yes, i couldnt resist shopping again... Hee.

HaWaiiiiiiii!!!

Oh ya i forgot to mention tat Edgar was realli nice too as he picked me up from my appartment and fetched me to buy my Krispy Kreme before sending me off to the airport. And on Monday morning when i get back to Hawaii at 615am, he's gonna pick me up too! Nice rite?? I so grateful to him...

Limosine N Me!

SueAnn and Limosine...

Inside the Limo.

Sueann's apartment is very humble... Heehee, its much smaller than mine. But well her rent is half of mine so i guess u get wad u pay. But well im still thankful that i get to save on hotel accomodation and in return, i get to shop more MorE mORe! Hee... Let's so the calculation... Let's say one day's accomodation is roughly $100USD. So, 3 nights would indicate a savings of $300USD! So, mummy dun scold mi if i shop hor. Hee coz it's using money i saved! Hahahaha... Wad a way to make myself feel better.

Anyway after settling down, SueAnn brought me to a bar like restaurant coz its her fren bdae so we went to chill for awhile. We took a bus to Wakiki where the bar was located. Wakiki is a reali nice place; with lots of toursists, shops, and a beach. =) I would be shopping there on friday though =) The bar was ok only. Not realli my type though. But i still enjoyed myself.

Dun u just like my beautiful DKNY dress? I bought it from the outlet for onli like 50 dollars. I totally love it coz i think the colour suits my tan and it makes me look thin. Hee... :

Outside the Bar:

Inside the bar:

We left after awhile to stroll around the area. SueAnn was realli sweet to get me a Hawaiian Flower... Its so cute... I took lots of photos wif it...

A beautiful photo of SueAnn and Me... Coz my face dun look super round in this photo. Out of 20 times i take photos, 19 times my face looks super bloated =(

Anyway, i think i will blog when i get back to LA coz the network here super slow and it takes forever for mi to load the photo to blogger.... So well, ppl juz have to wait alrite =) I love you guys... Take great care.

Dedicated to my family!

Dedicated to my LoViNg Family...

Dearest Mummy, Daddy, KorKor and JieJie,

I just wanted to let you guys know that although im in a far far away place... So distant from my loving and supportive family members, i think about all of u all the time. My family plays a very important role in my life and im very proud to have all of you as part of me. I never fail to boast to everyone how lucky and fortunate i am to be able to receive such abundance love from my family members, and how strong are the ties we have among ourselves.

I really miss having dinner with everyone; those days when we will chat and joke bout everything under the sun; chill and drink some wine + fried fish. I just want to assure all my most beloved ones that although i may not be by your side when u need me most, that's not because i dun love you... For my love for you is as deep as the sea, and as high as the sky =) In short, it's unmeasurable.

I want to thank my mummy most for spending so much time msning me everyday (although it's because she has nth to do in office and is playing Bubbles all the time). But im really happy to be able to see ur cute chubby face on webcam!

I also want to thank Daddy (and mummy too) for sponsoring me for this very enriching study trip. Its really a dream come true for me. Without your financial support, there's no way that i can achieve all these. I know i spent alot of money (im sorry) but dun worry... I may not have the ability to pay you now, but i assure u when i graduate and start to work, i will provide you with the best that i can.

As for my beloved sister, we were the closest sisters in Singapore but i dunno where she disappeared to. Khong Shihui, have you forgotten about me? I bought u quite alot of gifts u know! But i miss u too!

And Kor, im not fat la. Thanks for leaving comments in my blog though. Im always happy to see my loved ones leaving comments in m blog. Never fail to brighten up my day. But try to leave more positive comments next time (such as "oh you look radiant").

Last but not least... I LOVE YOU GUYS! I cant wait till december to see everyone coz i miss everyone so much! Im gonna go Hawaii tommorow. Will update you again!

Best day in LA: Disneyland!!

This is my most fun-filled day here in LA! I went to Disneyland todae and it was sooo tiring but fun and scary. (*Attn all family members: When you come to LA in dec, we will conquer all the rides in disneyland! Juz like the way i did today! Ha... There'll be 6 of us too, juz like todae. And the good thing is, there are a couple of rides whereby 6 ppl can sit together in one cabin!)

Waiting for the bus in school..


In the bus on the way to Disneyland. Look at lazy Ben sleeping like a baby.




In the tram proceeding towards Disneyland from the carpark... All exicited... You guys like my bumber bee sunglasses? Hee.. I bought it from school... 2 for $15.


Here we are! In front of Adventureland. There are many different part in Disneyland such as Tommorowland, Fantasyland etc.

More photos...

Spacemountain! Its a fast ride inside the dark where there are lots of small dots of lights in space. Feels like u're in outer space...

Waiting to get into the ride Indiana Jones...

Im the 5th one! Ha i know i freaked out. Instead of buying the photo, we decided to juz sneak photos shots! Ben is the 4th one hiding behind kookkik. And... 4d anyone??

After the ride we went to a souvenier shop and saw this really funni fan. It's like a spray bottle wif fan so u can spray mist out.... So amazing.

Turkey Leg and Me! I shared one wif Joy for lunch coz its so big! But it's yummilicious!

A boring Pirates of the Carribean ride. Well actually it was ok. Nice "scenery"

More photos taken in the park....

And that was Disneyland. Opp Disneyland is California Adventure park. We bought the park hoppers ticket so we can go to both parks. There's more rides in California Adventure but Disneyland is bigger.

My first horrifying ride... Tower of terror... Gosh i was so so freaked out before the ride. Im those kind of person who would keep sayin im so so afraid to take the ride, and keep complaining before the ride. But end of the day, i still dare to take the rides. =) This ride was the best. Its like u're in a lift and it will go up to 13th storey and fall down. I was so freaked out i grabbed Ben's leg (he was sitting beside me). But its ok... (*aTTn all family members, we HAVE to sit this ride) Im really very proud of myself for having the courage to take all the rides...

Before the ride... Me and Joy with the Tower of Terror for the backdrop.

Waiting in line for doomsday! Me and Ben all freaked out.

But after the ride, i thought it wasnt as bad as wad i imagined it to be. We then took another super scary ride. Its like the Tower of Terror juz that tis time round its open air and we juz shoot up realli fast and fall straight down. Initially i didnt dare to take it so me and Ben waited for the 4 of them to take it. Then when they came down, they told mi its better than the Tower of Terror so i told to myself that i should be brave and juz do it since im already there. And im glad i did coz it wasnt that bad afterall =)

Kookkik, Jay, Arm and Joy.... Look at Joy's face. I really hated the anticipation.

Joy, ME and Arm =)

We then went on to take a roller coaster ride. Well its was pretty scary but again, it wasnt that bad. Ha i survived after all. Juz that it was so fast and bumpy i keep bumping my head. Especially when it was doing the 360 degree turn...

Well cant realli see the roller coaster but the one wif the partial micky mouse is the roller coaster ride.

Joy and me. Look how happy we are... Hee...

Along our way to our last ride we bumped into some other of the exchange students and decided to take a group photo =)

And our last ride was the "worse" of all. Not because its scary or wad. It was bcoz it got me TOTALLY drenched! Its like a circular lifebuoy and 6 of us sat in it. Towards the end, i thought i survived it but out of a sudden a big blast of water splashed up from the "river" and got me totally soaked. And the most retarded thing was that we took the ride at about 6pm when it was getting colder. I was like freezing after that. My jeans was soaked and i felt so so bad.

Check this out...

After this wet ride, we went for dinner and did some shopping. The things here are so so expensicve so i only got myself a cute mickey mouse ring (to put worn on my little pinky) for 21 usd. And i also bought a nice key chain (with the word JOY) for joy coz she has been so so nice to me when im here. She's like my best fren coz we tok to each other everydae about everything. After shopping, we proceeded to the main area to wait for the famous fireworks. Oh my god it was sooooo beautiful. I think its the most beautiful fireworks i had ever seen. There was like a story line behind it and it lasted pretty long. My Daddy LoVeS fireworks and i cant wait to bring him here to admire the beautiful fireworks display. It was so so romantic. Picture this: The weather is perfect... Cold and chilly but not excessively. It was dark and the fireworks display lit up the entire sky. Then they had a "fairy" flying here and there. It was so cute. I had some video clips so my loved ones in Singapore can watch the fireworks and feel my joy too =)

Party + Cleaning Up (13th August)

Today has been a truely amazing yet retarded day. Finally thursday have came... I waited so so long for it. From Mondays to Thursdays, I'll usually head home after school and go online to chat wif mummy and do some assignments and readings. That's why there isnt any posts coz i didnt went out. I went to the gym early in the morning to do some workout coz i'm so afraid of putting on weight man. After school, i headed home to have dinner and to plan wif the thai ppl how to celebrate Jay's birthday after midnight. We bought a cake and decided to juz cut the cake at midnight. Then around 9pm, I saw Tom when i was on my way to get my laundry and he told he was going for a party at Hollywood and asked me to come along. He said alot of USC students will be going to and there will be limosines fetching us to the club at 10pm. So, we decided to go.

We dolled ourselves up and i was like super exicited lor... So now its photos time...

Along 28th street waiting to get into the limosines:

Waited too long... So we decided to post with the 3 beautiful limosines... Kaoz.. I bet alot of u haven had a chance to sit in a limosine in ur life rite... Ha... Its so so so kEwL!!!

Inside the limosine... Is super super nice and big. I think it can sit at least 40 ppl (rough estimaition). There's like disco light and nice music system inside lor. And at the side there are champagne for us. Ladie had to pay 10 bucks for the ride to the club and back, with free alchohol. So its really ok =)

Inside the club...

Inside the toilet...

However, something bad bad bad happened... We were there for onli like 1 hr and Joy accidentally stepped on Jay's foot. Then, Jay said her foot hurt so so much that she cant walk. Well to me its quite weird coz Joy was wearing flats and since Joy is small sized, i didnt think that it would hurt so much that Jay cant even walk. But well since she say its that painful, we decided to let her go home. So, we called Eddie (this SUPER hot taiwanese-thai guy) to pick us up and send Jay home. And yes, i haven even start partying and i had to make my way home. So disappointing =(

But since it was Jay's birthday, we had to go home with her to cut her bday cake. Being the 21th birthday princess has the priviledge. So, we head home and planned to surprise her with the cake (which we did manage to of course).

Cutting the cake soon... So sweet and nice.

After the sweet and nice part, the fun and crazy part... Look at this man...

Ben was the one who did this to her and while tryin to be a good sumaritan to clean the cake off Jay, i got innocently attacked *!%#$&#@!!! After that... Stupid Ben run away but all the rest of us got attacked.

Of course, we were not gonna let that Ben off coz he was the cause of all these... I chased with with all my might and... TADAH!!

However, after the fun and crazy mood, i saw this mess and snapped back into reality...

And this is only a small part. The worst thing is the whole apartment has cake and cream all over. And my floor is carpetted!! Upon learning this reality, my mood changed from happy to this...

I was pretty "sian diao" when i saw the mess. I was like "wtf... How the hell am i suppose to clear this mess. It's carpet man... And it's like 130am and i have to wake up at bout 7am the next dae to go to Disneyland..." In the end, we used the kitchen cleaner (a kind of spray) to spray on the carpet and scrub the carpet again and again. Fortunately some jokes were cracked here and there... So the cleaning turned out to be ok...

Joke of that night: Juz when i was super pissed with Ben for starting all these mess depriving me of my sleep, he suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Hey Joelyn u guess wad i found in the sink!" Then he continued to laugh like mad but i cant be bothered coz i was so pissed off. Then he lifted up my caked stained slippers from the sink and said while laughin "What the f*ck is your slippers doing here?" When i looked up an saw my slippers and that look on his face i couldnt help but burst into a big laughter, forgetting all my anger...

Well i ended up sleeping at bout 3am coz i had to clean the house, bathe and wash my clothes.... So... cake anyone?

Outlet Shopping wif SSA

On saturday, i went outet shopping wif the Spore Student Association of USC. I thought they were going to another outlet but then end up we went to the same one... I was realli obedient todae as i didnt buy much. Coz the other time i bought alot le so i decided that this time round i will restrain myself and save money..

There were quite alot of ppl... like 15 of us. I didnt get to know all of them coz we sat i different car so there wasnt much chance to communicate. We separated and shopped individually as our interest were different. My roomie asked me to help her to get a couple of shorts from the outlet coz she said that she trust my taste... Hmm seems like alot of ppl trust my taste huh. Hee... So i helped her to buy 3 shorts which she liked alot! And the size was juz nice too... Of course she paid me back. She went to Downtown LA todae and she bought mi an underwear from victoria's secrets! It was like 5 for $25 so she got one for mi... So nice of her rite...

After shopping at the outlet we went to this restaurant called Penang to have spore & malaysian food. The food was realli gd!

Me and Ellen (the president of SSA) outside the restaurant. The red mazda belongs to Ellen =)

Hann and me. Hann stays along Jalan Jurong Kechil... Those bungalows and semi-detach opp the boys school (where steven tay stays). I was like SO SO surprised when he told me that. It's like so so near lor! Hann is a grad student doing his masters in USC now.

That was my Saturday... Didnt went out at nite coz i wanted to do sme assignment and plan my schedule. I booked air tickets to Hawaii from 20th sept to 23rd sept!! Im gonna go look for Sueann... Sueann's realli nice to allow me to bunk in at her apartent. The air tics alone cost like USD$442 liao... Luckily i dun hav to pay for accomodation....

On Sunday, i cooked lunch for my roomies and myself!

Stir fried chye sim wif garlic...

Fried rice wif cabbage, eggs, shrimp and sasusage. The stupid fryin pan is so small. I had so much difficulty cookin the fried rice coz there's no space for me to flip and fry it lor! Everytime i try to flip it alittle portion of the rice falls out of the pan...

Mapo Tofu wif minced pork. Hee this is my first time cookin this. I saw the paste in China town so i decided to try to cook it. It turned out to be nice =)

Universal Studios Amusement Park!

Hee... Sorry for not blogging for so long.. Gosh, i realise im like getting busier day by day. There are like so much things for me to do. Assignments, projects meetings, household chores, cook my meals, blogging, work out, go out and have fun... blablabla. Hee anyway let me update you with my day at Universal Studios theme park with some NUS frens and others. We got the tickets from the ticket booth in USC and paid only $39 instead of the standard price of $61 =)

Me, JunHao, Joe (from Spain), Jeevan, Natasha (Jeevan's gf from Nus who's going to UC San Diego)

Navigation in process... Hee...

AhHHhh!! A big white shaRk....

Thi is the over view of Universal Hollywood... Where many famou Universal Movies were filmed at. They had realli amazing backdrops and crops... I took the Universal Studio Tram Tour. Well i took it 8 years ago and i feel that some things were still the same! Hee.. never change de lor.

While queing for the tram, i saw this girl in front of me and took a pretty interesting photo... Hee dun u think her pants are like super tight. Seems like it would be pretty hard to breathe man... Haha...

Inside the tram. Junhao, Joe and Me!

Closer view of Jeevan and Natasha. Natasha is a realli pretty lady. And she's like super tall lor. 1.8m... She's taking psychology at NUS.

These are the background for alot of scenes in movies. These architects are not made of bricks. I also dunno wad material they are made of. They look realli real from the picture but when u see it in real life u can tell that it is not a real street.

Cars used in fast and furious... I thought some ppl (such as kor and patrick) might like it so i took it.

This was the scene of a flood... It looked pretty real though...

And this was my favourite scene. Its the prop for War of the Worlds by Steven Steilburg (sorri if i spelt wrongly coz i realli cant be bothered). It looked so real and the details so intricate!!

Me, Frankein Stein and Natasha.

Special effects of fire from the movie BackDraft.

We sat a couple of rides and watched a couple of shows. This was taken in the animal show.. Those animals were super cute and well trained lor...

This little birdie flew to Natasha's hand and took her dollar bill from her hand and gave it to the trainer. Then, it flew back and dropped the dollar bill on Natasha's hand... CuuTttEeeE!

Look at us... Arent we kKkkkeeeeuuuuttTTT? We were waiting to go watch the terminator 3D show...

This is the entrance of the house of horror. There were people inside who will suddenly jump out and grab u to scare the hell out of u!

After Universal Studios, i met Edgar to watch Chuck and Larry at Universal Citywalk. It's a realli nice n funni movie =) Go watch it everyone! Then after movies, i decided to give Edgar a dinner treat to show my appreciation for his time and help. Its alway him who buy me meals n treat me to the movies... And on top of that, i was suppose to go to Magic mountains wif him todae but at the veri last min, Junhao and Jeevan asked me to go to Universal Studio with them so i "fly Edgar's aeroplane". Felt pretty bad bout it... We went to this nice Mexican restaurant. There were quite alot of ppl there but the overall experience was a good one. The lighting was dim and romantic; there was ppl singing on stage, and the food was good =)

After dinner, I needed to buy some groceries so Edgar brought me to the newly opened Ralphs supermarket near my apartment. It's so much bigger and nicer there than the supermarket in the University Village! Then when i got back, my room mate Joy asked mi to accompany her to Thai restaurant cum bar wif her thai frens (some of which i already know). And since the other Thais werent home, i decided to go wif her. Well it was realli fun there. Ly, V, Wendy were too. We had some beer and chilled alittle. There's s live band singing so i kinda liked the ambience there =)

Long weekend due to Labour Day Holiday

Yippie! Had a long weekend as it was a public holiday on Mon due to labour day. But well time juz flies huh. Fri, sat, sun and mon... Now its already tues morning (1 am) and i have to prepare to go to bed and wake up tomorrow for classes. But well its ok.. Coz very soon its gonna be friday again and i dun have classes on fridays! Hee... So let me give a summary for my weekend.

On Saturday, i went to Chinatown with Junhao, my fellow NUS fren who came here for exchange program too. Junhao stays at the same block as me, few units away. So well we took a bus in the noon time to get to China town to do some grocery shopping and have lunch. We bought some basic household stuff as well as some groceries. I had stir fried noodle for lunch... So nice to hav chinese food.

We then went to this place in chinatown that looks alittle like bugis street but the things they sell there are very old school. But i manage to get some super sized tees (5 for 10 dollars) so i could wear them to sleep and for jogging =)

Me and Junhao

At the supermarket, we saw some durians on sale! Its like pretty big in size and by the looks of it, i believe it wont taste good. Ha but anyway im not a fan of durians...

After shopping in Chinatown, we went to catch a movie at the village near our apartment. We watched Halloween and it was quite good. Pretty scary and gruesome though... Then at night, Edgar bought me to a club thats like 10 min drive from my apartment. Its realli nice inside. There were sexy dancers, and even dancers with a strap bouncing here and there from the top. The only bad thing was tat there wasnt any a/c there and i felt that i was like in a suana inside the club. In summary, i had a fun-filled saturday.

On Sunday, i went swimming and suntanning at the inn. These few days has been hot HoT HOT!! Its like even hotter than in spore lor. Dunno wad happened... Then later in the night, i went to a house party wif my room mates. It was onli a few blocks away so we walked there together with some other of their frens. Well the party was ok juz that as i didnt know any of the ppl there, it got kinda bored. So, we left pretty early... Hee.

V kissing me... Heee...

On Monday, i woke up and went to the gym coz i realised that i indeed had put on weight =( I feel that my shorts are alittle tighter. I WoNt allow myself to put on weight so im now officially on a diet. I went to the school's gym and ran for like 5.5km and did the steps like thing (with the hand movement too) for like 2.5km. Man i was like so so tired i juz dozed off in the evening.

Oh yea there were lotsa cute and super fit guys in the gym... Hee my eyes juz couldnt stop wandering around...

The girls toilet...

ater in the night, Edgar said he wanna bring me to Speedzone. Its like Go Kart Racing but very safe. It was realli nice n fun. We did 2 rides; one is like normal racing and the other is slower but the track is more slippery so u have to handle the turns better.

Edgar'f father's truck. I like it though. Its bigger and more comfy.

Outside speedzone... All eager to go in =)

These are the "cars" that we used to race.

And this is the track that we use the karts to race on =)

Candid shot!

Me inside the car all ready to race!

I made a pact with Edgar. If he wins mi in both matches, im gonna buy him dinner. And if i wins either one of the matches or both of it, he will treat me to dinner. Ha and guess wad... I WON BOTH! I am the racing queen... Edgar not only paid for the rides, he bought me Jack in the box. Hee well realli gotta thank him =)

In Jack in the Box:

Santa Monica Beach~

Today has been a great great FriDaY~!! I woke up bout 10 plus and had a muffin for breakfast. Then, i did some household chores and chatted wif my room mates. The 3 girls would be going to San Deigo over the weekend so that would mean that im all alone for the weekend... But well thats not so bad coz im used to it le. Hee...

As i finally managed to shift my classes to pack them into the first 4 days of the week, it meant that my fridays would be free. So, Edgar brought me to Santa Monica today. I was realli excited as i had wanted to go to the beach for so long! Edgar reached about 2 plus and we headed off for the beautiful Santa Monica Beach... Oh the beach was really pretty. Its not like Sentosa... Its much bigger and the view was awesome. I had so much fun there.

Beside the beach was Santa Monica Pier. They had fastfood restaurants and some shops there. Nothing fantastic but the view of the sea from the pier was great. A pity after suntanning i left my bag (with my camera inside) in Edgar's car before we walked down to the pier to grab a bite. So, i didnt manage to take photos of the view from the pier =( But thats ok coz at least i have the beach!

The Santa Monica Pier...

There were some hotels and apartments facing the beach which painted an awesome background. How wonderful it would be if i could stay there...

Getting all ready for some sun!

Enjoying my sun-bathing session....

Edgar placed 3 sea shells on my lap. I call them Papa, Mama and Baby shells =)

Beautiful shots:

After having my fair share of the sun, we decided to go grap a bite at the pier as i was starving. They dun have shower rooms in the toilet for beach users to bathe so i had to wash up using the shower outside the toilet. Man it was cold! It was pretty windy so i was like shaking when i washed. Edgar thought it was funny so he kept taking shots of me washing up in the open.

Actually although the sun was pretty glaring, i didnt get as tanned as i usually would in spore. Duno whether its bcoz the sun is not as strong as in spore, or was it due to the constant wind. Hee... Wadever the case, at least i had some sun =) So after having a chilli cheese burger at the pier, we walked around the pier before heading to 3rd street Promenade. Its like a street with shopping, lots of restaurant and theatres.

Along the way to 3rd street promenade. This shot was taken from Edgar's car. I thought the trees were really pretty. These trees are a common sight in LA though...

At 3rd street promenade:

After bumping around the street, we decided to catch a movie. We bought tickets for Bourne Ultimate at 730pm. The show was ok. I didnt really understand coz i dun remember wad part 1 and 2 were about. Hee after movie, we continue to bump around.

I realli had an enjoyable day today =) Really have to thank Edgar for bringing me around coz in this foreign land i realli dunno hw to go about visiting places =)
