Then when to San Diego…. went to a very famous park there…

The park there is really different with the park in Singapore…

There’s musuems, street performances, exhibitions, etc… in the park!

You really can spend the whole day in the park… =)

Then when to a place called Long Beach…

The funniest thing is, the place is not a beach! it’s a pier… very funny!

But it’s still fun!

And, finally, i get to ask a handsome out this time….

Wanted to know him long ago, erm… since i came here?

Las Vegas –> New York –> Disney California

jewel85 — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 06:55:28 +0000

Hey ya!!! It’s been too busy for travelling here and there in the past 2 weeks…. Finally get to sit down and post this entry…. Well, we went to las vegas just one day before our New York trip…. After we have settled our housing in Irvine…. we decided to go away from Irvine and Santa Ana…. Coz it’s too quiet over here that we dunno what to do… We can spend our whole day in the hotel room and played cards…. Kinda boring huh., so, we decided to rent a car and go Las Vegas!!! Well, i wouldnt say that it’s a right choice… But i would say that i’m happy that i went Vegas… =) Even though i lost my baby LG chocolate phone that day…. Sad… byebye baby, mummy will miss u!!! Thanks Mad for lending me her cell phone… That’s my 1st time driving in States (Driver seat is on left hand side)… It’s Amazing that i could drive to Vegas, take turn with Sab… (It’s a 5-6 hours drive) Well, there’s some incident happened on our way to Vegas…. Heehee, but end up, everything turned fine =) Dun worry =) there’s frightening, but everyone’s safe =) Well, reached Vegas @ aorund 9pm… wow, it’s late already…. Then we ‘chop chop’ go around the strip area… Well, thanks to my information… we got a hotel in the strip area with a very cheap price =) Budget yet good deal!!! it’s a super duper rushing trip coz we only have one night to go around vegas!!! Then went to a casino with Vince for half an hour until 4 plus in the morning…. Wow wow, guess how much i’e won? Keekee… 5 bucks!!! Buahaha….. eh, at least i did win some money la!!! Woke up @ 9am the next day… Didnt sleep much, yet i need to drive first… Coz if i let Sab drives 1st, i would sleep in the car until we’ve reached the airport to New York… That’s why i try my best to drive as long as i can still keep myself awake =) Well, was so scared that we would missed the flight… Luckily, we made it!!! Well, i would say that, we keep chasing for the flight for these trips in States… Haahaa…. u know what? we always get the priority to check in and dun have to queue…. coz, we’re always too last minute!!! Heehee, paiseh paiseh, that’s all my suggestion…. and this is all taught by my sis…. ooopppssss….. The flight to New York was delayed for about 2 hours…. yawn…. slept in the airport without looking after my image…. Oooppsss…… Yeah, finally, we have reached New York… The hotel we stayed in was super nice!!! Called Hyatt Place in New Jersey… Highly recommended to you if u’re going New York next time… It’s another Budget but great deal!!! Will show you all the photo soon here!!! Well, it’s too cosy until we keep sleeping in New York…. Oh gosh….. =P But we still managed to go most of the places… We went to Time Square for our christmas celebration, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Central Park, Ice-skating in Bryant Park, 5th Ave, madame tussauds and believe it or not, and watched a broadway show named Les Misearable… So, quite alot of things huh =) Well, we meet different kind of ppl in New York… It’s really different kind, different race, different character, different style…. and, we like to ask direction from the police… The police there are really helpful and friendly, take a look @ my photo after i have uploaded, we took photo with police twice, and that’s part of the helpful police only =) Again, we almost missed the flight back to irvine… Haahaa, coz it’s in the morning 6am… and we almost over slept… But i’m really thankful and think that we are lucky…. =) Moved in to our apartment when we touched down in Irvine on 29th Dec…. Rented a car again…. so that we can buy furniture and neccessity from Walmart and Ikea… Well, i would say that our apartment looks like a home, everyone says so =) You will feel like a home when u come to my place =) Haahaa…. Well, managed to meet PW the next day…. Hooray… Party Party…. well, i wont say much about the detail of the party… What i can say is……… we had fun!!! it’s crazy though!!! Thanks PW for coming!!! =) and Thanmks Auntie & Uncle for those water, tea, chips and food!!! Haahaa…. Then went to Fartory Outlet on the 2nd Jan =) Well, i didnt buy much, i only bought 2 items, but i really like them =) Then went to school on the 3rd and 4th Jan for orientation, nothing much… keekee, but met the handsome in my previous blog again there…. Too bad, still didnt get to know him… =P Went to Disney on the 5th Jan, keekee, coz Vince keeps saying he wanna go as he’s leaving soon…. So we managed to go there by bus…. Well, again, it’s kinda hurry… but again, it’s fun!!! I love the roller coaster in the Adventure Park @ California!!! Wow x 1000!!! It’s really shiok!!! Haahaa…. Went to a buffet @ 9 dollars opposite Disney for dinner…. We got home in the midnight, and slept for a while…. Then sent VInce off to the airport in the early morning around 6am… Yawn…again, it’s a last minute check in!!! haahaa…. Well, after staying with us for around 3 weeks plus, he finally leaving to Vancouver!!! Haahaa… and now left with Tien who will sometime come oever our palce to visit us, or maybe cook for us, bring desert for us… Heehee, thanks Tien!!! Glad that u are here!!! Well, going back to school life this week…. A different kinda school life…. Trying to adapt…. Hopefully everything turns out fine for me =) Let’s working hard together for our goals!!! Jia you and take care… Let’s keep in touch online =) Miss ya!!!

My 1st 2 days in California~~~

jewel85 — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 13:25:44 +0000

After my 18 hours flight…. Finally, i reached LA!!! Yawn… then took an one hour bus to the hotel that we booked — Travelodge!!! Well, it’s not like what i tot before i came here…. The beds are big enuf for 4 of us… but just it’s kinda squeezy for our luggages (8 big pieces in total) Haha… shall talk about my roomie for this trip… Mad — the gal sleeps beside me, who would wake up out of sudden and dreamtalk… Sab — the gal who always looking for her stuff around…. Vince — the guy who likes everyone does everything together… Haahaa…. they’re just too fun to go travelling with!!! They creates lotsa fun and jokes!!! Abit jet lag…. 4pm in the afternoon here looks like 7pm in Singapore… 6pm here like 9pm in Sg…. Sky getting dark, and the weather makes us feel like eating dinner even it’s only 5pm plus…. Buahaha…… Went to open a bank account @ Wells Fargo…. Got a very cute horse called Maggie as a free gift… heehee…. Then got my prepaid cell phone too…. In the shop, we met a super handsome!!! Wow wow wow, it’s hard to say how handsome he is, but just everyone of us was amazed by him!!! In the evening, went to view an apartment today… It’s an unit with one bedroom, one bathroom, walk-in closet, furnished kitchen… The bad thing about the unit are that it’s dark at night coz there’s no lamp post… and it’s without furniture… But overall, not bad… hopefull could have done this by this week =) Well, eating mostly fast food this few days…. abit sien already… Can i have some cheap but nice food? and no tips!!! We have to pay tips here always… wuwuwu….. it’s so expensive to pay for the tips… Can we exempted from paying tips?

jewel85 — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 06:46:17 +0000

HAahaa….

It’s me again….

Went to McDonald in my school for dinner last Friday after our Development tutorial class…

Well, i just being tired of wearing my high heels, so reluctant to walk…

FIY, McDonald is the nearest eateries from my class =P

Heehee…. Thanks Feny and XN for willing to go there with me =)

Well, we are like partying over there….

3 of us eating the same things…. and additional one McFLurry!!! My favourite!!!

Then when we were eating, i realized something….

We are just like animals in the aquarium, or zoo….

haahaa….

Why?

It’s because glass walls are all around the Place….

So, whenever we see our friends outside, then we will wave at them….

Heehee, somehow showing off that we were enjoying food!!!

And some of them waved at us, some of them used their body language and communicate with us….

And some of them just starred at us!!!

Haahaa….. It’s just funny!!!

I wondered they are the animals or we are the animals

buahaha…. kidding kidding, frens, no offence,k =P

Well, didnt go back JB this weekends….

Doing my project reports finalize, presentation slides, tutorial and more….

Heehee…. but i think i can make it done =)

so, so far no stress yet =D

However, there;s something worrying me!!!

Everyone of my schoolmates got their reply from UC already, except me!!!

I’m quite worried…. Is there something wrong with my application?

But i tot i received their offer letter to my palce already?

But why i haven got the student package that they’re supposed to send to my school?!

Hmm….

Friends, pray for me,k….

I am really scared?! =(

I just dun like to wait!

Well, done my complaints….

going back to my work….

Take care everyone =)

Just like what a fren told me, stress comes by ownself… mentally problem… So when u tell yourself there’s no stress, then there wont be… So, i went out with frens the whole night with my high heels until the next morning, well, it’s torturing!!! i ended up with bare feet on the street! Then after 3 hours sleep, went out with another fren for shopping!!! buahaha! crazy me! but, i’m happy!!! =P Then what, bought my favourite donuts! YEah!!! Then reached home, continuosly few days, i slept until 1pm next day!!! Wow, i am a real piggy!!! Then went out @ night every Friday since then… oooppppssss!!! What about this friday? I dunno…. but somehow, i become a drinker!!! Well, i am not really great in drinking, just, i like drinking! buahaha……. As all my projects coming to the end, i think it would be better next month? I hope so…… Waiting for my Exchange program confirmation letter, erm, actually received it arleady, now only waiting for the student package they send to NUS registrar office…. To be honest, i am quite worried about my visa thingy, so, can i get the things soon? pls? Well, FIY, i am going to UCI (University of California, Irvine) nearby Orange County!!! Haahaa, so watching The O.C this few days….. buahaha…… Well, i think it’s late… should go and sleep now, tml morning class… =P Night everyone!!! Lalalala……….
