Sumimasen!

Hi everyone!


Its been a long time since our last post.. Coz we started travelling around on friday and our "tour" ended on tuesday right before our lesson at 1pm. Dont worry too much peeps, we had lotsa fun!! Sorry for not updating coz we are only back in the hostel at arnd 10 or 11pm...time flies when we are having fun.



Friday: NIght at laundry room







Lulu's add on: Vic gave me a step by step guide on how to wash clothes... so i'm pro now!




Saturday: Winchester House, Mystery Spot and Fisherman's Wharf

Winchester House- This is a house tt has been built by the wife of a man who owns the rifle company. In order to ward away all the spirits that she felt were after her, she decided to build a hse continuously without stopping for 38 years, 24 hours a day.. so her house is extrememly big.. and the hse is really werid... there were windows tt open into walls... stairs tt lead to nowhere, doors tt lead straight down 3 storeys into the garden... it was said to be built like tt to confuse the spirits... SCARY!!!!!!!! i was freaking out... but had to go in cus we travelled all the way there...












Mystery Spot:


Its a fascinating place that demonstrates some strange phenomenon that science couldnt explain. This is the first day that we first chiong S shaped roads downhill at sg's highway speed... seriously need seasick pills.. lol.




Eek, how come there is a mysterous guy standing beside our group? no wonder this place is called mystery spot..


Fisherman's Wharf


tt day tt we went there was so cold...there was even smoke coming out from our mouth when we spoke!!! my gosh... summer kk??? but the food kept us contented... clam chowder soup rocks!!!




Sunday: Lake Tahoe

Magnificent Emerald Bay and Eagle Waterfall










Look at the water... super nice right?? haa~ some of our frens in hall say tt we look like we were superimposed into the background.. but.. it was REAL!!! nice!




oooh.. the girl with the yellow shirt is Niki.. we spent the past few days with her and her bf, Jaycee.. they were really nice ppl!!! from ntu too... poor Jaycee had to drive 1000 miles... hit his record in his life! haa~ at 160km/hr! but he was indeed zai...







Supersize and normal Mcdonalds' meal


ooh.. and the drinks are refillable! can u imagine drinking so much??? i think we'll just explode



pics taking at the lake-side.. it's not a seaside... but it's much bigger than siloso beach or east coast beach! a car ride around the entire lake takes 5 hours!!! hee~


Monday: Shopping At Factory outlets



we were eating ice-cream in a morning tt i guess was around 10 degrees cold.... brave girls... but it was worth it!!! ice cream here is so good...



hee~ look at the radiance of my face??? cus it's SHOPPING time...


Tuesday: Welcome to Albany

We had chinese cai fan as breakfast for only US$4, the portion is really huge, all the food is overflowing from the takeaway container. Satisfied!


These few days had been an eye opener for us. To Super mario and niki: Thank you so much for bringing us arnd and spending so much time and effort to plan the trips! OF coz, not forgetting the record breaking distance travelled!!!Haha, we are all back safe in one piece.. lol... We are not gong gong ku ni hun (blur blur milk powder??!!!?) k!


Lets go and travel around soon!

Freezing!!

Lulu, me and Carmen(a v nice fren from hk) are finally in Chinatown, san franscisco and Union square!! Surprisingly, all 3 of us managed to go there and come back in one piece.. hehee, had lotsa fun and took lotsa photos.. near to 250 pics? Share those with u guys after we go back to singapore.Quite a few funny encounters today, but shall elaborate more tml!

Pics time

San franscisco is a really cool place.. both interesting and cold.. u can actually see clouds passing by the buildings, something like gentin highland.

Got back to hostel at arnd 7pm.. really tired today.. so updates tml! cya!

Lulu's add on: Hee~ i think i look nice in the photo! wooHoo... so i decided to post this too.. nice nice??
Oh... and i was quite home sick on tt day.. probably cus the weather was too cold and we were feeling quite lost at times when in San Francisco.. so i felt like i want my mummy!!! hee~ baby behaviour.... but i'll be fine:) gota grow up and learn to be independent!
Missing all...

carrying BIG shopping bags to lesson..

Me and vic missed breakfast at the crossroads today cus we were skyping our mums... so we had cup noodles and I finally had my 3-in-1 coffee!! wooHoo.. it's great to taste nice coffee again... coffee here is not nice at all.. it's tasteless.. i wanna drink kopi-c! haa~

We tried to wake up early to go shopping today.. spent about 2 hours shopping! and bought loads of stuff.. really loads of them!!! when we had only visited 2 stores.. haa~ and we had to carry all our shopping bags to lessons.. it was a little embarassing cus most of our frens came and asked us what we bought.. haa~

gosh.. and we've got an international business assignment due next wednesday... it's graded! hiaz.. so FAST... i guess we have to rush through it cause we've got travelling plans for the next 4 days... hiaz.. poor us.. i wana PLAY...

hee~ so proud of myself today! i raised my hand and participated in the discussion.. wooHoo... we've been trying to hide from the crowd cus we are rather conscious of our pronounciation.. but today.. i felt brave and tried! it was... a little bad though.. haa~ the whole class turned and looked at me.. haa~ i guess it's cus they felt tt my accent was werid.. i felt like an alien.. hee~ but who cares! i'm still proud of myself :p
Vic was brave too! she answered a question during macroecons lesson and the teacher was quite impressed.. hee~ zai gal!

oh yar.. and since we felt tt we didn't take many photos today.. we've decided to introduce to all of you more about the Crossroads.. haa~ since it's the place tt we'll be at EVERYDAY..

it's our canteen tt serves 3 meals a day.. me and vic have 14 meals provided there per week and we are really sick of it there.. but it's a really really nice place with a great ambience.. much much nicer than any hall canteens in NTU... but the food there is quite yucky.. salad, burger, pastries, cornflakes... everday! oh gosh.. but they have an asian corner.. which is.. hiaz... not too good

we'll be going to San Fracisco's Chinatown tmr by ourselves.. 3 gals.. me, vic and another hk fren. will try taking the BART (equivalent of the MRT).. hope we won't get lost! oh.. and i can't spend so much money anymore.. i'm going broke!!!

And from Sat-Mon.. we'll be going along with another couple from NTU for travelling.. they rented a car and will drive to some places... erm.. i guess it'll be an interesting experience but quite scary.. cus cars drive super fast here.. and it's LH drive.. but i'm still excited! hope all will go well and we'll enjoy ourselves.. will bring more photos back for all of you!

haa~ felt tt we didn't really take alot of photos today.. so I came up with dumb ideas in the room.. but it's not bad.. make me look tall!!! haa~

Missing all of you back home badly.. and the Singaporean food too!
