Travelling over the weekend

Hihi peeps!
once again, to make utilize our stay in Berkeley, we went out over the weekend. Had a great time with all the nice and friendly peeps from CU and NTU! Must keep in touch after we leave berkeley k!

Friday: Alcatraz

It is an island 1.25 miles from San Francisco, yet an unescapeable prison for the most notorious criminals. Now, the prison is closed and opened to public..



Friday Dinner: Singapore Malaysian Restuarant then Cliff House
Niki and Jaycee found a Singaporean restaurant at some place in SF from the web... and due to our extreme cravings for home food.. we ventured and found it!!!

well, the satay sauce is peanut butter..



our mee siam, hokkien mee and curry mee all looked the same.

though the food was a little disappointing... but there was finally the presence of CHILLI... yeah!!!
haha, at least milk tea and coffee has condensed milk inside. Jia de gan jue! (feeling of being at home..haha)
ooh.. after dinner.. jaycee and niki decided to bring me and vic to go see sunset!!! it's really pretty from the Cliff house but it was really freezing tt night..



Saturday: Pigeon Point Lighthouse, Aquarium, Montegery 17 miles
I can't really differentiate the photos taken at the lighthouse and 17 miles.. it's all abt the same lar.. all rocks.. bay.. waves.. it's nice when you see it at the beginning.. but later.. you'll realize tt all photos seem to be abt the same stuff.. haa~ but quite spectacular though..













The Monetery bay Aquarium is the top 3 tourist attraction in US. Its a really nice place to be in!



The sea otter is so so so cute! Just like us... lol


This photo of sunset was taken around 9pm.. this shows our long days and short nights.. no wonder we are turning to pandas.. sleeping so little


Sun set at the pacific ocean.. magnificient! But the wind was so strong that it almost blow us away... i am serious leh...

Sunday: Strawberry picking, Gilroy





Strawberries ripe from the vines... we are supposed to pick and put them into the baskets, then pay $2 per pound... but, these red little berries just look so good... So we just pick and put in our mouth directly! hehe...
Gilroy is the biggest factory premium outlet around our area.. but tt's still abt a 2 hr drive away... though it was a paradise for me.. i didn't really buy much this time! learnt to be a good gal.. cus i spent too much money already!!! haa~ (lulu)

Haiz... there is a presentation due in 3 days time and a mid term due in 4 days! we need 48 hrs in a day!!
BUt we had a lot of fun this weekend.. thanks peeps for making it possible!
Missing all of you back at home.... we'll be back soon! yeah!!!
