everytime i see this photo i cant help laughing HAHA!! at first we didnt know that we had to pay a tip for any photo that we took with the characters OMG so the only character that my bro took with was BARNEY -_- and he even sang "i love you" omgomg HAHAHA so loser la!

dont u think capt jack sparrow looks so so real! i like his makeup woots! and he is even more realistic than the one in disneyland!

anw aft the tour we rented a car and drove down to the resort where we stayed for next 5 days.. they have a fireplace at the lobby how cool is that (esp when itz FREEZING outside)!!!

lunch and dinner was hotdogs and jack-in-the box btw (more western urgh)..

DAY THREE

we went to SEAWORLD :)!!! they had so many shows to watch :)..

above are some of the sea animals in some of the shows.. the sea lion show was SO SO CUTE and the pink walrus on the top right IS DAMN FAT i tell you... it glides arnd like a huge lump of fat NOT KIDDING hahaha... shamu the killer whale (bottom left) was their star animal and its skin looks so shiny and i really wanted to feel it =(..

they also had this pet show where they adopted pet animals such as cats, dogs, pigs and ducks and trained them to do tricks.. it's really cool that US does have such practices.. hollywood also get their animal actors from animal homes as well :)..

lunch was pizza (surprise surprise -_-) but we had CHINESE FOOD for dinner! it SUCKED though!! really salty and i caused my sore throat the next day hmph!

DAY FOUR

DISNEYLAND - PART ONE =D!!!

hahah we took a photo of all the rides that we sat on but too many to post up hehe.. we saw fireworks too! VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL.. if you ask me it was even better than the ones at the fireworks festival cos they came blasting out according to the tune of the music and i was so touched that i felt like crying!! shall elaborate more on disneyland part 2 later..

and everyone congratulate me I SAT ON A ROLLERCOASTER :)... haha itz quite rare that i actually agree to ride on one.. but it only lasted about 28 secs -_-.. and it prob was the most un-life threatening ride cos it was the one in fantasyland hahaha..

oooh and dinner was at some roadside japanese stall DAMN SHIOK!! i finally ate rice worthy of being called rice! hahaha but too bad i had sorethroat so cldnt enjoy it thoroughly hees.. and i thot i'll nv say this but i got SICK of coke/coke light can u believe it?? I ACTUALLY GOT SICK OF COKE! cos i drank it every lunch and dinner =X.. ice tea tasted WEIRD there..

DAY FIVE

universal studios - the place where i met so many characters wheee!!

haha this was our fav pasttime wherever we went.. pressed coin souvenirs!! i have four mini books full of them.. it's cheap and cool.. you put in a penny and they press it into the pattern you want.. of course you have to pay 50cents for it la but still VERY CHEAP AND NICE :)... tho aft a while my mum got irritated and impatient hahaha..

RESEMBLENCE: 100% hahahahaha =P..

and this is my fav pic of ALL TIME =D:

HARRY! MY NEW CRUSH!!! hahaha..

haha so lame!! and i remind myself of charlie chaplin I HAVE NO IDEA WHY hahaha..

i find this photo highly amusing HAHAHA

and last of all SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!!!!!!!!!!! :)..

DAY SIX

Disneyland - part two

and aft the fireworks we experienced foam snow! hehe..

Disneyland is really the "happiest place on Earth".. everything/one there is so joyful and merry and the colours of the buildings are so bright etc.. i have finally found a job that is stressfree and enjoyable!!

i wanna be a disney character, preferably a princess!! and im not being lame or childish -_-.. mostly all you need to do is to smile and take photos with small kids who simply adore you.. then at night you will have to participate in the parade where the prince will dance and carry you just like channing tatum! HAHA that's like the closest i can get to channing tatum..

but ahh well there isnt a disneyland in spore where i can work in =( sighh.. disneyland is just so happy and peaceful and i love the fireworks :)..

DAY SEVEN

Wild Animal Park

highly amusing photo no. 2 hahaha

GUESS WHAT. we arrived at Legoland at 4.15pm, and it closed at 5pm!! HAHA so we had free parking and free entry to the park... but in the end we shopped arnd in the shop and didnt even go on any rides haha ohwells..

DAY SEVEN

we didnt do much again today.. left the resort and took an internal flight from LA to reno, rented another (bigger and more automated) car and drove up to another resort in lake tahoe.. ate dinner at Denny's (VERY VERY VERY YUMMY=D)

DAY EIGHT

and when we woke up the next morn IT WAS SNOWING!!!!!

we're really lucky to have experienced snow cos a few weeks prior to this it wasnt snowing at lake tahoe! and our whole purpose of our trip was for my bro to feel snow! furthermore we had cut short our tahoe trip to three days so we were REALLY lucky that it snowed that day!! cos the next day it had stopped snowing alr! HOW COOL IS THAT RIGHT!

my sister made the first snowman: Mr. Little Man :)

and when the blizzard stopped, we took a sleigh ride up the mountain:

and after that we made Mr. Sleigh Man =D!! (he's wearing my cap!!)

DAY NINE & TEN

after that short time of "winter wonderland", my dad drove down to my uncle's house at san francisco where we saw attractions such as Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, Crooked street, Chinatown and crossed the Golden Gate Bridge.. but too bad it was too foggy to catch a scenic view of the bridge =(..

and they brought us to eat, eat and EAT! wah the japanese buffet SHIOK MAN!!

cousins..

Ahhh HEAVEN :)...

yup so that basically sums up my holiday :)... i almost spent all my money, just had a remainder of US$11 haha.. i think my dad's pocket has a HUGE hole though =X... the ticket fares to all the attractions alr amounted to S$1000++ can u imagine!! i think i'll have to live on coffeeshop food for the nx few mths haha..

during this holiday i also talked more to my sis haha i mean afterall we only have each other -_- but OHBOY she complains ALOT man!! every single thing seems to annoy her and that annoys me too grr!

oh ya and US rented cars have this new GPS thing IT'S REALLY COOL... it tracks your car via satellite and helps you find your destination... and when you make a wrong turn, it recalculates your route and you almost NEVER get lost! but there're setbacks too... our GPS hung once HAHA! and my dad got lost cos of that hehe.. and there are some roads that the GPS somehow cant track too..

ahh actually i have more things to blog about but it's alr 3.30am!! in conclusion, i enjoyed myself in US but i havent decided if it's worth it to take another 18hr plane ride there hahaha..

p/s: i have decided that instead of wanting to go overseas to study, i'll rather work harder in the local uni so that i'll be able to get the attachment overseas for a few mths :).. it'll prob be much more suitable for a un-independent person like me haha...

p/p/s: i wanted to check out the uni that my other cousin was studying in but there wasnt enought time SO WASTED =(.. i really wanna get a feel of how overseas schools are like.. do you think it's like what you watch in movies? hahaha...

p/p/p/s: BLOGGER BETTER PUBLISH THIS POST OR ELSE...
