i was reading about the rides si min took in taiwan. and then i recalled my own frightening experience. if you have not read abt it and cannot find it in my blog, read on.
Yesterday we went to Hollywood late in the morning. We went to every show, tour and ride, except for the tribute. The jurrasic park and the mummy was so so scary! The jurrasic park had a 84-foot-drop! That’s like ten storeys high? And we didn’t even know it was a roller coaster! We just happily sat on it thinking it was an educational ride! And the drop was in total darkness! It was already so scary let alone not knowing what lies ahead! I thought the wild wild west I did in gold coast, the 15m drop, was already an achievement! And I conquered the almost 26m 90 degrees vertical plunge into darkness! Yeah it was totally dark! Oh gosh, how did I ever survive??!
And the mummy was worse! My bro told me that it was a 3D ride but it turned out to be a roller coaster again! We came to a stop a few feet from the entrance and then the nightmare started! We sped up to more than 100km per hr into total darkness and suddenly. We swerved left, right, up, down. It seemed like eternity. And then the worst part came. We stop. And then the whole thing went backwards! At the same speed! Before it moved backwards I was telling myself oh shucks I think if we are going backwards at this speed im dead. It seemed like eternity again. And then it stopped and turned. Then I thinking if it is going for another ride I seriously dunno what is gg to happen to me. But the door opened. I heaved a huge sigh of relief. Throughout the whole ride my eyes were kept shut. My hands clutched the bars until blood stopped flowing. My legs were squeezed tightly (so was my bladder). My teeth were clenched tight (although this phrase is used for anger I think it fits more when you are so afraid). If you did see the photo they took you could see I was near to tears. I will never never willingly sit that again! I had enough of roller coasters!
more abt the ride from the site: revenge of the mummy- the ride is more than a roller coaster. its a psychological adventure that will tap into your most primal fears like...
lysgophobia- fear of the dark (i fear that)
entomophobia- fear of insects (i fear that)
tachophobia- fear of speed (i fear that)
acrophobia- fear of heights (i fear that)
demonophobia-fear of evil spirits (i fear that)
necrophobia- fear of death (i fear that)
so advanced its scary! fusing in an electro-magnetic propulsion launch system with new linear-induction motor ride tracjs, revenge of the mummy- the ride employs the same technology used in futuristic magnetic levitation trains and marks a new evolution in roller coasters.
sickening hollywood!!! why didnt u give me a detailed explanation of the ride in advanced? i didnt even noe what to expect! im terrified! totally terrified!
i was telling si min at least her seats were secured. but in the jurassic park it wasnt. my sis almost flew out of her seat! she was scared stiff i tell u! now she has a phobia of plunges! i experienced that feeling before. last time i sat a water ride the seat was wet. so i lifted my butt from the seat hoping to adjust my pants so it wun stick to my butt and then we plunged down! my heart flew out of my mouth! its like falling from that height! but at least unlike my sis it wasnt 90 degrees and it wasnt in the dark and it wasnt 84 foot and it was my own fault...
ok enough of rides, now more of complaints! whats with my sis and bro??! they want my mum to buy jeans for them coz their friends wear jeans! sheesh! we all hated jeans from young! and i still hate that material! my sis insisted on buying one even though the fading colour made her look stunted! coz her friends wear jeans! stupid isnt it? my friends wear jeans too but doesnt mean i have to force myself to wear that! im very happy and satisfied with my new Tommy Hilfiger pants that was way too expensive even i thought it wasnt worth it! and i hereby proclaim that i dun have jeans and im not gg to get one coz my friends wear jeans! i wun get one even if i noe my future husband wears it! my Tommy Hilfiger pants is better than jeans ok! why do u want to be so normal? why cant u be special? be different? why do u want to follow the crowd? ur friends commit suicide then u also go and die issit? stupidity! i wun give in to peer pressure! i brush peer pressure aside! i create my own world! i do things i like! i am not bothered abt what pple think or what they say about me! i am who i am! i am me! i am different! i am special in my own ways! and get this straight! im not the norm! whether u like it or not i wun change my ways to suit u! u might say im selfish but thats who i am! if u dun like it u can dun mix around with me! u just have to accept me for who i am and like me for who i am! i am not the norm!! i hate to be part of the norm!! if i change myself just to be part of the norm then i shouldnt exist! coz im just part of something that is already there! my existence wun change anything! my existence isnt needed! my existence doesnt mean anything!

We shopped the whole day!! Non-stop!! I bought 2 more handbags from hush puppy, some tops and 1 pair of shorts. I wonder how im going to use so many handbags. My bro was complaining that I buy so many handbags. Oh well, its none of his business! He’s not the one paying! And its worth it ok! My sis is still admiring her timberland sling bag. It costs about S$30, supposedly very very cheap. She was saying that in Singapore even a normal sling bag will cost about that much let alone timberland brand. I cant be bothered la, I’m not interested in sling bags anyway. I prefer handbags!

We went to the bay this morning and saw sea lions again but this time they were swimming. We were in the mountains most of the time and stopped by the beach. I went down with a pack of chips and then the squirrels came to me!! One of them even jumped onto me! It also scratched my hand and touched my half eaten chip and so I fed the chip to that squirrel. It ate right before me! It was so adorable! My mum took a lot of photos of me with the squirrels so I will upload them.
We thought that we had to camp out in the mountains but fortunately we made it to the town in time! And along the way we saw a fantastic view of the sun setting!

We finally reached los angeles yesterday! We went to another factory outlet yesterday morning and I bought 2 pants at bass there. In the evening we visited santa monica college. My dad insisted that we go there so that he can prove to me that it is a much lower class college compared to Stanford. Yeah it was, duh! But I didn’t expect the people there to be like how should I put it? Erm rojak? Even the guys there weren’t as cute as stanfords! And the campus itself wasn’t that great. Maybe it was a right choice to stay and do junior college here in Singapore.
We just dropped my mum off at the airport. She is flying to st louis and will be back on fri night. I lent her my ultra warm liz Claiborne branded gloves coz its pretty warm here and its freezing there in st louis so I dun need it. Im such a good daughter right?
Earlier in the morning I bought a very expensive spagattei strap blouse. At least it looks expensive and formal so I can wear with pants to dinners, I dun have to hunt for a dress. I also bought a blouse which is sports wear. it is very nice but would I wear it? I hardly exercise!
Oh and I bought 2 pairs of high heels!! 2 pairs!! One is purple the other is blue. I will be wearing them to shows in las vegas!
We are currently on the way to Hollywood! My dad was saying if you want to visit any famous actors or actresses you can just go and knock on their door! Will we get the chance to get any autographs??
US time: 15 Dec 11:05pm

I didn’t make it into hwa chong. I was posted to national. Oh man there goes my scholarship! Im so disappointed.
Yesterday we went to Hollywood late in the morning. We went to every show, tour and ride, except for the tribute. The jurrasic park and the mummy was so so scary! The jurrasic park had a 84-foot-drop! That’s like ten storeys high? And we didn’t even know it was a roller coaster! We just happily sat on it thinking it was an educational ride! And the drop was in total darkness! It was already so scary let alone not knowing what lies ahead! I thought the wild wild west I did in gold coast, the 15m drop, was already an achievement! And I conquered the almost 26m 90 degrees vertical plunge into darkness! Yeah it was totally dark! Oh gosh, how did I ever survive??!
And the mummy was worse! My bro told me that it was a 3D ride but it turned out to be a roller coaster again! We came to a stop a few feet from the entrance and then the nightmare started! We sped up to more than 100km per hr into total darkness and suddenly. We swerved left, right, up, down. It seemed like eternity. And then the worst part came. We stop. And then the whole thing went backwards! At the same speed! Before it moved backwards I was telling myself oh shucks I think if we are going backwards at this speed im dead. It seemed like eternity again. And then it stopped and turned. Then I thinking if it is going for another ride I seriously dunno what is gg to happen to me. But the door opened. I heaved a huge sigh of relief. Throughout the whole ride my eyes were kept shut. My hands clutched the bars until blood stopped flowing. My legs were squeezed tightly (so was my bladder). My teeth were clenched tight (although this phrase is used for anger I think it fits more when you are so afraid). If you did see the photo they took you could see I was near to tears. I will never never willingly sit that again! I had enough of roller coasters!
And after those 2 worst rides in the world, Disneyland is nothing! If you are such a chicken at heart like me, go sit those 2 rides at Hollywood and then any other rides you sit is peanuts! Oh I forgot to mention we went to Disneyland today! It was very pretty! But the highlight was the fireworks! That was spectacular! If you did think singapore’s fireworks were nice then all I can say is that you are blind! I can tell you Singapore fireworks sucks! Even the national day parade one is not even 1% as good as Disneyland’s! you just go wow and wow and wow at disneyland! It was the best fireworks display I saw and most probably will remain the best!
As for the rides, they were mostly kiddies lah or maybe coz I survived hollywood’s already. The queue time was so so long! There was one that we queued for almost 1 and a half hrs! I am so fed up! But the fireworks and “snow” compensated for everything!
And there were so many babies there! On the way out there was human traffic jam and then the prams keep ramming into us! Why in the first place did u have to bring babies there? Are you that stupid to think that a 2 or 3 years old child can remember anything from that trip?! It is so dumb ok! Kids dun remember anything! I have a fantastic memory but all I can recall is less than 1% of what I felt and what I saw before I turned 10! Whats the point of wasting time, energy and money? I wun be as stupid as these parents to bring my kids there until they pass 15 years of age. Only then whatever they see will forever remain etched in their memory! Those parents are so stupid! So stupid! I so wanted to yell that in their face! My dad was saying every parent hopes that their child would be smarter than that. But instead of saying that kids are dumb I rather say that the parents are dreaming! Fat hope!
I miss the food at home! The nasi lemak, carrot cake, laksa, chicken rice, mee siam….the food here is so salty and so yucky! I was telling my bro I came here so slim and when I go back I will be so fat! No wonder America has so many diabetes, obese, high blood pressure patients! I wun be the least bit surprised!

We went to visit University of Southern California and Caltech yesterday and UC San Diego today. Caltech is supposedly #2 in science and engineering. I also realized that it is the #1 stinky school! The place smelt like sewage! Gross! The people were so nerdy and aloof. Anyway it is impossible for me to get in so it doesn’t matter. I felt that UCSD is better than USC. UCSD was surprisingly impressive! They’re medical and science is well known but as for the other areas they are not top top.

But I didn’t expect the people there to be like how should I put it? Erm rojak? Even the guys there weren’t as cute as stanfords! And the campus itself wasn’t that great. Maybe it was a right choice to stay and do junior college here in Singapore.
We just dropped my mum off at the airport. She is flying to st louis and will be back on fri night. I lent her my ultra warm liz Claiborne branded gloves coz its pretty warm here and its freezing there in st louis so I dun need it. Im such a good daughter right?
Earlier in the morning I bought a very expensive spagattei strap blouse. At least it looks expensive and formal so I can wear with pants to dinners, I dun have to hunt for a dress. I also bought a blouse which is sports wear. it is very nice but would I wear it? I hardly exercise!
Oh and I bought 2 pairs of high heels!! 2 pairs!! One is purple the other is blue. I will be wearing them to shows in las vegas!
We are currently on the way to Hollywood! My dad was saying if you want to visit any famous actors or actresses you can just go and knock on their door! Will we get the chance to get any autographs??

I didn’t make it into hwa chong. I was posted to national. Oh man there goes my scholarship! Im so disappointed.
Yesterday we went to Hollywood late in the morning. We went to every show, tour and ride, except for the tribute. The jurrasic park and the mummy was so so scary! The jurrasic park had a 84-foot-drop! That’s like ten storeys high? And we didn’t even know it was a roller coaster! We just happily sat on it thinking it was an educational ride! And the drop was in total darkness! It was already so scary let alone not knowing what lies ahead! I thought the wild wild west I did in gold coast, the 15m drop, was already an achievement! And I conquered the almost 26m 90 degrees vertical plunge into darkness! Yeah it was totally dark! Oh gosh, how did I ever survive??!
And the mummy was worse! My bro told me that it was a 3D ride but it turned out to be a roller coaster again! We came to a stop a few feet from the entrance and then the nightmare started! We sped up to more than 100km per hr into total darkness and suddenly. We swerved left, right, up, down. It seemed like eternity. And then the worst part came. We stop. And then the whole thing went backwards! At the same speed! Before it moved backwards I was telling myself oh shucks I think if we are going backwards at this speed im dead. It seemed like eternity again. And then it stopped and turned. Then I thinking if it is going for another ride I seriously dunno what is gg to happen to me. But the door opened. I heaved a huge sigh of relief. Throughout the whole ride my eyes were kept shut. My hands clutched the bars until blood stopped flowing. My legs were squeezed tightly (so was my bladder). My teeth were clenched tight (although this phrase is used for anger I think it fits more when you are so afraid). If you did see the photo they took you could see I was near to tears. I will never never willingly sit that again! I had enough of roller coasters!
And after those 2 worst rides in the world, Disneyland is nothing! If you are such a chicken at heart like me, go sit those 2 rides at Hollywood and then any other rides you sit is peanuts! Oh I forgot to mention we went to Disneyland today! It was very pretty! But the highlight was the fireworks! That was spectacular! If you did think singapore’s fireworks were nice then all I can say is that you are blind! I can tell you Singapore fireworks sucks! Even the national day parade one is not even 1% as good as Disneyland’s! you just go wow and wow and wow at disneyland! It was the best fireworks display I saw and most probably will remain the best!
As for the rides, they were mostly kiddies lah or maybe coz I survived hollywood’s already. The queue time was so so long! There was one that we queued for almost 1 and a half hrs! I am so fed up! But the fireworks and “snow” compensated for everything!
And there were so many babies there! On the way out there was human traffic jam and then the prams keep ramming into us! Why in the first place did u have to bring babies there? Are you that stupid to think that a 2 or 3 years old child can remember anything from that trip?! It is so dumb ok! Kids dun remember anything! I have a fantastic memory but all I can recall is less than 1% of what I felt and what I saw before I turned 10! Whats the point of wasting time, energy and money? I wun be as stupid as these parents to bring my kids there until they pass 15 years of age. Only then whatever they see will forever remain etched in their memory! Those parents are so stupid! So stupid! I so wanted to yell that in their face! My dad was saying every parent hopes that their child would be smarter than that. But instead of saying that kids are dumb I rather say that the parents are dreaming! Fat hope!
I miss the food at home! The nasi lemak, carrot cake, laksa, chicken rice, mee siam….the food here is so salty and so yucky! I was telling my bro I came here so slim and when I go back I will be so fat! No wonder America has so many diabetes, obese, high blood pressure patients! I wun be the least bit surprised!

We went to visit University of Southern California and Caltech yesterday and UC San Diego today. Caltech is supposedly #2 in science and engineering. I also realized that it is the #1 stinky school! The place smelt like sewage! Gross! The people were so nerdy and aloof. Anyway it is impossible for me to get in so it doesn’t matter. I felt that UCSD is better than USC. UCSD was surprisingly impressive! They’re medical and science is well known but as for the other areas they are not top top.

Current location: Williams. We went to the fish hatchery this morning!! Sad to say we didn’t manage to see any fish jump up coz it wasn’t the season yet. Sob.
When we went down the mountain there was a very steep slope. And then the car skidded. The brakes didn’t work. My dad had to switch to hand gear. I was fast asleep and without my seat belt on. Oops.
We wanted to go to the geysers but we couldn’t go up. So we learnt about it from the exhibition at the visitors’ center. Geothermal energy, clean and green. the business there is very profitable! So I asked my dad how come you buy so many houses in Singapore then never buy a piece of land there? Every year the land owners are paid USD$20 million!!!!
Will definitely definitely reach san Francisco tmr!

McDonalds for breakfast and lunch, burger king for dinner, im very close to vowing to abstain from fast food for the rest of my life!
We saw the sea lions today!! And at pier 39 there were so many Singaporeans! We knew they were Singaporeans coz of all the singlish they were using. Oh and I saw this girl wearing Crescent’s class of 2005 graduating sweater! But she looked a bit small to be 16.
Stanford university is so so impressive! Its like a town itself! Its massive, bigger than you can ever imagine! And my mum kept repeating this sentence: one look and you can tell that Stanford is one class higher. Oh well, I dun think I can get in anyway. My parents were saying if both my sis and I get in then they’ll move over to live there. My bro, who will be in ns, will be left all alone at home! Hah!
We went to the visitor center at Stanford university which was mended by students. And the guy we were talking to keep asking me so many questions. He asked so where you all from? And I replied Singapore. Then he was asking if I am a prospective student. When I said yes he said cool! Then he went on to ask how old I am, what grade am I in, blah blah blah. Are all Caucasians that chatty?
We also visited the golden gate bridge again. And the golden gate bridge park. On the way I saw this couple, and guess what? The man was carrying the woman’s bag. Willingly. I was like whoa! Why is it hardly any Singaporeans do that? Even at maidenform (the bra store), so many men were there. What were they doing there? They were paying for everything the women bought! My dad was saying siao! I go there for what? All women’s things! Haiz…see why my bro is like that? If I really study here I think I’ll most likely be so attracted by the chivalry of the Caucasians that I will end up marrying one of them.
We went to UC Berkley yesterday, much less serious than Stanford, much more casual than Stanford. It was smaller and the floor was so much dirtier! but they had more asian food there.

This stupid internet cant even access yahoo! Im so pissed. And disappointed. I just took 2 shots with one layer on. And I look as if I really did lose weight! I sure hope I did. The fast food I consumed contained thousands of calories im so afraid to eat it. And my bro said this: actually Xiao Qi looks quite nice in collar leh! Gosh! He said that?!? Even in my gown he refused to admit that I look beautiful!
Its warmer now, but in the morning it was cold! I was shivering. Eew, their soya sauce here is not as nice as that in Singapore! We saw red woods again. The whole day!

We went shopping again!! I bought a liz claiborne wallet, liz claiborne handbag, 3 maidenform bras, 1 maidenform strapless bra and 1 pair of reebok shoes!! The wallet and handbag isn’t that cheap but its branded, so we pay extra for the brand. I am so so satisfied with shopping today!! The shoe colour wasn’t that nice but my dad say it’s a very good pair of running shoes coz it cushions your knees. Oh well, anyway I didn’t like any of the colours, and I needed extra comfort for my super week knees. Although maidenform bras are ex they are so so comfortable. Its like you just try one to fit your size and you’ll definitely fit the rest. In Singapore not all bras of your size will fit you.
US is a much better place to live in! I cant help but praise the Americans! Its like when u step into the supermarket in the morning everyone will greet you good morning, hello, how’s your day? Even if you were in your worst mood, you will step out of the supermarket feeling so much better! Whenever u step into ntuc, everybody give you black face already. You say good morning they’ll prob say siao! And the men here hold open the doors for ladies, unlike my ill-mannered bro. Cars give way to each other too, unlike Singapore where they all squeeze you out. And cars give way to pedestrians! Always! My mum was saying that she saw this car who almost didn’t stop in time to give way to the pedestrian and then the driver apologized to the pedestrian. And my mum said the driver was quite cute! Then I jokingly asked her you didn’t ask him for his number for me ah?
I would love to live here! But the cost of living is much higher compared to Singapore. And Singapore is much safer too. But over here, the people are so much friendlier! And here is so much prettier! But still not as beautiful as Canada…
My dad keeps complaining that whenever we go to the factory outlet, we are so alive and during non-shopping hours, we are half dead.
Our hotel here has a fireplace! Its so cool! (er I mean temperature hot)

We are staying at gold beach resort. Its really beautiful. Its just by the sea. We went there earlier this afternoon, took many photos too.
This resort has an indoor pool and spa. I just came back from there. The rest are not back yet.
It has been sunny all day, except for a bit of fog this morning. We will be entering Brooklyn and crescent city tmr. Most of today was spent on traveling and sightseeing at the coast. Amazing scenery out there!! My family said they saw hundreds of seals on the way but I refused to get out of the car coz my legs were freezing.
Im so crazy and addicted to animal planet here! The shows are so interesting! Last night I watched one on giraffe and the other one on hyenas. They showed us the lion cubs which were really cute! Today I watched the one on sea monsters and how the students tried to make the horns similar to the rams’!

Hello California! Im finally here!! But its still cold. Current location is eureka! I didn’t know there was such a town name.
Today we saw this humongous lagoon! And the pacific ocean was massive! So massive! We saw the horizon too! Its curved, not straight.
We also went to the red wood national park. You could smell red wood there. The trees were so big and tall! Took many photos again!
The breakfast at gold coast resort was the best so far! I ate a boiled egg but they didn’t have soya sauce. I ate 2 slices of bread and some fruit loops which my dad calls coloured rings. For lunch we ate jack in a box! The burger was so so large! I ate so full until I almost burst! We upsized the drink to large and they gave us a 1 litre cup!
There seems to be free wireless internet everywhere in this town. But the speed is rather slow. And no one is online, wonder where all of you have gone to!

The flight to US was tough, esp the one to Tokyo. It was full of turbulences, I nearly threw up. And my sickening bro keep making the vomiting sounds. Both landings were jerky. When we landed at Tokyo, I was asking my parents can we fly to US tmr? I had enough of flying for a day already! I didn’t manage to sleep much coz it was so uncomfortable. I watched the perfect man and Charlie and the chocolate factory onboard! Adam in the perfect man was so sweet lor! They served us dinner at 3+pm Singapore time. I didn’t eat and wanted to keep it. Then the air stewardess keep trying to keep our meals. We said no for so many times. Then I think they got fed up and left us alone. I timed it exactly that I would finish my dinner 4hrs before landing time. So that everything will end up in my small intestine already before we land. Nothing left in my stomach so I wouldn’t throw up. And then 1hr before landing, they served us breakfast! I was like whats with them? Why do they keep feeding us? I didn’t eat it.
The clearance into US took so long! And the officer was so stupid he mistook me for my sis! Scanned her passport with my finger prints and photos! Wah lao! Then we ended up got to wait so long for them to clear it. I dun even look the least bit like my sis lor! Even a blind man could tell!
Then on the way to the lounge and coming out of the plane, the men were like squeezing us! Excuse me? I was carrying so many things almost about to topple already and you still try to squeeze??! Dun give way still ok, but squeezing? Whats wrong with u men huh? What happened to chivalry? And your basic manners and courtesy? So when I walked passed a group of men I purposely said it out loud, hopping they would hear and do some soul searching. And then before I stepped onto the escalator, still complaining, the 2 ang moh men gave way to me. I was like you had better! I nearly vowed to reamin single for the rest of my life!
We landed on a gloomy rainy seattle. We visited the university of Washington, public market and blah blah. Campus was okay la, wasn’t anything great except, they had squirrels!! And I used my hamster language and the squirrels came to me. So close, just beside my shoes. They were so cute lor! Then the seagulls were so fat I thought they were ducks!
Me: ducks! Ducks!
My mum: it’s a seagull la
Me: seagull where got so fat one?
My mum: winter mah
And I saw this pair of golden heels that were so nice! Good enough for ballroom dancing. Less than S$30 leh! But the heels ultra high one, cant even walk ah! So I didn’t buy…
Im not going to upload the photos. Coz it was so cold I wore four layers and still shivering. So I looked so fat. Nah, im not gg to upload sub-standard photos.
Im heading to Vancouver tmr! Freezing cold! Is it still snowing?
Yw: give me updates on wats happening to my date with a vampire 3 hor! I watched last sun’s one already.
Does anyone watch drunken kung fu? Zui wu di? Tell me what happened ah!
US: 30 Nov 6:00am
S’pore: u + 16hrs yourself hor!
My sis kept entangling the blanket. I had to wake up so many times to untangle it!
US things are so ex lor! Everything is at least 3 times of S’pore. Even a hamburger costs more than $10! Coz the tax so high. Original price also high.
US: 30 Nov 8:42pm
S’pore time: u + 16hrs yourself hor!
Canada is beautiful!! So so beautiful!! You know the scenery on Christmas post cards are always so splendid? And you always think that they are photo edited? Actually in reality, its even more beautiful than that!!
Seattle was snowing lightly in the morning. It was more of ice rather. Then again is ice=snow? We saw snow all over Canada! And we played in the snow!! Took lots and lots of lovely photos! We went shopping at fred meyer. It was so much bigger than s’pore’s ntuc that I didn’t even manage to see the whole supermarket!
Everyone is sleeping now except for me. My bro is sleeping with the lollipop still inside his mouth! I took a pic of it! Haha. Will upload that. Then all of you can have a good laugh. How abt if u all promise you’ll just look at the scenery and not see how fat I am then I’ll upload the photos?
Oh ya I bought a beanie (winter hat) today! My mum only allowed me to buy and not the rest coz they already have a hood. Somehow im the only one without a hood on my down. Anyway my sis and bro insisted that they wanted. And my dad allowed. The beanie is really really warm! It keeps my whole head warm! Just that the side keeps pressing on my specs. That was uncomfortable. When we were at the mountains my mum borrowed my bro’s. and she said it was warm. Then I said I told you so! And my dad wanted one too! Haha.
Wonder how are the dogs and fishes and kiki surviving at home. Sigh. I miss them. The room’s getting so hot I think im starting to perspire. My dad set the heater to max!
We are currently still at Vancouver. It was so cold that I wore 5 layers on top and 2 at the bottom. I wore long john, sweater, down vest, wind breaker cum sweater and another down outside. And I was still cold. But only slightly.
We are staying at Canada for another day. Have to reach Los Angeles by the 10th day. Coz my mum is taking a flight to st louis for business trip. While she’s away we will be going to Disney land! Im not that excited considering the fact that I get motion sickness easily whether it is on land, air or water.
My bro is becoming more helpful. He was pushing me from behind and pulling me when I was too tired to complete the walk on the mountain. But then he still allows the door to slam right into your face!
Oh and I forgot to mention that the US is so efficient! You know the shoe shops over here? Uh huh? They display shoes in racks according to sizes! And so you just have to walk down the rows and pick out your shoes! That is so cool compared to Singapore where you still have to find your size. And then sometimes they tell you sorry we dun have your size. Then you’ll be so disappointed.
And the pace here is so much slower and less stressful. You can do so many things and yet time doesn’t pass that quickly! I wonder if there’s something wrong with singapore’s clock! Its like 30min here is equal to 10 min in Singapore!
US time: 10:00 pm Dec 1
Whistler was so so awesome! Its like a dream come true! And there was so much snow! For once I saw snow that was so soft it was like candy floss! And we played a lot in the snow. The scenery was so beautiful. My parents were like saying it’s the highlight of our trip. And it’s a bonus coz we never planned to go up there.
But it was freezing cold. At least –15 degrees up there! That’s my record! I was only wearing 5 layers. Couldn’t have worn anything more. And in the car I was wearing 2 layers while everybody stripped to one. They were still hot but I was still cold. Then my bro keep turning back to ask me if im hot or cold. He said he was hot and wants to turn off the heater. I said I was cold and gave him the too-bad-look.
At the restaurant up in the mountains I saw this really cute guy leh! If I were in my gown with my make up on I bet he’ll ask for my number! But I was wrapped up like an Eskimo…
My mum was like saying you a little bit cold already make so much noise then still want to study in Michigan? Anyway I would only consider Michigan with a O level cert. But after I take my A levels, I wont settle for anything less than top 10 universities in the US.
We are now back at US so bye bye Canada! Oh did I mentioned it was snowing just now at the border? Im going back to Canada someday. Muacks! Love you Canada!

We just came out from taco bell. I ate a cinnamon and apple pie. My bro wanted to try some first before he ordered one but I refused to let him bite from mine. Then my dad was telling my bro she so choosy, if she say nice then should be ok. That’s quite true!
We bypassed Seattle already and are heading to Portland now! Along the way it was like white Christmas. All the trees were white, covered in snow. It was so beautiful! But Whistler was much more prettier I thought.
Today is my mum’s US birthday! According to Singapore time it is over already. But since we are in the US, we shall celebrate according to US time.
My dad says LA is snowing also. Oh no! I wanted to go for a swim leh! My dad was saying this is so unexpected, unlike the past. Oh well, its unlike the past coz im here. Haha.
The hurricane is on the east coast. We are in the west so it should be rather safe. We went to walmart just now. It was so so big! I only combed the clothes and handbags section. The rest were more interested in the food section.

I bought one pair of pants and one shorts. Oh and one pair of gloves coz my old one wasn’t warm enough. And we are still heading to Grand Cannon.
We are now at Salem, Oregon. Passed Portland already. Just now in the car my sis tried to open the bottle of grape juice and then it exploded! Heng I was sitting behind. And my dad was complaining he just bathed and now there is grape juice on his butt! Wahaha!
Its been raining and raining non-stop! I hardly saw the sun! okie gotta go, the rest are queuing up to use the internet!

Nothing left in my stomach so I wouldn’t throw up. And then 1hr before landing, they served us breakfast! I was like whats with them? Why do they keep feeding us? I didn’t eat it.
The clearance into US took so long! And the officer was so stupid he mistook me for my sis! Scanned her passport with my finger prints and photos! Wah lao! Then we ended up got to wait so long for them to clear it. I dun even look the least bit like my sis lor! Even a blind man could tell!
Then on the way to the lounge and coming out of the plane, the men were like squeezing us! Excuse me? I was carrying so many things almost about to topple already and you still try to squeeze??! Dun give way still ok, but squeezing? Whats wrong with u men huh? What happened to chivalry? And your basic manners and courtesy? So when I walked passed a group of men I purposely said it out loud, hopping they would hear and do some soul searching. And then before I stepped onto the escalator, still complaining, the 2 ang moh men gave way to me. I was like you had better! I nearly vowed to reamin single for the rest of my life!
We landed on a gloomy rainy seattle. We visited the university of Washington, public market and blah blah. Campus was okay la, wasn’t anything great except, they had squirrels!! And I used my hamster language and the squirrels came to me. So close, just beside my shoes. They were so cute lor! Then the seagulls were so fat I thought they were ducks!
Me: ducks! Ducks!
My mum: it’s a seagull la
Me: seagull where got so fat one?
My mum: winter mah
And I saw this pair of golden heels that were so nice! Good enough for ballroom dancing. Less than S$30 leh! But the heels ultra high one, cant even walk ah! So I didn’t buy…
Im not going to upload the photos. Coz it was so cold I wore four layers and still shivering. So I looked so fat. Nah, im not gg to upload sub-standard photos.
Im heading to Vancouver tmr! Freezing cold! Is it still snowing?
Yw: give me updates on wats happening to my date with a vampire 3 hor! I watched last sun’s one already.
Does anyone watch drunken kung fu? Zui wu di? Tell me what happened ah!
US: 30 Nov 6:00am
S’pore: u + 16hrs yourself hor!
My sis kept entangling the blanket. I had to wake up so many times to untangle it!
US things are so ex lor! Everything is at least 3 times of S’pore. Even a hamburger costs more than $10! Coz the tax so high. Original price also high.
US: 30 Nov 8:42pm
S’pore time: u + 16hrs yourself hor!
Canada is beautiful!! So so beautiful!! You know the scenery on Christmas post cards are always so splendid? And you always think that they are photo edited? Actually in reality, its even more beautiful than that!!
Seattle was snowing lightly in the morning. It was more of ice rather. Then again is ice=snow? We saw snow all over Canada! And we played in the snow!! Took lots and lots of lovely photos! We went shopping at fred meyer. It was so much bigger than s’pore’s ntuc that I didn’t even manage to see the whole supermarket!
Everyone is sleeping now except for me. My bro is sleeping with the lollipop still inside his mouth! I took a pic of it! Haha. Will upload that. Then all of you can have a good laugh. How abt if u all promise you’ll just look at the scenery and not see how fat I am then I’ll upload the photos?
Oh ya I bought a beanie (winter hat) today! My mum only allowed me to buy and not the rest coz they already have a hood. Somehow im the only one without a hood on my down. Anyway my sis and bro insisted that they wanted. And my dad allowed. The beanie is really really warm! It keeps my whole head warm! Just that the side keeps pressing on my specs. That was uncomfortable. When we were at the mountains my mum borrowed my bro’s. and she said it was warm. Then I said I told you so! And my dad wanted one too! Haha.
Wonder how are the dogs and fishes and kiki surviving at home. Sigh. I miss them. The room’s getting so hot I think im starting to perspire. My dad set the heater to max!
We are currently still at Vancouver. It was so cold that I wore 5 layers on top and 2 at the bottom. I wore long john, sweater, down vest, wind breaker cum sweater and another down outside. And I was still cold. But only slightly.
We are staying at Canada for another day. Have to reach Los Angeles by the 10th day. Coz my mum is taking a flight to st louis for business trip. While she’s away we will be going to Disney land! Im not that excited considering the fact that I get motion sickness easily whether it is on land, air or water.
My bro is becoming more helpful. He was pushing me from behind and pulling me when I was too tired to complete the walk on the mountain. But then he still allows the door to slam right into your face!
Oh and I forgot to mention that the US is so efficient! You know the shoe shops over here? Uh huh? They display shoes in racks according to sizes! And so you just have to walk down the rows and pick out your shoes! That is so cool compared to Singapore where you still have to find your size. And then sometimes they tell you sorry we dun have your size. Then you’ll be so disappointed.
And the pace here is so much slower and less stressful. You can do so many things and yet time doesn’t pass that quickly! I wonder if there’s something wrong with singapore’s clock! Its like 30min here is equal to 10 min in Singapore!
US time: 10:00 pm Dec 1
Whistler was so so awesome! Its like a dream come true! And there was so much snow! For once I saw snow that was so soft it was like candy floss! And we played a lot in the snow. The scenery was so beautiful. My parents were like saying it’s the highlight of our trip. And it’s a bonus coz we never planned to go up there.
But it was freezing cold. At least –15 degrees up there! That’s my record! I was only wearing 5 layers. Couldn’t have worn anything more. And in the car I was wearing 2 layers while everybody stripped to one. They were still hot but I was still cold. Then my bro keep turning back to ask me if im hot or cold. He said he was hot and wants to turn off the heater. I said I was cold and gave him the too-bad-look.
At the restaurant up in the mountains I saw this really cute guy leh! If I were in my gown with my make up on I bet he’ll ask for my number! But I was wrapped up like an Eskimo…
My mum was like saying you a little bit cold already make so much noise then still want to study in Michigan? Anyway I would only consider Michigan with a O level cert. But after I take my A levels, I wont settle for anything less than top 10 universities in the US.
We are now back at US so bye bye Canada! Oh did I mentioned it was snowing just now at the border? Im going back to Canada someday. Muacks! Love you Canada!

We just came out from taco bell. I ate a cinnamon and apple pie. My bro wanted to try some first before he ordered one but I refused to let him bite from mine. Then my dad was telling my bro she so choosy, if she say nice then should be ok. That’s quite true!
We bypassed Seattle already and are heading to Portland now! Along the way it was like white Christmas. All the trees were white, covered in snow. It was so beautiful! But Whistler was much more prettier I thought.
Today is my mum’s US birthday! According to Singapore time it is over already. But since we are in the US, we shall celebrate according to US time.
My dad says LA is snowing also. Oh no! I wanted to go for a swim leh! My dad was saying this is so unexpected, unlike the past. Oh well, its unlike the past coz im here. Haha.
The hurricane is on the east coast. We are in the west so it should be rather safe. We went to walmart just now. It was so so big! I only combed the clothes and handbags section. The rest were more interested in the food section.
US time: 2 Dec 9:18pm
S’pore time: 3 Dec 1:18pm
The hotel has free wireless internet access! I was cheering in the car you know! We just came back from shopping at the factory outlet. It was suppose to be quite cheap but it wasn’t! I bought one pair of pants and one shorts. Oh and one pair of gloves coz my old one wasn’t warm enough. And we are still heading to Grand Cannon.
We are now at Salem, Oregon. Passed Portland already. Just now in the car my sis tried to open the bottle of grape juice and then it exploded! Heng I was sitting behind. And my dad was complaining he just bathed and now there is grape juice on his butt! Wahaha!
Its been raining and raining non-stop! I hardly saw the sun! okie gotta go, the rest are queuing up to use the internet!
