US time: 3 Dec 5:52pm S’pore time: 4 Dec 9:52am
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)
US time: 9:29pm S’pore time: 1:29pm
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’!
US time: 5 Dec 6:35pm S’pore time: 6 Dec 10:35am
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!
