Our Trip



wa, just realized that i do have some supporters for my blog. Not bad. feel loved. Thanks all for ur comments :)

Well, the reason i stopped writing is because i have so much to share that i don't know where to begin... but anyway, i'll try to list out all the fun stuff we did.

My parents and i went on a 7 days tour to Yosemite, Los Angeles, Las Vegas & Grand Canyon. It was an awesome trip, but was really tiring. I really enjoyed the theme parks (Disneyland, california adventure and universal studio). I love the rides and have never screamed as much as i did in those parks. Gosh... my throat hurts for the next few days. Well, out of the three parks, i think i enjoyed universal studio the most. I got to see the site where they film War of the World, and it was so disappointing, coz it is just a tiny place with damaged houses *felt cheated* haha.. it is amazing how the computer effects made everything looked so real. I love their rides and performances too. It just a A* place. Disneyland was alright coz i've been to the one in Japan, and it's pretty much the same. The special thing about Disneyland was that they were celebrating their 50th anniversary, and thus had awesome fireworks. By the way, i took a pic with Mickey! :) I went to his house and yup, we became real good friends. hmm?

Other than the theme parks, i really enjoy the National parks too. Grand canyon was just breath-taking. *whoosh* so majestic, so indescribable. We took tons of pictures, and gosh... i became giddy after 20min. I guess part of that was due to the journey, for we took about 5hrs from Las vegas to Grand canyon. Oh, talking about Vegas... hmm... not my cup of tea. I didn't really like it there. As much as it was kinda beautiful at night, the entire atmosphere was different. People were drinking on the streets,smoking, giving out advertisements on "adult shows" and as we all know... people just sit around and gamble the whole night long. I got bored really quickly. There was nothing much for me to do. The only interesting thing for me to do was to visit the M&M and coke museum. Oh, and also taking pictures of the hotels. That's about it. It a place where i would not want to stay for more than 3 days. But of course, that's just my point of view.

So, all readers, i will strongly encourage u guys to go to LA!!! Orange county is fun. Love it. And again, tons of asian stores! hee.. good food. Bubble tea for a dollar! *large one* hahaa... and u might even get picked up by some great directors and become a famous hollywood star! wooo...sounds good ya? hee... ok folks, it's time to say goodbye. I will continue writing soon. Happy New Year! God Bless :)

Life in California



Hey hey hey....

i am in san jose right now... My aunty & uncle are the nicest ppl in the world!! I am having so much fun! They have a HUGE house, and i have my own bedroom with a queen size bed & desktop!! Man, i am just really enjoying life. With 2 sets of adults and me, ha! u can imagine how much i'm being pampered. But the down side is that er... when they walk hand in hand, then i'll be lost. haha.... *extra*

I think that i will definitely gain lots of weight here! oh my gosh. I have been eating non-stop. Whenever i mention something, my aunty & uncle will bring us there or bring the food back for me. I have been eating all my fav food! The first day i was here my parents cooked braised pork and stir-fry dou miao. yum. then we had dim sum for breakfast. Then my parents cooked minced pork noodles for dinner. :p We made kaya and tapioca cake too. I've learnt the secret of making kaya!!! haha... as for today, i had egg-tarts and claypot chicken rice. Oh my, too good.

San frans n san jose just amazes me too much! I see hundreds of chinese or asians in a single place. This is a rare sight for me, who has been in Oklahoma the entire time. :( The number of chinese stores here are just UNCOUNTABLE! so jealous! There is nothing u can't find here. yum.

ok, here is a pic of me in front of the egg-tart stall. hurray! and another one of my parents and my uncle & aunty at the Golden Gate Bridge :) will keep u ppl posted for further exciting news.

it's OVER!

Oh my goodness! This semester has just ended with my last exam today. *blink* and it's gone. I am happy! so happy to know that i am left with 2 sem! Hurray!
I was so stressed up a few days ago when i was not able to go and take my driving test. Was really sad and tired with the whole process of trying to get a license and to move off campus. But well, God is good. He changes everything overnight! *jumpjump* I've gotten my driver's license on TUESDAY! Did u hear that??? i PASSED.......... whee..... i'm an er... adult! haha... I felt like hugging my tester when she told me that i did good! ahhhh.....So now, i am beginning to shop for a car. This is not fun. hmm, but well i have a month to get me a car before school starts again and all craziness set in.

Talking about 1 month. I'm gonna fly to San Jose on friday and be there for the entire month.. well, almost. coz we'll be going to San francisco, LA and Vegas too. My parents are already there!! yippeee.... They are having a blast! man.. the huge malls, outlets and hyper marts like Wal-mart are blowing their mind. haha.. I can't wait to see them. Now a day seemed like forever!

I am packing right now. Painful process. My room is in such a mess right now... just told justin that if he sees the state of my room right now, er... he probably will not have a very good impression of me anymore! :p haha. I am packing coz i am gonna live off-campus next sem!! hurray! *jumpjump* I will be staying with this sweet nice grandma. The Dean has approved it today, and i just can't describe my excitement in all these! When we stepped out of the Dean's office, i turned and said in disbelief "oh, so that is it... i'm officially OFF-campus!" My guardian laughed and gave me a BIG hug, reassuring that i am NOT dreaming! haha... I feel so blessed.

Ok folks, gotta get back to packing! ah... will i be sleeping tonight? oh my. I can't even see my bed! grrr.... ok, love all of u. Take care and be blessed.
