i'm in TAIWAN now!! a place i always wanted to go!! i'm in the hotel right now. of cos i'm in the hotel. where else would i have, right? lols!

it feels all different when i'm back in santa cruz. everything feels so slack. i guess it's jus that some things will never be the same. we went out for lunch with kevin, kristina and julie. oh man. i really love them. kristina actually asked for our address in singapore. cos she want to send us things. how sweet right. aww..

we stayed in the hotel for the first night in santa cruz. den we went over to aunty mary's place for 2 nights. we helped out for nate's birthday party. and ya. we helped out in clearing all the food. lols! the party is quite ok. food were really really good. the ribs and corn. omg! i'm gotta miss it so so much.

we head down to san fransico on 25sept. i did some shopping. i bought all the stuff my mummy need at old navy. den i bought some lotions at bath and body works. and i bought one shorts at american eagle. actually i saw 2 shorts i really really like. but due to tight budget i only got one. =(

we head off to the airport on 26 night. we had a midnight flight. and we reach taiwan on 28sept, 4:30am. so sucky lah. arrive at this timing. i actually arrange transport but didnt manage to confirm it. i'm so scare that i've got no transport to go to my hotel. den i was stopped by a guy at the airport and they agreed to send us to our hotel at the price that i previously willing to pay.

so i reached my hotel around like 5plus am? the guy at the counter is so surprise to see me lah. lucky they got enough room for us to check in. but we had to pay 1/2 day room rate. if not we have to wait till 2pm to check in. the room is pretty ok. and their internet is pretty fast. hahs! but there's no wireless. i had to use cable. >P

the first day we went xi meng ding. we shop around that area. saw alot of pretty shoes. den we went their ktv. so cool lah. but its rather expensive. i think we went at the wrong time. we reached back hotel pretty early. i think i dun have any jet lag. i slept from 12plus all the way til morning. hahs! and i bought ALOT of magazines!!

today we hot spring bath at bei tou. its the indoor one. cos we didnt bring any swimming costume. its so cool lah. was quite amazed by it. after that we went dan shui. but didn got the chance to go to the fisherman's wharf. we went dan shui old streets. was rather upset cos i didnt manage to find the long ice cream that i always see on tv. =( we bought bubble tea and chicken tenders. so nice lah. omg. den we walked around. i saw watsons. went it and got the balm my sis wanted. den i went to this gift store. they sell pretty schedule book. omg! i cant resist and bought quite a few. hahs! tentatively one for me and one for my sis. maybe i'll sell the rest online. its really really pretty. and cheap. imagine i got one for less than 4sing dollars. its IMPOSSIBLE to find a pretty one in singapore for less than 4 bucks.

after dan shui, we took the mrt to shilin night market. they should have some maps for the shilin market. cos we kept walking round and round. hahs! i bought a pair for shoe. pretty pretty. i bought it for 390ntd. definitely cheaper than singapore i guess.

tml will be more shopping! i cant wait to go home!

ok. it has been quite some time since i last blog. basically is bcos i'm tired, there's no internet, i felt sick etc. anyway, right now i'm back in santa cruz!

we left orlando and head to las vegas. well, i fell sick when i reached las vegas. i felt all bad and feverish. i felt all bad physically and mentally. i wanted to tell someone how i felt. but words couldnt describe. the feeling is like, i'm all alone fighting; i might just collapse and never stand up. hahs! i join them for they day activities. but i stayed in hotel during the night when they went out.

first day we had a long walk on the vegas strip. the heat is really making me all crazy. den we bought this super ex lemonade which sux to the core. omg. i swear i'll never drink lemonade again. cos it makes me felt even worst.

second day we went factory outlet. its really heavan at vegas' factory outlet. its so dirt cheap. lols. i spend quite alot that day. actually. i only buy coach and a nike shorts. hahs. its the coach that makes me seem that i bought alot.

third and the last day, we went grand canyon. had to wake up super early to catch the tour bus. the scene at grand canyon is nice. but. wasnt as spectacular as i thought.

den we head to LA. in LA, i pop panadol and went out to the sun to tan. and i felt all better. cos LA's weather is cooling.

we didnt go disneyland. cos we felt it will be all the same things as disneyworld. so we went universal studios. there isnt many rides there. how disappointing. >P and their tickets is super ex lah. after universal studios, we went hollywood strip. to see the stars and hand prints. we also went up the hill to find the hollywood sign. hahs! den we went 2 factory outlet. but there isnt that much things to buy though. i stil love to shop in las vegas. we didnt manage to go all the shops in vegas cos we are all tired.

anyway, we went to the live filming of singing bee. so you guys MIGHT see me on a US reality show. as audience. hahs! we got a CD by barry dunno who. its a unique experience.

i cant wait to go home! see all my family and friends! i'll be home real soon!! i'm leaving santa cruz 25sept. i'll be heading down to san francsico. i'll leave san frans on 27sept and i'll reach taiwan 28sept. i'll be in taiwan for 5 days. and i'll be back in singapore on 2nd OCT!

i'm tired and i'm going to bed real soon...

I TOOK THE FRONT SEAT NOT BECAUSE I'M AN EXPERIENCE NAVIGATOR. IS BECAUSE I WANT TO ACCOMPANY MY FRIEND WHO WILL BE DRIVING FOR HOURS.

i hate to hear things from third party. if there's anything you want to say, say right in front of me. what a fuck up parents. i don't mean to be rude. BUT. they are really pissing me off. lucky they will only stay for one more days. if not i'll go bonkers.

your child had an "experience" navigator. so when my friend drive, you let your husband sit with her. so i suppose YOUR husband is an experience navigator? then why did i see him sleeping THROUGHOUT the whole journey when my friend is driving? what a selfish woman. argh!

today we went miami. its was a long journey. we had some stopovers. i had bk chicken fries for lunch. den they drove all the way down miami. what i thought is so different from what i see. i actually saw high rise buildings. hahs! i really thought miami is jus a beach.

we went hard rock cafe first cos some of them are hard rock cafe fans. den we went to the shopping mall. walked around. we saw an ice cream store. we went in and we each got a cup of ice cream. i had rum and double dark chocolate.

after shopping mall, we went to the miami beach. well. was rather disappointed. their beach is nothing like santa cruz. their sand is hard and coarse. their water so-so only. is really warm. and there's wasnt tide. not like doggy beach. hais. jus one word. disappointing.

den we went miami ink. its well known for tatoo. they wasnt open until 9pm cos they are having filming. so we had dinner across the streets. we had pizza. their slice is really huge and i almost couldnt finish it. after dinner, we jus chilled out outside the pizza store until it was time.

we took some pictures with some famous people which i didnt know. or should i say, i never hear before. but stil, i took some pictures with those famous people. hahs! will post up the pics once i got them in my hands. hahs!

oh no. i'm so tired. i didnt slp during the 3 1/2 hrs drive. i only doze off like 10mins. and michelle's swirl woke me up. lols! anyway, tml we are going back disney world. mgm studios. hopefully we can walk on our own. hais. *wish*

wanted to blog after my laundry ytd. but i only manage to collect the laundry at 2:30am. and when i got back, i'm having problems with the connection. so i didnt manage to blog.

we went magical kingdom ytd. its so fun lah! to see all the characters. we went for some rides and shows. the wait isn't as long as i thought. maybe bcos its not the peak season. its starts to rain on and off. its been 3months plus since i last saw the rain. lols! we watch the fireworks at 9pm before we head back to our hotel.

ytd was abit screwed up. am rather pissed off. but was with a rather big group. so i didnt say much. >P

today we went epcot. its another world in disneyworld. 2 rides we wanted to go is closed. so upset lah! others are quite exciting though. there is this ride call fast track. and its is cool! its jus like speeding. hahs!

today's sun is scorching hot! omg. i cant imagine when i'm in las vegas. -_-''' tml we are going miami. and we are driving down! cos i think the tour is fully booked. not too sure what we are going to do though. its famous for beach and i think tatoo.

i felt that i didnt have enough sleep. lols. everyday sleep so late. wake up so early. den rush here and there. i think its even more tiring than working. lols!

off to bed!

i didn't get the chance to blog till now. hmm.. where should i start now. ok. i'm in orlando, florida right now! hahs! tml we are gg to DISNEY WORLD. hahs! so looking forward!! anyway. after my first meal on 7 sept, i thought i could hang ard in the lounge bar of the hostel. den i saw su min came running to me. they actually came back to look for me. cos they are going chinatown. and want me to join them. actually i didn want to. but they had already came all the way down. so end up i went out with them. we had chinese food in chinatown for dinner. i was full. so i didnt eat much. after chinatown, we went to empire state. we went up to 86 storey high to see the view. omg. the view is really amazing. cos we went at night. its so nice lah. plus the wind. aww.. if someone ever propose to me there, i might jus agree! hahs! its so incredible. =D the next day, we suppose to go central park. but we didnt manage to go. we were watching another musical show, RENT at 2pm. we bought the 55usd tickets. the show is pretty good. when there is an interval, we shift down cos there wasn't any ppl ard. for the next half of the show, we manage to get a better view. =) after the show, we came out and there is this autograph stand. so michelle and zi xue were standing for RENT and su min and i were standing for MARY POPPIN. end up we manage to take a photo with mary poppin. omg! she's so pretty!! hahs! i nv thought that i could take pictures with such people! we had dinner at TGIF. aw. bad choice. the food were so-so. service wasn't as good. serving wasnt as big. so disappointed. and its expensive! =X after dinner, we walked to old navy, near empire state. i bought 2 pair of shoes for 10usd each. i wanted to get online and it cost 12. lucky the order didnt go through. hahs! den we head back to hostel. and did our last minute packing. cos we had to catch the flight at 8am to orlando. so we woke up at 3plus 4 to wash up. and our shuttle came to pick us up. we were taking jetblue to orlando. well. jetblue is pretty good. the service and food variety. its jus that the seats sux. my neck hurts when i woke up from my nap.

we are staying at quality suites, near disney world. but we need to take a shuttle though. this hotel is the cheapest and best among all the hotels we stayed/ going to stay. its 13usd per person per night. we are staying in a family suite. we got 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, microwave, fridge. so much better than what i had in santa cruz. hahs!

we reach here in the noon. but we couldnt check in till 4pm. so we went to their old town to walk around. its only a block away from our hotel. we had lunch at a&w. den we went to take free rides at old town. they had this hurricane look-alike. but in a smaller version. we took this. and i missed hurricane so much. =( den we took this scrambler. its something like wipe-out. but the seats' effect are like tsumani. den we also took something like double shot. but its only one shot. it sends u all the way up and drop you down once. well. its pretty scary though.

we head back to our room and took a rest. den we went down to the swimming pool. cos they had free drinks from 5pm to 7pm. hahs. we chilled out by the pool for awhile and head for dinner. we had dinner at Logan's. the food are so much nicer than TGIF. >P and cheaper too! we had an appetizer combo and a 16.99 set dinner. den we went wal-mart to hang around.

overall. as compare, new york life is so tense up. even when we were jus on only holiday, we had to rush around. its too stressful. the people, the cars. omg. orlando is stil quite ok. cos i didnt get to see cars running around like mad. so fast i'm in orlando. 4 days later, i'm going to Las Vegas. fast. fast. fast.

i'm in NEW YORK right now! ytd we reached new york ard 5:30am. den we took the shuttle to our hotel. or should i say hostel. anyway. the place we staying at is called Broadway Hotel. its at the west side of mahanttan. so cool right. cant believe i'm actually at manhattan. lols. anyway. we had breakfast at this broadway bagel. its cost 5 usd but servng is quite big. mine is 2 scrambled egg with ham, fries, toast and coffee. i couldn't finish it though.

we are suppose to check in at 3pm. but they allow us to check in at 10plus. its 4 bulk beds. su min is sleeping above me. after washing up, we head off to our sight-seeing. our hotel location is actually upper town. its 102 st. down town, which is times square is 42 st. so we took their subway down. its so packed but we reach rather fast.

when we got out of subway, we were stopped by some grayline tickets person. end up er bought the hop on bus tickets for 46usd. i think its rather worth it. cos we can hop on and off as we want and it brings us to all the places we wanted to see. and its a 3 day pass. so we took a bus around times square.

after the bus trip, we went to buy tickets for a musical show call Mary Poppin. its like since we are at Broadway, we should catch some musical shows. hahs! we went back to our hotel to rest and wash up. den we went for dinner. and head for the musical show. i'm so amazed but the whole show. its really nice! and i only spend 25usd for the tickets!

day 1 in new york is pretty good. but not day 2. hahs! i had my periods which is like so SUX though i expect it to come. and we had rats in our room! its like so OMG. its really an experience. argh. i miss santa cruz after the rats attack. hahs! and home. due to periods, i decided not to go out and stay at hotel. i'm scare to see the rats though. i woke up ard 8plus. den they washed up and head off ard 10. so i went back to slp ard 1030. and i slept all the way through til 430. hahs! and i went to bath. and now i'm going to get my first meal of the day. lols!

i wanted to go. i wanted to go to the drive-in movie. i wanted to go to all the shopping trips. but i'm never invited. i'm never asked if i would like to join. you never know how much it hurts to hear things from the third party. sighed.

ytd was avgustina and vitalia's farewell party. i drank 3 cans of beer and my head is spinning. i ALMOST did stupid things. but i'm mentally sob enough to control whatever i'm doing. i'm so sob that i see things so clearly. wasn't sure if its a good or bad thing.

today is the last free friday concert night. my whole day at work is pretty good. i was opening haunted castle with C and E. E was late and she pissed me off. XP a girl, C was getting train there. so before she got trained, i'm at haunted castle with them. after i came back from my 15, i was asked to go to giant dipper. b'cos haunted castle got 4 of us.

i was at dipper for like one hour. and its fun! we were slacking and chatting even if there are guest. hahs! i know we should't had done that... but... ... hahs!

den ard 4 i was send back to check-in and was told to give double shot an hour break. so i was at double shot for an hour, and got my hour break. then they put me at hurricane.

i was with tanya. and she got rotated away and tony came. for the very first time, i get to be at hurricane on friday nights! that means hurricane is closed for ard 2 hrs b'cos of the concert! and i got more time to do nothing and less time to do something! hahs!

ard 8:05, someone called and asked me to give breaks. so i gave 2 15's to glider 1 and 2. i went to glider 1 first b'cos i nv been at glider 2 on friday night. hahs! su min was at glider 1 and vit was at glider 2. when i'm almost done with my break, i saw aunty mary and nate. actually, i saw them when i was walking to give glider 2 break. i saw uncle len aso! =) its so nice to see them.

after giving breaks, i took my own break. when i'm done, they were looking at the list to see where to put me. hahs! they wanted to put me at jetcopters. and i was like you got a whole list of rides and you put me at jetcopters?! den they gave me a choice of haunted castle or merry-go-round. of cos i chose haunted castle. hahs! which dumb ass will choose jetcopters or merry-go-round. lols! so i closed haunted castle as well. hahs!

so there goes my day:
haunted castle --> giant dipper --> double shot --> hurricane --> glider 1 --> glider 2 --> haunted castle.

lyrics of the current song

Title: Beauty and The Beast

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Than somebody bends
Unexpectedly

Just a little change
Small, to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will arise

Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong

Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast.

Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast.
