Hi ppl...
today i witnessed Southern California's bigest rain in history. It started pouring since i ever woke up..and it rained till i dunnoe when..it was soo sooo big..that ppl were getting afraid of it..but if this rain was in singapore, it probably be labeled as a light shower. -.-
the panic probably started because of the california wildfires that occured 2 months ago..the trees were burnt, and officials were afraid of the possible occurance of a landslide due to heavy downpour which leads to soil erosion due to lack of trees..yaya..no nid explain further..hahas..
our plan was to stay home and eat lunch..but then..we wanted to eat at Souplantation..so..we went there..wah..the route there was baddd...the rain was so heavy..u cant see the car in front of u for about 40m...it was that bad..
thankgoodness nth happened..and we had our fufiling lunch. Had ard 6 bowls of beautifully refreshing soup..woots..it is realllly nice..and i l0ved it!
we then went home..to practically do nth..hahahs...me and my sis took turns to play the piano..and woots..gt a few more songs le..hahahahah..I CAN PLAY PIANO LER!! woots..i think when i get home..i dun tink i would have lost any of my audition-ing skills..lawl..hopefully still can play...hahahahs...
o.o
tml hopefully can go to Knott's Berry Farm..its a themepark..and there's a toy drive tml..so we give a toy..and we go in for free! yup..cool..but there's a smth preventing us from goin tml..its the bad weather..cos tml temperatures might drop to 3 degrees celcius in orange county..so its really cold..and roller coasters might not be suitable for such a temperature..hahas..here is the webbie for knott's berry farm
www.knotts.comhaha..juz found out smth FUNNY
Shu Hui just told me that alot of ppl say i nt coming back to singapore! >.<
wonder who started it..
but to be sure..let me say it one more time..
I WILL be back on the 18 dec..hahas..
seems like ppl ARE missing me..LOLS!
yaya..i noe what u ppl thinking..
i veri bhb..hahahahahs..
but maybe i am right! or isit ppl want me away har...tsk tsk..

hi ppl
today we went to disneyland again =D
we had breakfast at macdonalds first..I had a deluxe breakfast, which was 3 hotcakes and a bigbreakfast combined. It was finished with a orange juice. Perfect.
We then went on to Disneyland. It was a 45 min journey..Upon reaching, we ran off to Tomorrow land to take the nemo submarine voyage..awww...still, it was so crowded despite being so early liao..so no choice..have to queue for like ages...we finally got on this newly created ride..and we were all so excited..the submarine then sank down into the water, and when we were all ready for a fast,exciting ride, it stunned us all by moving like a tortoise. Without having to say anymore, you would probably guess what i would say..yup..the rest of the ride was almost like a torture..time wasted..its like..it seemed so interesting, but it ended up being a bore..they had nice effects, but it was just way too boring..
We then went on to autopia again..cos caleb and jolyn loved it..and me too, cuz i get to bump their cars..LAWL..we then went to Adventure land..
We took Indiana Jones Adventures..which was awesome! It involved taking a big jeep, and then going inside caves, and had steep drops, steep turns, and sudden stops..cool!
We then went to take the Jungle Cruise. It was a ride through the jungles, and it was pretty interesting..
WE then took the Pirates of the Carribean. It was a water ride, and it was quite fun.
We then went to take Splash Mountain. WOOO..ARRRR..IT WAS WET, and WILD. Its way better then yeo's wet and wild of escape theme park.. its like..it when up up up, then came slightly down, and went up up up, and then went down slightly..then it turn around..and when all the way down..down..down..and splash!..we are all wet...whee hee..best thing is i sat at the front, and came out shivering cold....brrrrr...hahahas...
We then went to take winnie the pooh ride. It was based on the story about the hundred acre wood getting flooded, and then pooh was dreaming..and it was a lazy ride..just like pooh bear..hahas..
We then went on to take..Big Thunder Mountain ride..before we could take the ride, it was closed for ten minutes..jokes were abound..such as a wheel falling off during a ride..and power failure..but the real reason was never made known. We then went on the ride..and it was great great great! it went up..down..sharp turns..and it was awesome...incredibly, our clothes were all dry! woohoo..and the disney ppl allowed us to go again despite the long queue..probably cuz we had a great fun..hahahahs..
We then went to take Peter Pan..which was like really flying..and i loved it..hahas..we then went to take the mr toad's wild ride..and it was not at all fantastic..but still nice..at least better then nemo..lols..
we then went to take the carousel..which was dizzy-ly boring..and so we went home..
We went to eat dinner..at California Pizza Kitchen..and We had California Club, Roasted Garlic Chicken, and Hawiianian. We also had a Mango Lemonade Freeze, and a strawberry smoothie..it was a nice nice sumptiously dinner..woots..and at 5pm, the skies were a dark..dark..piece of black cloth..hahahas..
Tml am going to watch movies!..hahahas...and saturday going to KnottsBerry Farm, which is a themepark of mostly rollercoaster..woots..hopefully it be fun fun fun!

We had cinamon meltz..which tasted exceptinally good. We also had 2 cups of hot chocolate, which was a heavenly temptation in the cold chilly weather. We also had a Millenium apple, which was a green apple coated with dark chocolate and white ribbons..it was marvelous! I LOVED IT!
We then went to buy some stuffs, such as things from Disney shop and we spent sometime in there..We then went to JC Penny, which is something like singapore's Metro..To my surprise, The David Beckham LA Glaxy Jersey was seling at 32 dollars..which was almost a 60% discount from the original selling price of 80 US dollar..so..I BOUGHT IT! It was really niceee..man..I gonna wear it when we play soccer the next time round..and its BLACK! so can wear for the friendly match..RAWR..lols

Yo ppl
today we went to Disneyland again.
yup, we had a two day ticket, and chose to use this last chance today.
But firstly, we went to get some bread. We went to Ranch 99 which was located in Irvine. While buying the bread, we saw a MADMAN!!! He was like backing off from another person and throwing chairs around saying 'Get off!' repeatedly..
We then went off to Disneyland. It was a great journey there. We were there pretty early too, but there was already a small crowd. We decided to troop off to the office first to see if we could extend our tickets to annual passes. Infact, thankfully, we managed to! It was available at an upgraded price of 30 dollars and we could go there anytime during the next year! It was one of the highlight of the day! hahahs
We then went off to Tomorrow Land first. We took these rides..
1) Buzz Lightyear AstroBlasters
2) Autopia
3) Honey I shrunk the Audience
4) Star Tours
5) Caleb went for his Jedi Training
We then went to Fantasy Land..
1) Its a small world holiday
2) Snow White Scary Adventure
3) Pinocchio's Daring Journey
We then went to Mickey Toontown..
1) Gadget's Go Coaster
2) Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin
3) Goofy's Playhouse
4) Minnie's House
And lastly..we went back to Tomorrowland to check out if the queues at Finding Nemo Subamarine Voyage was anybetter...but it wasnt much to our dismay.so we took Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster again..before going home..
All these took place over a 6 hr period..from 10 to 4pm..
so yup, there were very little people today..not as crowded..and thats good..
we should be going back a few more times..due to the sucess of the annual pass thingy...and hopefully, we'll get to see those fireworks again..
Okay people..got to go now..hahas...byes people..and have a great day ahead 4R1..happy BBQ-ing...though I heard..the BBQ was a DISASTER! LOLS..

after buying my new levi's jeans at a discounted price of 19.99 (originally 42 US dollar) , we then went to Henry's, which is a supermarket that sells really good food items. Most food in L.A are probably organic..so yup..its very nutritious. We bought several items. =D
We had a mini BBQ for dinner, and Uncle Galvin makes really good food. hahahas..we then proceeded to Saddleback Church for night service. Yup, its the church of Pastor Rick Warren, the author of Singapore best selling book The Purpose Driven Life. The church is humoungously huge! I certainly think its about the size of NUS campus. We also bought the newset launched book by Kay Warren, the wife of Pastor Rick. It also ahd a autograph! hahahahs
We then went home, and had a greattt sleep. It was a beautiful and great day!
Day 10:
Today we woke up early to go to church service again! =D We went to Grace Community Church this time. Service started at 9am, and the order of service was quite the same as that of All Saints! Except they sing much lesser songs..hahas..we then went down to Huntington Beach. I NEVER SEEN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BEACH BEFORE! It overlooked the ocean..and the water was clear blue..not like changi beach..so dirty..haas..i also saw an oil refinery thingy..and the weather at the beach was brrrrrrr...
okay..so today we had leftovers from yesterday..

We then went to Griffith park. It was real fun..hahas..it was also prety cold..because the park was at the top of a mopuntian. there was also a space observatory station up there, and we learnt alot about the moon.
After that, we went to Ranch 99 for dinner. Wow..they served big portions..too much though..mixed vegetable rice there will seve 3 singaporeans, but it serves 1 american.

Hello people. How you doing today?
Oh man..i've been influenced by those americans! They ask me these questions everyday..wherever i go..hahaha..talk about singapore being friendly! I think they are much friendlier here! hahaha
Today morning, we had bread for breakfast and banana cakes which were baked by the 'perfume' lady who is a neighbour around here at santa margarita. She's called the perfume lady because she wears a lot of perfume everyday.
We then went to the nearby lake for a walk. It was a nice surrounding. We could see the mountain lines. Moreover, it was a sunny, but chilly day..haha. The lake had many ducks swiming around too!
We then went off to a mall. It was biggg.....haha..We had lunch there. I had an itallian lunch that involved a big slice of pizza, a giant meatball, and a cup of pink lemonade. My goodness..they really eat alot there. The serving potions were humongously huge. And they do serve mixed vegetable rice there. However, those servings can be so huge it can serve up to 3 people! hahaha
We then went around to shop, and we bought several things. And I saw David Beckham's number 23 Los Angeles Galaxy Shirt! Unfortunately, it cost US 80 so it was a bit to expensive for me to buy. But i took a photo with it though..hahas..Oh ya..we tried somehting called the Apple with caramel and brown sugar coating. It was delicious! hahaha..We also brought yoghurt that was nice..hahas
WE then went back home and on the way home, i slept...hahah..so dun noe where we went to either..hahahas
okayys..so tml is thanksgiving, and we gna stay home..gonna have loads to eat...hahahah..
Okay...england lost 3-2 to Croatia, and they're out of Euro 2008. THATS GOOD! Because they dun deserve to be there. Portugal's gonna win the next Euro 08 edition. And ronaldo, nani, veloso and mountinho is going to launch portugal right to the top. YEAH!

Today we went to DisneyLand and California Adventure Park.
Had Burger King for breakfast.
Well, at California Adventure Park, we went on the California Soarer first. It was a ride that brings u around california in a thrilling form. It feels as if u are dipping down and up he mountains. Real cool.
We then went to take the Mini Roller coaster. It was called some madhopping thingy. It had pretty sharp turns and steep drops, but otherwise okayy. Caleb was probably a little freak out.
We then took another rollercoaster which was the California Screamer. Much like the name, it was very thrilling. It involved several deep turns, and a inversion. It infact started of at speeds of around..VERY fast. It sort of stopped there, and then after mickey counts down to 5, it zooms of with the aid of those boosters on the tracks. It is fast such that it can zoom up a 10 storey building without the help of those machines and carrying 40 ppl. Thats fast for goodness sake. and it then went rite down. ALmost took my heart out.
We then took an interesting ferris wheel. It was unique. It could swing from side to side. It means that when the ferris wheel turns, you turn too, from side to side. It could well get very dizzy.
We then went to Disneyland theme park. We took 1 ride there only, despite spending an awesome 5 hours there. This was because, we wanted to take the newly built Finding Nemo Submarine ride, but had to wait almost 2 hours. That followed by a search for 5 adults -.- because we got lost -.-
We then went to eat lunch pinic style. and had to queue for the game Haunted MAnsion Holiday for 30 mins. After that, it was time for the parade which started at 3pm. I recorded the entire show. Should be up when i get home in spore.
We then had dinner at a Restaurant near Santa Margarita called Chef Chen. It is a chinese restaurant owned by Taiwanese. They serve real nice foood..and they gave us Fortune crackers. IT contains a paper which says 'The change you started already have far reaching effects. Be Ready. Hahahaha. And it continues by teaching me how to say girlfriend in chinese. -.-
what a joke.
hahahah
It was soon very dark despite being only 6.30pm. So, we went home to rest.
Tomorrow we'll be resting at home. On Thursday, we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving with a huge turkey. Hopefully, the turkey will get here in time. Otherwise, my mum will replace it with Char Siew, Roast Pork, and honey glazed ham. What a feast.
It looks like we are going to extend the disney land tickets to unlimited because it doesnt seem to be able to play finish all the rides in 2 days. hahahah
and we haven even watch the fireworks yet..
tsk tsk
alrites
shall go and play with lydiaa....
hahaha
she seems to like me alot already. But i still don get to carry her. Because i cant seem t carry her..hahahah

ahaha

Date: 16 November Los Angeles time
Temperature: Day-18,Nite-12
Today was sent off at airport by Tiong Wei and Zheng Wei. WE met at T2 macdonalds. Soon, was on the plane and waiting for take off. It was exhilarating and an enjoyablem, pleasant journey. Had 3 meals on the plane. First had lunch, then reached Tokyo, had some fun there, then had dinner, and breakfast, and at los angeles. On the way there, we saw an unbelievable sight. It was a sky of vast mass of stars. It was like a fairy tale, only it was real. I also saw the horizon between daylight and night time. It was a sight to behold. It was magnificent.
I must say I was pretty disappointed by the kind of service LAX provided. Yep, it indeed was a thorugh security check, but their aging custom officers who seem unable to use a computer were way too slow. It soon started to feel cold. It fet like malaysia at first. Bumpy roads, long expressways, and many traffic lights. But upon reaching my aunts house, it was like a castle. kekeke
We went to send my cousin to his tuition as he had a chinese test, which he scored 98 marks. We shopped at many shopping centres and had dinner at a vietnamese restaurant. It was funny. I thought it was right hand driving. But it actually was left hand. Hence, i almost sat into thedriver's seat. hahaha. I also set off an alarm of a car because i accidentally hit it. -.-
