went to take Hollywood's twilight tower of terror..&lt;br /&gt;which was a story of how 5 ppl who took the lift on one fateful nite became ghosts..&lt;br /&gt;and then it shows us how the lift went..&lt;br /&gt;to the 13th floor..&lt;br /&gt;because there nvr was a 13 floor!&lt;br /&gt;haas&lt;br /&gt;it was an elevator ride..&lt;br /&gt;which brought us backwards first..&lt;br /&gt;then it

early..&lt;br /&gt;so we went there..&lt;br /&gt;it was a very funny ride there..cos we cld nt find it..haas..was like in circles..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we finally gt there..&lt;br /&gt;and we bought the tickets..&lt;br /&gt;and our universal studios adventure was just about to begin...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it was like a real hollywood scene..(well actually it is..they do live filming there..)&lt;br /&gt;we first went to Jurassic Park attraction..&lt;br /&gt;It claimed to have a 85 foot vertical plunge..sudden drops and acceleration..and all sorts of words to petrify u.&lt;br /&gt;but when we took the ride..it was like..nt vertical..nt sharp turn..and none of the words claimed by them..&lt;br /&gt;it was like..so nt exciting..except for those loud roars from the dinosaurs..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we then went onto the next ride..the REVENGE OF THE MUMMY..&lt;br /&gt;it claims to be the world's only rollercoaster that goes forwards, and backwards, at accelerating speeds,sudden drops..dropping props..and screams of the mummy..the picture itself were enough to scare us.&lt;br /&gt;but we just went on it..&lt;br /&gt;and it was indeed fast..indeed turning..and indeed back and forth..but it ended quite early..&lt;br /&gt;it was nt as bad..except m specs gt a little bent cos i put it in my jacket..and when i when forward..i probably squashed it..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We then went to the show backdraft..&lt;br /&gt;for those who know..backdraft is a show based on the heroism of the firefighters who battle away in a blazing furnace everyday..&lt;br /&gt;so..they made this attraction..to let u experience it..&lt;br /&gt;so we went in..and they had real fires..had the standing platform where we were at falling down a few metres..had pipes above us falling on us..mini explosions..etc..and it was so COOL!&lt;br /&gt;I took a video of it..and will upload it too..haas..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We then went to watch the 3D show Terminator 2 3D and it was not nice at all..&lt;br /&gt;it was probably the world's most advanced technology..as claimed that it was by skynet..&lt;br /&gt;its introduction was about a peek at the future..which seem like crazy things to me..&lt;br /&gt;they had things like using bionic eyes to play basketball..where every shot goes in..din it occur to them that if they invented them..no one need to play basketball anymore cos u jus keep scoring from practically anywhere!!&lt;br /&gt;the show soon started..and they had 4 big gigantic machines shooting lazers at us and each other and some boards above us..&lt;br /&gt;it then showed the terminator coming out on this motorcycle..from the screen itself..started shooting blanks around the auditorium..then a few more people came out of the screen to shoot more blanks..covering the whole place with a smoky smell..then suddenly the terminator drove into the screen with another guy..and poof.they were in the screen..in the show itself..of cos that could be an illusion..u noe..special effects..&lt;br /&gt;buts thats nt all..&lt;br /&gt;they could stand out of the screen and shoot at the screen, causing the monsters of the screen to get shot at..and supposedly get injured..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We then went to watch the show animal stars which showed the cast of EVAN ALMIGHTY. it showed how they trained the birds to carry the tools to build the ark..showed how clever the dogs were..showed how smart they were..and it was awesome..the dog behaved as if he knew what the guy was saying..the guy would say..stand up..sit down..stand up..sit down..move back..back..back..forward..forward..back..sit down..stand up..roll on your sides..stand up..ready..set..dun move..jump..and a whole lot of instructions which the dog did spontaneously..&lt;br /&gt;it was incredible..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We then went to watch the Water World..&lt;br /&gt;it was a water stunt show..and involved fire..&lt;br /&gt;nt very interesting though..though the effects were awesome..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We then had lunch..&lt;br /&gt;which was pizza and chicken tenders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We then went to....&lt;br /&gt;House of HORROR..&lt;br /&gt;it was a walk through experience..&lt;br /&gt;and it started out quite ok..&lt;br /&gt;then something came out of the darkness to scare us..&lt;br /&gt;and my sister was getting scared..&lt;br /&gt;then another scared us..&lt;br /&gt;and at the exit..a horrible looking person came out and chased my sister still she cried..&lt;br /&gt;LOL..&lt;br /&gt;and when she finally saw light and i mean real sunlight..&lt;br /&gt;the security personnal at the exit placed his hand infront of my sis and she yelled and cried!!&lt;br /&gt;LOLS&lt;br /&gt;it was scary..but i din think she would cry..&lt;br /&gt;but she did..&lt;br /&gt;lols&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We then put that aside..and went to watch Shrek 4D&lt;br /&gt;it was a very very nice show..&lt;br /&gt;i loved it!&lt;br /&gt;it was based on Shrek 3..&lt;br /&gt;and it involved ups and downs..water effects..and even tinkerbell shooting out of the screen!&lt;br /&gt;hahas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We then went for our last ride..&lt;br /&gt;the EXCLUSIVE BEHIND THE SCENE UNIVERSAL STUDIO TOUR..&lt;br /&gt;we saw the following..&lt;br /&gt;-An actual on site filming for the next upcoming film Arnold..&lt;br /&gt;-The tank where advertisements underwater are made&lt;br /&gt;-The town for Desperate Housewives&lt;br /&gt;-The scene for Evan Almighty where the ark was made and released..(it was actually a small lake..they just replaced the background in the show..i think the ark was stationary all the while..haas..)&lt;br /&gt;-The scene for War of the Worlds&lt;br /&gt;-The scene where they film any shows as long as they need a town..(ever wondered how they filmed at places u nvr find..such as certain towns calimed to be shot in paris or spain? well..they do it all at a town in universal studios..and just change the signs to a certain language..paint the buildings to mimick a certain location..and viola..u get paris at universal studios!)&lt;br /&gt;-The scene for the return of the mummy..&lt;br /&gt;-The scene of Jaws&lt;br /&gt;-The stage of CSI&lt;br /&gt;-The chalets for Directors&lt;br /&gt;-The stage for a show which had trains falling all over and ground shaking..&lt;br /&gt;-The live models of The fast and the furious Tokyo&lt;br /&gt;-and many more stages that u nvr dream of!&lt;br /&gt;it was the coolest thing i ever saw!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hahahahs..&lt;br /&gt;so alrites..&lt;br /&gt;we then went home..&lt;br /&gt;we had an awfully long journey home..cos of the traffic jam!&lt;br /&gt;it seem as if everyone was going home before the heavy storm..&lt;br /&gt;we had dinner at a chinese restaurant..&lt;br /&gt;serve nice food..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we then went to buy some korean food to cook tml..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;alrites..&lt;br /&gt;shall

It was finished with a orange juice. Perfect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We then went to take the Jungle Cruise. It was a ride through the jungles, and it was pretty interesting..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WE then took the Pirates of the Carribean. It was a water ride, and it was quite fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We then went to take Splash Mountain. WOOO..ARRRR..IT WAS WET, and WILD.

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..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we then went to take the carousel..which was dizzy-ly boring..and so we went home..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to eat dinner..at California Pizza Kitchen..and We had California Club, Roasted Garlic Chicken, and Hawiianian.

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..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!

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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We then went home, and had a greattt sleep. It was a beautiful and great day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day 10:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today we woke up early to go to church service again! =D We went to Grace Community Church this time.

She's called the perfume lady because she wears a lot of perfume everyday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 -.-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. -.-&lt;br /&gt;what a joke.&lt;br /&gt;hahahah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was soon very dark despite being only 6.30pm. So, we went home to rest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. -.-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow going to Sea world in san diego. wheex&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nites ppl..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day 2&lt;br /&gt;Date: 17 nov la time&lt;br /&gt;Temp: Freezing to me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today we went to San diego.
