(e dreaded C illness) hmm.. i guess miracles dun happen. boo. anw ive learnt dat life ish reallie fragile.. no one noes wats gg to happen nxt.. so jus enjoy life to e fullest! nt gg to waste my time animore.. my dream ish to work hard! save lots of $$ n travel to all sorts of places ive nv been to! for nw. i m jus gg to b a gd ger n stay at hm as much as possible.. e harsh reality.. reallie wish i m back in US with nth to worrie abt..

back in sg..

i m back.. woke up to the fone ringing at my hse n for a moment i haf no idea where i m.. e journey to san fran airport ish reallie torturous! lookin at the skies n signboards noeing dat it wld b e last time we r driving in states ish so.. ughs.. me n sl prob scared random n AT wif cryin n luffin at the same time. we played enuff as random keep sayin n its time to go back but.. reallie missed e times in states wif all of them..

i m missing...

..skies at grand canyon at nite.. have u ever lied on ur back n see e whole galaxy of stars (endless diamond sky) jus above u.. waitin for shooting stars to fly across e sky.. wif a whole new world at the background.. and refusing to leave even tho its cold n shivering coz e sight ish jus too mesmerising n all we can say ish wow.. i reallie cant go back to where i used to be..

..braving e cold n wind on top of e hill overlookin golden gate bridge n san fran.. but insisting on takin lots of pics n smilin as tho its nt cold.. we r all camera pro by then.. =)

..running around in cedar pt to chiong as mani rides as possible bfore e park close.. rollercoasters rides r e best!

..gg on endless road trips.. singing n tokkin along e trips wif new n beautiful sights to see.. not noeing wat we will get to see ish e best.. luv element of surprises!

..fireworks at magic kingdom n epcot at disneyland.. having fireworks with music at the background ish awesome! it reallie feels like dreams will come true..

..bitching abt ang mohs using chinese jus beside them.. it feels so gd to b able to say watever u wan coz e ppl around u dun understand at all!

..calling in sick at work tog jus bfore gg out on yet another road trips back in VCU.. its fun seeing how each other call in sick... esp seeing ppl like gay callin in sick using such a hyper n cheerful tone. diaox. or sometimes acting so sick.. acting ish fun!

..starting steamboat at 2am in e morn.. preparing food at 1am wif everyone so tired n hungry.. watching stupid videos we took in e dae.. VR gone wild ish reallie one of e funniest video taken!

..eating maggi mee almost every nite bfore we sleep durin e last 18daes of travelling.. haf no idea why we keep eatin when we r supposed to b watchin our diet.. *clench fist*

..waking everyone up in the morn coz e guys jus set time but nt the alarm n i gt e alarm clock.. diaos. waking crispy n charles up ish a torture. it even made cl nt wantin to haf sons nxt time! haha guys r reallie laziee.. naggin at them to wake up n to bath makes me feel so auntie.. booooo

..taking lots of pics n videos.. nv met a grp of ppl dat luv takin pics SO much. i tot me sl n cl r bad enuff at taipei.. but look at them. they can take 500 pics in total a dae?! no wonder we haf like more dan 20 gb of pics n videos..

the trip ish full of adventures..

..stopped by e sheriff for speeding at 101mph during e first roadtrip..

..turned into the wrong lane wif a car coming at us (thankfully) at some distance awae in bright daelight during one of the trip..

..missed the flight to vegas even tho we reached e airport 2 n half hr bfore departure time.. reached e gate late n yet sat down at the seat to tok to donald duck.. dat ish reallie one of the stupidest ting happened so far..

..delayed flight to vegas for close to 5hrs.. blamed it on donald again.. vegas ish such a difficult place to reach! was given a free round trip tic but too bad we dun haf time n money to use it.. =(

..the guys gt a parking fine at san fran.. n we did nt pay coz e penalty ish to tow e car awae.. whu cares abt e rented car when we r gg back aniwae?!

..accident in san fran.. some dumb car bang into us when we stopped for a red light. diaox. the driver gt no license but they still call e police?! it was an interesting experience wif all of us negotiating wif them how to settle tings n coz their eng sux like hell.. gettin e sheriff down ish cool! tho it wasted our time as its our LAST DAE at san fran n we r rushing to mani places.. it makes our trip even more unforgettable n memorable... =)


seriously.. this 3 mths ish e best part of my life. tho at first its reallie hard to adjust n work wif e americans coz we r discriminated n they jus throw all e jobs to us.. but when i get to noe them better they r realli nice n it reallie feel gd to noe tat they r treatin u like one of them n lookin after u. i reallie miss e team at dominator.. n i m reallie reallie glad cl get to noe songda they all n we went on e chicago trip. we r so lucky to meet each other n travel tog for so long. its a mystery how we bond so well tog even tho we jus noe each other for 2 mths. it feels gd to b able to tok rubbish n act childish n stupid w/o caring for image etc etc. basically jus havin fun n be whoever u wan wif a grp of frens dats e same ish reallie reallie AWESOME!

being to so mani places makes me feel dat e world ish SO BIG. i wan to keep travelling n see pretty n super indescribable places like grand canyon n yosemite.. i reallie wan to b one of those travellers dat travel around n work to travel to yet another place.. coz there r so much more to explore in dis world.. i dun wan to b stuck to the routine life of a typical sporean.. work n save to start a family n then work super hard to provide for kids n then wait for retirement.. i reallie reallie dun wan my life to b lidat.. but i noe.. jus haf to accept it coz theres no wae out. me sl n cl keep tokkin abt saving up $$ jus to travel but deep down.. we all noe its nt gg to happen.. everyone around us.. our family n frens.. will jus influenced us to lead e typical sporean life. how can we nt save $ n jus spend on travellin. my mum will jus kill me.. how can we nt get married? everyone will jus keep naggin.. i do wan to get married one dae n haf kids BUT.. nw.. i jus wan to keep exploring e world.. so mani places to visit.. so mani tings to do.. so mani tings to see.. i m at least glad dat dis 3 mths.. i get to live e life i wan e most.. at least i had a taste of how my idea of a perfect life ish like.. been there n done tat. nw. back to the normal life i noe..
