aloha, according to ayu

hello hello! im back in singapore..and im so tired now..7pm here, but its like 4am in LA..i didnt tink that jet lag would only start like now u know..tot i got over it in HK but im so sleepy now..but may be due to the extremely yummylicious mayim brunch i had with dad and mom today..haha..

so hows it in the US? i guess thats wat most ppl are gonna ask me..

no pictures yet cos its all with my other frens..took loads and loads of them..for a sneak preview..which shows like 25% of all the pics we took..pls proceed to click at this underlined link.

ok truth be told, i stopped blogging at this point yest and went to do something more impt - namely dota :D so its 8am now and im continuing this post..gosh, i tink something's really wrong with my body clock..i woke up at 7am! now whoever heard of that before lol..

hmmm i seriously dunno where to start ahha..ok i shall describe my trip..we took a total of 10 flights within one month..TEN flights!! can u imagine it..sounds like we are so rich or something..taking the airplane everywhere..singapore to HK to LA to denver to okc back to denver to LA to San Franciso to LA (again) to HK and finally to Singapore..tink of the amount of radiation we are getting from the sun man lol..apart from that, its a really nice view from up there on the airplane..u get to see huge masses of land that look so tiny from that high up..and u are flying amongst, let mi repeat, AMONGST the stars! there are stars everywhere..below, besdie and above..a sight that u dun behold every day u know ahha..

did u rise the sun for me? paint a million stars that i might know ur majesty?

ive always liked stars..every since i was a little kid, i would sit down at my window and repeat this prayer every single night - starlight, star bright, first star i see tonight, wish i may wish i might, haf the wish i wish tonight..and den i would repeat that same wish over and over again..hahah sometimes i got wat i wished for, sometimes i didnt..but oh well..it isnt the stars that gave mi everything, it was that big old guy up there..

missing oklahoma the most cos its the most relaxing place that u will ever come across in ur life..according to mr lee..its like still waters, and we are the few chinese pebbles that are thrown across the surface, making tiny little ripples here and there..and everything will settle down and return to that still surface when we are gone..misses marriott residence inn at west reno..and louise, air-con man gary, bumming ard with the gurls in room 824 and moving over to starbucks once in a while to check out on the drinks :D (yes adeline our room is 824, not 822)..climbed some mountains to savour spectecular views that are non-existant on this tiny singaporean island..encounterd some really heavy T(ornado) storms while we were there, the sky was literally RED..released a few measly ladybugs in an indoor botanical gardens..ran a mile, got my body fats and blood pressure tested, which made mi deicde that im going to exercise really hard man..shopped at that one and only penn square mall which somehow managed to entertain the whole horde of us for that 3 weeks..cooked meals, had some jackies gathering..caught a few animals on tape, had a miny tussle with a pig called grumpy (and boy was she grumpy indeed), learnt a new sport called basketball (its new to me) and so much so much more..

ppl are there are really frenly..and it felt like home every single night while we are all snuggled up in that wonderful inn..now the only downside was that america is a tipping country, and we spent so much money on tips that are like, not worth it! grumbled every single time we had to let go of some of our precious money for stuff that's not worth paying..hmpf..macdonalds there SUCKS..no wonder americans dun really like macdonalds..they shld come here and try it man! cant believe im craving for some good old singapore macdonalds right now lol..

school was..school..the three modules left memories that will be stored up in boxes and brought up once im hanging out with jackies again..ms binkley and mr guerrero, karlie harmon (oh fluff!) and dr nail (alright thumbtack if u guys wan to call him that!)..dr nail was really funny, in a not so common funny way..u had to literally catch his joke..denise short was so nice too..and we had nice dinner with two of our professors over there haha..tv production was something that was fun..i haf to go find that vcd and look thru it again..gosh jackies! we rock our socks off the walls, bounce them off the walls and onto the floor mans!

holidays were, holidays..san fran was freezing!! no u dun know and u prob wun understand till u've been to san fran when i was there..it isnt enuf to wear any amount of clothing at all!! u will LITERALLY freeze at night..stayed in some red light district in a horrible hostel which left all of us upset (and one paranoid for our whole stay there)..couldnt wait to get out of there and back to lovely marriott residence inn in LA..visited some places of interest in san fran, juz doing the tourist thing..thanks to wenjun's cousin for showing us ard and that wonderful treat the first day..seals are cute, but they stink..well, at least the seals at pier 39 stinked, a lot..alcatraz prison was no prison compared to good old changi prison..and i cant believe the prisoners complained abt the food there..there were getting spagetthi with meatballs! (the meatball part might not be true)..but they had nutritious food which actually tasted nice! how do i know, cos its the stuff we eat everyday..pasta, bread, fruit, coffee, tea etc etc..the audio trip was interesting..they gave us this little headset with a small radio like looking thing attached to it..pop it over ur ears and haf a physical walkthru down those alleys where prisoners and guards roamed before it was closed..listened to the greatest escape of all time and how ingenious some prisoners are in trying to escape (3 actually managed to using dummy heads to fool the guards)..visited castrol, the equivalent to homosexual town in anywhere u can find one..saw A LOT of gays..really a lot..marc and wenjun were in danger over there, but the gurls wun really in danger..gosh, the rainbow sign over a shop actually means tt its a gay shop haha..wun be see-ing much of that here in spore..

LA was interesting but tiring for me..well maybe cos ive been on a constant tour for three days, waking up at unearthly times of 7 to go sight-seeing..had some tour of the city, got to visit beverly hills, rodeo drive, walk of fame (and took a picture with my fav jack sparraws lookalike!) and sets of popular dramas like pacific blue and baywatch..universal studio on the 2nd day was juz absolutely thrilling!! loved the mummy ride which we set TWICE..and our picture was so freaking hilarious!!! went on a tour for some behind the scenes action of movies that were made..u wouldnt believe how realistic an earthquake can be in an underground subway station! gosh, when i get that video and upload it here, maybe it will explain a bit more..or u could choose the other option and ask mi straight! the waterworld show was nice..but we failed to take a pic with stone cold lookalike in smokers wear!! ARGH that was sadness for a moment..disneyland was next..didnt hold too many surprises cos its like an enlarged version of the one in HK..did some kiddish thing like lining up in the queue for one bloody hr to take pictures with beauty (from beauty and the beast) and snow white..got a pic with ariel!! she's my childhood fav! and many more..we took the whole day tour and started regreting at ard 7pm..so tired, that we slacked the rest of the time in a cafe like place waiting for the pick-up time to come..

HK was not so good this time round..maybe its due to the lack of time, plus tiredness and homesickness of the jackies..bought stuff for myself again..cos i really like the fashion there, cant seem to find it in many places here in spore (ok fine, i haf weird fashion sense i know haha)..didnt do much except shopping..OH and cutting my hair!! i really like it!! mr lee had his hair coloured! something he did for the first time..and missy adel fianlly added shorter bangs onto her forehead which looked so much better :D the food's not that fantastic..and we didnt manage to go causeway bay for sushi and krispy kremes (sorry derrick!) due to the lack of time..

and finally back home..the first welcome home message i got was from gerald! haha..im really glad that i chose to transfer to adults three weeks before i left singapore cos i tink it helped my thoughts and feelings while i was in america..and im missing my cg terribly..caregroup's on later and i cant wait to see them..meeting ms wynnie chong for dinner at isle cafe (YAYNESS!) before cg, looking forward to getting to know her better and telling her all the wacky things that are happening in my life! and yeah!! im gonna watch pirates of the carribean (my absolute favoritest show of all time) with beloved cg next saturday!! thank you gerald for planning the movie..

this reminds mi of something..im amazed at how some ppl haf such wonderful adminstration skills..like missy adeline..gosh, we couldnt haf survived the trip without her i tink..we wouldnt be able to get the paperwork done, and im sure that we will prob forget to do something thats impt halfway during the trip..she does everything! and i mean everything! dun u agree jackies? she keeps all those papers, regardless of whether they are useful or not..and she plans the hotels, flights, sleeping arrangement etc etc..so kudos to her! (not sarcastic ok! back in spore alr, ppl here not sensitive le haha)..gosh missing jackies too i realize..no more familiar faces when we wake up haha..like emu bird who sleeps with me on the same bed and plainly for comic relief..and tink american air is doing something to her brain, making her heahve some booger thats secrambbling up her brain, pumping it with lithuim and throwing all of us into fits of laugther..marc for always bringing us to the gym and carrying our really heavy luggages AND always disappearing to somewhere as we are walking together..ayu for being so spaced-out when she encounters some problems and her sudden bursts of nonsensical speech thats juz not ayu-ish, plus telling us NOT TRUE information with her its-a-fact tone of voice..and wenjun for, hmm, comic relief again..spasing us out with never-ending spews of facts and fiction (tho u cant really differentiate one from the other) and yes! for helping out with the luggage too..the gurls are forever in the debt of u two..

ok so back to singapore..meeting cg later! and old dmm next monday i tink..met dewen yest for a short while at lot 1 and he cracked mi up with his elaborated dramatic example of american speech..and y-budd nxt friday night..thats a lot of ppl at one go..kinda miss american life for now..will take some time getting used to the hectic lifestyle here again..and sighs, exams and assignments coming up..gotta stop procrastinating and start early!

the main message of the trip that i felt that god wanted to tell me - LET GO :)

ask mi that if u do wan to know..if not, im too lazy to type it out here too haha..

alright meeting joshua lee for breakfast later i tink..if he can wake up..im either gonna drag him to eat macdonalds, or yong tau foo..been craving for that :):):) yummylicious!!
