these are the extremely long awaited fotos of my US and HK trip..there are so many pictures and blogger has deleted my few previous posts so many times that ive only uploaded those from universal studios onwards..too lazy to do anymore and i gotta do my assignment for environmental science..so part 1! here goes..

First stop - Universal Studios

was super happy to see spongebob!!!

after which , we embarked on this studio tour..where we boarded this tram, and they took us ard to see the sets where hollywood movies were shot it..they had this gigantic studios where they build really BIG sets! u wouldnt believe that pirates of the carribean was shot in that building! they recreated the pirates scene in a building! amazing really..

These are not real buildings and roads..they are sets, where they film their movies..

cars which they build for movies such as the fast and the furious, jurassic park, back to the future etc..

then they brought us to see some special effects and it was preety cool..these 2 are not normal cars..because.....

they are used to film the show the fast and the furious, where the cars skid on water and burst into flames..

below are shots on how they recreat a 8.1 earthquake on the ritcher scale in a subway station..

set of Desperate Housewives..basically the houses and the main street..

this is preety cool..on one side, it is the set of the grinch that stole christmas and on the other side it was..

the set of world of the worlds!!! they brought in this real boeing 747, smashed it up and lay it there for the movie..now we know thy those hollywood movies require so much money to shoot..

the end of the tour..a lot more sets but too much to post up..

oh yes, we went to see this live show based on the movie Waterworld,..so as u can guess from its name..there were many splashes of water involved..gosh, i still rmb this movie..loved it when i was younger..this is the stage before thes show started..

ayu was terrified of the guy who tried to eat her hair..

frankeinstein got pissed off with us when we took super long to take this foto..he stormed his foot at us..scary :S

this was when wenjun ayu emu and marc went off to sit the stimulator based on the movie back to the future..but because of my motion sickness that got triggered off due to the stimulation during the studio tour..i oped out of it and adeline accompanied me..waited for sometime so we decided to photowhore..a lot of photowhoring pictures..

pretended to be some street punks in ancient new york..

Next Stop - Disneyland!

loved this tiny door..i tink its the set for alice in wonderland, rabbit's house..

we queued up for more than an hour to take pictures with the disney princesses..emu was so into taking pictures with her beloved snow white that she could wait patiently for our turn..

arent those houses cute!

chip and dale's treehouse!

Little mermaid!! i love her!!

pirates headgear..

caught the parade..gosh, i so love alice in wonderland too..

heard that poor adeline got bullied preety badly while ayu emu and i were at disneyland..the guys shared many exciting stories of how they traumatised her, and her rags, when we returned..super funny..

Last Stop - Hong Kong!

our hotel..

Hong Kong is preety much the same as the previous time ive been there..

breakfast at this restaurant..had dim sum!!

amazingly tasty carrot cake..

took a break from walking ard to drink bubble tea and i tink we got cheated..one cup of this costs 4 sing dollars!! argh!

we went to ktv that night too..hk's ktv isnt as good as singapore ones..they are not very updated with the songs! was so disappointed that they didnt haf songs which we wanted to sing..BUT, their buffet dinner was SUPER!..had sushi ok!! yum! to all the salmon..

marc is bored..

while we had fun..

oh gosh, this drink is NICE!..its HK milk tea, but they added red bean to it..really nice..when i go back to HK, i wan to drink it again..
