Day 6
This is the day Auntie Cai is soooooooo excited lor! Cos her dardar coming to join us today. So early morning, we went to LA airport to pick him up.
After that, we made our way to Hollywood! *grinZ* Went to the Walk of Fame. Took pictures with Arnold Schwarzenegger's handprints since he's governor or California. Then went all over looking for Harry Potter's, Hermione's and Ron's handprints. Lamer lor. Then went to Ripley's museum. Some exhibits were just plain gross. Think we spent another few hours in Oakley's lor! And I got the Radar, so I'm not complaining lol.
And soon it was dark liao! Quite fast lah since it's winter. So we made our way back to Holiday Inn Hotel. Tonite we staying at this place just opposite Staples Centre wor, which is the home of the LA Lakers!!! But couldn't get any tix leh, all sold out liao. So near yet so far DOTS
Went to Denny's for supper then called it a nite.
Day 7
Another friend of Auntie Cai joined us today from San Francisco. We gonna stay at his place when we go there later.
Anyway, today so exciting for me cos we're setting off for Las Vegas!!! *BIG grinZ* Always see it being featured on TV. Looks so glamorous can! Stoppd at Barstrow on the way. And then it was an afternoon of shopping again!!! And this time the boot was like full beyond hope. So we end up having to having shopping bags strewn all over our laps for the rest of the journey to Las Vegas. Looks like we're not gonna make that glam entry into L.V. after all lor lol
It was evening when we reached Las Vegas but quite dark already, as usual. We'll be staying at the Hooters Casino Hotel for the next 2 days. Not too bad cos we're just next to the famous, or infamous, The Strip, although it looks quite small compared all the majestic IRs wor

Jumper
Yeappss! Just watched that Jumper movie! So coolz man!!! I wanna jump too! ROFL
Oki, here's some terms for noobs to jumping. A jumper is one who can teleport, so to teleport is to jump. And the places that a jumper often jumps to are called jump sites. And the people who go after the jumpers to apprehend them are called paladines (I think)
Imagine going to tour without have to spend time flying to the destination and back and without spending money to buy the air tix! That's jumping lor! lol

The 20 Days of X'mas (Part II)
Day 4
We went to hire a car from Hertz to make the journey to San Diego. Wanted a compact car but they were only left with full-size (which we will later appreciate! lol) so took it. It's a Buick Lacrosse.
Drop by at Dessert Hills Factory Outlet on the way there. And this is where we spent half the day...S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G. All the big brands are like sooooooooooooooooooooooooo CHEAP wor!!! A/X, PRL, Nike, Coach, Guess, DKNY, CK, Oakleys, etc, etc, and etc. So this is when our car boot start filling up! LMAO
By the time we finally reach San Diego, it was totally dark, partly cos it's winter time too. We had a late dinner before retiring at Days Inn Suites.
Day 5
San Diego is just like LA, I think. At least, the town is similar lah. Then we headed to this little island called Conorado. It's really slow paced and tranquil. Kinda reminds me of Tasmania lor, minus the lobster! lol So spent the morning there. Really nice ;> Then there was this ice skating rink by the seaside lor in front of this really ancient hotel. Can't remember the name liao. But it's soooooo cool....literally and figuratively heheh
Then headed back to mainland and went on to Balboa Park. Think it's supposedly the biggest man-made park in the world. Went to a few museums. And they also have these little huts, each representing one country of the United Nation, some were manned, some were not.
After that, we headed to their famous wharf. Can't remember what it's called liao. Sorry lah, STM can ;p Anywayz, took some nice pics then discover they were having this Festival of Lights event tonite. So decided to stay to watch that before heading back to LA.
The Festival of Light thingy was actually all these yachts nicely decorated with all kinds of lightings, some like Santa and reindeer sleigh, some pirates, etc. Quite a visual spectacle overall albeit having out butts frozen off seated on the stone cold breakwater throughout.
Then made the arduous night drive back to our Quality Inn & Suites in LA.

The 20 Days of X'mas
Oki, I promise to re-cap my trip to US...so here is part 1 (to the best of my memories...) ;>
Day 1
Left on 5 Dec in the evening 5pm+ on SQ. And guess what?!!! I got to use T3, which makes me amongst the pioneers....hahahaaa. So they gave us DFS vouchers, which I utilised immediately, plus contributions from Auntie Cai and Uncle Chong, so I only pay $19 for my CK *grinZ*
Reached LA airport at 6pm+ the same day! Like just 1 hour of flight hor?!! lol Then Auntie Cai kinda detained by airport security siah. So that kinda took 3 hrs before we can leave just waiting for her lor DOTS
Finally reached our Quality Inn hotel in their so-called Korean Town at 10pm+. And they kinda concussed in bed almost immediately! The 2 elderlies lor...so CMI!!! So that concluded such an uneventful Day 1
Day 2
Woke up like 6am+. Didn't think I slept well. Can the police siren on and off the whole nite through siah. Kinda scary...
Yeah!!! It's DisneyLand :)) But turns out a little disappointing cos majority of the rides and themes are similar to the Tokyo one which I just went last year DOTS Tried the grilled giant turkey leg which Flo highly recommended. Ok lor...so so, nothing spectacular. Even the shops, I think Tokyo has more kawaii stuff. But since this is supposedly the original DisneyLand, try to enjoy the atmosphere lor lol
Went back in the evening. Then had dinner in a Korean restaurant around our hotel. Lurve the kim chi ;p~ And that's Day 2
Day 3
Theme park No.2....Universal Studios! Yeapps!!! Again...it's quite the same as Tokyo's lor. And I think the Spiderman ride in Tokyo is like incomparable. Of cos, they don't even have it here! lol And Auntie Cai was like saying she came here NINE years ago and sat the Jurassic Park ride for ELEVEN times. And the ride is still around unchanged lor LMAO
Left in the early part of evening so that has some time to shop around the Universal Studio Walk. And of cos paid a pilgrimage to Hard Rock Hollywood and was told the LA one closed down. Then headed to Chinatown.
And specially went for dinner at the restaurant Jackie Chan filmed Rush Hour. Food is not bad and really taste like Chinese food ;p~

High Tea at Carousel
Wow!!! So long never blog le...
Anywayz, went for high tea at Carousel today at Royal Plaza on Scotts ;p~ Went there for dinner once sometime back, but that was before the renovation. Now that it's newly renovated, kinda reminds me of The Line's layout at Shangri La.
The food is ok lah. Most impressive spread is the cold spread of seafood and the desserts. Everything else is normal lor lol But the best part is...I don't have to pay, it's F-R-E-E *BIG grinZ*
