miles, pounds, ounces and driving on the wrong side of the road.

the only thing that's keeping me from thinking we're in another world is that they all speak english - and mcdonalds and subway still exist.

after my last blog, a last minute 'family reunion' call was made. a few more of my cousins and their girlfriends and aunties and uncles came around. ian w/ jackie, elroi, lemuel & mel, david yeoh, daniel, kuku ah vui, kuku ah moi, poh poh, kung kung, all came over. we had hokkien noodles - malaysian style FINALLY! and watched wall.e. it was..different! i found out all my cousins are all becoming big-shot journalists and film makers, directors etc. and when i saw elroi, dave & lem play guitar, it inspired me to get back with my learning of guitar =).

the next morning, we went for breaky with unc tham song. we had roti =) and lotsa teh tarik! it was awesome. then, we went to the airport and had kfc for lunch - i swear it tastes better in malaysia. then, we boarded our flight for LA.

malaysian airlines service is not as good as singapore airlines, but the food is better =) i watched narnia and what happens in vegas. then, i read a bit ate and we arrived in Taipei airport. we walked around and boarded the plane again. i watched episodes of 'the Big Bang theory', 'Ugly betty', 'Back to You', and 'Rules of Engagement'. read some, and then arrived at LAX (Los Angeles airport). after disembarking the plane and getting our passports checked, we waited 1/2 hour just to collect our bag. it was insane! then, we caught a shuttle to 'Holiday Inn' in Pasadena which is where we are now.

we drove through downtown L.A on the wrong side of the road. we drove past the 'staples centre' - i'd always seen this place in the movies.. its HUGE!

we met the nicest people - the girl who helped us get a shuttle, our shuttle driver (who was nigerian), a couple (who were south american) and a lady (who was german). the wife in the couple reminded me of jonny's mum, maybe because she was south american lol.

anyway, after arriving here, i had a shower - stupid showerhead! - and we just had dinner. it was so yummy.. in and out burgers - only available in california. mmm.. i am so getting fat!

tomorrow we're going to universal studios and then moving to anaheim and then going to disneyland in the next few days.
