hey all,
sorry for not blogging in ages. firstly, we didn't have free internet in L.A, then i just haven't had time (or been lazy!)
gilroy:
so we drove about an hour and a half to gilroy shopping outlets from san francisco. it was awesome! we bought so much, especially at GAP. i got jeans, tops, cardis, shoes..
san francisco --> L.A:
we drove from san francisco to LA through 'Yosemite National Park'. it was not nearly as great as we expected (mainly cos we all just wanetd to get to LA!!), but still beautiful. we finally arrived in LA at like 9.30 PM and checked in to our hotel.
konichiwa from the city of angels:
we stayed in 'kyoto grand' in little tokyo in LA. the hotel was pretty crap - fridge didn't work, no free internet, no free breakfast, small room, yucky bathroom.... so my parents complained and we got 2 days free buffet breaky - woohoo! lol. we explored LA city a bit more and went shopping at 'Citadel Outlets' near LA. i got jeans, and not much else.. we'd practically out-shopped ourselves at gilroy. we also spent a day catching public transport and visiting macy's and their shopping district (which to be honest was pretty crap, and cannot compare to bourke street mall whatsoever). and we had japanese fast food at 'yoshinoya' and it was yuck. and then we packed to go to the airport.
DELAYED FOR 18 HOURS:
we were SOOOO annoyed. cos we were all so ready to come back to malaysia.. but NO, they had to delay because of a typhoon in taipei (even though singapore airlines still flew to taipei!). they gave us a hotel room, and $7.50 worth of 'credit' for everyone for meals (which we weren't quite happy about because you can't get any food at a hotel for $7.50, so we had to pay extra). we were so hungry that we walked to burger king at midnight for food! me and elysia made full use of the hotel and went swimming!
arrived in KL:
finally, our plane took of and we made another stop over in taipei, and arrived in KL at 3.30AM on the 1/10/08. we were so tired when we got back to kuku susu's house. woke up that same morning very late, so we went for brunch with kuku susu, uncle kim ling, justine & sean. we had yong tau fu (my dad's favourite, though i'm not too keen). and then my cousin dave called and asked if i wanetd to catch a movie, so we all went to 1Utama and i met up with david, kuku ah voi & daniel. we went to watch 'eagle eye' which was pretty good except for the ending was really cliche, so it made it just good. then, i went back to dave's house and almost fell asleep. we had dinner with aunty kim moi, sarah, aunty peggy, aunty annie & jeremy. we went for crab =) and lalas and the authentic black hokkien mee (except it wasnt that good there). then, when i got home, my cousins keisha and serenity were here, so we had a girls sleepover with justine (10 years old), elysia (10), keisha (7), serenity (4).. complete with late night roti and ready anastacia in the dark. they kept me up all night and woke me up at 3AM, 5AM, 6.30 AM and finally 7 where i just gave up and woke up. they were all so cute!
today:
i'm going out for lunch with my mum's side of the family. then, getting dropped at sarah's house and meeting up with amy for dinner & a late movie or a movie and a late dinner. and then sleeping there.
so all up, i'm having a fantastic time, although i miss you all MUCHLY and i still have a dreaded english esay to do (which i think i should do now since i have nothing else to do atm anyway).
will blog and when i am not lazy anymore, i will upload pictures =) (that might take a while.)
but it's been great to reminisce on places i used to go when i was little and all that kinda stuff, as usual, i'm going to have a hard time leaving KL! family reunion on saturday night.. woohoo!
please tag tag tag tag or email email email.
love you all, miss you
xoxo
