:D happier but fatter than before

i was in jess' class just now. crashed her finance class. boy is it boring. haha. if not for the laptop i would have been dozing off. was afraid that the lecturer would discover that i'm not in his class. not even a student of this school. hahaha. but its quite interesting to crash her class. the thrill of it. :D


isn't her school lovely! i love love the purple trees. :D

i wish i can bring the seeds of the purple tree back to singapore to plant! why doesnt singapore have purple trees! argh! i doubt the trees can survive in singapore.. =/ sucky climate.

haven't been blogging. cuz i've been busy editing photos. hahaha. we took TONS of photos. if i dont resize them, they would take up so so much space la. a few GBs! haha. those from my cam plus those from jess' cam. haha. anyway, life has been good and i'm happy :D i cant believe that time flies by so quickly. i'll be leaving next sunday night! omg. there are so many things i would miss. like the ice blended green tea boba from urth cafe, the super yummy crepe, the churos from disneyland, the cute waiter at gyu-kaku.. etc. HAHA. of course the person i'll miss the most is jesslyn novianty. :)



by the way, gyu-kaku is jap bbq. super yummy! the beef and the cow tongue... yums. hahaha. jess says there's gyu-kaku in singapore! i was shocked. hahha. CHIJMES! i am so gona go there. :D hope the standard is just as good! over the period of stay here, i've grown to love cow tongue! its yummy! yea the thought of it is gross, but hey its yummy! hahaha.

my shoulders are still peeling from the sunburn and that sucks. oh ya, my scalp is also peeling. gross. looks like dandruff. super huge pieces. i hate sunburns. the sun can be so hot here, but the wind is still so cold! hahaha. in the afternoon it can be 27deg, at night it can drop to 19deg. still, i rather be cold than hot. i wish the wind here can be imported to singapore. then singapore wouldnt be so hot!





jesslyn has been a wonderful tour guide. :D we went to so many places, and she brought me to so many places with yummy food and boba! the more major places we went to would be the beaches (venice beach and santa monica beach), Disneyland, and Las Vegas! the photos above were taken at the beaches. 




 
the sun was so hot in the afternoon! haha. but still Disneyland was awesome! we took truckloads of pictures there. :D got some souvenirs for friends there. oh ya, i ate this caramel apple, and got soooo sick of caramel cuz jess didnt want to help me eat it and i had to finish it myself. FYI, disneyland has the best CHUROS! like omg, the outside is so crunchy, the inside is all warm and soft and chewy.. the sugar coating compliments it marvellously.. ahh!! i'll miss the churos there.. =( haha. anyway we walked for like 10hrs that day i guess? both our feet were hurting badly when we finally went home around 9-10pm.





vegas really was an awesome experience! i love the interior design and architecture of buildings there. :D too bad we're under 21. :( it TOTALLY SUCKS to be under 21 in vegas! no gambling, no clubbing, no alcohol, not even liqueur chocolates. =_= the worst part was that, we couldnt even check into the hotel jess already booked and paid for! wthh! we were supposed to be staying at the Palazzo. instead they didnt let us check in, and helped us to find a hotel which would allow under 21yr olds to check in- Westin. oh wells. and we met a scary person the first night there. overall i still love vegas! :)

now i'm at her library blogging cuz i can't crash her second class. some writing class thing. haha. oh wells its only 2.5hrs. :D so i'm waiting for her here.
 


this is me today. do i look fatter? =/ its DIETING when i get back!

May. 25th, 2009

i'm lovin' L.A!


the journey there

i chose window seats for the whole journey there. i don't think i was supposed to use the camera. but i still did anyway cuz the view is so awesome! and the plane didnt crash or anything. :D


bye singapore :D did you know singapore looks like that??:D



hello and bye hongkong. haha.
 
oh something stupid happened at hongkong. i didnt know that i didnt have to collect my luggage there. so i went looking for it. got so worried for nothing. hahaa. i asked some guy working there where i should go if i can't find my luggage. hahaha. then he looked at my plane tickets and told me it would be directly transfered to the next plane. anywayy, i wana really go to hongkong next time. not just in the airport. lol. i want to visit my god brother raymond lau there! and eat the famous hk dim sums.

 

hellooooo AMERICA. :D

the 12hr30mins plane ride from hk to L.A was quite unbearable. cuz, there was this freak pervert who came to sit next to me and he kept doing totally gross stuffs. he's a 50yr old american citizen. not white not black, dont know what race he is.
 
Day 1
 

the awesome jesslyn novianty! :D


BESTFRIENDS FOREVERRRRRR <3 iloveyou!
 


watched Startrek at Century City with siqin, jacqueline, and jacq's friend
 
hahaha. okay sebastian i know i know, i said i'd never watch startrek. but i watched it afterall here. :D hahaha. it was much better than i expected. cuz i thought it would be something like star wars.  haha. i'm so totally not into starwars type of movies.

my camera really isn't good. at night when i take without flash, just abit of movement will make the photos blurryyy. so, that explains the blurry photos. haha.
 

after the movie jess brought us to this awesome taco selling place! [siqin, me, jess, and jacq]


they taste so much better than they look i swear! :D


went home after chilling at siqin's and sebastian's (jess' friend) place

i'm plesantly surprised to see all the presents there! those we gave jess for her bday :D haha. jess has the most COMFORTABLE SOFA everrrrr in her living room! her bed is also damn shiok to sleep in! hahahaha i love this place! :D :D

the view from jess' place :) end of day 1!

start of Day 2



the CREPE IS SO GOOOD! omg! best crepe everr! haha. and that's the legendary boba i've heard much about. boba is bubbletea. :)
 


abram drove caroline, jess and me to southcoast plaza. haha. it was quite far awayy. i slept all the way there. :D southcoast plaza has allllll the well known brands you can ever think of. cool. :D




we went to Melrose ofter that. bought stuffs. :D Johnny Cupcakes (brand of clothes) has a really interesting shop design and their packaging is cute too!


went to Beverly Center, shopped at Forever 21. haha. their stuff there is so much cheaper than the Forever21 shops in singapore!




 
bram's friend hartanto joined us for dinner. we ate at this place called Gyu-Kaku. Jap BBQ. They introduced me to COW'S TONGUE! omg. the thought of it is rather gross right, but in actual fact,  it was rather tasty! hahaha. surprisingly tasty! its the redish slices of thingy on the plate in the photo above. :D jess doesn't like it though. we spent about 39usd each there.

one of the best part of that restaurant, is that they have this SUPER CUTE half jap half korean waiter!! and he's real friendly and funny too! hahahaha. abram said that i had the 'i want you look' when i was looking at the waiter. hahaha. what rubbish! hahaha. but but i dooo like him alot, and kept flashing my mega watt smile whenever he came to serve us. hahaha. his name is Sean by the way.


 
hahaha. oh seannn... i'll definately go back there just to visit him before leaving L.A! hahaha and i swear he looks SO MUCH better in real life! hahaha. <3 and he's cute and funny and all... i still remember him waving when i said hi. hahaha. THAT WAS LIKE SOOO CUTEEE! i miss him already! x) on a feedback form, i left my email and name. haha. jess wrote 'email me and i'll send you our photo!' hahhaa. i dont think he'll email me la. but just secretly hoping? hahaha. oh wells. at least i did take a photo with him. so i have no regrets. :D



last stop for the day: URTH CAFE! (: 

the legendary urth cafe i've heard about. their boba was GOOOD! i was so damnn full after drinking that boba after dinner. urth cafe sells organic stuff. :D their cakes and pastries looked so damn good! i'm so gona try it before leaving L.A. :D


I'M HAPPY! (:

what a mistake

Temasek Holdings originally had $5.9 billion worth of Bank of America shares. Being idiots they sold the entire stake thus resulting in the lost of about 90%! what the hell! that's alottt of moneyyy omgg. i'm no genius in this sort of thing, but from my point of view, they should have just kept their shares till they rose! and they eventually will! like when will the Bank of America go bankrupt? =_= hellooo?

i was told that basically, shares (of good companies) will never stop rising overall. its just the matter of time. some rise slowly, some faster. the bad companies wind up bankrupt.

Temasek Holdings got the shares when the price was already falling, perhaps thinking that it would rise. however, it started falling even more drastically. when it finally started to rise a little, they sold everythinggg off! after that the price continued rising. if they had not sold off at that time, they would not have lost so much. and i believe the the price of the stocks will one day rise higher than it ever was. however what's done is done. Temasek has already lost billions. =_= i know its not my money, but still i feel that the money is SooOOo wasted. billions! buying the shares when the price is high and selling it when its oh-so-low. that's the perfect formula to waste your $$$ away.
 



oh wells.

SugaRush

i just ate yummy home baked brownies with cookie dough flavoured ice cream, and i'm HAPPY. :D hahahaha. oh the simple joys of life. hmmm... should i bring my dog out for a walk? or just watch my two and a half men? lol. maybe i'll do both!

oh i was so sleepy at work today, kept dozing off omg. hahaha. boss caught me sleeping, and he was like, "melinda what are you doing huh?" =/ hahaha. but i had a good reason! it was cuz i was waiting for the retarded com to render out a perspective. on average, it took about 1hr45mins to render out one perspective. did a total of 8 perspectives today using 2 coms. haha. so during that duration of 1hr45mins, i naturally got so bored and SLEEPY! hahaha. sigh. have more to render out tomorrow. i'm considering to bring a book perhaps, to read while waiting, so i wouldnt keep falling asleep. :D which book shall i bring?? hmmm...
