apology

Sorry for the distorted pictures. They look kinda stretched because I tried to minimise the photos manually. Bleah. I'll show u all the pictures when you meet me in person or via msn or something.

Today, we went to swanton's berry farm in santa cruz, followed by monterey bay aquarium and then, lover's point (or something like that, I don't quite remember the place's name) The berry farm was fun! We picked our own strawberries fresh from the farm! *yum*

Tmr we're off to las vegas!

nothing-much-day

Didn't accomplish much today.

Went to the farmer's market at Santana street and after that, the rose garden in san jose. The roses are sooooo beautiful and there are so many of them! Red roses, pink roses, yellow roses, all kinds of roses!

Original plan was to visit the egyptian museum and the tech museum as well, but somehow, we didn't manage to go.

Went shopping at Vallco Fashion Mall which is near uncle meng's place instead and the whole family had dinner at a chinese restaurant at the basement.

More updates tmr.

no more late nights for me

I visited google campus this morning. A really quick tour though. There was a group of vjc students there as well. 3 teachers were with them. A pity I don't know any of them. I'm getting old, they weren't teaching at vj yet when I was there, i think.

After a visit to google, we took a walk at a park near the Bay. After which, we went to visit the computer history museum.

Took a nap the moment I got home. I was sooooo tired...

Mum woke me up cos the family wanted to go to the supermarket and i mentioned that I wanted to go there. Yea, so we went to the Chinese supermarket nearby and an american one (The supermarket is called "Target"). Didn't bring my camera there. Shall take some pictures the next time i go there.

Heading off to bed. I can hardly keep my eyes open.

miss teo can't get to sleep

it's 3am here and i can't get to sleep. Just had maggie noodles and munching on chips now.

Will be visiting google campus tmr morning and time to get more pictures.

I'll post some pictures up once I'm free/not feeling lazy/feel like posting pictures up.

Reached san francisco airport at ard 7+pm last night and it wasn't a direct flight from sg to sfo. We transited at *guess where*?

Why can't i transit somewhere else? Like japan or something? :(

Uncle meng and family will be taking a trip to seattle after we've gone back to Singapore and he asked me if I wanted to go~ *whee* I WANT! haha. But most prob not joining them since the tix back to singapore have already been bought.

The weather here is pretty cold and thank goodness i brought my jackets.

That's all for now. More updates later.

I'll be leaving for the airport in about an hr's time. *excited*

I won't be bringing my phone for this trip, so don't send me smses or call my number. My dad will be using my phone while I'm away. If there's a need to contact me, drop me an email or tag me on my blog! haha. I should be able to get internet access when I'm over there.

Take care peeps! *hugz*

Pictures of me and fred along the walkway to esplanade.

I came back from my hk/shenzhen trip on sunday afternoon and here are some pictures to share with you peeps.

I met zs along the streets in hk! Zs and his friend came over to shenzhen on the following day and we met up again. The original plan was to go to 'huan le gu' (an adventure theme park in shenzhen) but it was raining when we got there, so we went shopping instead.

The whole trip wasn't very enjoyable, partly due to the bad weather conditions. *rain, rain go away... come again another day*

The US trip has better be good! I'll be leaving tmr afternoon, 5pm flight, flying direct to san francisco and won't be back till a month later. :)
