昨天，一位认识我的教授请我去 LA 吃饭，然后带我去Walt Disney Concert Hall 听演奏。哇！！ 终于能到 LA 走走看看！！

这是吃饭的餐厅。。

这种餐厅格式是叫telephone booth. 有趣吧！

 

 

接着，我们走去concert hall 的周围。

　

美吧。。。　

这里是concert hall 里面。。　

 

以下有大概一百个人在唱歌。。　声量好强哦！

 唉。。　和我们新加坡的滨海艺术广场比起来，我们的有点小。。　哭。。。但我还是喜欢我们新加坡的！！

以下就是我们的Esplande Concert Hall. 美吧！呵呵。。。　　

 

我们大概十点半才回 long beach.

 我过了一个开心的夜晚！！

 

下个周末，我要看学校蓝球队比赛．还有，还有... 我们又要去LA 的Staples Center看Lakers 蓝球比赛！！　好期待哦！！！

Sorry guys! I made made you waited for my updates. Today, I am going to update 2 events at a go. One is my San Diego trip from Oct 25- 26th and the other is a pumpkin carving cum painting session in school on the 29th of Nov!!! Woohoo... both are equally fun!!

 

Lets start with my San Diego trip first...

4 of us- Me, Shan, Michel, and NAtty went on a 2D 1N tour to San Diego. Firstly... I gotta THANK Shan drving throughout the trip and Natty for finding us a place to stay. 谢谢你们哦！We set off on sat morning at about 8.30am. The drove there was approximately 1 hr thereabouts. It was quicker than i expected. We arrived at Christina's (Natty's pal) place and saw her cosy appartment. 真的很有家的感觉。。。 我有点开始想念家了.

She took us to UC SanDiego where she studied. Gosh,... it is a big campus! Very interesting tour. And i thought the most interesting building in her school was the library. Check it out....

 Later we left for San Diego Zoo at about 12.15pm. The zoo is world famous. But, i kinda thought all zoos looked the same to me. In fact, I thought Sea World was a more interesting experience for me coming from SG. We had a cool zoo here, but no marinelife park. Well... lets wait for the IRs to be up- we will get a HUGE AQUARIUM. HAha!!! I think the star attraction in the SD Zoo was 珍珍，the panda. Everyone was queuing up. She is really a cutie.... and just turned 1 this yr...

  

These are some pics from the Zoo...

We spent the entire afternoon there and later left for dinner.... Oh btw, we were in La Jolla (pronounced as La Hoya). It is really a cool, beautiful city. You will see as i take you along my journey.

This is the mall we went to.... It has a ice ring inside. There was a ice hockey game going on.  

After dinner, we went to this place downtown La Jolla for dessert. It looks like a really pricey place but the cakes were sooooooo GOOD!!!!!

We ordered these cakes and an ice-cream.... YumYum!!! IT WAS UNBELIEVABLY DELICIOUS （but it is really expensive in my opinion).

 OKAY!!!! That's all for Sat. Now for SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE SUNDAY!!! I thought it was the best part of our whole trip to Sand Diego... We went to LA Holla Beachtown. IT WAS AMAZING..... the beach is mesmorizing. The breeze and the smell of sea made me forget all my worries. Trust me guys... you can spend the whole day there without doing anything but just sit and enjoy the picturesque scenery. Just being there made me forget all my worries in the world. You will feel how insignificant yr problems and troubles are when you face the ocean ( it is the pacific). Enjoy the scenery...

 And this is me and my beach!!!

 

SHow you the seals sunbathing on the beach!

And... everyone must see La Jolla Beach town!!!

Next, we went to this famous Italian restaurant by the beach... Really an interesting place for fine dinning. Check it out. Clinton, Catherine Zeta-Jones and many famous (american) football players have been there to eat!

And this is me with the waiter who was so interested in SG and me with Bill Clinton (HAHA)!

This is me in front of the famous restaurant!!!

In the afternoon at about 2pm, we had to leave the beachtown. Instead of going back to Long Beach, we left for downtown San DIego! Aha!!! And I found myself in SAN DIEGO HARDROCK CAFE!!!! WOW!!! It is my first time to hardrock! Really cool...

 And... I really love the hardrock bears. SOOO adorable.... I got myself one too!! 

 Check out the rest of San Diego Downtown....

Now don't all of you agree with me that San Diego is really a beautiful place?? HAha... I really enjoyed myself throughly. It is like taking a holiday. And this is what I got back from San Diego...

A La Holla Shirt, my Panda from the Zoo, my hardrock cafe teddy bear, and an choc coated apple (which was not from SD) Haha... I just thought it looked cute so I added it in.

 Hope you guys enjoyed reading my journey to San Diego La Jolla!!!

 

Luv,

小方

 

P.S: I will write on the pumpkin carving activity another time... I wanna do a sole entry on that. And i promise you will get a lot of fun readin that!!!!

KnOt's BeRry

 

Woohoo!!! Knot's Berry was fun!!!! 9　of us went and came back tired but very happy.

My accomplｉshment for the night was going on a crazy, ultimate roller coaster. I kinda had to make up for one embarassing thing I did- which was to back out last minute for one of the coaster rides. Ha! I didn't know why I backed ut at that point in time... But I just didn't feel secure. So, I abandoned Kevin and jumped out of the ride myself. Opps.....

Comparing Universal to Knot's Berry, I prefer Universal. It was scarrier and the costumes were more realistic. Knot's was more for the rides. The rides were good and my fav was the log ride! 4 of us- me, 善清, Michel, and Kazuki were in one log.

 

Here are the group pictures..

 

 

Some Of ME...

 

 

These are some of my favorites.... We were both sooo funny!!!! Hahaha!!

 

 

And last but not least.... my brave partner（善清）for the night....

The night at Knot's Berry was Hot Hot Hot...!!!!!!! I think it easily could have been 28.degress celsius. But we still wore our CSULB jackets anyway... BEACH PRIDE! !!! Woohoo!

我好期待星期六哦！！　我们要去San Diego!!! 但先要对善清说声谢谢。　谢谢你开两个小时的车把我们四个载去载回。

 

Till then.

 

Love,

一些有趣的照片。。。

我想我昨天写的那一篇有点让大家担心。大家请放心，我没事。我只是昨天心情不好，所以想写出来发泄一下。I am fine, don't worry about me!

Sometimes, we have to go through the downs to appreciate the ups in life. And yesterday just happened to be one bad day. But I learnt a great deal in how to deal with it afteralll. I guess this is all part of life and I have to learn all these at a certain point in my life.

I am feeling good today. AND i have decided to show something interesting to everyone!!!!

LOOK AT THOSE BELOW!!!!

They are MEXICAN SWEETS!!!!

How cool can that be?? HAha! I tried some of them. They have a very interesting and unique taste. It is sour, yet a little spicy, and sweet at the same time!! I will make sure I bring some back to SG and let all of you have a taste of them!

I am always looking for sweet stuff here. I am positive I have a sweet tooth. I can't get enough of sweet things!!! Chocolates, sweets, ice-cream.. Opps... Am i making anyone jealous here? Haha!  

 

I also have some little cute creatures accompanying me here.... they are my babies!!! Aren't they cute?! (Kisses & Smacks...)

 

The last treasure I have here is my radio, I always lsiten to classical music when i study. I think it kinda helps me relax, and take things easier.

I am really feeling great today. Don't worry about me, okay? And thanx for all of your concern for me!\

 

Luv,

小方 

P.S: JW!!! Perserve!!! I know you can do it!!!! A few more days to go only!!! 一定要加油哦！！！　

我觉得自己为自己活是很重要的。不必看别人的眼光。 只要不要做出伤天害理的事，我觉得我们应该 be true to yourself. 因为最后，人生是自己走的。又不是为别人走，干嘛那么在乎别人的眼光呢？最重要是自己开心，对所做的事负责，能面对家人。那就行了！

我一直为这一点感到很矛盾。似乎从来都想不明白。但经过了这一个多月的时间，我终于明白了这个道理。在这个月里，我学到了很多很多，似乎看透了。想法也变成熟了许多。有些东西，我跟本就不用在乎别人怎样看我。What really matters is how I see and believe in myself. That is all that matters. 真的。。。 还有，尽力而为 - 那才是最重要的！ 其它的，都是 secondary.

这个月真的太离谱了。。 我似乎都迷失了自己， 变成了另外个人。好可怕哦。。。 过了今天，我要找回我原来的自己，不要再看别人的眼光给自己那么多压力！太辛苦了。还是为自己活好！

 

Love，

小方

 

P.S: 很想告诉孝蓉我很感谢她在我身边帮我，听我诉苦，发泄- Always making me feel so much better. Mich 也是！谢谢你们两个！我真的很幸运能认识到两个那么好的朋友。

Mich: Thanx for everything.... listening to me and comforting me. You have been a great help all these time.  

 

 

我回来了！！！！

哇。。。 我的那些 mid-terms 终于考完了。真是开心！！！ 我星期四考完以后真的是疯狂的玩了一天半！哈哈！！！ I deserve it, don't I?? 星期五是Natty 的生日。。。 很开心能替她庆祝。 （Natty，你21岁咯！没关系，我不久就和你一样老了。哈哈。。）

I wanted it to be a memorable B'day for her so I decided to cream her... But i guess everyone really had great fun. That's all that matters right, guys???

 

Ok, 我 一定要让大家看到这一面。。。 我们这群男朋友真的好可爱哦。。。 原本应该是我去清理地上的cream （因为那个cream 的鬼主意是我想出来的）,但他们却动起手脚来，帮忙我清理干净。。 真是惭愧哦。。。呵呵。 善清，安毅，Kazuki，Michel，辛苦你了！！！但是非常谢谢你们啦。

 

 

傍晚，我们向 Universal Studios 出发。好兴奋哦！其实我坐在车的前位有点压力。 因为有我们六个人一起，所以好像有责任，一定要帮善清看路。。 呵呵！但我们的善清驾车技术那么好， 根本不需要我操心。接下来，我写英文好了。哈哈！

When we reached Universal, it was already 6.30pm. We were standing in line for the entrance by7pm. There was a security check. Argh... No water bottles allowed!! That is so unfair!  The bottles were not even opened yet! Anyway, when we got in, I immediately felt a sense of creepiness. It really had the settingsof halloween. I was a little frightened by then already. Suddenly from no where, some monster with chainsaws ran towards me. SCREAMS!!!!  I RAN AWAY IN FRIGHT!!!! Rachel was screaming as she ran... omg... that was such a sight!!! HAHahA!!!

Everyone wanted to go into the very first haunted house they saw. I was already reluctant to step in by then 'cos i was really scarred... I just grapped on to anyone near me. Sorry guys.. I think out of us three girls, Natty was the bravest!!! 

After the first haunted house,  I was truely frightened. Out OF MY WITS!!! LOLS.... Once we got out of the haunted house, haha... everywhere I went, I was holding on to 善清's arm. I dared not to walk alone without him. Gosh.... I think he is really brave! In the mazes.... I was literally grabbing on to 善清 for my dear life. Now to think of it.. I think it was soooo funny. But don't laugh okay, guys.... It was really scarry for me!!! BUT.. I want to say a big THANK YOU to 善清. THANX THANX THANX!!!! (善清, really thanks for walking me through all the mazes and those scarry streets in Universal... I need your help one more time at Knot's Berry.)  

I guess we all react to fear differently. For me, my friends say I turn really quiet when i am scarred. I was really feeling uncomfortable after the first maze and feeling really tired. So, I didn't say much. Everyone was really concerned for me. They thought it was kinda abnormal for me to be like that. But, I was back to my real self after eating the Cinnabon. I think it is the sugar that I needed to make me hyper again. (Thanx for all your concern, guys. I am really touched! I think the sugar was all I needed. Haha!)

Rachel was obviously screaming away and grabbing arms, hair- everything she could find!! THAT WAS HILLARIOUS!!!! But, i think she was really scarred too!!!

We managed to do all 3 rides and most of the mazes. For the last maze, it was rated the no.1 maze, so Mich wanted to try it. I was really scarredddddd at that time. But I decided that i would hold on to 善清 anyway and cover my head with my hood. As we went in, that Rachel!!! OMG... she is worse than me.... I thought i was already bad enough. But she just wrapped her hands around my waist and clinged on to me for her dear life. She litterally hugged me so tightly throughout the whole maze!!!!! HAHa... I guess she didn't really get to see anything in that maze. For me, I just held on to  善清 for my dear life too.. LITERALLY.  He pratically led the way and I just followed him, with rachel hugging me from behind. Man.. he really is brave!!! Thank goodness he is there.  （善清, 再次谢谢你哦。。　你真的好勇敢！）

Ok... I must show you my hero for the Halloween night....

 

Mich!!! Thanx for constanly encouraging me and being so concerned for me throughout the walk.

 

 Now.... time for some really gd group pictures.... Enjoy them!!!

  

 

These 2 pictures below are Rachel and Natty...

 

The next 2 pictures you'll see are pictures taken by the cameras from the rides we took- The Mummy and The SImpsons respectively. I can't help it but buy The Mummy photograph. It was SO WELL TAKEN WITH ALL OUR MOUTHS OPENED!

 

Hope all of you really like this entry！！！

That Dress!!!

Finally I put on that dress today!!! Gosh... I guess everyone had a super hard time convincing me... (esp Natty). Haha!! I honesty thought I looked terrible on that dress. But after today... I am going to be confident! Haha.. thanx to all my friends.  Vanessa exclaimed when she saw me saying that this dress looked flattering on me. Wow... what a compliment!  

OK FOLKS!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL YR COMPLIMENTS. I WILL BE CONFIDENT IN THAT DRESS FROM NOW ON! Hahah...

 

Luv,

小方
