By popular demand

Ok the other time i forgot to take pictures of krispy kreme. This time all of us happen to pass by and we got a dozen. So here's the picture you guys wanted! especially Wanlin. haha. i had the raspberry and original wan. i still prefer it if they put less sugar coating. The aftertaste just makes me felt like i had drank one whole cup of sugar coating.

zhiqian, yicui, cynthia, xueying, wanlin, jamie: this is for you!

Today I missed my bus stop and had to alight one stop later. And guess what? Opposite is a petrol station mart with a big banner saying "Krispy Kreme: now available" Most of you know by now that i don't really like Krispy Kreme donuts. I find the sugar coating too sweet. Knowing that you guys are crazy over them, i decided to give it another try.


Know what? I still don't like it.

San Francisco Day 2


Me, Yenling and Han yang went for an early morning stroll before everyone woke up. San Francisco is full of slopes. But unlike NUS, they look much nicer.


Nice tree. Apparantly there's a story behind it.....



Yes...it's really cold out there...


The REAL Golden Gate Bridge!





Night scenery. The photo doesn't do it justice.


The Martin Luther King jr memorial hall

Yerba Buena Gardens(it's just a children's playground)


Birthday ice cream. It's damn hard to find a cake!

Birthday boy and birthday gal

Just one of those days....

Had 3 AWESOME days at San Francisco. But it had to be followed by a lousy day in school. Haha. Just one of those days when you just feel lousy and everything doesn't go the way you wanted it to be and you're looking for some company. Walked around school hoping to see some familiar faces but wasn't that lucky. But a bad day can always be saved by listening to some wonderful songs! Was feeling horrible til I remembered about my soon to be spoilt mp3 player and it totally cheered me up. Hehe. Shall post the San Fran pics during the weekend after I'm done with all my homework that's all due end of the week. It sucks when i still don't have a desk to do my work! haha

Yosemite cancelled! But San Francisco here i come!

We had plan to go Yosemite this weekend for snow-shoeing for the long weekend(Monday's Martin Luther King Jr day) but it had to be cancelled coz the weather forecast predicted that it will hit a low of -4 Fahrenheit. Not advisable for 1st timers. Yes, Fahrenheit. Not celsius. After converting, it will be a whoppping -20 degrees celsius. The organiser told us to go during the next long weekend which will be Feb 17-19! Haha! Chinese New Year is a public holiday here too! But it's called President's day here. haha. Chinese New Year out in the mountains! Anyway, after some discussion we decided to go San Francisco instead! Hehe. So those of you who been there before please give some sugeestions of places to visit!Ok..off to copy my homework. No idea why the prof still wants us to hand in the homework when he released the solutions already. Just a waste of my time haha.

Sacramento

It's the first weekend since school started! haha. We took a bus to downtown Sacremento. The journey there had to be carefully planned. Bus on Saturdays only comes once an hour and we had to take a bus to the bus stop for the Sacramento bus. Tim and I had to look through the bus schedules and find the best possible timing to make sure our wait was minimal but not too late to make sure we don't miss the bus. Sacramento was freezing. It was minus 1 degress celsius! But don't expect snow. It seldom goes below 0 degrees and it had to coincide with rain to have snow. One of the ladies at the orientation told us it only snowed like once in 30 years. haha. Have to be real lucky to see snow i guess. Sacramento's the capital of California and is the first time i see tall buildings since i arrived in USA. Oh! There are malls here. Something Davis don't have haha.
The Capitol. Is Arnold working inside?



Dr Sun Yat Sen memorial. eh no. I didn't go Taiwan. This was in Chinatown of Sacramento. Anyway their chinatown is pathetic. It's made up of just 2 buildings. And it's not even solely Chinese. It's shared with Thais and Viets. Really sad and pathetic place. An insult to Chinese.


Finally we had a group photo after several tries with the timer.

VERY sinful.....

haha GOVENATOR!!!
