Pictures from Vegas

Singapore - Narita. Excited Excited Excited but damn tired cos we did not sleep abit the night before. The flight was at 5am so we needa reach airport by 3am anyway so there is no way we could have gotten proper sleep.

Finally reach Narita... I want get my Shiroi Koibito.




My lunch. Mr G had chicken teriyaki and i had beef. Its a funny hamburger beef patty with mash potato. I only ate a bite of the beef.

Finally reached Portland. Our 1st meal in USA: Wendy's. I wasnt really hungry after eating all the crap on the plane so i opted for a salad.


Finally reached Las Vegas...




People actually played slots in airport and WON!!! wow...

Next, we cab to our hotel: Caesars palace where we will be staying for the 1st 3 nights. Did a 20 dollars trick and get upgraded to Palace Tower with a view of the strip, a jacuzzi and a room which is twice the area of what we paid for.






real slow loading the picture. going for breakfast now. Skipped dinner last night to sleep. update ltr.

4th day in Vegas

Vegas @ 26th June 2009, 1441hrs

This is the 1st day i have access to internet since i reached Vegas. Stayed at Caesars palace previously and they charged 15USD for 24 hours of internet. Since we are seldom in the room, Mr G thought it was redundant to apply for that. Just moved to Venetian this morning after a WHOLE night of gambling. We managed to stay alive after the whole night cos we slept 13 hours the previous night!!!!6am to 7pm!!! Wasted a precious day of sightseeing!! Already our 4th day here but there are still so much things we have yet to do!!!!Its been gambling and gambling and gambling... i want to win more so that i can do more free shopping!!! haha.....

Took abit of pictures...Shall be postng them tonight when Mr G is pokering and i can sneak up to the room to blog.

PS: the venetian room is freaking big!!!! i reckon its about the same size of a Singapore 3-room HDB flat!!!!

Time for nap....

at airport now!!!

I am at the airport now. Boarding the plane soon.

24 years 1 day old and falling sick

Im 24 years + 1 day old!!!! Had a wonderful birthday yesterday. Earlier in the day was spent in a sucky environment( 85% of the time when im at work, i feel sucky. 10% of the happier days occur when THE ALIEN is on leave and the other 5% is when THE ALIEN is not feeling emotional...lol). But Mr G had a well planned day for me. ( Thanks for the effort). Had a surprise bouquet sent to my office. 24 blue roses with sweet williams.

Mr G had wanted to get me another piglet to add to the piglet family but the piglet next in size is ugly!!! Had a spongebob-shaped face!!!

Dinner was at a supposedly Mongolian Grill at Clarke Quay. Nice ambience but that probably all the good comment I have for this place. As Mr G puts it, " come here if you want unlimited diy mix-n-match fried bee hoon for S$40".



Char Kway Teow & Char Bee Hoon!!!!!



After dinner, we went Singapore Flyer..my 1st time there. Was supposed to go there last Xmas eve. As we went almost close to their closing time, we had the luxury of having the whole capsule to ourselves!!!! More pictures to be posted.

Been feeling sick these fews days, not offically sick though, just FEELING SICK. I dunch want to fall sick next week lest they dont let me board the plane!!!!

New Haircut

Got a haircut today. Been at least half a year since i got my last hair cut. Tried Kim Robinson. Nice place, Nice service, 'Nicer' price tag.


My 24th birthday tml. Old liao. My first birthday after graduation and working full time. AND I AM WORKING ON MY BIRTHDAY. Hopes nothing goes wrong and spoil my day.

My hermit crab died!!!

The title explains itself. Sad.
Just changed sand for them yesterday, added a new friend.
And now, 1 died. The new friend is missing.

Countdown

In two weeks time, I'll be on my way from Narita Airport to Portland International Airport before taking a domestic flight to Vegas. HOLIDAYS!!!!

In 5 days time, i will be dragging my feet to office ( once again!!). I will lose my freedom ( again!!!). Sighz.

My Pets

Just added one more small hermit crab to my existing two.


and a change of environment.



fyi, the brown crab is HERBS, the green one is DJ ( stands for Diglet Jr cos he was bought to replace an older crab who apparently likes to dig the sand).
The miniature one has yet to have a name...suggestions???

Ho Chi Minh - 1st Day

As we are taking the afternoon flight, i managed to wake slightly later than the usual time i need to wake up for work. Then lazily took 858 to airport. Wasnt a very short journey but i think i slept on the way there. I suppose thats the way i manage all the long bus rides. SLEEP!!!! but make sure you do not oversleep, that is.

This is the 2nd time im going overseas with the gal throughout our 11 yrs friendship... was damn looking forward to it

As u guessed it, when two crazy gals meet up, they do crazy things...

We tried out the BIG FOOT available for trial , disregarding the hygiene factor!!!! so many people have probably put their FOOT inside before!!!!! and Cecilia cant seem to leave the Disney Kids corner!!! She would have missed the plane if i had not pulled her away.


The immigration card. They did not keep it!! I still have it with me now

Tan Son Nhat airport!!!!! We finally reached HCM!!! a much anticipated trip, after i nearly had to beg to obtain my leave. sighz

After checking into the hotel, we WALKed to ben thanh market. and frantically started looking for food! I had not eaten anything since the morning!! Since we had little dong with us, we had to find $ changer. But did not see any in sight. In our desperation, we had to ask the caucasians there. Understand that they are probably not locals but we had no choice!! The Viets probably speak little or no English and we speak no Viet!!!! Finally we got the answer... the $ changer is their gold shop!!!! Amazing but we made a dash for the nearest gold shop for the dong to buy the food we need desperately!
But even after obtaining our dong, we did not know what to eat for all menus are in Viet!! Finally spot a stall with English menu. Randomly ordered something off the menu. It a weird bowl filled with things that look like salad. Its cold and you have to add some sauce before u mixed up the whole bowl. But amazingly, it tastes good. refreshing. But even till know, i duno what this dish is called. Probably someone who happens to see this can enlighten me?
Ben Thanh offers nothing that caught our attention. Prices were steep too. And since we reach there about 4pm and the market closed at 5pm, we only managed to briefly explored the market before adjourning to the night market outside. Once we step outside, it was BUYING and bargaining non-stop. They offer bags from as low as S$5 but mostly cost S$10.
After all the shopping, its time to look for our dinner. The roadside stall offers appetitising snacks and decided that these shall be our dinner. Theres a stall that sells fried stuff like fishball, hotdogs, tofu, quails egg etc. dipped into a black sauce they provide. Yummy Yummy.

Another part of our dinner consist of some fried corn. they fry the corn with oil and other stuff and asked if we wanted egg. Egg with corn just doesnt sound right so we had it without the corn.


The picture speaks for itself. Scary. Amazingly, we tested about a quarter of the egg till we reach some spongy part which we had no idea what it is. Other than the unbearable spongy part, the egg white part takes like salted egg.

Our 战利品for Day 1. As like in Secondary school, we bought 2 tops in same design but different colours to be worn on the 2nd day.
