Around 7 am here in San Diego and I'm typing in darkness because the stupid table lamp doesn't work.
Didn't go to Balboa Park yesterday, but had a load of fun at Seaworld. Felt like I was thrown all the way back to 13 years ago and enjoying my first take-in of this amusement park. Went at 10am when it just opened and stayed all the way till 6 plus when it closed. Went crazy towards the end and we spent $30 playing in the arcade, winning softtoys. Winning wouldn't really be an accurate term because there was practically no one there and we were playing against ourselves so there was kinda no way for us not to win. Can't remember the last time we played in an arcade, it was ancient perhaps. So now I have an additional 6 softtoys on my bed. At least we refrained from getting the one that was bigger than the big bear on my bed. Else we would have to get an air ticker for him/her/it.
Over 700 photos in our cam already. Oh yes, the food. I have been eating so much that I got really sick of it and was queasy. Of food. What with Wynn and Bellagio buffets and 3 meals within 7 hours. Kinda sick of bread. Don't remember eating THAT much during our last trip here. I really am feeling so so fat. Really.
Since I'm kinda bored now...trace all the way back to the start :D San fran was like a rest stop, for us to recharge before starting on our trip. Most memorable thing...food. AH HA. What did I tell you. Lotsa clam chowder, lobster bisque, and yes, crabs. Basically seafood. Took a city tour in which all of us fell asleep. Whoops. The last night was nice cause four of us went to the city centre and had cheesecake (see, what did I tell you) from The Cheesecake Factory under the stars. Loved the setting around there.
Ride to Yosemite was bad in the sense that I was feeling queasy 3/4 the time ): But it really was worth it. What you see on the roads are amazing. Picturesque views, breathtaking, all of that. Had a snow field right behind our lodge and we were having a mini-snowfight there. Kinda like Salzburg all over again. Oh and then we were making lotsa bigfoot footprints (: Was freezing cold too. 4 of us ran thru the cold to make it to the restaurant. Oh but, the beef was really good. (Food, again). Couldn't bear to leave it in some ways, but oh well set off in the morning for Vegas. Enjoyed the car ride that was filled with laughter and ridiculous IQ questions.
VEGAS. Extravagant. I couldn't believe the size of Casesar's Palace. Though Trump wasn't on the strip, it worked fine for us since we didn't gamble. Loveddd the hotel rooms. Walked around and took in some of the extravagance of Vegas. Had fine dining in our hotel which was something different and refreshing (FOOD, again). Next day, buffet at Wynn was great/best(food...)..shopping at factory outlet. Wow. I was..shocked at the amount of things my family can buy in a day. On mine, there's 1 Coach bag and wristlet, a Guess wallet, Tommy shirts and hoodie, tops from some random names I haven't heard of...multiply that by about 8 and that's how much my family shopped. But the prices are way below their normal ones, so I guessed it's worth it (: Shopping sapped the energy out of us so we collapsed when we went back. Last day in Vegas, walked around in the morning. Didn't manage to catch any shows there cause they were all sold out sigh. So yes, next on the list, food again and we went to have the Bellagio buffet, which I thought was kinda overated. Wynn was better (: But yes the buffets were great and so worthwhile. 30US per pax for buffets that you can only get for about 80+ per pax in Sg. Met up with Remus at Bellagio! It was cool meeting up with friends overseas (: Bellagio fountains were wow. Loved the fountains.
And then yes it was time to leave and I really didn't wna leave Trump. So many other places in Vegas that we haven't exlored. Oh well. Wind during the ride was atrocious. Dad almost lost control of the car. And because Nevada is a desert, there wasn't really any green along the way. But the mountains were beautiful. Finally reached San Diego, which was actually ytd. And it was also when we really missed Trump. HAHA. We had to take in the city in the dark because it turns dark at about 5 plus. Couldn't really get to see the city. Then it was Seaworld ytd. That was also where our 3 meals in 7 hours took place. and Tadah, off to LA later. AND not to forget, stopping at another factory outlet on the way :D
Alright, time to wake people up. It's XMAS EVE here! If I'm not wrong, it should be near to XMAS in Singapore now (: And I kinda miss the sleepover that we have. (huiying dnt feel lonely!)
MERRY XMAS PEOPLE! (:
