hello. im baaack!

i reached home around 2am yesterday.
and, without sleeping, i went to school.
everybody else told me i should have not came because i already got my report book earlier than them.

anyway, i managed to get promoted. and so did most of my friends.
for those who didnt, at least, you'll have an extra year for Os.

im updating now, because i dont know when else i'll be online since im going out tomorrow with haney and, monday with kamil and tuesday onwards, bridging lessons.

for my overseas trip, i enjoyed myself there very much. i only told a few of my closest friends.

anyway, i was gone from 18th to 29th. went to Los Angeles first, for 4 nights, and then Las Vegas, for 5 nights, with my sister and her boyfriend.

haha, anyway, if youre not interested on what i did there, you can stop reading after this sentence.

---------------------------------------------------------

on the first day at L.A, went to the Wax Musuem. a lot of people told me, it was boring and not worth going to.
but, it was the closest thing i get to see since i didnt get to see the real celebrities. LOL.

after that, ate the worst pizza we had ever eaten at some pizza shop nearby.
walked around the hollywood walk of fame.

saw many impersonators there like, Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, The Joker, the weird looking guy from Saw IV.
and, also saw a lot of cartoon characters like spiderman/barney/dora/mr incredible.

for the second day,
went to the Guiness World Musuem and Ripleys Believe It Or Not.
after that, went to Kodak Theater, to window shop.

again, saw more impersonators and cartoon characters.

when we were there, there was a premiere of a movie, which i think was Astro Boy. and there were loaaaaads of paparazzis. haha k jakon.

since we had no plans for the rest of the day, took a cab to L.A ink. but didnt get to see Kat Von D since she wasnt around. and there was a shooting going on while we were there.

after that, went candy shopping at Jon's Marketplace(?)
there were so many Halloween costumes and decorations.
and its Halloween today :)

third day's my favourite.
took a bus to Santa Monica beach. long, and boring jouney.
it was really cold. so, we decided not to swim. but the waves and the view were amazing.

i finally got over my craving of corndogs there :D

played the games there.
we wanted to win the big bear for my sister since it was her birthday. so we kept playing that game for three times but we just sucked at it.

we won her a smaller bear instead. but, at another game. she won it herself actually, since we lost to her =/

then, took a cab to a premium outlet. the fare was over $300. but the driver was kind enough to give us a 50% discount. he even waited for us to finish our shopping spree.

we only had an hour to shop. and, there were over 50 shops there.

i went crazy over the shoes, my sister went crazy over the bags and her boyfriend went crazy over shades.

the taxi driver got to know that it was my sister's birthday when he was driving back to our hotel. he stopped by at a shop, and came out with a bouquet of flowers. aww.

but my sister didnt like flowers -__-

fourth day
went to the universal studios. we were suppose to go there on the second and third day, but all three of us woke up more than three hours late on both days.

ate at Bubba Gump and alcohol is not my type of drinks.

after that, started to play the rides. there were not much of rollercoaster rides, but there were more of 4D experience.

also, we took the tour ride. and they showed us the houses of Desperate Housewives, Tokyo Drift cars, the set of How The Grinch Stole Christmas and many more.

and, we drove pass the cast of Heroes, while they were shooting.

the fifth day
before going off to the airport, had our brunch at a Thai restaurant. we finally ate non western food after five days :P

after that, went to our hotel to take our lugagges and off to the airport.
it only took an hour from L.A to L.V.

margarita wine rase mcm kencing kuda! LOL

there were casinos at the airport. i wanted to play the jackpot but we didnt had any quarters.

we knew L.V was a desert and many people told us it'd be really hot there.
but, it was even colder than L.A.

the hotel we stayed in, was the tallest building there. and they had the world's highest rides. sadly, we didnt get to play the rides since it was too windy and they closed down all the rides.

sixth day
we went to the premium outlet near our hotel. there were more shops and now, we had more time to shop.

they had roxy/volcom/quiksilver/miss sixty/dolce gabanna and many more shops there.

i went a little crazy shopping there, hoho :P

we went into The Fudgery and, they had the best homemade chocolate icecream mixed with chocolate cookies. hee. but, their homemade lemonade tasted like soap =/

after shopping, went back to our hotel and rested for awhile. then, went down to the lobby, where they had the casino, and started to play blackjack/jackpot/poker :D

we won an extra $100 on the first night. but lost a few more the other remaining nights. haha.

played at the casino until 5am the next day.

seventh day
woke up in the afternoon around 6pm. we didnt know where to go, so, we decided to walk around the streets near our hotel. found the largest souvenir shop and started buying them for friends.

also, found Ross Dress For Less and went in there to shop. went in at 7pm and came out at 11pm. LOL

anyway, people who live in L.V are sick. they give out nude cards and they have nude magazines sold almost everywhere. and, also on advertisement on vehicles. and, when they buy the magazines, and took the card, they threw them all on the floor. HAHA.

after going back to our hotel, went to play at the casino again till early in the morning next day ^-^V

eighth day
went to another premium outlet and they had way more shops than the previous two.

since we bought a lot of things, we had to buy three more big bags to fit in all our stuff. LOL.

again, played at the casino when we reached the hotel :D
won a few, and then eventually we lost them. hahaha.

nineth day
went to the Fashion Show. we didnt shop as much as we did the previous days.
we only bought lots of fragrances and whatnots at bath and body works.

after that, took a cab to the fountain show. we only watched it for awhile, then we went down the streets to, Paris, New York, Planet Hollywood. and, we went into Caesar's Palace to watch the indoor rain.

my sister and her boyfriend were too cold, they bought a jacket from the souvenir store. hahahaa~

we went back to the World's Largest Souvenir Shop for last minute shopping.
then, headed back to the hotel.

it was suppose to be our last day at Vegas, but, we decided to extend another night since we had a lot of sleepless nights because we were at the Casino.

tenth day
we checked out of our room, because we booked another better room for the last night there. they had a nicer view, two televisions and a jacuzzi :D:D

we had our long sleep the day before, so we spent our last day in the casino. we finally won back most of the money we lost :D

and also, we finally went up to their 109th floor.
they had a killer view and, that day was the coldest among all other days.

after that, played at the casino again. and won more money, and eventually lost them again.

around 3am, went back to our room and packed our luggages to get ready to go home.

and at five, we took a limosine to the airport. jaaaaaakon.
