I'm flying tomorrow!! Yay1! Free then come see me off la haha. In case you'll miss me for only 2 weeks. ... 2 weeks only? =( It's always the waiting part that is long :( Always seem like forever =<
But anyway, I'm not complaining. I still get to go :)
First stop, San Francisco International Airport. Oh interchange in Taipei, Taiwan first. Then only to SF. Woon's uncle and aunt will pick us up to their home in San Mateo at about 7-ish pm US time. Will try to get some rest before we head to Berkeley for the graduation ceremony the next day. Hopefully we can get sufficient rest. But then only ten people can go for the ceremony. If extra have to pay or cannot go in, I also dunno la. Man, I don't know so many things. There were a lot of time his parents ask me about his studies, how is he doing, when's the ceremony and all, I'd say I have no idea. Because I really don't :(
Anyway, after Sunday, we'll drive down to LA and we'll visit Disneyland! Yay1 yay2. But then la this Heng Woon went and told me Disneyland is for kids. Disneyworld is more 'mature', as in not so childish la. Dunno la. I think we'll be going to Disneyland since, so many of his cousins are going, and the name Disneyland is more widely known that Disneyworld. I think the parents would look for the sign that says Disneyland also la. DK,DC. I just wanna get on those high high roller coasters. Hopefully, I can get to ride on lots of crazy coasters and other crazy rides.
Will be in LA for one week before we go back to San Mateo. Then, to Lake Taho, the only place in California that snows, at least it is so according to Prof. Woon. But yeah, it snows there. But it's summer now, so I'm not expecting a lot of it. Oh, sad1 cry1.
Will be there for another week or lesser cos I told the mom I wanted to go visit San Fran. I think Woon would like it too :P They have all been there. According to them, there isn't much to do. I still wanna see the Golden Gate Bridge. My bro got to get onto Brooklyn Bridge :( How unfair. I wanna go see the submarine, the sea lions (altho I've seen them in the zoo but not in the public :P)at fisherman's wharf, I wanna ride the cable car, and I wanna have a platter of shell fish! Haha, I'm so gonna make you bhanders jealous :P Cheah told me lobsters there are cheap. *crosses fingers* Yay1!
P/S: This is an overdue post. Was supposed to post this on Friday :P
US time: Sunday, 21st May
Somebody's birthday but I don't remember whose. Anyway, I've safely reached San Francisco through Taiwan. I'm now in the uncle's place in dunno where. Went to UC Berkeley today for the graduation ceremony. Everyone felt so proud :P The people were crazy. The ceremony was formal but casual. Unlike the convos back in M'sia. So formal, then got titles titles of the people there, the datuks and what nots, then cannot shout and scream also (I think la). Over here whenever somebody's name is called, their friends will scream and whoa like mad. The certificate ceremony came last, so the family members joined in the fun when their child's name was being called; including us. Haha. I knew the parents won't scream. Thought I would be the only one since the children weren't as excited as us and decided to sleep during the convo. But the uncles cheered as well :)
Dunno why the feeling I had seeing Heng Woon again was different from the previous times. Maybe this time I talked to him on the phone prior to meeting him. Other times, I'll either meet him at the airport or at his home without having contact with each other for the last 24 hours. But I'm not complaining. Am happy to see him :)
Ooh..I got an Issey Miyake perfume!! OMG OMG OMG!! I can't believe it!! He was actually listening to me talking when I told him over the phone!! (Yes, he normally doesn't) Well, this time, I didn't hint. (I've lerant not to) I just told him that I wanted this perfume I saw, the name and which one. Hah. :P Lesson learnt: Men don't take hints.
And then when he gave the gift to me, it was so nice! Blue recycled paper with clouds (y'know those texturised ones?), with a read dunno what flower on top but it's really nice!! For the first time, he actually shopped for something nice for me and shopped for nice materials for presentation. Hehe, okla, maybe second time, if the first Christmas present should be considered as the first :P He opened the gift I gave him first, then only I wanted to open mine. Then I saw the diamond shaped box, and I was like "OMG I know what this is!!!" Then he was like "Eiyer, no fun wan! You haven't open you know what it is already :(" Haha...omg thank you baby!!!! Oh, and this is for my very belated birthday(s).
The weather here is cold. It rained in the afternoon, making it colder. It's just chilly actually, even when the wind blows. But I still need a jacket. Indoors are so much warmer. When the sun is out, I hope it's really nice. Haven't really experienced the sun here yet. Maybe there was sun earlier in the morning. Oh yea there was. But I was in the house, sitting next to the window. It was comfortable tho. Now I know why they say morning sun is healthy. I never find it healthy back in M'sia :P
I can go on about so many things. A picture says a thousand words.I'll upload them as soon as I upload them into Woon's lappy. I didn't take much tho. Was busy holding the flowers today so I just let the uncle do the job. He has got a nicer camera anyway.
Woon's taking me to walk around Berkeley tomorrow. The women will go shopping and the kids will stay at home. I still get to shop :P In Berkeley tho :( Hopefully there are nice things there :) Would sure wanna go to the places I saw on tv and on google earth. But the point is, he's going to show me around the place that he has been staying and the usual places he goes to get food and to study, for the past 2 years. =)
And then LA on Tuesday. Disneyland in Anaheim :)
