The monthly sum-up

Ok GUILTY.

I haven't touched this travel log for almost a month.
But with...

1. New York Trip
2. Aurora Premium outlet trip
3. Ripcord escapade + beach + Soak City
4. Nightlife
5. 4th of July USA Independence Day
6. Niagara Falls trip
7. Peter's one-day drive-in-from-California visit to CP

How to find any time to do all the typing???

HMM. So how do i do it?? I have started uploading the pictures on Facebook...so go see them first and then i will put in the entries when i can.

Life at Cedar Point is limited...to the last 10 days. And right after, our travelling plans are to head towards Yellowstone, Wyoming, then Las Vegas, then San Francisco, then Los Angeles and finally Taiwan before touching down in Singapore soil on August 14th.

Right now, everyone is sick of working, but even more so, sick of the idea of living on paychecks. HAHAHAHA. That really sucks...I can now imagine how Penny - the female character in Big Bang Theory - feels.

Okokok, i have to go to work already. Update soon i promise!

Cedar Point & Ohio Bike Week Escapades

DAY-OFF with HAN :)

We made crazy plans...we wanted to go to the mall in the morning, then skip off to SOAK CITY (some sister water theme park of cedar point), and then run around Cedar point in the late evening before heading to the local pub for drinks and crazy mingling at night. BUT FAIL. HAHAHA...still it was pretty fun!

We ate chicken for lunch then shopped all the way til evening since it was raining. And then we took the rides...like FINALLY. I took the Blue Streak and the Demon Drop and the Flying Carousel and i nearly freaked out for the first 2 rides even though they are baby rides compared to the major rides attractions in the park. HAHA i think its because we self-high also la....every time i scream and close my eyes, Han will laugh until she cannot scream and then that's when the drops get SCARY. Stupid right? HAHAHAHA. Then we walked around and grabbed food for free from the people we came to know on the trip. Chilli cheese fries and Funnel cakes...super shiok!

So the photos are here on FLICKR (which sucks because of its monthly 100mb limit on uploads) - http://www.flickr.com/photos/18927396@N00/sets/72157620069866895/

That's the Raptor!


We have leather wristbands!


OHIO BIKE WEEK

This annual Harley event was pretty damn fine! And the best part was that we didnt even plan to go for it. I got off work early that evening and bumped into CW and CP...and so we decided to check if it was still on. Apparently the parade was over, but since we were so freakin' bored, we decided to whack la...and search for dinner. So the party grew to include AK and DY, and the 5 of us cabbed down.

It is unlike anything we have ever seen! A funfair so large and so bustling, it was damn exciting! There was weird funfair food like funnel cakes and beer batter fish and steak salad and apple dumplings etcetc and of course BEER. We each bought an item to share, so that's like 5 AWESOME GOODY FOOD! Damn shiok i tell you...i had to become a MAN to ensure that i was not losing out on my share of food! HAHAHA.

There weren't only huge bikes, but rather all the weird Harley-branded bikes that came in 10000000 colours and 100000000000000000000 designs...some of them left me with "Seriously, you would ride this???!!" But the coolest was the open air Rock & Roll Concert that the Earthquakers were entertaining the crowd with. Too bad they played few songs we knew...but "Summer of 69" and "Play that Funky Music" and "Sweet Child of Mine" were enough to bring us to a high! HAHAHA. After some beer and stupid cam-whoring, we finally cabbed back to reality...

More photos under the same FLICKR link above :):):)

ROCK & ROLL!

Beer batter fish & chips that we soaked in vinegar and salt

SHAMELESS FUN...or absurdity.

SO i thought i should stop being lazy and get some entries right on this page, before i lose my 3 months worth of experience.

BUT i am really tired. so make do with the pictures ok?


And that's just the EXCITING prelude to the others that i uploaded on Flickr (Had to pick a few since the account limits me so pathetically).

SO SEE HERE! http://www.flickr.com/photos/18927396@N00/sets/72157619665863432/

So what is interesting? How about me wanting to buy a BBQ pit (like a pretty pro one with the cover and stand etc) for only 15USD. HAHA i was thinking of bringing it back to Singapore too...ooh, more BBQs in hall at last CCTAN!!! But the BBQ will have to be after the New York trip since we have too much activities lined up!

Or how about DY buying a fishing rod with the weights and hooks etc for 25 USD...BUT we have yet to find a day to use it and hahahaha, we have not exactly found a suitable spot around Lake Erie that allows comfortable fishing without risking us falling into the lake (and the fish we caught laughing at us in their fishy manners), or us having to endure the prickiness of the TALL grass.

Or those stupid MAYFLIES and Dandalions that take turns to torture us by floating around the ENTIRE park and sticking to us relentlessly...Seriously, those bugs are stupid. They just land on everything and refuse to leave even after warning...prompting me to term them as SUCIDAL BUGS. Seriously...there were those that flew right into the hot fryer holding litres of hot lard turned into grease, and others that nose-dive into hot crispy fries (hoping perhaps for a good last meal before they death in 24 hours? *The lifespan of those bugs are 24 hours and their occupation would include mating IMMEDIATELY and haressing people)

Or me and my pretty good description of that trash guy who turned out to be the thief who stole Han's wallet and hp; they found her wallet in his room. DAMN, see that detective in me people! HAHAHA...but unfortuntately the Ak's and my other colleague's bag were not found. :S

Or that WE ARE FINALLY TRAVELLING not just working. We are going to NEW YORK CITY babyyyy! On Mon night we will be taking a night coach for about 12 hours, and then we become tourists! No more "how can i help you?" or "sorry about the wait but the burger will take another 10 #$%^&*(*&^%$ minutes" etcetc. Its time for us to be the bitches. HAHAHA...as if i will ever be one. I am TOO NICE. HAHAHA.

OH YA. I really dont think my blog really show much of USA or the place we are working at...so go see Congwei's POWER TRAVEL BLOG... http://ohayousa.blogspot.com/ Really super power and 100% effort.

And for fun fact - I found my summer-fling candidate...i think! HAHAHA. We went to sit rollercoasters and the Cadillac car ride together on our one hour break today. HAHAHA. Shoot you guys more information next time la...but for now. OH SO CUTE! haha!

Next entry shall be about my third day-off with Han. It will be pictures galore :):)
Take care people, don't miss me too much!

STOP STEALING LOSER.

My second encounter with losing my stuff. I think this deserves a post on its own.
Ok maybe i should start right from the start.

I had just gotten a 30min break after being screamed, yelled, exclaimed at - ok those terms are far too polite. I was hurled vulgarities, questioned rudely about discrimination, certified 'stupid' and 'liar' within the first 2 minutes, and shot in the head for supposedly pricing the food items sold. WOW since when did i become the CFO or the CEO or the relevant authority? Thank you for your highest regard of me though you have idiotly shown how dumb you are to not know the irony between the significance of those positions held and the term 'stupid'. Like @#$%^&*()*&^%$#@#$%. I think i pissed them off by showing nonchalence and giving them the 'i don't give a #$%^&* about you and your stupid inferiority complex'.

Anyway, back to the main story. I went to grab my bag from the locker, but i did not lock it since...no one else does that too! And guess what? IT WAS GONE. Like seriously...i was searching through every- and any- thing. Seriously i couldn't believe it. And then i went to emo at one corner and after 10minutes i decided to make a report. But i wanted to make a last check, and WALAAA...i saw my bag on the top shelf, dirtied and ruffled through. Nothing was taken though...BECAUSE I had so luckily forgotten to bring my wallet to work that day. THANK GOD man...But then i had this ominous feeling so i opened Ak's locker and damn his stuff were GONE. Felt kind of bad because if i had locked his stuff straight away, nothing would have been taken in those mere 10 min..but ok i was all jitters and frantic...what to do?

So our supervisors called the police and we made reports etcetc. I told them about this trash guy who was cross-eyed, him being the only person i saw in the room and talked to...plus he had like 3 garbage bags on the ground. BUT i didnt dare to ask to check those bags...DAMN.

PRETTY SCREWED UP DAY HUH. oh wells...THIEVES SHOULD JUST DIE.
But on a sidenote...i think God was really gracious towards me :):) I'd rather be yelled at 10 times more than have anything stolen from me..

Drink to the time of our lives.

SO we had our very first drinking games session yesterday! Our first games session was a very very sane game of Cranium, which was still unbelievably fun, one week ago.

We played "In-between", "Circle of Death" and "7-up", the same dumb but hilariously funny games as usual. And we whacked Budweiser and red wine, and for the King's cup we had popcorn and Kettle chips and chilli sauce added in too. POOR TONG was unlucky enough to get to drink that deadly shittt concoction. HAHA. Dont know why but it was damn funny yesterday and we got freaking high and drunk. I passed out halfway and slept for about an hour before waking up again. ALL of them were assholes la, kept sabo-ing me.

So much for a supposed night with the hot Columbians at the bar...our co-workers actually informed us of a 'party' at the local bar, which i was really really really tempted to go to! DARNIT, if you see this guy who works at my food service outlet, you will understand. He is pretty cute and has those pretty dark eyes...HAHA sounds perfect right? But sometimes when they talk, their lack of eloquence could ruin everything. HEH. Anyhow, i wasn't going to go there alone, and i was too lazy anyway. In-room drinking is so convenient. HEHEHE...

BUT REALLY...The crux of this, really is, we FINALLY drank and got a little wild in USA! Its like everyone expects people in US to go crazy drunk and high and have exciting night lives, but all we have shown is the workaholic nature in us. BLEAHZ.

Too bad we were to preoccupied with the laughter and drinking and sabo-ing to take any pictures. :P

OH today is my day-off again. But they doesn't seem to be any plans...Dy, Ak and I wanted to make a trip down to Cleveland in a rented car or head down to Put-in Bay for some indulgence in nature or explore the new mall half an hour again...BUT i think our drinking the night before kind of scraped these plans naturally. DARNIT.

I think i might head down to the mall or something later and probably treat myself to a good meal since my last awesome one at the Chinese buffet. I really wanted to explore Downtown Shoreline on my own but i missed the last bus there in the morning. SIANS.. if not it would have been a picture-worthy entry on this lackluster travel blog...I am starting to wonder if i bought my camera for nothing.

On work...it was looking good this week. The internationals working with us are soooo fun! We now have this secret trade service going on where we exchange food that we cook amongst the 3 rooms, and we all assist in sneaking food out for a free meal! HAHAHA, it is not really the food that rocks, but the thrill and fun and cost-savings. Work is getting more fun with these new people...i really hope nothing changes when new people join us.

That's about all i can remember people...a lot of good stories and weird happenings around here, but i can't really put them in words, so...just be contended with what i have written here! :P:P

My parents are back from Turkey (my brother still floating around somewhere in Europe) and they said they bought leather jackets for my whole family of 5 which costs them about 2000USD. COOL SIAH. I have been looking for a nice bomber jacket that isn't too flashy, but i have yet to find one. I hope they are really really nice...though i have to add in that my sisters' and father's tastes are dubious. *cross fingers*

Ok just had lunch with Jovita at Subway and she's off to work...shall head back to my room to check out plans for later...SEE YOU PEOPLE! :)

For now, you SERVE ME.

8am shifts are killing me. But heck those...let's talk freedom, play and day-offs!

First DAY OFF! We headed to the theme park to play the rides but the rain screwed our plans, and so we went to the mall instead. Han and Dy had to work, and Ak and Tong had their own plans, so the 4 of us goofed around Walmart wow-ing at the food, the prices and the cute-ness of everything. DAMN, did you know that a small tub of Ben n Jerry's ice cream only costs USD 1??!!! Confirm whack one lor..

Fooling around in the theme park

Love is in the air.

The marching band

We took BUMPER CARS


My special Chinese buffet meat platter
4 of us had the best chinese buffet EVER (in USA) for only USD 6.55. See my plate of salad - so healthy cannot take it! LOL

SHOPPING with Han later. Greatest damage ever created.

My new Jessica Simpson wristlet/purse
LIP BALM AND GLOSS GALORE! CUTE SIAH.

My new aviators for 20USD

Awesome pink Liz Claiborne laptop case

Michigan Cap! from New Era :)

Random chillin' at Macs with a book, fudge nuts sundae and hot coffee

Gorgeous sunset. The sun always sets in the most amazing manner here in Sandusky; every evening is a different sunset. But can you believe it...the sun sets here at about 8.30pm!

On my darnit 8am shift tomorrow again. Hope I don't go spinning cotton candy for 5 hours and pulling Elephant ears for 4 hours like today again. Looking forward to our New York and Niagara Falls trips though :):)

Ohohoh, i got my first paycheck for the first week of work dudes! SO exciting! It is more than enough to cover the loss of my money and phone. YAY :)

OOOH, and i got my grades. AWESOME...I improved and got my B-ssssss :):):) And maybe next sem i can manage an A for my final module grade! HAHAHA.

Happy...ok yeah, but I miss you people in Singapore. Lovessss.

SHOPPING is therapy.

This week is awesome. Talk about hating it here, we finally decided that the worst was probably OVER. And...we are probably loving it even more. HAHAHA...flickle-mindedness.
Obviously there's a reason for it...I haven't been asked to wash the dishes since Monday, I had yesterday afternoon off from 1pm, and today i am scheduled to work only from 12noon to 4pm, AND i am having the entire tomorrow off!

Headed down to Meijers and Sandusky Mall with Ak yesterday since everyone else was still hard at work. Han and Dy came over to our stall and were assigned to take over our duties of cashiering and frying...IT WAS DAMN COOL when the whole pizza room was suddenly overwhelmed with Singaporeans...there was this other Singaporean who came to help them along too. Felt sooooo homely...Damn it makes me want to travel those 33 hours back to Singapore again.

I tell you...the snack section in those hypermarkets are CRAZY... what with the whole array of colours and shapes and designs on those packaging. Devious gimmicks that enticed us...we nearly bought the whole shelf back. We got super stuck at their can food section...But luckily we intended to proceed to another mall...so enough was enough. 6 cans was enough to weigh us down man...

I bought a new wallet...Jessica Simpson's design, for only USD 8.15! Hurray! I almost made off with bags from Kim Rogers and Tommy Hilfiger and wallets from Fossil...but i stopped myself before the irreparable damage was done. You know those situations in which the price and the brands are darnit attractive, but truly inside, you don't exactly like it THAT much...yeah, this was probably one of those. Got a fossil SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT bag...and subsequently got condemned by tong and han. I admit, it was a stupid buy for USD 10 (Seriously, cannot trust guy's taste sometimes...LOL).

Oh oh oh...speaking of guy's taste, we went into Aeropostale, where a week ago, tong han and I bought bikinis from, and he had to guess which one each of us bought. His choices were totally different from those we bought!!! That explains everything right?

Ok I have to go to work soon already...Here are some pictures!

My handphone loves America...
it doesn't wish to go back to Singapore.

I hate my job. Seriously... getting so sick of it - the standing, the grease, the longggg hours, the food... and I don't think i am the only one. Yesterday it was the worst day of my freakin American life. I lost my Samsung F480 phone and room key and about USD 40 early in the morning. I suck. And what's worst...I was left alone with the dishes from 8pm to 10pm until Ak returned from cash control and helped me along until 11.30pm. I was MISERABLE. Hahaha...i felt like a sick little kitten, helpless and pathetic (that's partially why i hate cats anyway). I swear...the trays piled up higher than my height and they were greasier than any oily dish you have probably complained of.

Like WHY ME? No one bothers to help (except for one girl but she left a while later anyhow) and there isn't a organized roster to allocate duties and make sure that all is fair and square! I feel so freakin' discriminated against and exploited beyond tolerance. ARGH.

But...thats not only it. Han lost her wallet containing her phone and money and cards and key too! On the exact same day. And while i probably dropped mine somewhere, hers was taken from her bag while at work! DAMN those poor useless idiots! You should have seen us both lamenting and swearing and emo-ing and cursing yesterday night. HAHAHAHA.

Ok I won't complain. At least I see the dark side of life overseas if it weren't just holidays and hotel stays. I think i feel for those Blangadeshi workers in Singapore already...HEHEHE. Yesterday wasn't that bad i guess because the park was really pretty at night when we walked out and Ak stole pizza (though rather unsuccessfully since the manager kind of saw him walking out with the plate!) and that was dinner! SHIOKKK. And about 2 nights ago, we had an Employees' Night where they opened the Maverick Rollercoaster ride for us and it was AWESOME. Though i hate sudden and steep drops...the ride was brilliant! And we had free hotdog buns and drinks :)

Today was boringggg. Was cashier along with a few others that i don't really talk to. I realize i can't understand what the blacks are saying because they speak REALLY fast and phrase them in a special way unique only to themselves. LIKE HUH? And as a result, I find myself shutting up more and more. Its tiring to keep asking "huh?", "sorry i didn't get you" or "could you repeat"... or worst just give a polite laugh because i seriously have no idea what is going on and end up having them stare into your face wondering why you laughed. Language isn't really the only barrier...culture makes a big one too.

I got off early today...at 8pm. I guess it was only because i was yelling fuck non-stop while scrambling to get the dishes done yesterday before the last bus left. HAHA either that or my supervisor decided that i deserved some break before i crumple like poorly-made Elephant ears (dough with cinammon and sugar).

OH! WE GAVE JOVITA A SUPER SURPRISE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!
Hahaha, that was really surprising considering our attitudes in the day that showed no sign that we remembered her birthday. We got a Mrs Fields huge cookie cake with writing in bright pink and blue cream on top for her...so pretty! Shall upload some pictures of it soon! And we girls bought her a Aeropostale top in white...mine is in green, tong's in red and han's in pink. PRETTY STUFF :):):)

Haven't had a chance to hit the malls again, and i dont think i want to at this moment when i just lost my stuff and when work leaves me dead tired. I think I am about to go bathe and wait for the rest to come back from work...poor kids.

And in the meantime, pray that i find my belongings ok. I cant lose 3 phones in a year! That's crazy!

Love you people,
from the new unbeatable bitch.

Hellloooooo Pang, Yvonne, Slut, Van!!!!

HAHAHA I couldn't find the doctor...what's the use of a doctor who is so well-hidden??!!!! And yesss, i saw so many cute guys...but they are ALL customers to whom I talk to for a mere 30 seconds! And more often than not, they are attached to some super hot girl. SUCKS. It sucks so bad that the employees really look crappy...or maybe it is the uniform (i try my best to be reasonable).

CW's roomie has got a pretty good looking European face but he is too darnit short and stout...though preppy suits him well. but...BLEAHZ. And i think he has got something for neatness and that is way to extreme. HAHAHA.

I would love to take more pictures man. But we aren't allowed to take pictures while in uniform...neither can we take rides or buy food from the the park. STUPID RULES! And you know what...we are only allowed to bring bags that are transparent...as in you can see EVERYTHING inside the bag...this is their preventive measure in ensuring employees do not steal anything off the park premises. STUPID. So i end up like an old maid dragging a walmart plastic bag to work everyday. HAHAHA. And i dont think i am taking my camera out given that i lost my hp in less than a week since i first reached US!

I hope my work and travel gets a lot more fun than it is right now...cant imagine how it was like in Yellowstone for you...but it sounds more fun than mine!

In the meantime, i miss you people and email me updates (only if exciting laaaaa) from Singapore!

People-watch.

Today was MUCH MUCH better. Because i was working as a cashier (FINALLY) at the Burger room...no more PIZZA room like yesterday! So the new food were...Cheeseburgers, Hamburgers, BBQ Chicken Burgers, Fries, Sloshies and POP (American way of calling soft drinks...haha so Archie Comic style). And hurrays..only 3 USD short of the accounted total cash...damn impressive for a first day cashier yooooo =)=)=)

And no dishwashing for me! Since i was involved in the counting of the cash in the register...MUAHAHA. Cashier is fun...because we met all sorts of people. I saw this gorgeous couple...seriously! The guy looked just like Clark, the main lead from Smallville, and his girlfriend looks like Laila, the female lead (grown up) in Slumdog Millonaire. HOT STUFF please...mix until the kid can probably enter into international pageants la.

Then there was this paranoid freako lady so demanded that her meat in her burger was WELL WELL WELL (too freakin well) DONE...she wanted “no pink at all”. Her request was quite puzzling, it required the attention of the supervisor who assured her that at 180 degrees, all bacteria would have been killed and while it could not be WELL WELL WELL DONE, it was definitely well done. And when i passed her a straw with my fingers touching it as minimally as i could managed, she KP-ed me! Ok...I took a tissue and handed her a straw using that...i know that’s the standard in F&B, but seriously this is an open fast food outlet in a theme park!!! PARANOID shittt.

And of course there had to be a group of the bitchiest girls alive....I can’t even be bothered to narrate their bitchiness...but sheesh, sometimes they make their stupid stereotypical perspective of Asians so darnit obvious. I am NOT some stupid, brainless Asian who can’t speak perfect English and hence landed such a job, having smuggled myself into US via a cargo ship, because i had no other alternative lest i starve to my lowly death...I am a smartass lawyer-to-be who wanted a richer experience in life, longed to experience the American culture and had the cash to splurge 1.5K on mere agency fees besides my flight fees...GET THAT RIGHT PEOPLE. (HAHAHA...not the typical humble and self-doubting me)

OH. Fun fact...2 people commented that my English was perfecttt! HAHA i guess its the relativity since they probably have this idea we are from China where English isn’t really their thing.. =)

On our way back to our dorms, we saw CONG WEI! Left us freakin high and we visited his dorm. HAHAHA he claims that the other guy in this room is a gay and was doing something weird with another guy on his bed when CW entered one night....OOOOH exciting stuff. So this evening when we visited, we were anticipating a good show...BUT boring...it was him and him alone only. Another time perhaps...

And my eye is getting worst by the minute. ARGHHH...if it gets worst tomorrow, I might just see a doctor and tell him/her that i fried my eye on the first day at work. DARNIT loser-ish. OK we are applying for our social security pass tml as a group...8AM! And now is like 1AM already...better scoot off to bed!

Love,

ME.

You never knew pain 'til today.

I broke two of my life records today.

1. I stood for the longest time in my life.

2. I washed the highest pile of dishes/huge trays in my life.

Both were very painful indeed. I stood until my legs couldn’t bend and I washed until I couldn’t bend my index finger. Well I think I fried fries and chicken fingers using the grease fryer, baked a large tray of 6 pizzas in the huge oven, squeezed cheese out of the cheese machine and used the pretzel and salt machine, all for the first time too.

It was intimidating when we first started...they freakin left me and AK to sell a whole shop of chicken fingers, fries, pizza and pretzels ALL ON OUR OWN. HAHA we weren’t even sure if we were supposed to start cooking and already there was a queue. I tell you, people in the US have loads of money for theme parks and especially food. Small baskets of food can cost USD9 and they don’t hesitate to splurge on those unworthy indulgences. I fried so many, so hurriedly, so painstakingly...that i couldn’t even bear to take a bite of them...the smell made me lose my appetite and feel nauseous. HAHAHA grease overload i swear.

So the sales were slightly slow at the start as i fumbled with the cooking and rushed to the freezer to get supplies every 15 minutes while AK loaded the baskets and figured the cash register out...BUT we did it eventually and in no time, we were like freakin rockin pros!!! Almost as if we had been doing the exact same thing for eons! But yucky things did happen, and i got spurted with super hot grease oil at my right eye. Didn’t think too much about it and i did not even wash it, but my eye started hurting BAD and tearing and ‘shitting’ a lot in the night. ARGH. Ak and I had our 15 min break but we couldn’t eat at all...the frying made us lose our appetites. Ended up stoning, KP-ing and drinking sloshies.

I subsequently worked with this girl from Maldova...a country somewhere in Eastern Europe. She’s cool...she hates American food, preferring soups and fish which are popular in her country. Think I would like the place...excited to go on a half year Europe trip sometime in my life SOON! The best thing about Work& Travel is that i get to meet these different people from the most obscure places on the planet!!

SO. It was dish washing time. Or so i volunteered to start the washing since no one else wanted to (silence is quite an indication)...and boy, i never felt so stupid. DISHES are the worst ever. Think 100000 times worst than home-dish-washing. Think trays and not plates, black sticky grease and not oil, burnt stains and not scraps. Thank god i got help from Ak and Henry (he was posted to work half day at our store later on in the day) with the dishes though Ak ran off to settle the accounts and eventually it was me, the Maldova girl and henry who finished the dishes. Couldn’t believe it when we were done. IT WAS HIGH for me okkk...hahaha. I swear it felt like it was a never-ending task.

Dinner with Han, Dy, Tong, Ak,Henry was a blur. So tired.. I just chewed some macaroni salad and gulped some much-needed yogurt down and was so thankful to get back to the dorms. 3 mouthfuls of DY’s beer stashed in the guy’s dorm was HEAVENLY. Maybe the illegality of it all coupled with the weariness made those 3 mouthfuls too darnit awesome. I need alcohol! Damn the stupid prohibition for those under 21 years old. Hope tomorrow will be better...a lot better!

Earning my keep.

Today was spent slacking. The final day before I am supposed to start work...well actually I escaped my first work stint today. I will be working at this quick food joint called the Stockade for the next 2.5mth...was assigned to work there along with Ak. Saw our supervisor and he looks pretty cool and easy going. AWESOME. The last thing i need is some crazy over-the-edge boss who is going to hunt me down for every stupid blunder i make. BUT i better not assume too soon. Tong just walked into the room from her first day at work and she looks...HAHA funny. Like a tomboy mailboy. But she was freaking shagged from making one too many pizzas and washing up the grill and pots and pans. Damn, sounds like doomsday for me tomorrow. 930AM, I am coming for you, piece of @#$%^&*()(*&^%$#.

Nah, i don’t think it will be that bad. Well except for the cleaning up part.

Anyhow, we took our uniform today. Mine is some chequered green and blue and red shirt and blue three-quarters pants. And I got myself a sweatshirt and a fleece jacket. Damn got set back by 39 USD unlike the others who only spent 19 USD...blame me and my stupid low tolerance threshold for the cold. Seriously, i keep freezing all the time, even during ‘unfreezable’ times. You know what, I think Hall spoiled me...what with all their freely available heaters. I didn’t even need heaters at home previously.

Sat a rollercoaster ride today...called the Corkscrew. Yea yea I am a scaredy-cat i admit. I freakin’ yelled even before the dip came. So unlike the cold and detached me, but i needed to warm my throat up for the much needed scream later on in the ride. That ride was a baby for the rest, but gosh I think i am gonna need much convincing before i will get onto the Power Tower and Dragster. WHAT A BABY... whatever. My heart is pretty weak i guess...people don’t feel what I feel when those sudden drops occur. My heart feels like it is stuck at the top and tearing apart from the muscles and I can’t breathe nor scream. Hate that feeling...but the idea of thrill and the gush of wind and adrenaline plus the money spent keeps me crazy over rollercoaster theme parks.

And the rest of the afternoon was spent sleeping, unintentionally forsaking the earlier plans to go back to the theme park for the rides with Han, Jovita and Ak. Can’t wait for more shopping and touring and even to start work!

Damn I miss Grey’s Anatomy and Gossip Girl and How I met my mother and ANTM already.

FLICKR LOADED!

PHOTOS overload.

Experiencing slight insomnia at 4am in the morning here in US because i was a pig and could not resist the nap i took from 9pm to 3am. Darnit.

Today was SHOPPING DAY alas. And goodness, the damage done was BAD. HAHAHA.
tops tanks shorts bikinis lingerie
and more.
BUT IT WAS SO GOOD SHOPPING IN US. Finally no more online shopping hassle :):):)

Ok...the pictures are too big. Hence i decided to upload them onto FlickR.
And here's a sneak peek and 1000000 reasons why you should see all the shots we took within 1 day.

LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM LIFE

This is like the second day of my US trip according to the calendar, but in terms of the hours, it is the 2.5 day.

Cleveland is freaking cold. By that i mean SERIOUS FREAKIN COLD. Even though it is summer. And right now at 8.30 am in the morning, it is raining on me and the rest of them AGAIN.
The place is sweet and peaceful i guess, their dorms are livable though KR definitely wins this one hands down. Thank god we didn't get the apartment...you so do not want me elaborating further on that.

So far we had a HUMONGOUS pizza that the 8 of us couldn't finish. We took crazy shots and got freaking high in a HELLO KITTY nursing room and playground in Taipei's airport. We visited Hollywood Los Angeles and paid 75 USD PER TAXI. so that equals to 150USD for the 8 of us for a half hour ride. You should have seen our faces and hear our heart beat as the meter raced on. HAHAHA. WTH laaa...we haven't even started work and it feels like daylight robbery already. And we passed by this Baseball stadium which was about to feature a homegame! DAMNIT the atmosphere is way too cool...everyone charges into the stadium wearing the jerseys of their favourite team. We would have bought the tix too, but we had to go catch a coach.

Jetlag is an ASS. Was dead out last night that i dont even remember the guys entering the room to call us for dinner or when they fetched dinner or when they carried our luggages up. THAT DEAD. HAHA. Oooooh, one thing i have to add. we couldn't bathe for 2 days...SERIOUSLY. My last bath was about 12 hours ago. But i guess it wasn't so bad because the weather kind of froze us into human popsicles (or maybe just the girls la)

OK. I think i better go wake the rest up. We have to settle administrative shittt and attend some employee training. HAHAHA, about the word 'shit'...people in US generally thinks it is a more vulgar word than fuck. So when Han exclaimed 'oh shit' when she filled out the form wrongly, the people behind the desk were like DAMN STUNNED. They were looking at each other in wide-eye amazement...HAHA. I bet they were thinking "THAT coming from a cute yong innocent looking Asian?" HAHAHA just freakin hilarious.

Probably put up the photos soon.See you blog stalkers SOON (like in 3months)!

Loveees.
