Christmas!
merry Christmas everyone!
i love Christmas :) the church service was really nice today, the chinese interpreter was a little __ but it was still good - it was about what Christmas was really about, which incidentally is about being forgiven by God and friendship with him..
wish we had the house decorated and a tree up though, but maybe hopefully next year in a bigger house..
went to hougang mall for lunch after church and jie got a sim card and a free phone which is now mine coz she's already got a good one so it's all very happy and cheery :D

peaknuckle war
well now,
back in la again which is great coz the hotel we're in is real nice and it as wireless internet which i set up all by me onesy hehe so yep :)
today we drove and drove and drove and drove from the grand canyon which was a really long way away so we slept and watched greys! yay!! and that was very nice coz we watched the 2 bomb episodes which are my favourite ones :D and they also have breathe so it's extra nice. also as well (brief interjection by her favourite sister.. "aren't you going to mention the fact that we didn't get superb photos?")
because of the mcdreamy part which was very very very nice and that completely erased the horrible fact that we did not in fact get superb photos.
"It was a Thursday morning... you were wearing that ratty little Darmouth t-shirt you look so good in.. the one with the hole in the back of the neck. You just had a shower.. and you smelled like some sort of flower or something. I was running late for surgery and you said you'd see me later.. then you leaned into me.. put your hands on my chest, and kissed me. It was soft, quick.. kinda like a habit. Like we'd do it everyday for the rest of our lives.."
(and you say I don't love you! Hmpf!!)
well i could have done that anyway. hmph to you too.
ANYWAY we didnt get any gorgeous photos from the grand canyon because i didnt charge the camera becuase i thought it briefly ran out of battery BUT was revived again coz i warmed it up so i didnt think it would run out of batt coz it was charged the day before happy now? hmph. yes. so i got yelled at before nine o clock so dad got his fix. hums.
yes well it was a good day anyway because the greys was nice.
siiiiigh.
BreatheAnna Nalick2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season"
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist,
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year."
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.

root beer float
haven't blogged for a little long while, since i left disneyland... so yep
we drove through this really cute town and all the buildings were built dutch style and it was so adorable and the danish pastries were yum and very huge. :D yep and there was a parade of people dressed in native dutch costumes singing Christmas carols, like proper ones with no santa claus and all that nonsense, and it was really sweet.
um, after that we went to gilroy - which is real close to sanfrancisco and had these awesome factory outlets for like quiksilver and roxy and it's way cheaper than at the real store so i got my hoodie! its realy nice and warm and cream coloured and fuzzy inside and i cant think of where i'm going to wear it in singapore.
well that was that day, then we went to san fran the next day and that was realy nice coz we went to the the golden gate bridge and took lots and lots of photos which all turned out really really well and sf is such a funky place to live! it's seems waaaay better than los angeles city of angels my foot.
but unfortunately we didnt get out so i couldnt find any hedgehogs! or even pocupines that look like hedgehogs so that was really sad and miffedy.
had a realy awesome lunch at fiserman's wharf and the sky was such a gorgeous blue and the salmon was yum too. and we saw the alkatraz prison all alone on it's island surrounded be freezing water which is a pretty good idea and so far no one has escaped from there except one but they never found his body.. yea..
well that was sunday..
yesterday we went to vegas baby! that was pretty funky too the lights were totally cool! bright and shiny ya ;) before that we got stuck in a really bad traffic jam out on the freeway so we listened to one episode of greys and watched one so i got my mcdreamy fix and that was good :) breathe by anna nalick and edge of the ocean by ivy are officially my two fav songs from the greys soundtrack :)
once again, i love greys and everyone should watch it when they can. hearts to mcdreamy!
and today we went to the hoover dam and it was absolutely freeeezing! the temperature was close to 0 degrees and even my awesomely warm roxy hoodie wasnt enough.
but then we drove more and more and the sun came out and it was beautiful up in the mountains then it started snowing. yea. SNOWING!! and that was so gorgeous and beautiful and totally breath taking. unbelievable. totally. like wOW. so we got out and stomped around in the snow at -5 degrees and nearly got my hands frozen to the camera but it was all worth it coz it was so beautiful.
makes you wonder how the big bang theory could ever exist because bits of stuff slamming together jsut cannot make such beautiful things.
but the grand canyon was also totaly wonderful! it's undescribly beautiful. awesome. absolutely awesome. it was even more picturesque than anything else i've even seen. simply gorgeous.
i loved today. and root beer floats made it all that much better too :D

hollywood
went to the hollywood walk of fame today, it was soo awesome! and also went into this really funky hollywood museum with all this old holywood stuff like marilyn monroe's dresses and signatures from gone with the wind and everything!
of course we went to johnny depp's star and took photos before my camera battery died but it was really cool :)
los angeles is relly not as glam as it appears. it's really quite disappointing. yup.
going to disneyland tomorrow! been waiting for ages :) hope it's not so nippy as today, it's truly winter weather minus the snow but it's real like auckland weather and i really want to buy a nice warm hoodie. yum yum yup.

in los angeles
yep,
just finished flying 12 hours with a one hour stop in taipei, we crossed the international date line so when we reached it was only half an hour after we took off.
missing my grey's fix today, but i did watch 3 episodes before i left so it should tide me over ;)
had instant noodles for dinner but it tasted soo good after not eating for about 10 hours.. plane food smells yukky.
i dont think it's sunken in that i;m in america right now, in a hotel just next to disneyland
last night i dreamt i went back to newzealand instead of america and i distinctly remember being estactic and practically skipping down richard avenue and i didn't think it was a dream. and i woke up and felt terribly cheated.
i dont want to want to go back to nz, i just want to be happy here.
i miss mcdreamy. siiiiiigh
