Yeah Baby!

So Holland got kicked out and van Bommel got molested (see cosiety for more details). This is just so depressing. Didn't expect them to do that well either.

Today I got to watch this really good movie, Patch Adams. I think it was some what related to my SV trip. Nvm that. However, I really learned a lot today afternoon and i think it was worthwhile.

The start to the term has been really great. As in, nothing especially bad has happened. Everything has gone on well. Just started on a lot of new topics. Finally starting to feel the heat of the end of years. The Parent Teacher Meet isn't helping much either. I just got my MT project back and have to get it done again cos my teacher said it was too short. And this makes up about 30% of my grade. so there.

I failed my 3rd Lang mid years as well. COnsidering the fact I studied for the exam on the taxi ride there, it isnt too bad.

Ah. I just feel like sleeping. All the time. Just so tired; so much of work. Been playing soccer the past 2 days and my hmastring hurts from lunging during the games. I just want to rest tomorrow so that I'll be alright for inv!gorate.

I just our class can do well for invigorate. This is finally our chance to do something well. And I know we can do it. Yeah.

And thanks for the songs xtine! love em'!

Oranje!

Conversation between orthodontist and me.

O: So what country are you supporting for the world cup?

S: Holland.

O: So would you like orange coloured braces today?

So that's why I have orange braces now.

Holland for the world cup! Oranje!

Back.

Hey. I am finally back, half the month gone.

I think this happened with Japan last year as well. I start to miss the place badly after I leave. I really miss SFO and LAX. Those few days were really great. I got to talk to my friends and seniors more as well, which is a good thing. Now, I finally have a direction in life, after visiting Apple and Google. I am going to work in Apple. Just wait. Maybe not Google, but definitely Apple.

San Fran was nice, the weather was kinda good too. Visited a few companies at Silicon Valley and 2 universities, Berkeley and Stanford. Hopefully I can get a scholarship to go to one of those unis, since they cost a BOMB.

And Apple. It was just super cool lah. Everything there was just... WOW. I don't know lah. I wasn't that fond of Apple before I went, but after I saw everything, it just seemed so great. Really. Google was great too. So much of food. Working there would be great too. But Google is more software based. And programming is quite scary lah. I would prefer to work more on the hardware side. A bit more fun.

We also saw 2 plays. Both were good but I preferred the first one. The Beatles musical. It was quite good and I liked most of the songs they sang, and considering the fact that they were our age, it was a really good performance.

We also went to Delancey Street Foudation, which had something to do with social entrepreneurship. A few days were spent really well in San Fran, after which we left to LA.

On the way to LA, we stopped over for one night at Gilroy, where we shopped the WHOLE day. The next day was LA.

I can only remember Disneyland and Universal Studios. The 5 of us namely Zhong Min, Jonathan, Henry, Daniel and I managed to go on all the major rides in Disneyland, which is a major feat. The ended with a wonderful display of fireworks and the whole group waiting for 2 pple. Haha.

Universal Studios was great as well. We went on most of the rides and attended most of the shows. We only missed the Waterworld show. We also bought a $5 free refill drink, and 7 of us shared it. I think we had about 7 to 8 refills, which is quite good considering that each drink costed $3 alone. OK. nvm.

A few highlights of the trip.

I was at the aiport when I realised that I had left my 1GB SD card at home.

We were to report at 0755hrs one day. (I slept with Jonathan and SS.) I woke up in the morning and saw the clock. 0747hrs. I stared at the clock for 1 min before screaming. Don't ask how 3 guys got ready in 7 mins. You wouldn't want to know.

The girls loved the Victoria Secrets Shop. So many of them were always carrying a VS bag. Some of us paid respects to VS.

Henry and Zhong Min loved taking photos with random girls. And I am sure the girls who took photos with them were either drunk or had just smoked pot. Really.

8 guys in a jacuzzi doesn't really look good.

American TV rocks. No, we didn't watch porn.

I got an iPod nano. Don't ask me why.

The Americans destroyed my suitcase.

I think that's about it. Now to get started on my homework.

PS: My photos are with MR Ng, I'll upload them later.
