So what do i have for you in today's blog? i think i would write about from departure till the point i am doing now.

the first torture of the day was that i have to wake up at 4-430am just to catch a 8am flight. nothing special happened except that i ate a kaya toast and milo breakfast. i am starting to think of my milo already... shucks... i forgot to bring instant milo over here. how am i suppose to survive without milo for 3 months? I am not sure myself. haha.... anyways, i board the flight with a bottle of gin. hehee.... is 19 bucks(dutyfree) and decided that i would drink in the hostel when i reach america. hee. the flight was relatively normal and we change flight at taipei. after which, a grandma bringing his grandson was sitting at a position diagonal of me and you know how irritating children can be and the child decided to make a havoc by crying and making noise for 10 hours of my ride to anchorage. although i said it was irritating, i just keep laughing. ( i must be crazy man) when departing the plane to do immigration stuff to enter to US, the person sitting in front of me starts getting crazy and keeps complaining to her bf(i suppose) that the grandma was very irritating. but anyway, she was just as irritating as the small kid and i felt like giving her a tight slap and ask her to shut up. ( i dun have a very good temper to begin with)

anyway, i still had to take a 6 hours flight to new york and the child and her/his grandma was still sitting at the same position and i have to tolerate the noise for another 6 hours. but i still keep laughing (i must be really crazy) i even cried when i heard This Love on the plane. i'm not sure why i got so emotional over this but i suppose i also miss my boy too much that i can't control my tears. oh ya... i almost forgot to tell you. my arrival time was late by one hour plus because some people are late for the taipei to anchorage flight and some people can't clear the immigration. we waited for 45 minutes for those who can't clear immigration and had to take down their lugguage. i wonder what would be of them. will they be sent back to taipei or will they have "special arrangement"?? i really don't know man.

upon reaching new york at 12 am in the morning, we started to wonder how do we get to new jersey( my workplace btw) and started walking around and asking. initially, we wanted to take subway and bus there but guess what, i got to ride on a limousine in the end. hahaha..... it's 350 for eight people and it will reach my workplace. think of the trouble i have saved myself of transferring from one type to another transportation and the best thing is that i got on a limousine. nevermind whether its old or whatever, i sat on a LIMOUSINE. heard that? hahahaha..... quite cool an it is exactly like those we saw in movies where there is a bar counter and a television too. the bk breakfast is definitely better than those in singapore. we get to make our own drinks too! (my friend was a little weird since she started to take packet lemon juice, grape jam, mayo, etc.....)

after we reached new jersey, we settled with the housing (which has wireless!!! so i can talk to my boy boy tomorrow morning. ps: please pardon me if i got the timing wrong since the difference between new jersey and singapore is exactly 12 hours)
is polling over? i suppose so right? can't really know what is the date in singapore now since there's a difference in one day between new jersey and singapore. according to new jersey, it's 5th of may now.

gotta meet new people and chatted with them. two of them are really pretty man but also high mantainence. haha.... for me, i went to the supermarket and do some grocery shopping. i started to miss singapore since i have to do alot of conversions while shopping for my stuff and things here are so expensive. my friend keeps reminding me that we should only buy necessities and not wants because i wanted a cookie. OMG>>> i am deprived of COOKIE in US! somebody help me. i feel like a slave now man. i miss those things i had in singapore. i want my milo! oh ya.... the apartment in charge just informed me that no alcohol drink allowed. i am starting to wonder what i should do with my gin. i suppose i will go ahead with my drinks but just to take sips and not shots. anyways.... feeling sleepy now. new york lights at night stretches as far as the horizon and they even have rectangular pattern... yawns.... i am starting to slip into my dreamland man. haha.... may edit my post later. see ya guys and wait for my updates alright? :D
2nd day of my trip in new jersey. did nothing much.... just ate wholemeal bread for breakfast and grilled chicken and baked potato for lunch. heehee... afterwhich, we went to explore the place and i found out that the place i work has lots of pizza shops and we managed to find one that is 99cents per piece and it will be my new food source for the next 2 and that half months. the clothes are extremely cheap, it's only a dollar!!! where can you find this type of clothes in singapore man??!!! haha...... may be going to the beach with my other friends and theme park rides after that! but in the end, i didn't go. haha... was sleeping. :P
didn't do much over here on the third day. just went to the theme park to play some of the games over there. i didn't play the big roller coaster because my fren couldn't take it. haha...
we actually played some octopus thingy which was quite scary, teacups and roundabout(i went reluctantly la... cause i don't really like to play this kind of things. i am 21 and i am doing what 5 years old do... shame on me man). i also did a mini rollercoaster but was not really very scary... the feeling was pretty good though. erms... oh ya... the ferris wheel. it was quite a scene from up there but i didn't bring camera along so i think i will ride one more time on that. the ocean is just marvellous. i wished i had brought my camera along man! and i realised that i was surrounded but water (which may offer some explanation as to why this place was so cold right now). i was shivering when i was on the ferris wheel cause the wind is just so strong! went on some bumper car ride. i love this man... it's just that when i was in singapore, i felt it was not worth it cause it is like 1.5 or 2 bucks for bumping car of about 3 minutes. we also ride on some pirate ship kinda of thingy whereby there's 3D effect after wearing some glasses. i was pretty scared as i was thinking there might be some skull thingy dropping in front of me or something like that but it turned out to be quite a flop with one person trying to grab my hand. hmmz... not very exciting. last but not least, i went on some circling ride( i really have no idea how to describe that) and it was quite a horrible experience since my friend was squashing me like i was just a poor tuna. boohoo.... and just when i think the ordeal was over, i realised it was going backwards. i got squashed as well.... hmms..... simply terrible. haha...
that's the shedule for the 3rd day.
for breakfast, we had some toasted bread. afternoon, we had pasta with brocolli and chicken and at night, we had chicken soup with potato, salad and bread(simply because the bread was expiring.)
so that's all for the day. will be having orientation on the 4th day. :)
