Blue Orange Green Pink Purple

maybe.

three flip four!



disclaimer: this happened on two seperate saturdays! last saturday and yesterday! But i lazy to do seperate posts since they happened in the same location.

been to san francisco multiple times already but first time going there as tourist! so last saturday we (me, zy n tl)  went to san francisco since we were bored!
passport ok lose liao cannot go back malaysia
the tram! pay 11 usd for unlimited rides!
these trams are very old liao maybe got 100 yrs

at the terminal the tram will turn around on this disc..operated by human muscle power! no wonder the passport so expensive...
nice random building at the terminal
the whole tram has no doors...you can choose to sit or stand on the steps...feels like malaysian school buses
the cars are parking on a very steep slope...they have to park perpendicular to the road so that the car wun sleep i mean slip.
chinatown! ching chong ping pong king kong!
dunno what cathedral this is but there's park in front of it filled with ppl.
they are not filipino maids ok!
haha the guy realised that they were in the picture so they waved!
looks like those you see inside a bottle right? 
ghirardelli the chocolate factory!
not a big fan of chocolate but come here still will succumb to it....
nice city view!

it is made out of pieces of tiles ok...ever wondered why everybody draws heart in this <3>
fountain dedicated to martin luther

San Francisco city is a really pretty at some streets. But if you walked a little further from the nice streets you will be surprised to find yourself in streets that are filled with homeless people sleeping on the streets . you can see people scavenging rubbish dumps with their stolen shopping trolley. there's smell of urine in the air everywhere you go. people holding an empty cup in their hands asking you for quarters and spare change as you walk by. you will see entire different worlds just by walking down two streets. please consider yourself very blessed to have a job (a professional student!) and being able to read this blog at your own comfort.

ok that sounded abit serious. ANYWAY  the following saturday (yesterday!) we went san francisco again!
cant get enuf of gg (golden gate) bridge! 
money, car, erm i think i will need a yatch as well.
killer view! bring girl come here sure die in your arms!
this place is called fort mason.
what are we doing here?
to my 3rd floorers, this one is for you guys: 
SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL BEER FESTIVAL!
up to 300 types of beer! more than 60 breweries! tickets sold out in first 2 hrs of sales!
aloooot of ppl
marcus and horrace with a random person at the side. we stole the trash only sign from the rubbish bin. WOOOOT!
its hard to behave yourself after drinking lots of beer. 
everybody does this in the toilet to free up your hands. The cup is the most important thing in beer fest!
a familiar sight in my house but this is rather a fresh setting.

Beer fest is really interesting. So basically after you enter the warehouse like structure, you are given a small platic cup which will be your most important possesion throughout the festival. Everything inside the festival is free flow! just go to booths and they will fill up your cup! lost count of how many cups that i've drink. the best drink that i liked is something called hornbee hard cider because it tastes EXACTLY like china brand apple juice! just that this one will make you high! everyone in the festival is very high! from time to time people will hold up their cup and yell together. we just went around hi-fiving random people and cheers with them! took loads of random photos with random people as well (see fb) hahaha oh i am very glad for the fact that i din puke at the end of the day! yayyy ok byebye

sand hand!

to mel zhiping and all you killers fan: I WATCHED KILLERS LIVE WHEEEEeeeEEE ok you all must really catch them if you have the chance.  NOT TO BE MISSED!
me, zeyanlimsg1985, TLF with his fingers
we were THAT close to the stage!
can u see the "k" letter keyboard stand in the middle?
awesome lightings!
everyone was jumping! (i think it was spaceman)
brandon flower is SEHH to the MAXX
encore!

anyway if you all know me i am not a big fan of rock music. So I went into the concert knowing less than 5 killers song (out of which I probably can sing along to only one of them(chorus)) and have totally no idea how the killers looked like.  After 30 minutes into the opening band's performance i asked zy and tl: "err..this is not killers right?", they gave me the "you-shouldn't-be-here" look and laughed like mad.  It took the stage crew another 30 minutes to set up for the killers after the opening band and all this while we were standing in the midst of the very huge crowd sweating and slowly feeling our legs giving way. Wa killers jiu shi killers, test mic and instruments also got ppl help them one go and stage can immediately perform liao. 

Sure enough when the killers started the night with Human i know all the waiting and sweating was worthwhile. SUPER HIGH CAN! Human was followed by Somebody told me which was super duper high as well (2 of 5 songs that i know played within first 5 minutes of the concert =( ). The lead brandon rose (i just wikied him) was just too seh alrdy. Nobody can be so sehh one. I think his sehness is on par with justin timberlake (who IS the epitome of sehness, proof-> watch 3:19 of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRm2guLuej8&feature=PlayList&p=279FEFA85BD293C7&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=61 ). Half way through the concert i smell something and saw people smoking something that is not cigarettes. No wonder they so high! hahaha in between the other 5 songs that i know (which are mr brightside, spaceman and smile like you mean it) there were many songs that I've never heard before but somehow i liked them on the spot, probably due to the sheer awesomeness of their performance.  I kinda regretted for not doing enough homework for the concert to enjoy it to the full extent! Hmmm on my way out of there's a brochure saying that they are coming again on september 12...retest?

french laundry's friend

ooh this weekend i went to napa valley with zeyanlimsg1985, meng kiat the bear bear, JJ pan jun jie and tian shuang who is always very shuang and nice enough to drive all of us down. Supposedly napa valley is known for its vineries and vineyard but we didn't visit them cos we reached there quite late and I didn't feel like drinking wine cos drank too much the night before. But the highlight of the day was to enjoy food in restaurant owned by a michelin awarded chef!
this is the french laundry. Ranked top 5 restaurants in the WORLD. Michelin 5 STARS. Cost per meal: $250++
apparently they grow all their ingredients at the nursery opposite the restaurant..
hmmm can feed alot of people...wait where's are the cows for steak? Is it a vegetarian restaurant?
no sight of cows or chickens here either..
Baby veggies! 
Baby...I dunno wad is dat...
Apparently the people patronising the restaurant eat the flowers as well
at least there's a variety of flowers that you can choose from...
killer scenery...bring any girl here and she will be willing to die in your arms..
Just by standing beside the sign board has made me fatter...
Looks very european...
Special Pastry from Bouchon! Owned by the Michelin Chef as well! Costs $12 USD for 2 tarts...tastes really goood!
It's calledRailway Inn...converted from real train carriages!

BUT being as poor as we are we didn't eat at french laundry of course... we ate ad ad hoc...french laundry's friend...another restaurant opened by the same chef who opened the french laundry...think Armani and Armani Exchange...or McCafe and Macdonalds...okay wrong analogy...

Main Course! erm no its the bread from Bouchon...the bakery owned by the same guy! So ad hoc, Bouchon and French Laundry are actually all on the same street..
First course! Salad with dunno wad dunno wad dunno wad...apparently the french laundry serves the same dish on their menu as well and the veggies are from the nursery that we just visited! 
Main Dish! Lamb steak with dunno wad dunno wad topped with dunno wad with asparagus and mushrooms and pseudo fried rice...The steak was really raw in my opinion...i only ate like a quarter of it and donated the rest to my friends...
pseudo fried rice!
3rd Course! Yakun Kaya Loti! eh no its bread with very old cheese on it (they should serve fresh stuff shouldn't they!) topped with dunno wad garlic onion thingy...
Dessert! Taste really good and sweet comes with cream also! But i dunno wad issit called...

The whole meal costs $50 which isn't too bad according to others who went but somehow i think i dunno how to appreciate it...funny was thinking about bak chor mee throughout the meal...sigh i guess i am not atas enough/ not born to become a rich guy! I think i'll just stick with my ching chong ping pong chinese food! Anyway to dancers great job for DU! Dance more if not u will become fat like meeeee.....dun say i nv warn ah...

byeeee
