Blue Orange Green Pink Purple

maybe.

Gilroy + Sonoma + San Francisco!

Last weekend jocelyn quan yong peckying is in san francisco! apparently joce and peeking are doing some lesbian module (hmmm...) in UCLA but decided to spend the week before sch in SF! SY just graduated so this is part of his graduation hols! erm and MQ is just rich... Anw I fetched them to Gilroy for a shopping trip on friday and we ended the night with a dinner at Banana Leaf (Authentic SG/Msia fooood). I was craving for some of that food and I asked them if they were craving too but I suddenly realised they were only here for less than a week zzz...Was supposed to crash at their hostel in SF but the security guard somehow was very particular about producing the ID and wun let me in! Luckily I managed to contact Hong Pang who is still working in SF (at 1am!) and crashed at his place in Daly City instead

The next day after waking up late and having one Golden Gate Egg Tarts (gives me the feeling of chu1 lian4!) we set off to Sonoma where there's alot of winery! Only me and siyong were able to appreciate the view along the drive, somehow the rest has this special ability to sleep once they are in the car...

sorry joce i was trying to take the tractor that pulls the tram...we were waiting for the tram that will bring us around the winery!
two random fake frogs beside
this is our guide gary explaining bio-dyanics: basically the winery does not use any incesticide and chemicals they grow plants and insects that are beneficial to the crops and sort of like maintain a habitat that is good for the crops! cheem sia no wonder i nv take bio
i posted this picture because it looks like grass gushing out of the ground.
the cave where you keep the wine!
barrels of winee. interesting fact: red wine and white wine are from the same grapes just that red wine is fermented with skins and white wine without! ok prolly u know already but i dunno ok
what is a winery tour without a wine tasting session? i only drink a little ok cos i'm driving haha
next up: san francisco beach! very crazy winds...
for a second i thought sy is part of the background...

apparently this used to be a sea water swimming pool but ppl abandoned it...
wa nice emo shot
look at the smile on their faces...so blissful...
i actually can read the chinese words... ching chong ping pong king kong
minahs
too..hot...i..need...water...
the wind was so strong that we could lean back and the wind would support us!
we went to the twin peaks next! from here you can see the whole of SF! definitely in the list of bring-girl-here-and-she-will-die-in-ur-arms places...but somehow we manage to spot many gay couples...
full city view! the drive down the peak is very nice!
the best night shot my canon could manage (with my skills)...

haha and somehow they missed their flight to LA the next day! so kelian need to pay extra $75 to rollover to the next flight. hope you guys have in LA and i will visit u guys soon!

bonus:

if you leave.

haha i like the way he preaches and how he breaks away from the stereotype of christian men being nua and just "nice" but instead we should be soldiers that will hold our ground and stand up for our beliefs.
ok this picture is supposed to show that i've been to the boeing factory tour because i was not allowed to bring ANY electronice devices into the factory!

LA Again!

Last weekend was memorial weekend = first day off since i start work! wheeeeeee so i went LA again on friday night! after 5 hrs of driving (ok actually only tianglim was driving i was sleeping...halfway thru my sleep he woke me up to see a burning card in the middle of the road...totally random)! I didn't manage to book a place to stay for the night after we reached LA so we parked in front of one random house (the house that looks the most safe) and slept in the car! hahah next day i met up with stephanie (njc dance junior who is dancing 24/7 after her SEP) and bonnie (stephanie's friend) and we went to universal studios (again! season pass rox!). We felt hungry so we ate at the forrest gump restaurant at city walk!

tiang lim and bonnie!
put this sign up and the waiter will come!
bonnie steph and me with the pseudo friendly shrek. before the photo was taken he suddenly dance with me so i played along budden after the photo he whispered to me "be gentle". huhhhh
mystery machine!
hahah this is one of the reason that i came to universal studios again: Waterworld! Live-action show with explosives and stunts and jet skis and airplanes! awesome!
somehow i think this chucky and the chuckie from rugrats look alike!
house of horrors! a sign outside the house of horror reads: the actors will not touch you and you are not allowed to touch them! pretty much like the jc haunted hse...just zhng 10 times liddat

the interior of the zhnged RX-7
Subaru WRX STi featured in fast and furious 4!
this is why the world is running out of oil!
we took pictures w our 3D glasses on because we have nothing to do while waiting in the line for the terminator 3D show...
Animal actors! Very well trained ok...if only i could send chocolate ( who is actually my family's dog but i dun go back to msia frequently so everytime the dog will try to bite me!!! irritating!) here to receive some training! i am sure i will love you more chocolate and stop adding chilli when mum is packing up leftovers for u!
last show of the day: shrek 4D! they spray water at you and there's air jets underneath your seats to make you feel like there's creepy crawlers around. Nothing spectacular but i think it is better than the sentosa copy-pirates-of-the-carribean 4D show that they keep advertising in Vivo City's MRT...
facebook is taking over the world! it is even in universal studios!

ok la universal studios is not the main reason i went to LA...the main reason is:

Of course i wasn't in that video nor i took a class from lyle beniga but i was in that very studio! and it is true that they only turn on the lights nearer to the mirror, the side away from the mirror is really dark! i went for 3 classes (nick demoura, greg chapkis and lee daniel!) omg they are too shen already!!!EVERYBODY IN THE CLASS WAS DAMNNN ZAIIIII except me zzz...feel like shit haha but it is an crazy experience! so envious of steph and bonnie cause they can do that everyday.Met some taiwanese dancers who are professional dancers! They actually spending the whole month in LA to improve their skills (they do this every summer)! We went to have korean BBQ after that! At night me and tianglim went to hollywood to watch terminator 4! how can you say that you've been to LA without going to hollywood?
saw this BIIIG ma tong in one of the shops!
this is where we watched the movie! the chinese theatre or smth! ching chong ping pong king kong!

and i drove 5 hr straight to get back to home! the dance lesson in debbie reynolds really inspired me! i think i will be going to LA much more often now!

bonus! i din't lose my blue hair bet but i decided to dye my hair with manu (the shop din haf blue so now he has black hair with red/pink streaks) ! i've never dyed my hair before so i anyhow choose a color that i thought won't be beng but it still turned out pretty beng (maybe it has nothing to do with hair color...). finally a hair color to match my car! i should take a picture w my car soon!
just came back from funkanometry sf lesson...i wear kr dance teee ok so loyal better let me in when i get back!!!
