14~8~21(thurs)

Went out with Josh, Katie and Niamh today. We had so much fun. Get our eyebrow threaded, bought so many shirts.....

14~8~20( Wed)

Woke up early in the morning at 7.00am and headed to highway at 7.45a.m with Jessica.

After breakfast( crumbled egg and fried potato slice!) and doing dishes, I taught them how to fish even I just learnt yesterday.

 Kyle got a fish and then I realised I need to help him to unhook it but I had no idea how to do that,bso I just pretended that I know about it. Spending 5 minutes, realised that it doesnt work so instead I asked for staff member's help and well, he did it in less than 1minute, such an ashamed! So after a while all the worm gone( I had some of it slides through my face while I was trying to do that) and I have no idea that we can actually use fake worm u til the kids told me to do so....

I actually learn how to double hook the worm, how the cast the string far away, get a fish, unhook it( kiss it before you put it back! It brings luck!)

I kept repeating " I have never ever in my life catch a fish!) 

Spending time with creator are awesome! Caity kept trying to show what she know and Mr Kelby was like " trying to put u down ya!" But whatever! I dont care!

So, after fishing, we went for mountain boarding, I learnt the skill, how to lean the front leg to start moving, turn to different direction, stop it......and most of times, I actually playing with the soccer ball....

Brandon just want to stay on it forever and never want to go away.

After that, we have Scavenger Hunt. So, I had them collect at least 10leaves, 10rocks, worms, tadpoles, salamander and frogs...

Well, they didnt get anything of course but I guess they have so much fun by themselves!

Kyle wanted to win the game so much! Haha, I love him.

After that, we had our lunch. As usual, I didnt get much but the potato with cheese soup was really nice! thx to Miss Janise.

So, after that, we played basketball. 

After basketball,we had ice-cream. The best topping ever with cherry, hershey, M&M.....and whipped cream.....

Then, I brought the green X men mountaineers group for art and craft session. I taught them how to make the friendship bracelet, paint the wooden block and stuff, I made a pumpkin for CC, hehe, coz she sent me a broken one and I really want to send another back to her and It has to be the complete pieces!

Then, I brought them for the trail ride, this time I had Splash as my horse. The white one instead of Athen( the black beautiful stable horse that I had yesterday). I love Splash but he was kinda lazy and refused to move most of the time. I learnt to move the horse by giving a big hug by squeezing my leg, stop it by pulling the lace, turn to diff dir, get up and down, lean forward to avoid branches, give it some personL spaces and stuffs....

After horse riding, I brought the, back for frisbee game. Wow, I am astonished that I actually did a good job in teaching the, how to play the games!

They were having so much fun. The games go so excited and Mr Kelby was like what was the score again, coz we kept leading. Then, one of the girl in the other team simply throw thefrisbee and the boy named Julio shouted at her and she actually gave him a hard slap. I was stunted but well, They told her it doesnt matter and continued the game.....

So, after htat I was kinda tiring and after dishes, we went up to the mountain sunrise for the firework. I listen to the music, the playgroud by Ting Feng and Kinda reflected everything that happened in 2months, tears was kinda rolling them coz I know I am going to misx this place!

#Day14 #Miami

By the time we were in Miami, it was 7.30am early in the morning. we went to hostel straight away but due to wrong search of destination, we ended up a few street ahead of the street where the hostel located and we had to walk back by carrying the heavy luggage.

However we were so tired so we stopped by and had our breakfast by the beach. A lort of people wearing bikini here!

Then, we walked all our way back to hostel. There are many shops around here. I had Moar salad wrap for my lunch. 

The wether was so nice! We planned to go for photo shooting first before we swam in the ocean.

While we were busy shooting photo, the sky darkened. Out of sudden, it rain. I thought it was supposed to be sunny day. Due to the rain that came out of no where, everyone ran like there was tsunami that approached!

So, we slowly walked back to our hostel and changed to our swimming suit.It was thunder rain and stopped after a while.

Yeapi! I love the ocean Felt so free! The ocean welcomed us with a big big hug=P( hehe, I think I felt the warmth) I enjoyed the feeling when the tides hit me and pushed me forward, telling me there is no turning back.

I enjoyed immersed myself in the water and just let nothing enter my mind...so relaxing ....soothing....

After about an hour, we were tired and decided to go back. So cold while walking back as my whole body was wet.

after that we came out for dinner again but the restaurant here was quite expensive and we ended up in Thailand and Japanese restaurant. We both shared a plate of Pad Thai as the portion was quite big. Athen, we went back=)

#Day 24 Manhattan

14~6~11

Early 7.45a.m in the morning, We woke up just to do the laundry. Sadly, the first thing that come into my mind was she is going to leave at 11a.m. to the campsite much more earlier than me! And I will have to spend another one more day here by myself.

Feeling so reluctant, this little evil yet so adorable girl! I know I am going to miss her so so much!

You have no idea how she made my 21st birthday so wonderful as in I am the special girl in the world!

With her luggage, we walked to the armsterdam avenue whicj is 30minutes away. We went out so late that we were afraid to be late so instead we ran all the way there. Then, we were informed that the bus will be an hour later so we decided to have our last lunch together in the Chinese restaurant opposite!

We had our last photo taken together!

Then, before we even started eating, the bus came!Lol,so we didn't get to eat together!

I hugged her so tightly and reluctantly, I let her go.( by passenger!)LOL

#Day18

14~6~5 # Day 18

Today is a day trip to Orlando, the central of Florida.

We didn't start off the day well!

We took a bus and trying to spend all the coins in the bus and, ended up scolded by people

 " We have all days hre!".

So, yeah, lesson learn, never use coin in the bus.

So we went to universal studio Orlando today! 

There are total 5 main park, the production central, New York, San Franscisco, World Expo.

Cant tell how much fun we both had but it was really tiring

#Day2 #Grand Canyon,the desert....SUMMER in the air!But I love it! =P

'

( photos will be uploaded in 3months time)

14~5~19

Yeah!Second day of our trip! anticipating as usual....Ohhh...too bad have to wake up early in the morning at 4. 30a.m. as we followed tour to Grand Canyon....and Hoover Dam.

We had our hearty breakfast in Denny's cafe,omelette with cheese....as breakfast! My favourite=P !!! heard so US famous for their sausage! I did try some frm Cindy's dish!But it seemed normal kut.....

Waiting for the bus to pick us up in Hampston Inn, wow....we saw limo passes by....then a van arrived instead of a bus...thought so this was the one,so cozy and spaceful, then, at one point, it stopped and the driver asked us to enter the other bus( fine, haha, no luck to enjoy the van trip....)

One hour journey to the Hoover Dam, the origin of Las Vegas! No dam no LA,that is what people said because it supply the main water source.

We crossed the Hoover Bridge built by Mike....it took about 10years to do so.One worker died during the construction. Wow, can't believe we were actually here, standing on the bridge and looked down from above, it was just breathtaking and unbelievable awesome! Wait a minute...is a LEGEND!

Then, we went back to our bus and another 2hours journey to the Grand Canyon. Cannot tell how much I actually love it! I do love desert( Maybe you might think I am insane! How is it possible for people to love dessert? It was just too hot and you are in the middle of  NOWHRE) However, I always dream of me myself staying here with my loved one for about maybe a year or so. just to experience different kind of life. I read a novel written by San Mao before, she is my idol, she is so adventurous, resourceful and daring! She knows what is the best thing to do in emergency. I always hope that I can be just like her.

Well, out of topic!Back to Grand Canyon, it consists of 3main point, which are Hualapai, Eagle and Guana point. We went to Eagle point first because we bought the ticket to enjoy the skywalk( You will know how is it like if you ever been to Penang Hill before!) 

Cindy and I took turn to take a walk and the other captured photos from the other side of the bridge as we were not allowed to bring along our camera and the photos taken by the photographer over there cost 35USD per photo! A BIG NONO!

I was under the scorning sun! for almost half an hour, luckily it was not burning hot and kind of windy as well, and the sand was blown everywhere, just like hurricane....

We tried a little bit of crazy posture to take the best shoot such as lying by the edge of the hill, dangling our leg by the edge, acting like we are going to fall down ( not imitation! seriously, haha, safety come first!)

We rushed to the next Guana point, wow, there are 2 big hills made of pieces of rocks for us to climb up....

Lunch time! Buffet!Yea! The best thing in life is having big meal when you feel like a hungry ghost!

Quite sad that we had to skip the last point which is the Hualapai Point( smething like cowboy town), is 3.30p.m. and the everyone is waiting for us actually! Hehe....nvm, still satisfied!

Both of us slept like pigs in the bus! 

After 2 and a half hour, we woke up and what happened after that was not nice to talk to. As we were not so sure about the location of our next destination,we mentioned the previous one but soon we realized the other stop which is the circus is much more earlier, so we asked for change in direction but the driver wasn't so friendly and seemed to be a bit annoyed, The passengers in the front roll even mentioned "If they are not going down in the circus stop, I am going to throw them out!" 

I was like" Whatever, I just want to get to my destination."Sometimes, we have to suppress the bad feeling within us although we feel so hurt but never let people who aren't so good to affect you. Still believing good people are everywhere as long as this is the way you treat people. 

To be random, throughout the trip, I learnt sth,

Everyone want to be someone special, prominent, look high by others, capable, strong. For me, nothing seemed to be important, as long as you are happy and it spreads to those around you. Treat people whole-heartedly, people do the same to you. Everyone make mistake.....and you don't need recognition from others to find your role in the universe, you don't have to proof but you need to have faith in yourself....Only people who know you appreciate you =)

Well, we took another an hour to find our hotel, and haha, the funny thing is that all these while, it was just in front of us, Palace Station, just that we never believe that our hotel was the grand one and we kept walking here there.

The next things we did right after we reached was to start booking Antelope Canyon trip ticket for next day...the wifi was so weak that I ended up going to the lobby and started booking till midnight. ( Oh man.....We skipped our dinner....sad.....)

Another trick here! Cindy accidentally open one of the movie and was being charged for 10USD....! Still, nvm......problem that can be solved by money is never a PROB!

After 1am, I went back and Cindy slept soundly there, hehe, so sorry for her. She must be very worried that I came back so late and I know she was a bit sick also. Actually, I am really sorry that I didn't really able to help her much in lot of things....
