MIAMI, FL


This is MIAMI.
OOH LA LA..SUNNY SUNNY AND RICH RICH MIAMI...beach ball babes hahahah
fabulous weather, beautiful people, idiot tow company, blue blue sea, tons of gays, nightclubs, yummmilicious atas food, nice clean hostel, cool winter ocean snorkelling, and the best strawberries ever. oh am gee.

I really felt i was on an extended holiday when i was in miami. Really really got the holiday feel. i didnt even felt like i was here to study. The stuff we did and see was like wahhh....First night when we arrived, we had pizza at Fratelli la Bufala. omg the pizza margherita is divine man . the extra chunks of cheese is like wah faint la.. i really think the pizzas that we eat in US is so totally different from the ones i eat in Singapore. haha and trust me i will never eat pizzahut in singapore ever. unless no choice la. the crust and toppings ah is just to die for la. Then we went to this pub called Waxy's haha. There's another pub called playwright that is directly opposite and it's exactly the same thing. And according to the receptionist at the hostel, playwright was used to own by this pair of brothers then i think they fought so one of the brothers damn du lan, went across to the other side and opened an exactly same pub hahahah sounds like what a singapore shop will do like the rochor road beancurd brothers like that hahha. oh and usually if u are below 21, you cannot drink alcohol but we didnt know u cannot enter also. So they asked to check our id, hahaa so i thought can smoke my way thru, i give my georgia tech id, hahaha they are not stupid afterall. but then again we were lucky cos they only check our year then when they ask us whether we are all above 21 we just say YES. hahah so in we went and i spent 8 bucks on a imported beer which come to think of it, it's quite expensive cos beer is suppose to be cheap in US. but then again that was imported beer, so give it to them la. So we played games and with every forfeit, u got to answer a question. So chubbo lost and she told us her wildest sex fantasy. and omg, i want to knock my head on the table and the wall after i heard her... oh man hahahahahahahaha DAMN WILD. those who want to know it, pay me 10 bucks when i m back in Singapore.

Next day, we went to MIAMI BEACH. haha how cool is it. Next time i can tell people i've been to MIAMI BEACH LEH!!! hahaha it's like those places you see in TV then u think they only belong in the tv but now you've really been there la.. how cool. and the best part, i've never seen blue blue water before and this beach has blue blue water. like really blue water. and the sun was damn shiok. it's the best place in the world to sun tan cos you'll never sweat in the sun. Damn nice. Cam whored like mad again and i got an ugly tan. And i went to the Gay beach at 12th street. Took photo with their gay flag and really alot saw alot of gays. Haha. We made royston and jason take photo with the flag then this gay couple came up to us and said Hi! do you know what the flag means? Then we said yup and then he said cool. Are we going to party tonight at any nightclubs hahaha i think they think jason n roys are gay too hahahahah so fun. Miami's really a place for the rich. Never seen so many yaucht and big cars and limos in my life. The people dress rich rich, drive big cars and party real hard at night.


the gay beach
the big cars
oh then we had real nice mango chutney chicken curry..it's like those food that u see on Ch 5 afternoons where they have travel shows hosted by angmohs tat nobody watch. i felt like i was eating one of those food in those shows. haha shiok to the max. should try recreating that chicken again back home.

At night we had the best angmoh seafood at Joe's Stone Crab. With a whopping 30 bucks meal that i usually would not pay for, but i did in the end cos it's like top 5 on tripadvisor (oh btw tripadvisor is like my best friend here. peck, you ll love this website when u start to plan for all ur trips here). It like eating no signboard or jumbo in an angmoh way. Cos their sauce is like some melted butter and mustard that u have to dip in separately. The crab is sweet to the max. i tell you. oh my god la. and the hashbrown skin ah is like crispy max max. And i had the best key lime pie ever. faint faints. full full.

Next day is another adventure man. Snorkelling in Key Largo. First time i did snorkelling. leh . I always thought my first time would be in some island in malaysia. Oh and the snorkelling wasnt done in like some shallow calm water that i expected it would be at. It was done in the middle of the atlantic ocean during winter. Wow. Cold to the max man. when we came out of the water, we shivered like mad. i never shivered like that in my life before. But cool experience la. literally. hahah and the sea was damn choppy. like every 5 seconds, one wave will come. Felt my kidney shrinking man, sea water is damn salty la. but the sea water here taste different from the sea water in singapore leh. this one like taste abit nicer haha but aiyah i dont like sea water la. it's salty.I've never eaten cuban food in my life before. but in this short trip i ate cuban food twice and not bad la, i quite like it nice. hahah nice. got chicken got pork got fish. aiyah nice la. you come n eat urself la.cuban sandwich. nice ttm
Then on the 4th and final day, we went to the EVERGLADES and sat on the airboats at Coopertown airboats. OMG. COOL SHIT I TELL YOU. the airboat just zoom zooom zoom into the everglades. wow got safari feel damn nice.. really got the holiday feel cos this is like something u ll never get to do anywhere else, especially in Singapore. We saw gators in the wild and damn nice la.. we saw the airboat that was used in one of the episodes in CSI Miami. DAMN FUN.













And then what's florida without a farm. So we went to Burr Berry Farm ahahha sounds like burberry farm rite..like got branded stuff hor.. but nope it's a STRAWBERRY FARM. i tell you the strawberry here is also eat until song song dao jurong. damn sweet... their strawberry sundae, strawberry milkshake, strawberry shortcake, strawberry lemonade and strawberry froyo is really to die for man. wahh after u eat ah, u feel like u are on cloud 9 man...really... best i ve ever eaten man. but i think overload of strawberry la. went home and lao sai.

strawberry sundae that u can die for
strawberry froyo
ultimate strawberry combo


sighhh holiday please go on .... next up..alaska..seattle hahahah GANIBA, GET READY TO BE JEALOUS.







Just another day

Today is a song song dao jurong day. Haha i realise i need to blog bout atlanta hawks, stone mountain and florida but nahh i should take a break from the travelling and just do random blogging cos i have NEVER done random blogging. how sad. and i realise if i dont blog there n then, i'll just probably forget wat i wanted to blog and then when i really get down to blogging, it's just gonna sound boring.

And guess wat, i just added a tag board to my blog!! hahaha ganiba, my blog is better than your blog. chubs say u dunno how to enlarge pictures and i dunno how to add tagboard. but now i know. hahahhahaha and without her help. she is a monster la. And i added it during my 202 class in school. today is just a damn slack day..so different from the last thurs where i had to rush non stop the entire day til i finally reached miami. really damn song la. can just walk slowly, eat my spaghetti slowly, enjoy the weather, just talk bout random stuff and also hear chubbo talk bout how she will act when she goes for speed dating when she is in her early thirties. when she has no boyfriend and worries bout not being able to get married. hahahahahahahhaahaha oh am gee. you should just see the way she acts it. DAMN FUNNY. HAHAHAHAHAH

And we were just talking to this french guy we made friends last time at another friend's gig. And i realize communicating to people who speak differently is really damn tiring. We must keep " "huh?", then keep repeating ourselves cos he also dont understand us then must listen very attentively and hard cos once u stone awhile, you will lose what he trying to say. Halfway thru, i just give up. so when he says something i didnt really catch or dont understand, i'll just go " oh.." "really?" "ah..nice" then give the smiley smile haha. and i think chubbo thinks i understood what he said when she didnt but she kept quiet but actually she doesnt know that i also dunno what he talking about haha! oh the best thing.. i dont even know his name.. i think he said before but his accent ah..really kns. hahaha so his name on my phone now is French Guy.

SAVANNAH, GA

Hello, i'm back..i realise i'm always the last in the group to blog about the trips haha. Savannah was like 3 weeks back..but better late than never. Been travelling extensively in the past few weeks and wowww i feel like i'm on an extended holiday. Exchange has been reallly damn gooood. haha...i think im gonna get serious post exchange depression when i go back to Singapore. though i really miss Singapore alot especially the food. I've got tons of stuff i want to eat when i go back home.

So about Savannah, it's a little small town in Georgia so while Jason went to Chicago that weekend, the NBS year 2 gang set off for our 3 days 2 night road trip to this town at the east of georgia. Initially, i thought it was just a historic town, nothing much but OMG i was so wrong. Tons of photo taking opportunities and sites. We camwhored like mad and it was a blast. Haha thanks to Royston's tripod. Annd I saw so many things that when u are cooped up in small little Singapore, you ll never get to see it.

The weather was soo goood..so warm and sunny and it's nice to take a break from the cold in Atlanta. I could just wear a teeshirt n jacket and walk out and just soaak in the sun..damn warm damn nicee... the first day we went to Forsyth Park. The park where forest gump was filmed and wow...While the park in Central park was grand, Forsyth park was much much greenier (maybe cos of the weather) and it's just like a neighborhood park but the feel and atmosphere is so nicee...sighhh one of the nicest park i've ever been tooo. and we camwhored like mad there.

there was this wedding couple taking pictures in the park haha so nicee and so got feel...
i've been getting better at man handling chubbo. hahah told her not to mess with me.
we then had dinner at vinne van go go's pizza
the pizza is so damn big and i ate a quarter of that whole big thing. omg.. my appettite is horrible here..i feel like a pig la. i used to think the portions here were damn big. like must share that type, nowadays, everyone can order one portion for themselves. Sigh... but i must say the pizzas in USA are like ooh la la..no pizza in singapore come close to those here.. thats gonna be one of the food i ll miss when i leave this place.

And check out this little pralines at the bottom. It's this candy shop next to the pizza place and wow..it damn heavenly.. it's super duper sweeet but u dont get sick of the sweeetness...they have the caramel and like milkmaid condensed milk taste and the pecans and chocolate all mixed in this thingy..wowww i wanted to buy it but its freaking expensive.. best pralines ever.
DAY 2:
We went to Skidaway park and Tybee island. Skidaway park is wowww... really got the africa feel. we did a short trail and walked inside the national park..damn cool cos u get to really immerse urself in nature. hahha and again we camwhored like mad. hahah we had like mini photoshoots along the way la..there was this lady whom we met at the start of the trail and when we were not even halfway thru, she was done with hers and we saw her walking back.. hahaha took damn long cos we just kept taking photos and behind every photo is like tons of NGs and reshoots. Quite funny actually.. but damn nicee.. one of those experiences that u wont get to do in Singapore.

hahaha told you, we started acting like models. damn poser la hahah but damn fun...
me n lays' paparazzi shot.






The sky damn blue rite.... i m gonna miss the blue-ness..it makes the photos looks damn nice..




This is Tybee Island. It reminds me of Orcacoke alot haha and i've never seen so many lighthouse in one period of my life. But this time round, you get to climb up the lighthouse for 7 bucks and its a 178 steps up it. Haha once u conquer it, climbing the 99 steps at Clarke Quay Station Exit C is nothing. I really pity the lighthouse keeper in the past. poor man la, everyday got to climb up 178 steps just to light it. can u imagine if u forgot something or left something up there, oh man u got to climb all the way up again.



The view at the top is really nicee..but actually it was quite freaky cos when u look down and sit how high up you are, got the height phobia thingy la...


oh mannn i wished i was a cat.. so xin fu la.. can just lie there n bask in the sun... oh mannn i want to be a cat tooo .. .



eating ice cream in that weather was heavenly... nice nice sunset...never see so many sunsets in my life before too haha.. the one at orcacoke was nicer though cos u can really see the sun set and the moon rise up at the same time.
This was at crab shack. i can only say i ate nicer seafood before.



sighhh ..it was a real nice weekend getaway..and when we drove back on sunday and went into 1199 francis street, oh mann the blues started setting in.. i wished the holidays would never end hahaha
