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
