While Bob was in Japan,  I did some Googling and found out that there are really good brands of make up stuff and beauty products that I needed (the youtube people said). Okay, there are actually tonnes of things that you should/can/must get from Japan. So I did some research and narrowed it down to the common items that most/all the sites were raving about and... "If you see any of this stuff, can get for me?" *proceeds to spam Bob with pictures of stuff I want* Some face scrub, face foamer, lip balm, mascara... you know things like that that men generally shop for. "Oh okay ^^ " It was over whatsapp, but I'm sure his eyes were like that ^^. - He got back yesterday and I said, "Soooo, what did you get me? hehehe *straightens halo* did you manage to find anything?" "I found everything!" "You found everything?!" "Ya! Like going on treasure hunt" He empties out his bag; "I found this guy, I dunno what this thing is...b...

Oh don't pretend... that you've never forgotten your contact lens case before! x

"You know how people always say Californians are tanned, into organic food, soy, the beach and are always wearing slippers? That stereotype was born right here in New Port." It was a 2 hour paddle around the bay and swanky houses with yachts and private docks. The plan was to go for a hike but somehow, we ended up going kayaking and I'm glad we did... even if I was dressed in a tank and joggers. New Port was gorgeous. Everything about it was gorgeous.   So so gorgeous. "One day I'm gonna own a yacht, what are you gonna call yours?" I ask because I'm sure mine was better #kiasu "Probably something like...The White Wonder. You?" "The Hummer or maybe Mustang Sally" Told you guys *smug* "I'm gonna live in that house next time, maybe I'll be neighbours with Kobe"  because where else am I going to put my yacht right guys? I need a dock! The guys are hardcore Kobe Bryant fans and almost had a panic attack when the thought I...

"We're going to Boiling Crab on Friday. Don't plan anything. " It was still the beginning of the week when Shaun sent me this text. Like it was serious business. Haha and yes, of course, in my journey of discovering California, food is what we'd cover first (...and last ...and in between.) The Malaysian is strong in this one. "Oh I forgot to tell you to only wear clothes you don't like. You're gonna smell of it after.  Are you wearing anything you like?" "I'm wearing everything I like!" The boiling crab is cajun seafood. You can order crab, shrimp, corn, sausage, etc  and it'll arrive in a plastic bag filled with sauce... ...that you eat off the table...with your hands. So that's pretty interesting.  *I don't eat with my hands* But dammmmnnn the food is soooo good!!! We ordered shrimp and crab and corn and French fries.  French fries are the best! Esp dipped in the sauce.*cholesterol level spikes* If I lived there, I wou...

"You have to eat M&M donuts it's sooooo good!" We stood in line half an hour before it opened to get the donuts...and it was cold! The first 2 times we went, I got sleepy so we headed home. You see, it only opens at night and closes in the wee hours of the morning. "Why does it take so long?" I grumble. "There's only one man who makes the donuts and he only has one oven. He bakes it batch by batch." "I bet he's Chinese" "How did you know?!" "Haha because he's stinging on man power and doesn't wanna buy more ovens.... it's okay that I say it, I'm Chinese too" - We were the 3rd in line when it opened and waited over an hour! When we finally got our donuts, I was pretty excited.  Everyone I met was raving about it since I arrived in LA. I took a bite.  "Do you like it??"  A hot fresh-out-of-the-oven donut in the cold weather. It was the best donut I had ever eaten.  Worth the hour in ...

"We're not pressuring you to do drugs, we're pressuring you to have fun." I'm a big chicken when it comes to roller coasters.  I'm the one who usually offers to hold the bags, take pictures and wave at you while you wait in line... like your parents. That's why, no matter how many times I've been to Disneyland. I never. N ever ! Go on the Tower of Terror. "If you don't like it in the beginning we can leave" What a liar! We left only to get back in line awhile later. "Look at the building! It's so beautiful!" " ........Shaun, I can hear people screaming all the way from the street " "Nah, not all the way from the street! Only from the entrance of the ride" That's great. I feel better......not. "You can sit between us, we'll protect you!" " From what Kyle? The height!?" - Okay that's good,  I can't see the bottom and maybe it's not so high. Maybe I can leave..maybe......

"Oh look there's a P.F Changs here. We'll go there for dinner" mum says. What's that? "It's a ngmoh Chinese food."  (American chinese food) Why do we wanna eat there? o.o "When I went to visit a friend in San Francisco out of all the places to go, you know where he brought me?   P.F Changs .  When I came back to LA I saw another friend, you know where she brought me? P.F Changs. Now we're in Pasadena, you know where I'm gonna bring you?  P.F Changs ." - "This place is the atas Chinese food, it's really popular among the Americans. You notice there are no Chinese in here." Well yea, if I can eat legit Chinese at home why do I wanna pay to eat American Chinese food? That's like going into Italiannies and saying there are no Italians in here. - What are egg rolls mum? I always hear angmohs talk about it. "Aiyah it's that roll we always eat, the fried one." What?! You mean popiah ? There isn't even ...

Shaun was looking high and low for his "ChapStick" the other day. "Oh! it's in my pocket!"  he said and pulled out the little lipbalm tube. "That's not Chapstick Shaun. That's Burts Bees . " "Yea. It's Burts Bees ChapStick. " "Isn't Chapstick a brand?"  I am clearly confused here. Well yea, this is just a different brand of ChapStick. What would you call it then?" On second thought, maybe he's the one that's confused. That's two different brands..right guys, right right? "Uhmmm lip balm? Isn't that like a completely different brand?" "Yea, but like Kleenex. No one says pass me a tissue, they say pass me a Kleenex even if it's a totally different brand" What I learnt : 1. Just accept it. It doesn't make much sense.  2. This ad is strangely accurate. ..even when it isn't really.

The other day, I was in Nordstrom looking high and low for the toilet.  I needed to pee desperately and I couldn't find it! I did the usuals, you know, pacing back and forth from one display to another,  looking up at all the signs (dressing room?..nope not it) and trying to stand on my tip toes in search  for a door that might have that symbol with the little person on it. Maybe I'll just ask someone , I think to myself.  Or maybe I'm not looking for the right sign.  Okay whatever I'll ask someone.  Damn! What do they call it again?  I pace up and down again and... Lo and behold! I find -what must be it- a sign that said  Ladies Lounge .  It's hard enough trying to consciously remind myself not to call it a toilet,   now I find it's also called Ladies Lounge? What do ladies do in there? ...Lounge?.. hang out maybe? So I see a door but instead of seeing the usual symbol on it,  (you know, the little bald lady wearing that triangular...

Read about Day 1 here "OMG KEN YEANG!!! THIS IS SOO SCARY!!!! &%^%&@!!! I SHOULDN'T HAVE CLIMBED UP HERE!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!" Poor Ken Yeang,who had to deal with me while I was freaking out at the top of the temple, being such a girl . Shameful! Especially while Munyi, who was like an asian Lara Croft, was practically leaping off the steps making her way down from the Bayon Temple library. You see, it wasn't as scary on the way up. Okay actually it was, but it didn't look AS scary as it did on the way down!  All smiles, little did I know. Almost wanted to tell them to go on without me! Call a chopper or something to pick me up hahah! But it was really worth the heart-dropping-to-my-ass, because the view is pretty awesome  and you get to see a whole lot of Bayon Temple from up here! I wonder why there are so many pictures of me climbing down. Ken Yeang must have thought this very funny, was probably too polite to laugh at me so he decided to take pict...
