Back! Belinda is back in Singapore. No more fried-ty food, no more American breakfast.. Phew.. Been to a place which has a different culture and mindset, i realised i still prefer Singapore. Early sunset makes the day shorter always. Clock is 8hours earlier than Singapore. Jet lack didn't leave me as i found myself tired at 4pm. I missed my bed, miss the always warm weather in Singapore. I miss the noodle soup and the market under my house. I miss local dramas in Singapore. During the trip, i suddenly feel that my parents are really aging. The tour was filled with mostly people in the age range of 20-35. My mum and dad sat together in the coach. Always missing the important points which our 'soy sauce' says. Always walks at the back, not knowing everyone is always waiting for them. Been to SF, LV, LA. Grand canyon, the rock formation was remarkable and memorable. Shopping at outlet was really nice, COACH, Kate Spade even apparels were so cheap compared to the biggest discount you could even get it for in Singapore. Went with 5 luggage, returned with 9 checked in luggage, all pack to the packed. My shopping summary:

COACH
1 purse (on the bag)
1 hand bag (Brown/white)
1 handpurse (Yellow)


Kate Spade
2 purse (1 long- brown/1 short - green)


Converse, Charlotte Russe , Polo Ralph, Tommy Hilfiger
10 tops (for schools and outings) - not more than S$15 each piece.


Levi
2 black jeans ( my 1st levi jeans)

My brother and sister also bought lots. All the siblings went separate ways when it comes to shopping. People in our tour were extremely puncture when it comes to shopping day. Before the meeting time, all had already assembled in the bus prepared to move off. Rushing from stores to stores especially at Palm Spring outlet. Tax there was the least, things there were more recent (by a bit) except for Kate Spade. Fortunately, i grabbed the model which attracted me at Boston earlier despite the higher 1% tax.

Disneyland was FUN! we took rides and roller coasters. Heezz, scare the shit out of my mum. We reached the park at 9-10am and our 'soy sauce' was really experienced i must say. While we were queuing for the station, she went to get fastpass for the next. It really saved us lots of time. She filtered those which are the main attraction and get us on them. By 4pm, we already covered most interesting rides. My mum gave up after taking 3 rides + 1 soothing ride. The last fastpass she gotten for us was the Califonia Scream. BIG BIG and FAST roller coaster. From 0 m/s it accerelate all the way to the maximum speed. Faster than any roller coaster speed you could every imagine in 1 second. Maximum speed, it moves up the slope and before you can prepare/breathe, down the slope you go, lifting your butt from the seat to the highest point of the safety barrier. It never slows down at any turns or upslope. As usual, i screamed all the way. Was a big accomplishment and worth it for all who rode on that. Walking beside the califonia scream area, the sound of the 'wheels' rolling on the iron support was loud and frightening.

Universal studio the presentation was an eye opener. Bringing you to places which filming was done. Showing the behind scenes. Afew stations of fast rides there too but we decided to give a miss. Shouldn't put universal studio after Disneyland! Me and my sister found it fun-ner to take photos with the characters. They were cute!

Journey back home, just18 hours of travelling just to get there nearly took my life. Entertainment screen in front of me doen't ease my boreness in that 'confined space'. 10 days tour gone like that. Thank God i am home! Ate noodle soup for both meals today:)
