I will remember you...

I vividly remember the day I bid farewell to my friends in PGP and my parents at Changi Airport on June 18th. Later, the "Famous Five" of us met up at the boarding counter to get our pass, anticipating our journey and our new life in Los Angeles.

I remember the day when we need to transfer a plane in Bangkok to LA, we were running like "The Amazing Race" to the isolated terminal, scared that we will miss our plane. Haha..

I remember my first night view of LA which is from the plane above.. I was mesmerized. I remember my first encounter with Aunt Lai in LAX, who greeted us happily and has been a wonderful host for us. And her cat, as well, who big blue-green eyes would fiercely stared back at us..

I remember the bus journey to Las Vegas with YinFong. I remember the heat that made my skin burnt and my nose bleed. And Yin Fong's sis and bro-in-law brought us around Las Vegas, shopping, Hoover Dam and Lake Mead..I could not thank them for more. I remember betting my first jackpot game at Luxor Casino and eventually won $8 bucks..haha. That was fun!

I remember my first sight of San Francisco when I walked up the stairs from Bart Station. I thought I was in New York. I remember the freezing moments at Fisherman Whraft, where Liren bought me knitted gloves to keep my hand warm. I remember Golden Gate, the Alcatraz view and the ever so beautiful San Fran Bay. What a picturesque view!

I remember of cuz, Disneyland, the land where "Dreams do come true". The best thing about Disney? The amazing fireworks above Disneyland Castle. I remember Universal Studios rides (Jurassic Park ride is awesome!!) and the studio tour. I remember being ON the set of Wisteria Lane in Desperate Housewives.

I remember taking the long bus ride to Home Deport just to watch David Beckham's LA Galaxy. I remember the super-duper fun Magic Mountain trip. It was one hell of rides for us!! I remember downtown LA, Santa Monica and Venice, Hollywood screaming at Daniel Radcliff, little Tokyo of cuz, Jersey Boys amazing performance.

And of cuz, I remember UCLA the most. My roomate Anne from Denmark. Rieber 6 South. The dining halls, my lecture halls, my lecturer (Prof Robinson and Prof Lew) and the moments I had with my friends and Liren. I will remember all of them.

On my way to LAX in Aunt Yen's car, I bid farwell to the beautiful Los Angeles sky. Got a bit teary here. I will definitely miss LA. And I will definitely be back in the future.

What an amazing 7 weeks journey.
