san francisco day 4+5
san francisco day 4. we came back to san francisco from napa valley and there was a massive jam along I-80. :( i got bored in the car, so i took a few photos!  yellow school bus.  view from the side mirror. when we got to chinatown, we walked around for abit, then we had dim sum for lunch at this cafe called broadway dim sum and cafe.  the food was actually pretty bad. the siew mai was the size of a big rock. :( then we went to take a tram ride, the san francisco famous tram ride.  then to union square where we had shopping and awesome cheesecakes. on the 8th floor of Macy's, there's the Cheesecake Factory. and man do they have awesome cheesecakes.  the cheesecake factory  thats my oreo cheesecake.  and that's the fresh strawberry cheesecake. after that, we visited the apple store at stockton street.  it was nice, lots of people were in there. and i got my hands on the new magic mouse. san francisco day 5. had breakfast at the hotel, then we went to the apple campus. it was a half hour drive from our hotel, but it was well worth it. they had a company store there, the only place in the world where you could buy apple mugs and apple shirts and apple pens and stuff.  that's me at the entrance.  the company store. went in there, bought a shirt, mug and a pen and some mouse pads as gifts for some people.  the apple pen.  the apple pen in perspective.  the apple mug  the front of the shirt says : hello i'm a mac  and theres an apple logo on the back.  the mousepads in red and blue  the awesome plastic bag. then, we went to the intel museum, sorta like a visitor centre for intel. bought a couple of things too.  an intel mug.  a gel pen, this one was free.  and a magnet. free too.  yeahh intel. then we went to google, the didnt have a visitor centre but we walked around anyhow.  google logo. then on to stanford shopping centre, for sprinkles cupcakes. mum wanted to go there.  theres mine, peanut butter chocolate.  theres mum's, chocolate coconut  and dad's, orange raspberry. thats all for today, it's thanksgiving tomorrow.
san francisco day 2 + 3
hey, alright. i shall start using valid titles like the one above instead of stuff like "i'd rather pick flowers instead of fights".so, san francisco day 2. started off with us going to sunday morning flea market.  then we went to the gilroy premium outlets and that place was awesome! we spent a whole day shopping there. i bought new track shoes, adidas duramo 2 in red. pretty nice shoes.  adidas duramo 2. got this pair of shoes for USD$40, which in turn is SGD$55. i mean, it's cheap. i also got a pair of new calvin klein jeans for USD$20 which means SGD$27. for CK jeans? then we left the premium outlets and went for krispy kreme doughnuts! those rings make me happy. haha :)   san francisco day 3. we set off for napa valley and reached the napa valley hotel at 10am. check in, got all the procedures done, then we had a sub and set off for the wineries. the first one we went to was sterling wineries. they had a really good tour, bundled with a cable car ride up the hill and awesome views.   i didn't actually drink the wine, i was just holding the glass. the woman over the counter wouldn't let me drink any, she says i'm under 21. :(  really awesome views. then, we went to the Napa premium outlets. i got three nautica shirts, two long sleeved and one short.   the long sleeved ones were USD$25 for 2, which means SGD$34 for both.  and the short sleeved one was USD$8, SGD$11. tomorrow we'll be going to chinatown and lombard street. cheers, DARYL.
last day of the last week
hey! so some of you know that i'm currently in san francisco on vacation with my parents. :) it's an awesome place here. we arrived on friday, plane was early. the customs officer that was clearing us was wearing black motorcycle gloves, which made him look like some sort of monster with plasticky hands. anyway, we got through, duh. then we picked up our luggage and then picked up our car. the car was pretty awesome, at least it had all the I wanted. then we drove to our hotel, which we had some problem finding. after asking a petrol station and some random guy at ORACLE, we finally found our way.then we showered up and set off for Best Buy Mountain View. :) picked up our GPS, the Garmin Nuvi 255W and a dashboard mount. all for $210 inclusive of tax.  that's the GPS.  and that's me with the GPS. i look stupid in this picture. the set-up of the GPS was pretty simple, the initial satellite search took about 5 minutes, out in the cold weather. then we went to the mountain view walmart, and they didnt have stuff like eggs and shrimp so we went to safeway. they had everything we wanted so it was good. :) went back to the hotel and mum cooked laksa. wahahha. we used a premixed paste bought from singapore.  before  after. the laksa was pretty good! then we slept and i was having insomnia. woke up at 3am and couldn't sleep afterwards. second day. we picked up some muffins from the hotel cafe and then headed off to the GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE! haha, the drive was pretty smooth with the GPS guiding us. we the first one to arrive at the bridge, no one was there yet. :)    haha, epic. the place was really nice, and we had nice weather too. :) then we went breakfast. the parking near there was really lolcat. $10 per entry. had eggs with ham and potato for breakfast before getting on the cruise to alcatraz. alcatraz was a nice experience, no one could escape, at least i wouldn't try.    hahha alcatraz. then we went to fisherman's wharf, had fish and chips and calamari, shrimp and oysters. then we went back to the hotel and the rest of the day was slack. more photos will be uploaded onto facebook once i get home, the internet here is way too slow. till next time.
MIDNIGHT BOWLING. LITERALLY.
ayyy. yesterday, my parents and i went to the club to bowl.  when we booked on the phone, the guy told us it was $25 an hour, halloween special. so we didn’t really expect much, just ordinary bowling.when we got there, the bowling alley was dark! we thought it was some spoof or prank but it wasn’t. the guy told us every halloween they hold a special event where you bowl in the dark with ultraviolet lights that make stuff glow. it was way cool.
we rented our shoes and even the showlaces glowed. pretty nice experience though, at least for a change..  that was the bowling alley, all glowing and stuff. this shows that my camera sucks.  yeah. that’s all for today. hittin the hay just about… now. the end of something awesome
today was the last day at school and i guess it was pretty bittersweet. well for some of us, it was sad but for some it was really carefree and happy. also it was the last day together as the class of 2B ‘09. we’ve made some really good friends, but also those who aren’t as friendly.
thinking about going to a different class is really demoralising and all, but i guess i’ll just have to hope that the appeal goes through, or even better still, be posted to 3SB without any appeal. actually it’s too early to determine what class we’re gonna be posted to. looking at the level ranking is a really bad gauge. say your level ranking is 56, means you’re in the top 80! BUT if your maths and science <65, then you won’t even stand a chance of getting into a pure science class. for me, it’s 62 for both math and science. so so so so so near, yet so darn far. :(we did usual things today, last day of school. take pictures, behave ecstatically, and trying to get the whole world’s signatures in a day. here’s a picture i ripped off facebook,  hhahahhaa the 5 of us, awesomeness. bright and morning star
Today was a pretty alright day, started off with PE, we played ultimate frisbee which was quite a fail. After 2 points we stopped the game cause the teams were lob-sided and Nigel got injured. Then came history lesson, learnt about the voting stuff and the merger with Malaysia. Then recess, homec then art then literature. Boring stuff. Aww man, this post is such a fail. You’re probably snoring off now cause of the boring-ness of this post eh?
