Dear foodies,

I am back from L.A. !!! Overall it wan a fun, interesting, adventurous trip. I went there with only one of my girl friend, Michelle. We flew there and rented a car over there.

We stayed at this hostel at Hollywood on our very first day, as you see in the picture below, it's a very basic room, no TV and air-cond/fan and with a shared bathroom.
When I first arrived at the hostel, I did not like the feeling... So we asked whether we can cancel the room, but this means the deposit that i payed will be gone, so we decided we will only stayed there for a night. Oh ya before that, my friend actually flew back from Malaysia, and I met her in LAX. While waiting for her in the airport, i met this random Singaporean guy, chat a bit, and told me lots of stuff about L.A. Got some infos what cheap places to stay in L.A.


By the time my friend arrive, it's already 4:30 p.m. We went to the hostel first then we headed out for dinner. While walking on the street of Hollywood, we passed by Grauman's Chinese Theatre. There were lots of street performers and we got pull over by some of them!!! (which means need to bagi tips lor!!!)

We found this Italian restaurant which claims it self to be the oldest Italian restaurant in Hollywood. We both shared a pizza and a pasta, it was really good and surprisingly it wasn't really expensive. The total came up to $38 (tax & tips included). It cost somewhere around there if you eat in some western restaurant in Iowa.

Then the next day, we went to Wax Museum, Guiness World Record, Ripley's Believe it or not, Kodak Theatre. The we headed to Farmer's Market... lots of food!!! The Getty Museum... Preeeeety place!!!




On the third day, we headed to.............

We bought our lunch from this Flintstones place...

Then we had our dinner at this ramen place, it was really GOOD!!!

On the 4th day, we started our day by having dim sum for breakfast at this "very chinese" chinese restaurant...

Then, we headed to Quenn Mary which is located at Long Beach...



We even went to the submarine... where there are lots of lubang that we need to walk through...

After that we decided to head to long beach... but...the lifegurad at the beach told us that the water is polluted on that day and we can't go to the water...

And... my camera got NO MORE BATTERY, and I forgot to bring my adapter, threfore i can't charge my camera, so... gambar hanya sampai di sini.

Then the next day, we decided to head to the beach again, this time is Santa Monica. Had a great time over there...

The on the next day, we went to Disneyland... Don't worry there will be pictures for this later cos Michelle frien in L.A wnet there with us so we took some pictures using her camera but I have not got it yet. We stayed thre till midnight... EXHAUSTED!!!

We went back on the next day.

There goes my L.A. We did planned the trip initially, but we end up not following the itinery, hahahahahahhaha, so all the stuffs that we did are RANDOM!!!

OMG, it has been one month ago, but i'm still procrastinating on updating the winter break trip. Since it's a public holiday in Queensland today, hooorayyy!!!! I thought I might just update bit by bit...XD....I don't know what I'm up to, just plain busy these days with uni, assignments, placements and also busy having fun with all the events happening around in Queensland. I will update once I have the time to, that is when I manage to finish this winter break trip.

so on the second day, 12th of July 2008, I woke up around 10 am i think, had breaky and then both khai chin and I were waiting for Pizza to take us around to his uni, which is University of Sydney. Our plan for the day is just touring around the uni, then lunch at home, then Chinatown for groceries and shopping then dinner outside. Not much of a big plan as we were expecting the arrival of friends from Melbourne tonight.

Oh and I met up with vege for a short while in Chinatown, and she brought me shopping around...LOL...I managed to take a pic with her, but sadly she still hasn't send me the pic yet...u hear me, dear vege? love u...LOL

I'm lazy to write any more words, so I'll just show pictures with some captions. XD.
