Hey all:) Haven't blogged for a loooong time. About two months. So to all those who have been constantly checking my dead blog for updates (especially you Jun Hui), I'm sooooo sorry!!! I was on holiday for almost three weeks, then I was tied down with start-of-school stress, and I am still stuck with dance almost everyday of the week. Thankfully it's no longer gonna be 6 times(counting SC Dance and my private ballet sessions), but has been reduced to 3 times a week. Still quite a handful.
Okay, where should I begin??? Fine, let's start with my rather blissful but somewhat scary holiday to Los Angeles - San Francisco.
It all started on the 12th of December, 2008. I had just finished performing in Dancepointe's ballet concert and was stilled mentally and physically exhausted from the preparations and the performance itself. Had to be bored to death by doing tons of props. We left S'pore at 10+ and that started our 21 hour flight to my first day in the USA. That sounds so grand.
Reached at about 11 in the morning in LAX, or Los Angeles International Airport. It's super duper plain compared to Singapore's lovely Changi Airport. According to my dad, it was under construction when he went there a long while ago. Guess what, it is still under construction in the same place as last time! How slow is that?
Checked out of the airport and took our first real breath and step into the beautiful city of Los Angeles. It was actually 15 degrees Celsius outside, just 1 degree lower than the temperature that my ballet teacher puts her air-con on to. Plus, I was wearing a short-sleeved tee. Amazingly, I wasn't THAT cold. We waited for our shuttle to the hotel, sitting on the mega-ultra cold metal seat.
The hotel we stayed in was GORGEOUS!!! It's not really a hotel per se, it's more like an apartment. There were 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, a dining room and a kitchen in it. Plus, we had complimentary breakfasts every morning, Plus we were really near to Hollywood, PLUSSS... we could order ANY snack we wanted from the hotel at any time FOR FREE!!! Isn't that SO COOL???
Sadly, we had to leave after 2 days and 2 nights of bliss. Then, the next exciting part of our trip was about to start.
I have to go now, will continue writing when I have time. Until next time, au revoir!
