Hi everyone,
I've been here in california for about 5 days i guess?
Its really beautiful here, the sky here is really blue, the clouds are really pretty and the air is fresh.
Sometimes it gets really hot here, even hotter than singapore, but well, sometimes the wind is really cooling.
We had our lessons here, its from like 8.30 to 4.30 each day. Actually everything we learn is similar to what we learnt in sp, hmmm just that i think the instructors here really explained everything well. Hmm, but since i've learnt those before, i really felt so sleepy during classes.
And anyway, we are all trying to maximize all our time here in california! Coz when we get to florida, most of us have different shifts and we dont really have the time to go out together anymore. The first day we arrived, we had our meals somewhere quite far from where we stay because the cafe isnt open. We had to walk 20 mins to get to the place. And then we did go opposite our apartment to get some necessities and walked around. Its a really nice place with a lot of stores and its so convenient. Yogurtland!!!! Their yogurt is so super cheap. In singapore, if u go to places like sogurt and maybe sour milk whereby they charge by weight, usually when i buy it its always at least $5? And over here, its only like about $2 plus or $3 plus!!
And anyway second day, we went to k mart, which is a hypermarket. Its big there and they sell almost everything. Their cosmetics is really cheap. The mascara and eyeliner i bought in Singapore for about 20 bucks cost about $7-$8 over here! But a pity i didn't get it, intend to go florida to get! I dont want to pay extra for my luggage being overweight!
Yeap, and day 3 and 4 was when we started lessons. And i think we did go opposite to walk again. And then day 4 we also went to k mart again after our lessons. This time round in a bigger group and we really went crazy! The guys were all trying the female footwear, wearing the high heels and i think they got scolded twice? And after so long, i finally went back to those times when i was like a kid, i just sat down inside the trolley with people pushing me around k mart. Okay it was kind of an embarrassment but americans don't really care that much. Unlike in singapore, i guess i'll already be on stomp? We made lots of noise there, but really, it was the most crazy and enjoyable grocery shopping trip i've ever made!
And today, we went to watch a movie! Woooooohoooooooooo my first movie in US. The movie theatres are quite cool, its like you can almost have the whole theatre to yourself. There's like less to 10 people when we got in?
Yeap i watched a horror movie though. Only girl there! Okay i'm such a brave girl hehe! :D
And now, taking some time off to blog here. Anyway just to say, the food here erm.... apparently isnt really nice. I'm quite sick of western food and my stomach gets upset this few days after eating the food. I guess i just hadn't adapt to the food here, i hope it gets better :X
Alright some pictures now before i go to bed. Its almost 12 and i have 8.30 lesson tml and i'll need to wake up really early for breakfast!
First meal in california, yes burger!
This is UCR extension, where we stay!
And this is my room. Its really simple, but also cozy.
See the clear blue sky with the white clouds? So beautiful isnt it?
And some self shots taken!
More....
This is my ID card. Okay i know it looks quite ugly. But im already quite lucky. Apparently for some people their photo got cropped until its only left with the face, and the face looks quite round.
And this is we girls out Regency theatres before we watched our movies today!
And that's just all for now. I'm kind of busy, so trying to maximize my time. I'll try to blog whenever i can, all other pictures are on fb! :D
Yeap see you guys soon, goodbye!! :)
