San Francisco

I'm back in sunny singapore! Seoul & frisco were cold cold cold... This trip opened my eyes to many things... foreign discoveries not withstandin.. i'm startin to see the many facets of people. Some pleasant, some frightening... but many fake.

Oh well.. maybe it's XXX still haunting me... i can't get to sleep as yet. So let me indulge in my memories of San francisco..

 

The most comfy hotel bed i ever slept in... it was difficult gettin up for the next 2 days.

 

Fisherman's wharf.. we took the frisco bay cruise to see Alcatraz & the Golden gate bridge... it was a chilly morning & what better way to beat the cold than to have a steaming sourdough bowl of clam chowder? Absolutely yummy!!!

Californian sealions frolicking in the sun!

The world-famous Golden gate bridge... an engineering feat & one of the icons of America.

Huimin & I braving the strong winds... our fingers were practically numb but it's so fun to be doing touristy stuff with the girls.

 

We get ready to hit the shops. Endless shopping malls all beckoning us to go in... American sales service is surprisingly good... in every boutique we went to, the girls were friendly & hardworking. Our wallets worked hard too! Coach is so much cheaper there that i get yet another mini skinny in a different color i can't find in singapore. We all end up gettin the same thing except that celest bought a pair of sunglasses as well & huimin a wristlet... & so began the shopping spree. Victoria's secret next. Between the 4 of us, i think we bought enough panties to dress a family of 6 for a whole week. But everything is so pink & lovely that it makes u wanna just buy & buy! And then on to Abercrombie where we bought more clothes... but when yr feet threaten to stop walking u to the next boutique, u know it's time for a slice of cheesecake from the famous Cheesecake factory!

 

It's so popular that a private lift services the restaurant and snaking queues form around the lift faster than u can say 'to the top please'. Definitely a must-go!

ok my eyes are closing... need a good rest before i start the day. see ya later.
