Travelogue : Trip to US-Korea 2006 (Part 3)

i know that this post is loooooooong looooooooooong overdue ... but hey! at least I am making effort right??? ;))

I stayed in Anaheim Hills (which is in Orange County) where one of my cousins is (the rest are scattered all over) because she's getting married :)

this was where I stayed when I was in Anaheim

I was supposed to head over to San Francisco to see the Golden Gate .... BUT ..... I didn't (due to time constraints). If we went down to SF, we probably couldn't make it back in time for my cousin's wedding in Riverside.

So it's "bye-bye" to SF and "hello" to ...

San Diego
:D

The San Diego Aerospace Museum

The Hotel del Coronado *dreamy smile*

Mom and I taking a shot at the dreamy haven of a hotel

Mom was like "all right, all right, enough with the photos! I'm hungry!" See the pained expression on her face??? Hmmph..

This ship was apparently used in some movie or another -- I was told when I was there but I have forgotten...

This was where we had our yummylicious lunch! :D

A flower made from a stalk of leaf

There was this man sitting by the side of the restaurant making miscellaneous shapes from leaves and he gave this to me...

After we left San Diego's Maritime Museum and Anthony's, we proceeded to San Diego Old Town where we got a glimpse of what San Diego was like back in the olden days:

The buildings there are all single storey and the base used for building is MUD! can you imagine that!? It will corrode with time (the rain and wind)...

Also, it seems that most these buildings are authentic! They were specially 'lifted' from their original location and flown and deposited here to create "San Diego Old Town"

O.o Amazing, ain't it?

My last glimpse of San Diego Old Town before I headed back to Orange County...

It's been a while...

It seems like eons since I last updated my blog... It's just that I have been so busy lately that I barely even have the time to sleep, much less have the inspiration to write anything witty or funny here. But I so friggin' miss blogging!!!!

My daily routine runs along the lines of this:

Wake up -- reality dawns that I slept like a log and slept thru the alarm -- jump outta bed and take a quick bath (for those who know me, you know how challenging it is for me to take a quick bath!) -- try to find something decent to wear and gussy up for work -- drop ChinAun off and head off to work -- get stuck somewhere along Old Klang Road and curse those damn drivers who can't stick to their own damn lanes -- reach office and reply emails, chase suppliers, attend meeting after meeting after meeting and do just about everything else too -- then, whaddaya know, it's 7pm! -- try to finish up as much as I can before I pack up and head home -- Federal = TRAFFIC JAM, Jln Templer = TRAFFIC JAM *curse* Take Kerinchi Link and waste RM1.60 -- Fetch ChinAun -- grab dinner -- head home -- bathe (a longer, more leisurely bath :p) -- dry hair -- damn! it's 12am! -- SLEEP....

and wake up the next morning to the same routine...

but of course, the routine differs sometimes... I may head to work but then get to go for trade visits and all... and sometimes, I don't use Old Klang Road to go to work but take NPE and waste another good RM1.60. And sometimes, when I get so weary, I pack up by 6:30pm and head on home for some rest. That is generally what my life has become... I live solely for weekends... Sure, most of the times, I love my job... but I get tired too... so I guess I'm only human.. At least I no longer wake up in the morning and go "Hm... I wonder if I can pull off a sick-leave today?".. more like "Shit, I better get to work early and get -whatever it is that I am supposed to do- done before the meeting at 10am".

I'm a corporate slave!!!

*break into pitiful sobs*

I miss sleeping till noon and those times when I can laze around at home and watch tv-series with Jiun... or sit tapping away on the comp sending long crappy emails to Mel and BeeSung. I still sit tapping away on the comp at work, just for a range of different reasons *hmmph*

But I guess working here and the things that I do... They do give me a sense of gratification that I have never known before...

Anyways, just for formalities sake; here are some LOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGG overdue photos that I took last year on my trip to US and Korea...

Photos taken during my cousin's wedding at Mission Inn:

Mom and I in the "President's Chair"

Dad and I in the same chair ;)

Promise to update my blog again soon...
