My First Halloween Party!

Yeah, I had always wanted to attend a Halloween Party or organize one ever since I was a kid. I read storybook and watch TV about Halloween before and I always thought that its so fun. You can pretend to be someone else. You get to dress up, or get to look terrifying without anyone looking weirdly at you. Its a day to let loose and have a bit of fun. I think its the most fun for kids, as they get to treat or tricks. They will be able to get so many candies, which I think they could never finish.

I never get a chance to celebrate halloween in Singapore as there are nothing much going on, except for clubbing. Over here in US, there are so many things to do, you will see a lot of costumes for you to choose from, and they are not too expensive too. All the spooky decorations available, so I really can't resist not holding a party. I would only get a chance to do it when I am here, where supplies are readily available.

We spend the previous day decorating our house, with spider web, black light and pumkins. The whole effect is really nice. :) Am really satisfied with it. Hehe. We had a spider hiding in the toilet to scare people, which is activated by loud sound, but it was not successful. It did not managed to scare anyone due to twinkle's barking. Haha. Before they go to the toilet, they already know there is something going on in the toilet as there is sound when it is activated. Haha. Twinkle lor. So noisy.

Coach Bags

Bought these Coach Bags during my trip to LA. If anyone is interesting in the bags, do let me know, I will send you with more details. If anyone wants to buy any particular design, just send me a picture of it, and I will keep a lookout for you. :)

The Fireworks at Disneyland is the best I have ever seen!!! The fireworks together with the music is just amazing. There are so many different themes, with the fireworks according to the music. The lights of the castle is ever-changing. It is a truly magical moment. It lasted for quite long too. I think about half an hour. Its quite hard to get a good spot too, as a lot of people has been there to book a space for the fireworks quite a long time beforehand. If you guys ever come to Disneyland, the fireworks is really not to be missed.

Weendend trip to Los Angeles (4)

It would be so fun to come Disneyland as a child, you can pretend to be anyone that you want. There are so many princesses dresses to choice from for the kids and you can be a fairytale princess for the day. Too bad i have grown up already, just wore this hat for fun for a while only. Haha.

Weekend trip at Los Angeles (3)

On our Second day, its Disneyland's time! Before we set out for Disneyland, we had breakfast at our hotel, Lemon Tree. We had some cereal and yogurt.



The drive to Disneyland is only about five mins away, the parking system over here is quite amazing, as there is so many ppl, its like you have to queue to park, there will be someone directing you where to park. The parking lot is neatly packed with cars. So the car in front of you will be parked next to you. Its so systematic. But the parking is quite expensive. After which we took a tram to the entrance of Disneyland. Look at the cap that my Dear Dear is wearing, its a CK cap that we bought at Desert Hill. It only last for a few hours. Hehe. Entering into Disneyland, we explored around, its so huge. We went on our first ride in Disneyland. Its like those flight simulator, Dear Dear put his cap on his knee, then at the end of the ride, it was nowhere to be found. we tried to search for it, but could not find it, then we got to exit fast, as the next group of people are coming to take the ride. Its gone just like that. So fast. Later on during the day, we bought another cap that is also nice, 'the grumpy cap'.



Look, my ears are about just as big as Jumbo.



Lunch Time! The food here is so good! Yummy Yummy! The style is abit like food court, where is self service, but the food is really amazing. I think its the tastiest food i have taste since i reach US. We had pasta and salad. The portion is so big. Luckily we only took one pasta to share and we already ate till very full.



There are lots of shops in Disneyland, and almost everyone of them has something that is different from the other shops, so its not like everything is the same, unlike universal world in australia. We had lots of fun exploring the shops and trying out all the stuffs there. like this super big hat that the whole face can go it. My Dear Dear look so funny in that.

Weekend trip at Los Angeles (2)

Finally we reach our hotel at five, the hotel room is very spacious, unlike in Hong Kong where it is so cramp. The Fridge is not like the tiny mini ones, its about the size of our normal household size. Then I went online to check for updates on Twinkle. I wanna know that Twinkle is ok if not i will keep on worrying about Twinkle. Got a email from the host family and am glad to know that twinkle is coping well in the house and is enjoying herself. Then I check online to see if there is any event going on nearby, as it was 4th of July. There will be fireworks at around Long beach area, so off we went to Long Beach for some fireworks



When we reach Long Beach, it was so lovely, then i realized that it has been quite a while since we have been to the beach, there is no beach in Arizona, only desert. So its so nice and relaxing to be at Long Beach, we saw quite a number of dogs, there is this area that is a dog area, for them to run around without lease. Then i thought of Twinkle, could have brought here there if she came with us. We walk around the area, waiting for the fireworks to start, then we thought of having dinner first. We went to this restaurant that looks nice, but we were told that we got to wait for an hour as they are packed. We cant wait if not we would have missed the fireworks. So instead we went to the supermaket and get some sandwhiches to eat while watching the fireworks. The fireworks is actually quite far away, not like in Singapore. So its quite small. Hehe. But there were really fireworks everywhere. So many events going on at different places. Where we turn to our opposite side, we can also see fireworks. but they are all tiny. Haha. Nevertheless, it was a great night. Watching fireworks at the beach is nice.

I got to go cook already. Will update again on our trip to Disneyland! :)

Weekend Trip to LA!

On the 4th of July, we are set out for our trip for LA,we got to wake up super early. About five plus we began our journey. We started of with breakfast at Mac. Still Singapore breakfast taste nicer. I ate sausage Mc Muffin, but Singapore one is tastier. I miss Singapore's food so much. Then we started our super long Journey to Desert Hill, which is a Factory Outlet, at California. It took us nearly four hours just to reach there. As it is 4th of July, a Holiday, they have summer sales. So things are a lot cheaper. Its the second factory outlet that we went, and it was so much bigger than the one we went in Arizona. The Cheapest thing that I bought is a Gap tank top which only cost US$1.50, can you believe it? Haha, so Cheap. Their sales are really good. I bought a similar top at the first outlet when i first came here. It cost about US$10 then. The sales here is crazy. We shop till about mid-afternoon then we got to go already, if not we will reach the hotel very late, and we have not even shopped finish yet! The place is too big. Then we continue our journey to our Hotel, about another 2 more hours to go. So much time spent traveling. There was this freeway where we keep on seeing mountains and valley and the road is not straight. Quite scary and exciting. Its like the roads that you see in racing game like that. Hehe.

Geez, some problems with loading the other pics, will continue another day. :)
