12-21feb DME IAH
ok since im still freakin awake at like 4+ in the morning, i might as well write a journal on my recent trip. this major jet lag is killing me. 2 continents, 2drastic time change! omfg...
well before starting off this trip it was such an annoying task to juggle my FYR and application of forms, visa, tickets for this trip. the russian visa was one hell of a challenge. well if ever you guys r doing free and easy russian tour and dnt wanna pay travel agents such a retardedly high commission then jus let me knw! jzz... these agents are sucking people money off! thankfully i found another way out of it.
ok jus wanna touch lightly on my report. im rather proud of it considering i changed the report 4 times and its not jus minor but MAJOR! the last night before handing up was such a nightmare, no sleep, no food, jus wan it to be done well. i rmb i was really weak after priniting out the report, haha was about to faint so to speak. thankfully during the interview process i asked on how i fair on my report and i got "above avg". well nothing to be proud of but im jus proud that i did it even though how tired i was.
back to the trip. this is my lastest addition from the SQ flight pattern, SIN-DME-IAH-DME-SIN. seriously as a traveller its one hell of a tiring journey, dnt knw how the cabin crew manage to stay alive. well i had been to moscow before hence there wasnt much for me to see except for the first time in my whole life that i got to see snow! loads and loads of it! it was -3 degrees there about. its mum and sis's first time to the historical city, guess they liked it too considering the laughter we had while in the hotel room. haha! i kept farting and farting and farting. on the aircraft, the streets and then the most confine area of all... the ROOM!!! haha surely i got a scolding session from my family... but hey! people love smelling the atomic bomb! haha!
hehe i was really happy to see snow... you knw walking on snow is like walking on ice kachang... haha! what a comparison! but yea that what it feels to me. oh yah a note, russians jus look firece but they are really kind hearted when you get to know them better. i guess it was the harss communist governing that made them like that. i spoke to a russian lady while coming back from moscow, she said that 17years ago she had to come to singapore to by a TV as the country doesnt sell it at all... wow! thats rather shocking considering i was watching "disney club". but it was an experience that is worth remembering.
on to houston, this city is the most boring place ever. dnt knw y the airline pick it as one of their ports. the city is business orientated there isnt much diversity. hmm personally i feel that should a port be successful its should first be able to attract mass tourism. so there you go, such a niche market. oh and on the way up we saw alot of vietnamese. hmm they live there? dnt really knw. throughout my whole trip we jus had fast food after fast food after fast food! the pimples were poping out on my face! haha that said, i must reccommend IHOP restaurant! its a great american fastfood outlet. oh, talking about IHOP we had a wonder waitress who engaged in conversation with us. she said so are you guys from town? then she looked at us again and like "what the hell am i talking about, like DUH~" haha! she realised that DUH~ we r surely not locals. even now im laughing as the scene keep on replaying on my mind, dam its funny. oh yea... shopping was awesome! their factory outlets r way better than LAX & NYC combine! well thats what i feel...
well thats all for the trip. will be leaving for HKG & MFM on 26feb, CHC SYD & MEL on 3march and finally EURAIL backpacking trip from 18march.
thats all folks! ciao!
