  While in Vietnam last February I read a review on TravBuddy that Liz (Quest) had written about a bar in Huntington Beach called Johnny's. Around midnight each Thursday, the granite bar-top is set ablaze while 'Ring of Fire' by Johnny Cash blares on the juke box. Liz happened to still be vi…

I have always wanted to visit here. I have been to the Getty Malibu before. I waited until the hyped died out. even years has pasted I would put it off. Then I moved to vegas and is when I decided I need to come here. I spent the whole day here. I took wonderful photos of the inside, grounds, and t…

We are so ready for today to come.  Actually for the last ten days we have been saying to ourselves, “this sure looked good on paper, but boy will it be good to get home!” :) We got up and packed and went down for one last very good breakfast at the best hotel we have been in.  Eggs …

Vacation trip...

The American dream. New York, California, road trip, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Hawaii..

In case anyone's wondering why my blogs have stopped, its because Im actually back in LA. Decided to take a detour and return for a while. Got really lonely on the road by myself and I needed to be near some good friends. Maybe someday Ill continue, but for now...

Our flight was in the evening so we had a wander round the Old Town. Not really an old town as you would find in any European City but more a group of shops and buildings done up as there were. We looked around the court house, dentist, sweet shop and old school and it was quiet interesti…

I apologize to those of you who regularly read my blog and haven’t seen anything new since February in Australia.  Then again, if you're reading this entry, you are probably someone who reads my blog regularly and/or you gave birth to me.  I don't think I do justice when I rip throug…

This is now the day after a not so small mini-meetup in Santa Monica, CA. I get up from being out not too late...about 3am returning home. The usual stuff happens...breakfast, shower.....the usual stuff. I call over to Eli.....he is soon to be a Californian by proxy, but still new to the Califor…

I spent the weekend in L.A., hanging out with my aunts who live there. Mostly it was a family visiting type of trip, lots of eating in and hanging around at the apartment...but we did venture out a few times in to the great, wild, urban jungle to have some fun. We went to this one club, and for som…

I have to dedicate this blog to my friends who made my US trip possible and memorable. Nick - my partner in crime here in Singapore and without him, I wouldn't have gotten my US visa. Jie and Ron - my best buds who showed me what Vegas is all about. France and Redge, my 'fabulous' tour guides who …

the hostel offered a walking (!!!) tour around bel air and beverly hills - a must do, considering me wanting to leave los angeles on glamorous terms :) and as soon as you are in beverly hills you step into a new world: the grass is green, the birds are singing, people are cleaning and the homeless …

If you've read any of my previous blogs, you'll have noticed that almost every trip I take involves a stop at Peet's Coffee before I leave. At the risk of sounding like a Peet's salesman (or Peet's addict), I reluctantly admit that this trip was no different. On the way to the airport, I got my usu…

Tuesday is the last day of Goldfishflosser, he will be leaving Wednesday to UK. His flight is at 8:00am but the girls including me,Joy and Rob wanted to do something for him for his last day.Tracy took the time off and was kind enough to show Goldfishflosser around during the day.Everyone's  w…

I expected to be stuck in traffic for the late afternoon/early evening ride home but the traffic was very light...what a relief.  I don't think I would have been able to stay awake if we were in bumper-to-bumper traffic.  Aside from dodging merging 18-wheeler trucks, the brief sandstorm, …
