Finally, A Vacation Post!

Music: Jon McLaughlin - So Close
Mood: Great!
Random Note: I am attracted to beeping buttons

I've finally gathered some discipline to sit down and do some posting! This will be the first post since my departure from Sydney! I hope everyone is doing fine ^^

(Wow...as I was typing, I realised how much I have not used my mind for a while. Having trouble churning out words haha!)

It's really hot here in sunny California =) Now when I say hot, I really mean HOT XD Kinda like an oven if you get what I mean.

It's my third week in the states, and I must say this is probably one of the most relaxed moments of my life ;) I'll wrap up some thoughts and then try to do some coverage on the events here. It will take a while before everything could be done, so bear with me for a while aight?

All that work to get myself to say yes to the trip was definitely worth the while. Honestly, I was really stressed out over things. Well, the weather in Sydney was really cold and I couldn't concentrate. I was a nervous about the whole wedding thing. I could not get my mind down to work, and it really was just all inside my head, constantly pricking my senses.

As a result, I did not perform well in my finals (thank goodness my results weren't just pass)...I was contemplating whether or not to be upset when I actually saw them. I guess it could have been much worse. I know I can do better, and I will work even harder this semester. Hey, make use of the opportunities given to me right? I only hope my family will not be upset at my scores...

I remembered leaving for this vacation feeling so down. I never told anyone about it, but it was like a constant state of misery. Well, I'm glad that a lot of the negative feeling is gone! =) Life is full of ups and downs.

So let's start with the day I set out! The feeling of travelling alone by myself kinda rox! XD I mean, there is no rush, no need to worry, just pure sights and fun. I remembered roaming around the Sydney airport and thinking 'wow, this is so oooo~'. Haha!

The flight to San Francisco was really tiring. I do not really enjoy plane rides (unless the plane has entertainment provided like SQ's A380s), but I must say United Airlines was pretty okay! In terms of service and cabin conditions, I thought it was pretty good. I got to sit beside 2 american teens, both female. One took my pillow and the other took me blanket. Haha~ this story is definitely more interesting if I could tell in person =)
