Dad - "So Winston, what's the in thing in San Francisco now?"
Uncle Winston - [Grins] "Baby."
Me - [Giggle]

Yes people I am back! From procrastinating this blog entry ( mostly because of pictures ) from this morning ( your night ) to now, night ( your morning. Afternoon, actually ).

Firstly, I am super-glad that I have brought my sketchpad and I've drawn lotsa lotsa lotsa pictures of lotsa lotsa lotsa things from lotsa lotsa lotsa areas of life.

Animals - Two squirrels, a cat, a fugly chihuahua ( the chihuahua is fugly, not my drawing )
Trees - Apricot ( plant/bush-thingy )
Sports - [Kick]Boxing ( sudden inspiration ), ( Logical progression ) Surfing ( I love this one because I drew stickmen. Lazy me )
Inanimate objects - Bags, shoes, trains, pencils, drawings of drawings, electrical sockets.
People - None. Nyahh.

Yes, I am that bored. However, Stephen King stories often contain Yin/Yang, Good/Evil Smart/Stupid, Emersius/Angus, WeiLiang+YangEn/Everyone else elements. And I mean elements as in objects, features. Although the Emersius Element would be Cute, the only smiley element. Kawaiiiiiiii worxors.

The Yang to this "Yin-ish" situation would be the lack of motivation to do my homework. Yes people, Linus has brought his Ten-Year Series A-Maths by someauthorIcan'tremember to do but unfortunately he is too lazy / too tired / jet-lagged / procrastinating and the book has not yet seen the light ( outside my bag ). This is very bad, because Linus has this super huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge pile of homework already lying back at home flirting with Boofie and my other assorted stuff toys dogs. He also has many camps ( ONE!!!!!!!! ) and activities ( Sleeping, Non-homework Stuff, CHINESE ORCHESTRA PRAC WADEHELL!!! ) waiting for him. Time is running away, fast.

I have PICTURES which we all know are bloody rare in my blog ( see: Laziness ) and you people out there better rejoice. Unless you're still stuck with a crappy 56k Dial-Up modem in which case I think the 54 images will cause major blow-outs. This should have been at the top of my post as a warning but it's too late now oh well :)

I don't think I'll actually go through all 54 images lah. It's like...Wah sian, must resize some more because Blogger's a bitch and will not automatically resize it to fit my blog. I don't care what people say. It doesn't. Stupid thing. Okok, time to resize this crap. You people better as hell appreciate this -.-"

Uncle Winston's house is huggeeeee and the room is niceeeeeeee =) Wanted The Fat to sleep with me because he makes a good heat-radiator but he wants to sleep with The Dad so I got Mum instead. Good trade, since I realized I can hear The Fat snoring from NEXT DOOR.

And by the way, it's pretty damn "Alphonsus" here. If you know what I mean.


Da (unused) formal dining room.


This was taken at 8.45++



Was pretty jet-lagged that night. Woke up at 3 a.m ( here) and chatted with Danial and Shervin. Refer to previous post for slightly more detail. Or just read on. Whichever.

Breakfasted that morning at Giant Chef which is some diner on some street. Pretty nice food, with absolutely lovely pancakes. These pancakes are freaking huge by the way. And freaking nice.


Giant Chef

We went Factory Outlet Shopping after that. Was rather disappointing since lovely GAP and Banana Republic were extremely limited in their fugly range of clothes. Fugly is all those outlets carry by the way. I'm talking shirts that stretch out of size within 2 seconds.


TimberLand



Random Shots ( the 2nd one refuses to be any smaller. Damn thing )

Blah blah blah after that came back slept slept slept. Went for dinner at...er.........er.......shit where did we eat I cannot remember blah blah blah blah blah..............Oh yes ok ok we ate roasted chicken and brocoli. However you spell that, vegetables have never been my forte I miss VSCO!

Wairrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Ok, second day was less jet-lagged.

Krispy Kreme donuts for breakfast :) These donuts are seriously the love. As in, the lurrvvbeeeeeeeeee.


Krispy Kreme. Mmmmm...Donuts...


The donuts themselves. Deliciousssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

When I found out we were going downtown via the San Francisco MRT System ( which is known as BART ) I will admit that I was less than enthusiastic about it. The jet-lag was still affecting me and the lack of sleep was surprisingly debilitating.


The station


The ticketing booth.Horrendously expensive by Singaporean standards though. US$8.80 for a trip downtown ( SG$13.20 )


BARTy


I miss VSCO.


Starting Station

Random shots on the train


Singaporean feeling





BART'd down all the way to Powell Station where we promptly went on to a CABLE CAR!


The queue...


See that line of people? That's about 1/3rd the line


Got fancy fancy GAP at the station outside somemore! SEXYYYY


Wah, a bit fanatical lah


All the birdssssss flying arounndddd

Oook Ook Ooi Ok K it's time to sleep because it's 11pm++ here and..

We're going up to Yosemite can't you see?
