Labour Day Weekend

Yupe. This was supposed to be a post from last week but somehow I just couldn't figure anything to write. (Lazy to be exact.) So yea, apparently, americans have their labour day on every first monday of September. It was scheduled this way so that everyone, white or blue collar workers, will get to spend a long weekend with their respective families. Therefore, a family-less me went to walk around the town because I had nothing else better to do because class hadn't start I wanna show my dearest F&F back in Malaysia the place I'm currently staying in. So less words, more pictures!

Machine Store


Gap store


It's a big city and I can't wait to explore more. Not to forget about my very own country, Malaysia, Selamat Hari Raya~ Let's hope the bad news will stop for good and we shall all move forward to a better future.

(p/s: Pics courtesy of google image. I didn't really go to all the places. Haha. I was laid back home for labour day weekend.)

Ultra City Tour

Yay~ Finally get to go out and meet some new friends today as I joined the sitting in the bus Ultra City Tour organized by the Academy. It's a tour for all the new students, who mostly are new to the city, to take a ride around the town. I can't really remember all the places we visited because we were only sitting in the bus while Etta, our tour guide for the day, explained to us the places and stuffs.
Pictures from top of the hill:



Then we got on the bus and passed Golden Gate Park, which led us to the Golden Gate Bridge.


Group pictures: Dawna, Sean and Douglas. (We are all in different majors. Haha)



Such a great yet exhausting day trip. Guess that's all for today.

Good Morning San Francisco

Most of you already knew I landed in San Franc safe and sound via facebook not too long ago. Well, life has been a bless thus far. I can't really ask for more. I have this very nice and friendly auntie taking care of me while I'm here.

There are some interesting stuffs I would love to share: in the State, they have this carpool system whereby people can carpool with strangers to get to the city. Why would drivers want to fetch people they don't really know? Haha. Answer is they get to skip the traffic lanes and avoid the toll once they have more than 3 passangers in the car. Brilliant idea right?

Another place I visited today was the farmer's market. They are extremely cheap. And if you are just broke that day, you certainly can visit the market to get free samples and eat all you want. That's what I did today. Settled my lunch with food samples. Haha. And then they have a store, like a local mart, that solely sells their own brand's products. The red wine they produced, priced for 1.99USD only. Hard to imagine right? And they have free coffee for everyone. So the good plan is, go to grab something to eat in the market, get a coffee from the store, your lunch is settled. Haha. Pretty amazing.

No pictures taken yet because I forgot to bring my camera out for the past two days. Maybe tomorrow. Till then, bye and sweet dreams.

#1 Stop

Since my result was kinda contending for the worst result of the year (sigh), I took my TINY semester break and went on this trip. Much tense released now. Gonna update when I get back. (Confession of a shopaholic: H&M is freaking cheap here!)

Small town

Freaking H&M Stores everywhere!!

Not to forget the warmest Starbucks..



The place here wasn't totally off, literally, for Earth Hour as I wish it would, just some significant buildings here and there. Haih.. Thought walking in the dark would be fun. Wakaka
