I'm Back!

Steph sweetly made this 30 minutes video for The Nine's US trip, particularly in Oklahoma where The Nine was together everyday. (In the hotel, at least). A number of unglam photos, but these are the kind of photos you get when you travel with a bunch of friends, so just bear with it. But that's also the fun part! Hahahaha...




I miss the life there. Like Sam said in her blog, every single day we woke up in bed with a goal, an exciting plan running in our heads including where to go and what to do. Back in Singapore now, everyday I wake up and turn on my laptop, unsure of what I should or need to do. My luggages are half unpacked. I unpacked my "shopping and gifts" luggage I bought in Oklahoma, while my original luggage still sits there, waiting to be deported after getting striped of one of its wheels from violence in the process of struggling back to Singapore. After unpacking, I realized I really didn't buy that much for myself, I spent hundreds on gifts for people, as usual. Somehow, the thousands still dissappear mysteriously, even though I faithfully took down how I spent my every single cent until the last week, I gave up and focused on how much I have left to spend.

When I called Uncle Boon in Vancouver at LAX and told him about how much I'd enjoyed myself and not want to go back to Singapore, he says it's very different in a working environment in North America. But I still feel like trying, even though I'm not sure if I would at the end of the day. But I really hope to try working abroad, other parts of Asia would be fine too, cuz experiences make up what they call "life." ;P

Been fighting jet lag the past week, and finally managed to overcome it this week. Last week, I fell asleep at 6pm everyday and woke up naturally at 3:40am. It's neither my sleeping time in LA nor Oklahoma (according to their timezones.)

The photos are all being uploaded to facebook's photo albums. Just me alone took about 3000 pictures, plus the other 6 cameras from The Nine, we took about 15,000 photos for the entire month.

I actually missed the rest of The Nine when Jolene, Anais, and I arrived at Los Angeles and went separate ways from the rest. Even though Celest, Steph, Sam, and Daryl were in LA too, I still missed them, and James and Muneerah came back to the sunny island first. I love my Nine!!!

And I'll definitely miss jumping around. Absolutely love our awesome jumping shots!
Malaysia + United States of America = World Tour (wahahaha..That's what every celebrity do when they have many concerts in Asia, and just one or two concerts in US, they call it a world tour. So ours is a whole tour too!)
We shall go on a Singapore Tour soon! ;D

I learnt a lot and enjoyed this trip extremely. I just wished the trip could be even longer, like a year. It could be even better if I could go over to Canada to visit Uncle Boon and Carine. (I wished!)

Overseas trips with friends and families evoke different feelings, though they could be just as fun. With friends, you get more excitement going around feeling independent. On the other hand, with parents, you don't have to worry about finances at all, cuz Daddy takes care of everything. Wahahaha...

Hmm.. I think I've run out of things to say, for now. My random thoughts are never ending. Everyday I strain my brains thinking about things that would not realize. Of course I hope it would be realized, but looking at the way I'm not making any efforts to realise it, I guess I shall stop thinking about it for now. Bleargh... La la la la la~

Love,
Ching ;D
