This long long post will be about myy trip to houston. YAY ;DD.
do take note, the dates are 1 day before singapore, which means let say i put 23rd november it would me 24th november in singapore ;D
lets start !

23rd november.




SURVIVED the freakkyy longgggg flight towards houston, transit at moscow and boyy, the language used in moscow russia was like totally different okay, i wonder how am i ever going to learn and survive in that country if i ever migrate there which i obviously would not. Anywayy, the plane ride from moscow to houston was super lousy, i hate it, seriously. Super desperate for water cause its super dry in the plane and did not have the feel to watch any moviess, althought its pretty cool based on the fact that they had some of the latest movie which means the newest was the dark knight, which i wanted watch last time but could not.
Arrived say around 3+ pm there, check in and pop by over at my aunts place, AND ETHAN ! goshh, hes only 5 weeks old and confiment period was already over so cann go out, dam cute super look like his father = yi zhang. Had califonia pizza and it was beautiful, there was this eggroll with curry and other spices in it which was simply delicious when combined with 1000 islands sauce. HAHAHA, after that played wii with sis and dad until say 11+ ? than aunt fetch us home. Sleep ;D


24th november
Woke upp, bath-ed and i went over to yiyi's house again, though i remebered we did something before that like shopping etc etc. Only remembered we lunched and dinner out only and played wii again. HAR, was planning what to do for tomorrow and the next few days that were to come! shopping and stuff. Hmm, i cannot really remember the details for this one.


25th november


This day would have to be on of the best days in houston. SHOPPING. yes i know, shopping. its fun okay. Went over to tjmaxx which sold branded stuff but then at a SUPER CHEAP price, and its still real okay, which in other words, discounted branded stuff. But of course, lunch was served first. had thai cuisine, and the plate of rice shaped with a heart is like rice and its REAL. thats my plate okay! beef, curry, brocolli, fish etc etc and the crab fried rice was superb ! The crab meat is in CHUNKS, chunks you know! and i think its rather cheap there. the curry practically turned me off abit cause there's lots of coconuts and its super thick so yes, i had little of that. ;D. Than we shopped at tjmaxx, bought an element shirt while dad mum my yiyi's husband mother (aunty) as we adress also bought shirts and all that jazz. Spent like 2+hours there before heading to
Best buy. Okay this part here rocks, because yiyi's car could not fit everybody, me and dad was like the first 2 to go over first since i was the one which needed to see some stuff ;D. So headed there, and its big, i agree, its cheap, i super agree ! best of all ? there's these free try outs at the back of the shop. u got to love it, dad was playing wii cart while i was busy drumming and strumming the drum and guitar. got to totally love it. we actually had to leave like in 30mins, but that 30mins soon because an hour plus cause yiyi had to like feed the baby and cause the baby slept = hard to move around. Best buy over, headed to
Galleria. I dun remember us buying any clothing's here though ;D. We just walked around look see look see only. Had dinner at chills, guess what, while waiting for the food to arrive i was like sleeping and dozing off. cause hey im tired. when the dinner came, i bite the chicken and than i knew,
i chose the wrong food.
dam
mum had this bowl filled with melted cheese or something. LOL, she practially said, i'm not going to eat that, and the bowl was left there to rot, i quickly gave her my chicken and whatever there, cause its not nice ;P. Dad had the best, pork ribs !
We had trouble finding our way back to the hotel, we had to walk cause we aint familiar with the places and we almost got lost, but sister was suddenly so smart and knew the way back, amazing ;D. reach hotel already, boom. dead

26th november




Had something for breakfast which i think its maggie mee, but that aint the point. Went over to holister musem to learn about the conflict between the jews and the nazi's. Seriously very sadd-ening and i must say, there are many things in life that we are unaware of but they are there. Har, and while im at it, i realise i could actually use these stuffs to help link in my ss when they go examples. Awww, but seriously. Humans do get traumatized over war. Its scary and bloody and saddening.
Anyway did not stay long, sis was scared so we pop by at the museum of natural science. Had macdonalds and then bought tickets to body of natural science. It was said that this museum was very very good and seirously it was DAM good. They had not skeletons but instead REAL humans where their fats were being sucked out and undergo a process called plastinication to achieve some sort of solid home home, And thus, beneath out fats, are red stuff. And than i was looking at every humans private parts, i mean the dick and balls. LOL. but really, very extradordinary
And if there is 1 thing i still remember, it would be
I now begin my journey to the sinking sun
But for you, the journey to the breaking dawn has just begun
Notice the words being and begun. ;D
Finshed, yiy fetch-ed us and we headed to
Souper salads. This would most probably be the worst dinner i ever had. All they served was salads and soups which i dun take salads and their soups dun keep me full. its hell, i would not be able to survive in the us mann. The rest had fun eating it. ROAR


27th november




Never ever tell us people 7 person needs a taxi if NOT, problem arises. Why ? cause drivers themselves are considered 1 person, so today we wanted to head to had chinese vietnimanse buffet and a 6 person seater taxi came and obviously we could not take that taxi since we had 7 people excluding driver which we DID not know that driver was considered a person cause in singapore normally we say taxi of 4 you see. So yess, argue and stuff. and a 8 person taxi came (including the driver). Its kinda true though, driver is also a person, and should be regarded as one but heyy, who would have thought of it.
Driver was kinda cool, came from ethopia. Pop by at the chinese buffet and the driver waited for us to finsh which we took an hour plus, meanwhile the meter fare was running which was kinda atrocious. Cause we aint in the taxi. There was a better way round which we had to us 200 bucks for the whole day and so we took that one, cause 54 bucks in 2 hours was not worth it. converting back to singapore 54 divide by 2 plus 54. s$81. want our life isit ><. BUFFET WAS DAM NICEEEEEEE, wanton mee rocks, doughstick rocks and duck rocks. headed to Houston space centre, cause that was a MUST see attraction in houston. Those rockets like apollo 1-14 currently i think was all launched from houston. I think they chose houston as a platform to launch their rockets into space cause i think its a good spot. Its kinda cool to see how rockets were being made and astroanuts reciveing the HELL in a life time training. Got to see the rocket that successfully made it to the moon, go so near to it, refer to photos above. And do you know, when astronauts die, they actually made a area where they grow trees n memory of them. They were remembered, loved and can be said already attained accomplishment in the life though of course only gaining recognition after their deaths. like say mozart is another example. Its nice, a circle of trees, and bush once stood there and actually gave a speech. wow. yizhang came back from france today and then we all went out for malaysian cuisine. We wanted to dabao back but decided to all eat out. Mum and dad and aunty went shopping at the shopping centre opposite and bought ALOT of stuff. Food was at least better than yesterday ;D. Back to hotel ;D

28th november
HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY! its a big event for them. Shops were ALL closed the roads was FILLED with cars, local RARELY walk on the streets. People found in the park. Thanksgiving day was sort of like a reunion for their families and stuff. So we had went over the yiyi's place but firstly pop by at the supermarket store to get our lunch. Alot of vaierty but yiyi told me to go eat sandwich, in which i was like, what ?!?!? sandwich for LUNCH ? than when i saw how tremendously BIG those sandwiches words, i ate my words. crap, 3 inches and 6 inches long, i even had diffcuility BITING it okay, its hard. Had my own mix and match, i wanted something light, so i like choose ham out of chicken salmon beef and stuff. turns out? The lady put his hand in the ham, grabbed a holy shit amount of it and place it on my 3 inch bread. i was like, please stop putting already, stop stop. But its nice ;D,and luckiliy i chose the correct bread cause mine was to be eaten cold, some was meant to be hot.
Went back yiyi's place and her husband = yizhang decided to cook turkey for dinner. so yess, i saw how he stuffed FOOD into the turkey through the asshole, lookss kinda fun. LOL, slept for like 2 hours in the living room before eating. Turkey was SUPERB, apple celery by yiyi was SUPERB, beehoon by aunty was nice. there were meatballs and stuff but nah, turkey would do fine. Its beautiful i love it ;DDDDDDDD. Back to hotel. ;D


29 november

BEST DAY IN THE WHOLE TRIP. aunt brought us to this houston shopping outlet somewhere on the outskirts of city i think. come on, i spent a full whole day practically shopping with mum. Bought shoes shirts hoodies sweaters perfumes (yes i was forced to buy because its cheap) socks etc etc etc. Nothing much to say about this one. Simply PERFECT ! though it rained but it was okay. A big burn in the pocket today though cause we bought really alot of stuff! Its worth the money! i converted the us to singapore money already so everything is calculated in singapore
EG -
Levi's jeans. Crocs
singapore 100 over bucks singapore 100 over bucks
houston 50 bucks houston 60 over bucks

Perfume, BLV Coach
singapore 2 for 180 over bucks singapore rangning from 200-1k plus
houston 2 for 90 bucks houston ranging from 50 - 200bucks

Raupl lauren GAP
singapore no idea how much but mum said ex singapore 120 over bucks + + +
houston 40-90 bucks houston 50 over bucks + + +

so like DUH ? a normal person would definately shop and spam here right, HAHA ;DD
Everybody bought super lots of stuff and calculated over everything was like we spent 700 us there = 1050 singg, but hey 2nd last day already so can buy ;D. Finshed and headed to
Some restaurant i forgot the name but it serves vietnam cusine again. Its nice ;D, had pork chop
yizhang brought me and my sis to some sort of yogurt / icecream shop, we had like to mix and match the frozen yogurt which tasted like icecream and that there was a big amount fruits and nuts chips to put on it. Frozen yogurt totally changed my opinion on yogurts ;D Mum dad and aunty went shopping at galleria and macy's. Reach hotel room, straight to bed. ;D. great day


30th november

Another outlet shopping. LOL. But this time i din really buy anything already except for some collar shirt at nautica so yes, i had my fill already. Mum on the other hand spent a whole 1and a half hours in polo raulf laruen SHOPPING. like spent a whole 200 over bucks there. And there was this arguement to get a 20% discount. which yay, we had it cause of some strange things happening at the cashier there ;D.
Had peking duck for dinner and its super nice. Reminds me when i had beijing kao ya. thought not the same taste but still its nice. And i learned that normally chinese food are very salty and really had the taste of mabo toufu. hotel ;D


1st december


Back to singapore already today, but mum was funny, still want to shop. So we headed to another small outlet. Bought perfumes and presents for aunty and uncles in singapore and headed over to the airport, said a farewell to yiyi, and thanks alot for driving us around in houston, really appreciated ;D. see you back in singapore during chinese new year ;D. Then the joke came,
i realised i haven buy presents for andy and yanheng yet. ><
so i quickly went to the nearest stall, hunt for mugs and saw these 2 for 10 bucks, so just nice buy 2 and YAY, settled. HAHAHA.
Flight back to singapore wasnt that bad, had a nice time watching all the movies playing psp, and the food in houston back to singapore transit at moscow, totally aint nice -.-



SO THERE DONE ! Thats all ;D
Its kinda air con temeprature back there but than it can really get cold like lower than 10 degrees. The people there are super friendly, they can smile at you for no reason, ordering food was hell for me cause i had to go and try to understand what the cashier is telling me
There was once i order from burger king..
I wanted the bk chicken meal and just the bk fish.
I told the cashier, hello, erm i would a bk chicken meal and a bk fish, just the burger will do.
She said !%U&#%! ?
I was like huh ? sorry can you repeat, i repeat
She said that's it ?
I lag 2 sec, er yea that's it -.-
After that when i was served bk chicken meal was there, but there was a burger and 2 drinks without fries, dam she left out the fries and when i looked at the recipet it aint there -.-

When asking something..
There was once i wanted to ask something from addidas shop
I approached the salesman,
excuse me, erm i would like to know how much this shirt cost cause the price tag aint there.
He said alright sure, took the shirt and checked but to no avail
Then he said, hey i was not able to find the price of this shirt, why not you get me a another one of the same design so that i could check it for you.
I said oh okay, thank you
Then he said, heyhey, you understand what i mean (with the accent)
I was like yea -.-

And also eh, the food there when you order and could not finsh it we can actually packed it back home be it resturants and stuff. Cool eh, cause their portion dam big DAM big. And everything was being taxed. forgot how many %.
Its a nice trip, kinda relaxing, shopping and alot of freedom
Beautiful shopping paradise
Houston.

Bye ;D


P.s it did not turn out that bad afterall !
