Back from the USA!

So its been awhile, since we have been back and we're back to the lives we had before we left. Work, eat, sleep, days off and it repeats itself again. Lucky I have all the DVDs I brought back from KL and SF to watch. I've finished watching one TVB drama and then I started that epic China drama with 95 episodes. Today I'm on episode 50. Sigh. I have spaced it out and its almost like it never finishes. Anyway... I had a fantastic holiday. It started out with an awesome dinner in equitorial and then lots of drinks at whiskey bar and then a delayed flight to the US with a 30 min stoppover in taiwan instead of 1.5 hours. Anyway I was incredibly sick on the way to taiwan and then slept it off on the way to LA. Felt much better thank god. Anyway had no food at all, picked up rental car and made it to buena park in time for midnight and a 454 room. Got supper at taco bell then made it to disneyland the whole of the next day. Needless to say it was tiring beginning to the holiday. After that it was a long drive to san diego and once again bummed around, changed money and they off to the zoo and sea world the next day. It was jam packed again with very little time, had an awesome meal by the water and an italian yummy meal near the hotel as well. Super long drive the following day to vegas where we stayed 5 nights. Had an awesome time casino hopping and watched 2 cirques, o and zumanity. A few gambles and our room got comped 250 bucks. Anyway... hope we get to go back again soon. All the buffet and the neverending fun there was awesome, can't believe we slept early and woke up early too! Off to SF for a rainy week and had an awesome time, found fantastic egg tarts, spent time at pier 39, alcatraz, with uncle mike aunty sandra and the kids, had lotsa exercise up the nob hill and awesome time shopping. found out anyway that california has a higher tax rate than vegas. grumble grumble. managed to buy the things i wanted before the trip though, chanel bag and hermes belt. yeah!!! Off to another drive to LA and we were without the car for the last week. We stayed in beverly hills, learnt to take the bus and trains everywhere from century city to universal and beyond. Had awesome korean everyday which rivals anything we've eaten before. same with the vietnamese near disney. much better than the stuff you get here. chinatown in sf was awesome too but was disappointed with la's version! amazing though you could find all sorts of asian videos and cds over in sf along with trinkets, slippers etc. didn't manage to catch my nba game though... stupid tickets sold out or 500 bucks!! what the??? anyway thats all in a nutshell. all in all a fantastic time and so much less than what i expected to pay. hopefully we go back asap!! had a ball of a time!!

Less than a week to go.

Its our honeymoon, and its amazing just saying it. The anticipation is killing me slowly. I would like time to rapidly increase so I can go on holiday. I will miss my little black son though who will be boarding in a doggy kennel... sigh. Anyway I have finalised the hotel reservations, the places we are going to visit, how much everything is going to cost etc. Ah all I have left to do is pack and get money from the bank. Anyway its been amazingly HOT and therefore I can't wait to go away to the cool spring of the USA. Hopefully lots of shopping and food awaits me and I will not get jetlag from the stupid time difference between here and the states. Oops. Not much to write I guess until I come back from holiday with lots of pictures and memorabilia. 7th March HERE I COME!

VDay.

Its Valentines Day. My bubby managed to cook me dinner and I'm currently enjoying a glass of red wine whilst typing. I was at work on a ten hour shift, and he got AL. Ah I feel pampered and loved. Its the little things. 3 weeks to go as well AND counting! Yay hooray for holidays!

18 hours.

Its not much, but its the most OT i've done in a fair while. I'm tired, feel lazy and don't even want to move much after slacking off on OT shifts. Usually I get to sit down, and when I don't I still feel tired, drained and lazy after the shift. Where did all the enthusiasm go from when I first started? Most people I know have become like that. Except the exceptions and they have done a lot more and closer to 50 hours. Ah. Anyway I got a platinum amex but have decided not to have it anymore as it charges huge amount of fees and especially if you use it outside Australia - so whats the point when you're about to go on holiday? Anyway... baccarat tournament was a lot more fun than I envisaged. Hopefully I get to do it again later on which would be fun! Anyway, the countdown is on and less than 4 weeks to go till USA. I will bring one luggage and buy another one there I reckon! :D Here's to great shopping and food!

CNY!

CNY Day 3. I have successfully finished a 16 hr shift. The first time in forever. Usually i do 8 hrs VRDO. I feel tired, I haven't slept enough and I have an early start tomorrow for baccarat tournament. Hm. I have managed to bpay for the first time and by phone because the internet was being upgraded. Yay for me. Anyway. Lucky I got to sit down today. Yay! Was pretty amazing. Cruisy day by any standards. Hope tomorrow is as fantastic as today. Yay. Anyway not much to say as I haven't really done much recently. Seen hubby less but its okay as we will be back after next week on the same shifts. Seems like its been awhile but It's been pretty awesome. Would love to have the same days off. Looking forward to USA too. Pretty much 4 more weeks and 2 days to go!
