Its been more than a month since I came back from the USA trip… it has indeed been an enjoyable trip, am rite peeps?!?! I doubt anyone have regretted coming, not me at least.. nonetheless, beside the peeps.. The tours. The visit… The site… The lecturers [Mr Ken and Mr Sim] … they rox the trip!! They made everything fell in place, for the students.. Thank you !!

Hmmmm let me try to recall wad have happened and where have we gone for the full 7 days in USA specifically California..

Day1,
We arrived in the San Francisco International Airport at about 10pm SF time.. the sky has turned dark and the weather was fantastic. The cold breeze.. the city light.. and everything. We then hopped onto our coach and headed to one of the supermarket called “LUCKY” for some grocery shopping. After spending about an hr there, we were all quite tired already.. due to jetlag… and stuffs. And guess where we go next? Its none other than our luxurious hotel –Courtyard By Marriott!!!

Day 2,
We were all told to wake up early in the morning to have our early breakfast, and because we are all very discipline students, we did as what we were told. We got ready and made sure we do not delay anyone (CROSS FINGER) *wink* hahhaha anyway, we hopped into the coach and began to explore the beautiful city of San Francisco.. everyone was frantically shooting.. passing their camera around.. Basically, we were amaze by everything we see. Not forgetting that we were supposed to pick up a city tour guide in San Francisco.. we stopped at union square, though we did not alight. The reason is because we have an extra member joining us for the next few hours. Guess who? Who will be soo dumb to guess wrongly rite? Of cos it’s our lovely huge Caucasian city tour guide! :P hahahha throughout his explanations and introduction to the city… we were practically aslp. HOWEVER, when we arrive at PIER 39 or 29? Lol… we were all ecstatic! Wad a beautiful place , I must say! Opposite this place , we can actually see this tiny little island in the centre of no where. It is actually the Alcatraz, the ancient tighly secured prison that is now open for tourist attraction. Sadly to say, we did not get a chance to go there. Or else, I can proudly tell my fren, “hey, I have been to ALCATRAZ!!!’ hahahhah after that, we went to THE FAMOUS GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE! As much as we wanted to see, the foggy weather actually failed us. Wad a disappointment! And then, we headed to the Chinatown in san Francisco.. and finally, we are back at the Singapore version of Orchard road, The Union Square! Ahhaha we shopped till all our legs numb! Hahahah there are Victoria secret, Chanel, Coach, Dior, Guess, Nike, and the list went on. However, a gentle reminder to the next badges who r coming here, DO NOT SHOP TOOOO MUCH!!! YOU GUYS WILL BE VISITING FACTORY OUTLET WHERE THE SAME ITEM COST HALF THE PRICE THAT U SEE IN UNION SQUARE! Take real good note of this, or u will regret. After a long day of visiting ang exploring and shopping, we eventually dragged our feet to the Oversea NUS Campus. We were given a warm welcome by the students. From half asleep to almost energetic.. can u imagine how beneficial the visit to this place is?? The students there were fantastic too.. they shared with us where to get good cheap stuff.. wad life in like is US.. etc etc.. By now, everyone was painting a fatigue picture on all their faces. And fell deep asleep once I arrived back in the hotel.
