WAT Roadshow
sorry for the lack of updates.. been so tired up with school.. and yeah i know i'm not done with my travelling stuff. kinda slow though. haha. but i'm just SO lazy. sorry. i will do them some day. definitely...anyhows, went for the WAT roadshow on saturday and took a picture with Aaron, the HR person from PKD.
he was the one who interviewed us last year too... and this year he's back again too! and both times he's here alone.. poor thing. but he gets to fly for free so.. i would think it's nice.
don't really know him that well cuz never had to deal much with him back then. but the way he dressed and his built reminds me of roger~! haha miss my dear dear area manager man. haiz. he looks uglier in the picture though...
anyhows, i was on my feet all day and talking non stop repeating the same stuff to different groups of people for more than 10 times. haha. but i would say it was still fun.. though very tiring.
went for lee hom's concert after that and i must say it was good. :) nice nice. i loveee his accent...! cool. i like it!

in the lift
i met an american today.in one of the lifts at ritz carlton hotel when i went for sheena's 21st birthday celebrations. she booked a room there and had a small and cosy birthday gathering there.
ritz carlton hotel is such a nice place. classy, cosy and all. haha.
anyway, zhuzhu and i were on our way up to the room when coincidentally, we were in the same lift as this angmoh.
"how're you doing?" he asked immediately when the lift door shut.
american. i thought to myself at that instance. haha.
i guess zhuzhu didn't know how to react at that point of time. but after my short 3 months in US, it almost came naturally to me to reply back in the way i should.
"good. how about you?" i answered.
"are you a tourist here?" i went on, trying to maintain the conversation.
and so we chatted briefly from the 3rd to the 8th floor. haha. and he told me he's from san francisco. gotcha. i knew he was american. i could tell when he started speaking. he's stopping by here for business. wow. rich huh... stopping by for business and staying in a 6 star hotel. woah.
he asked where we were from and i told him we were locals. and he was like, "what are you doing in a hotel?" pretty fast thinker. good question. i didn't think about that. it didn't make sense for well, a local to seemingly go to a 6 star hotel room?! and well, so i just said we were visiting a friend. i hope he didn't think we were going to provide extra services huh. we were dressed prim and properly.
and then the lift door opened and we stepped out. he ended the conversation telling us that he's not a gay because alot of people say that he looks like one. and i'm like.. okay... a bit no link.
and so my short encounter with an american today ended in a few tens of seconds. maybe he really thought that we didn't seem decent... and so emphasized the point that he wasn't gay. ha i've no idea man. maybe he was just trying to be funny...
and oh the catch is... we both agree that he's good looking! hahaha.

my blog
i was just talking to dave on msn... and he told me many interesting comments about my blog which i was pretty surprised.haha i'm glad my efforts had some kinda recognition... i could share my insights and people appreciate my posts. but... how come nobody enjoys tagging me??
he said that reading my blog makes him feel very gian to go to US. haha i wonder if it's so for the rest? especially those who have never been there. i guess i do portray a very happy and wonderful life there.. but well, it is true that it was pretty good. haha. at least much better than life in singapore. i was just trying to share all my experience.. and well i must say i'm pretty hardworking in doing that. haha. not many people who go for this program would bother putting in so much effort to make this and all.
i think pkd should consider paying me for all the "advertising" that i've done for them man. seriously. and well, CIEE and speedwing too. for all the "advertising" for this program! haha. well i did this site more for sharing my experiences with my friends... and well, so that i won't forget all that i've experienced and felt then... but now it seems that quite a few people have been coming here to visit through google's blogsearch. and inevitably, it helps create more awareness and all for the program, plus encourage people to join i guess?? haha i don't know.
but at least it seems that because of my influence, some of my friends are interested to join this program! whose credit?? mine! lols. okay not really, but i guess all the people that i've met for this trip has credit too... as don said before, it's them who made what my experience it really was. boohoo... and dave wants to go to US to see jesse... hahaha so funny. now alot of people know him through my blog and began to get curious about him. haha. he's just a very typical american kid.
and because a picture speaks a thousand words... he says now my blog has millions of words. lols. funny a not ah.

still alive
sorry for the lack of posts... i've just been tired and busy. it really takes alot of effort to come out with one post with alot of pictures... and well i still have alot... but i don't have the time and patience to sort through them slowly and post it up.. heh so yups i'm sorry. i'll do them when i have more time. i'm just up to my neck these days with tuition, work, midterms and projects. sighs... yeah.. the time has come.anyhow, i realize there's been alot of people who's been coming to my blog recently through blog searches in google/technorati. i would think most of them are interested in the WAT program... well it's cool to have people come visit yeah... especially since they are starting to recruit people for WAT 2007. :) which i guess is the reason why most people are trying to find out more information about it.
anyhows, i have a short video of PKD which i got from youtube. i thought it was a nice video though... except a few parts which doesn't quite link.. but well, i would still give credit to the person who made it. it's still a pretty cool video... so yeah.. gives people a visual view of the park which i worked at.
on the other hand, don (one of my american friends from PKD) has been so sweet. it's so fun talking to him online because i get to know alot more stuff about their culture and all, despite the fact that i'm back. and i believe it helps... well in many ways. he said he'll provide me free lodging and food if i were to go back to virginia again... and bring me around to the nicer places of VA... it was really sweet. how nice... but it really doesn't make economical sense for me to go all the way back... but it'll be so nice to meet up again... oh wells. sometimes i feel like just need to go into reclusion into some uluated countryside of US and be cut off from the whole world. how nice. probably i'll go over to VA when that day comes and live with all the trees and grasses for a month or two. haha. till then... i think i'd better mug my ass off first.
