Life in Washington DC

So far I have been able to adapt to this life now..
yesterday i was just thinking, so this is my life now...
I kind of like it..i don't have a camera right now..so i can't get all of these beautiful view into the blog..but i'll let ur imagination do the talking...
This place is full of greens and it is near the white house.
there is constanly helicopter flying around and police car roaming around the place but not until u feel insecure.
People here are very friendly and the cars give way to the pedestrian.
Maybe it's because of the human rights are very strong here, so there is no discrimination here...at least i don;t feel it...people here don't look at you with a weird expression if u dress weirdly or maybe ur just crazy...i'm saying this coz there are some weird people around and people just act normal around them...
oh ya, everyone here is constantly jogging..no matter what time of day i come out of my house, there is always someone running...also, people here are very health conscious...everything here is low fat or sugar free..i can't even find my full cream milk T.T
Today, i finally open my bank account and found a bed~~
weee..i feel so good now..and i went shopping for my dinner ^^
all in al, today is a great day..even though it drizzle a lil...

oh ya, before i forget..
i went dinner with Virginia and her mom yesterday..she was a sweet heart..
really nice family..
even though she don't speak a word of english..hahah...
Gillian was translating the whole night...
and i did a stupid thing again....i wanted to pay for my meal....
...
...
...
...
I know...
i shouldn't even have though about it..but Gillian gave me a hard time for asking..XD
i guess, this is how it works...i'm still not use to people paying for me....

anyway, I miss everyone at home~
including my dogs..coz everyone here seems to have dogs here..and there are always in pairs..i don't know why....

how was ur weekend?
email me, msg me or send me a letter~

Washington DC here I come

moving on~
after the tremendous endless suffocating 22 hours of my life, I finally got down from the plane and landed safely in NY
of course in between, i transit in Frankfurt(Germany) which i feel ridiculous, coz they(the airline) force us to get down the place with all out luggage and the go back up again...what's even more funny is straight after u exit, then there is an arrow pointing to the right for my flight(SQ 26) and then after I turn right, there is the transit information telling me that gate 4 is open for boarding...feel annoyed and tired i look for gate 4 MANA TAU, gate 4 is on the right...u get what i mean??? i am making a U turn..as in the gate is right behind the exit...== so i;m like going around...and they check the boarding tickets again...
and to make my day more miserable, dunno y that lady maybe she's just plain bored, decides to pick me as someone to chat with...I AM IN NO MOOD TO CHAT &%$%@#$%$#!@$#%%
she was telling me how the US government never inform the interns about certain information la, how they recently found out la, how they have to be the bad person to turn the students away la....haix...my head adi so heavy, eyes so dry...with OILY hair plus my body smells..so yeah! i'm in no mood to chit chat with u lady..but of course..i smile and collaborate loo...apa boleh buat..

so back to NY, when i reach, and finally figure out how to get a ticket for metro and the air Train, I stand from the airport station to Penn Station which took about 45 mins...y i stand? u ask? coz my backpack is too bloody big and the seat they make so bloody kedecut..soo smallll...Zzzzzzz...wanna go in also a problem...not considerate...haix....so all the way the back pack is on my shoulder ><

by the time i reach the place where i am suppose to go on the bus, it was on 12.30pm...I brought the 4.30pm ticket...so trying my luck, i went and get in line for the bus...
coz the terms and condition is that if i have a ticket i can get on an earlier or later schedule IF there is still place left on the bus. After lining up a while, i saw that there was a lot of people and lots of them having a ticket...i was about to give up and grab y bags but when i turn the bus pull over..my timing was never better....
everyone rush infront, and the lady driver says that only the 1 clock ticket is allowed..even the 1.30 is not allowed...><
so I step back..was going to give up when i saw the 1.30 bus pulled over behind the first one...that was when i hesitated..should i try my luck behind of should i just ask the lady driver to take me...When i was about to go for the first choice, a guy came down the bus and said he got on the wrong bus....
while he was taking his bags, i went up the the lady driver and ask if i can take his place...since she was already leaving, y not take me along right...
and she let me in ^^
i doze off on the bus after a while, i didn't manage to relax because i was sitting next to a guy and i was afraid i would snore...u know, i will when i'm tired...and i was...tired is not even the word, exhausted is more like it. the girls behind me kept on laughing on something, so i kept on waking up...the trip is suppose to about 4 hours,...but it took me 6 hours..lolx!
coz traffic jam lo....
when i reach, i felt energetic..dunno y... so i wanted to change my plan to taking the train...
but experience told me that this energy is going to drain out quite soon...so i went to take the taxi...when the taxi drove me to the apartment, i couldn't get anyone to open the door for me...i tried the intercome but i think it's broken..Zzzzz....
sitting on the steps for like about 10 mins telling myself that I have get up and find a payphone...but my arms and legs are not moving...lolx....
so i just sat there..looking at passer by, hoping that they will stop and offer some aid...
what happen was i got tired and went straight up to a lady and ask to borrow her phone to call...surprisingly, she was happy to help,she got her phone out immediately and dial the number..MANA TAU, the number i have is one number short ><
so she showed me where i can get internet access, it was really nice of her..she even ask me whether I have dollars to buy a drink o not...i feel so happy at that time...so nice of her to help me...^^ u know they say god comes in different form? well, yesterday he was that woman.
After i got on to the web, a quick call to my dad and then i dial the new number that i have gotten from the internet left by Gillian(my new house mate)

Well, that was yesterday....
today was a whole new different experience...
lucky i learn how does the street name go...
I had an appointment with the HR department at 1..
i went out at 10 and walk around to get myself familiarize....
the thing is, this place every where is like the same..so what i do is i look for the street name...
normally i would just look for land marks..but over here is just impossible...
one that i do have to say is that the town house are really beautiful...
i went around the hotel, and got a welcome letter from HR...
something interesting happen today,
I went to this supermarket to do some groceries shopping,
and the staffs was really friendly...
they would come out and ask if they can help with anything...
at first i reject it, but finally when i saw that there are two pricing for the product i ask what was it..he told me that it's the club discount card and that i can apply it there and then.so i did and then i ask him about the disposable phone,he showed me the ropes....
what was getting weird is that he ask me give my number to him..said when i need someone to talk to i can call him or when he needed some1 he can call me.....
......*speechless*........
i just smiled....and walk off....
what happen next was even worst...
when i paid for my groceries, he help put all my stuff into the bags...while, I notice he didn't help others...getting creepier by the minute...i was trying to stay my distance already, by the time i was buying the phone with another man, he disappear to my relieve...
but when i got out of the supermarket....
he was there...waiting...
*super creepy*
he came over and said this
" so, next week Wednesday dinner?"
he saw my shock face and i was shaking my head awkwardly...
"NO???" he shouted
and then he took out a knife and stab me....
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
nah,i was just joking..lolx!
after i rejected him i went home...
but he was still fine when i left, so i guess i'm safe for now..lolx...
i'm tired..i wanna take a nap now ^^
missing all of u who are reading this~~
and i know there's only a few

Hello America~

I'm tired of starting my blog post apologizing for the late update..lolx!!
i know..it's been weeks since i last updated..
So recently I have been busy preparing for my internship in Washington..
and no, it's not compulsory I'm doing it willingly.

Right now, I have just arrive to my new home ^^
It all started about 30 hours ago when i first boarded the flight from Malaysia.
When I reach Singapore at about 9, i chat with Diny till the gate open which was at 11 p.m
so what happen was that I went in the plane hoping that a good looking guy would sit next to me for the next 22 hours of the flight...guess who i found next to me??? a small girl about 7 years old, and what's worse is that she can't keep her mouth shut....to make it even worse than it is, her YOUNGER brother is sitting right next to her =.=

and so the journey began....
an hour.....
two hour....
three hour.....
fourth hour: meal time...eat....
fifth hour: movie.......
sixth hour....hmmmm....
seventh hour....this is getting a lil annoying....
eighth hour....another movie...
and the for the rest of it, I lost track of time...it was like endless @$^%$@%$#%!#$%@
most of the time I feel like a pig being prepare to slaughter...
WHY u ask WHY???
because they feed u like every 2 hours and comes around with drinks every hour and u just SIT there eating, drinking, sleeping, and then back to eating again....until u wanna go take a leak....
oh ya, u know when u board an aircraft, the cabin crew would provide u hot towels to freshen up?
Well, my dad use to just wipe his hands on it...dun usually encourage to wipe the face cause he says he don't know where the towel was used when other people before him uses the the towel.
I finally know where....while i was wiping my hands...2 rows in front of me to the left, I saw...
I saw..
I saw....
it pains me to say this...
I saw a lady wiping her toes and feet...
what makes it so disgusting is she even goes in between her toes....yerrrrrr...
and when I turn to my right*that's where the lil girl and boys are* the mother of the two was putting the towel on her face and fell asleep....even more yerrrrrrrrrrrr....just to think that before some1 uses it to wipe in between toes......

I'll continue this post 2moro...I wanna sleep now..even though it's just 9 pm ^^
