Day One
POSTED ON Saturday, September 19, 2009 @ 1:09 PM \\
So I have arrived in Cedar Rapids, Iowa safe and sound. And fyi right now, it's 12:09am, Saturday.I survived the 3 hour flight from Singapore to Hong Kong and another 13 hours from Hong Kong to Chicago. And 30minutes from Chicago to Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
I swear I can still feel as if I'm on the plane and feeling the turbulence and all. My head is like spinning. The 13 hour flight from Hong Kong to Chicago was really dreadful, killer, nauseating and traumatising x63283470910. I swear.
From the crying babies/kids, the squeezy-ness, the "Special order" food, the TV programmes and everything. I slept so much till I can't sleep, I ate too much till I feel like vomiting. Had like 4 meals in total throughout the 13 hour flight. Yeah, lunch, dinner, lunch and dinner.
It was still the same time as Singapore when we were in Hong Kong, but it was like -1GMT in the states. Therefore, it was still Friday when we touched down. Sooo jet lagged.
It was sooo cold in the plane and my skin and lips were so dry and I left my lipbalm and lotion in my luggage. And oh, my camera too. Luckily it was still there in my luggage, despite what my aunt told me about.
So anyway, I was sooo excited when we reached Chicago. I need to STAND. Had Starbuck's Caramel Frappe in Grande which cost USD5.24. But it defnitely taste much better here rather than Singapore's. And oh! They still have Cinnamon Melts here and they have in 2 sizes, if I'm not wrong. Yummeh.
Have yet to explore Cedar Rapids. Checked into the hotel and went for dinner at the Chinese Restaurant next to it. The waiter is soooooo cute and his name was Eric. And guess what? "Somebody" asked for his FB account! *giggles*

Didn't ate much there due to certain reasons. I mean, I have had enough meals already and I had no more appette to eat. Bought 2 bars of chocolates at the restaurant and we all got free Fortune Cookie! "Have some Fortune Cookie too, it's on the house!"
I loveee my fortune. I knowwww! *flips hair*

So it will be Saturday tomorrow. We got the whole day for rest tomorrow until further discussion. Ah ma gash!
Only managed to take a few pictures today :(
Hong Kong's airport is sooooo nice I tell you!
And these are the only 2 pics I took with my handphone camera.

I am missing all of you already!
