the american dream pt.3

here comes the much dreaded (to me, at least) july/aug journey in the usa

so on the first of july, it was grand floridian's (another wdw resort) 25th anniversary and only grand floridian cast members could participate in the buffet and sort of "gala" if you may call it. so being entertainment cast members..... my polynesian team and i managed to get in and boy, the buffet feast was fantastic. they had pulled pork!!!!



when jolyn said that it was gf's 25th anni, i told the cast members i was working with during that shift and we decided to head down seeing we had time before we had to clock out. what are the chances man, that i like the only shift with a 1 hour gap before you could clock out. we were expecting maybe a cater or something but not a full fledged buffet in the ballroom



we all took the glowing ice cube home :p




this is the best pork one could ever eat. beats pork bellies and pig trotters hands down


cake pops and rice krispies pops! i took a rice krispies pop by accident and was wondering why on earth the cake pop is rock solid but turns out to be the best mistake i've made





the thing i buy during every trip to florida mall. wish they brought pinkberry to sg. big fan here


burger that ger and i shared. this whole meal plus a pack of fries costs $12+ rip off but their burgers are good


trip to asian market, which we decided to ditch shopping in the market to eat dimsum. the chee cheong fun is too good to be true and the xlbs haha.... skin was too thick they look like paus


wang zai niu nai!!!! 1usd!!!!


alison and i killed some time while waiting for cadence to come over.






then we headed to magic kingdom to catch the 4th of july fireworks (it was 3rd of july tho but the independence day fireworks were on the whole week) i was hungry soooo.... CHURROS


and yes turkey leg




i love how everyone just wears raincoats when it rains regardless of how odd it looks. sure would like to be able to do that in sg without people giving me the stink eye because it def keeps me drier than a brolly

oh the pool at the polynesian resort is whoaaaaaa so gorgeous. literally 10 seconds after this shot was taken huge downpour man. like in a split second it was raining cats and dogs


"can you take a pic of me watching the fireworks?" *half expecting to have the fireworks in the shot


the independence day fireworks are honestly the best i have ever seen







look at my pal mickey! HIS SUIT SPARKLES


starbux x disney. my ultimate fav - wild berry hibiscus. that is, next to the ice peach green tea lemonade i always have


the shot before this that a cast member took for us could not see us at all hahaha


club 626 - basically just a stage where chip & dale and stitch break some moves for an hour plus



brought alison to my workplace! i feel so awkward around characters i don't know what to do. now how i know people feel when i dont take the lead









following which, alison insisted we take the dumbo ride....



"selfie pls!!!"


got this top for gabriel and the reply he gave me was, "is this purple? why'd you buy me a gay color!?" -.-


how 3 people share a single ipod


super cheap deal, this mbmj watch costs 63usd


shopping on 4th of july!


we went to check out the fireworks at epcot, great as well. i was skyping kt during the start of the fireworks display and she was watching it on the way to school haha










SAAAALLLLEEEEE


the sauteed potatoes i anyhow cooked were surprisingly delish altho the amount of butter and oil i used was horrendous


my size 2, 21USD jack purcells


shots i took while walking to the bus stop. the view was too good but i was perspiring like crazy




how this picture moves like a gif i will never know but look who visited!


this was one of the worst dishes i cooked haha my beef was freaking undercooked it was as if it was raw
beefshimi anyone?


the commons poool that had no smell of chlorine and the place where i one night spent one hour teaching gervina and sheryl to float but to no avail :(


DUFFY!!! how can people not know about the famous duffy bear?? hui min even asked why i took a picture with a monkey.....



see, ducks


trip to universal studios orlandooooo


this ride (the hulk) had a corkscrew right at the start of the ride and heard kim hui screaming louder than i did hahaha



my commons people


hogwartttsssss



the butter beer just felt like a diabetic drink to me




this now proudly hangs (or sticks since he used blu tack) on leroy's door




train conductor was yelling, "STOPPPP!!!!!!!" because some passerby was about to walk in front of the camera


trip to ikea's


15 meatballs for $4.99??


nua day at home i forgot why i think i was too tired to work. oh yes i remember waking jolyn up in the morning because i could not make up my mind on if i should go to work and she ended up not being able to fall asleep again while i went back to snooze


what sheryl and i whipped up for dinner after we went to the gym haha so much for going



i swear animal kingdom has the best sunsets


some walmart staff came to chat with me that day while i was browsing candies and asked if i was from philippines :(



jap meal at japan, epcot with ger and sher. o m g so yummy!!!




spot the rabbit midst the ducks




THE PICTURE MOVES.











caught the little mermaid show at hollywood studios!


flannel cake!!! it's just flour actually


and the most dreaded part of the post........

yeah so the picture was taken in the hospital obviously.. the wheelchair and all should be obvious enough. well this isnt something i would want to talk about any more since it took me a helluva long time to get over and my mind has already dealt with the fact that it is over. so yeah literally no image flashes thru my mind even if i talk a bit. like you know how when you talk about something and the memory of it just flashes in your head? yeah doesn't happen to me anymore in this case. mind has decided to block it out good job BUT my head will always start to feel numb if i do (even this even makes sense)

well this was a lesson learnt so as to speak but i am extremely grateful to those who did not probe regardless whether they knew/didnt know what happened. for those that expressed their concerns too, thanks. it was a tough time thou, since it was pretty much a series of events put together. not being able to walk properly for a week was rather awful. but as the saying goes, 'the going gets tough and the tough gets going'


sheryl and kim hui decided that outback steakhouse would be a great choice for therapy so they wheeled (stupid legs were taking such a huge toll on me) me over across the scary road

this french onion soup is AMAAAZING the cheese oh my gawd...


see what i mean when they give you 1/3 of the whole broccoli. but the steak is fantastic. they will just change it for you if the wellness is not to your liking. so i ordered 9 oz and ate 3 oz and went to change to a fresh 9 oz so i ended up eating 12 oz of steak


this is a pool party hahahahha


mandy's surprise birthday party! all of us squeezed in her closet hahahhaa





2 for 2USD!!!!

my last ride in orlando :-(


sigh depressing flight to chicago on my own. my first long distance flight by myself. 26 miserable hours of flight plus 7 hours of transit ON MY OWWWWNNN. not that i am being a loser by complaining about being alone but hey i was going thru a tough time and i had no one to talk to. ok i had wifi thou...


chicago looked pretty though


then my 5 hour transit in hong kong in the middle of the night. saw myself shopping at zara and bought moon cakes for mom.... well i must commend cathay pacific air for the good flight i had. excluding the fact that i sat beside 2 elderly who kept GOING TO THE TOILET AT DIFFERENT TIMING. i was able to get free cup noodles though major plus points!!!

my flight from hk to singapore saw me having a VERY SPACIOUS SEAT!


ya that's all for the american dream... sure feels like a dream though
