HELLO. i am gonna continue to blog about my holiday.
I am coming back to singapore sooon! SO HAPPY! but im gonna miss america ):
ok so now i will blog about my washington trip.(i am not in washington now)

DAY 3:
washington dc.
ok so we took a cab from the train station to the hotel. there was a starbucks like very very very near. like 30seconds walk. and I WAS HAPPY. lol. so we put our luggages down and we went grocery shopping! because there was a kitchen in the room so we could cook our own food instead of going out and eating steaks all the time. so in safeway (the grocery store) i was trying to find stuff to bring back to singapore for all my friends. so i bought chocolates because there was nothing else. and i bought stuff for mrs lim and aunty cat. but after that i realised that we had no more trainings then i was like.. ok.. how am i gonna give them what i bought. so stupid right. so then we bought orange juice. i realise that the people there drink loads of juice. so i am happy. because i dont like soft drinks. then we shopped shopped shopped and went back to the hotel which was super near. oh did i mention that the NEW YORK PIZZAS were SUPER SUPER SUPER nice? rachel ang i bet you are jealous. it is like cheeesy and NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. dont cry RA.. dont CRY. so then we ate in the room la. my dad and mum cooked stuff for us. oh RA.. the hot chocolate there is REALLY GOOD. i shall make for you when you come my house for movie marathons. WHAHAHAA.

DAY4:
washington dc
I really cant remember what we did. lol. i got mixed up with the days. anyway. if i am not wrong. in the morning, i was wearing school shorts and a tshirt and a jacket and me and my bro went to starbucks. and my toes were freezing because i was wearing slippers and the weather was like very very cold. like 1degree. so we bought caramel macchiato or however you spell it. the hot one. and then we went back. later in the afternoon, we went to the metro (mrt) and we were stuck there for really really really long because we didnt know what tickets to buy etc. so after that we just bought like 1 ticket worth 5USD for like 1 person. so we each got 1 ticket. but stupid people like us bought the tickets 1 by 1. and then it took super long. so when we were purchasing our 3rd ticket from the machine, this security guard guy came up. and started explaining stuff. that actually you could purchase up to 40 tickets at 1 time. lol. so we wasted our time lor. oh and the trains are all underground so we had to take the escalator down right. i tell you. IT WAS SO SO LONG and steep that my mother was afraid la. it was about 3 times the length of normal escalators and it was very very slow. then after that we finally got down and the train finally arrived and we finally left to explore washington la. we walked a lot a lot a lot! like dont know how many km altogether to look at stuff. so we visited the white house, capitol hill (their parliament) and this tall tall thing i forgot what it's called. some memorial stuff. it was very very nice and peaceful there. and i saw lots of squirrels. and we walked and walked and walked. then we passed this restaurant. then we were like. ok we shall eat there later. so we explored the whole place. and we finally wanted to go back to eat, we couldnt find the restaurant. so we walked like siao la. and then we stopped at starbucks for awhile and we bought the same drink. it's super nice la. but it is like 1000 calories. I WAS FREAKED OUT WHEN MY BRO TOLD ME THAT. thats why i have gained weight. i think. yeah but we walked a lot so i guess we burned some cals. yeah. ahha. so we finally finally finally found it after a super long walk. i tell you. i was so cold and exhausted. then we went in. AND THE FOOD WASNT THAT NICE. the servings there are very very very BIG and HUGE and i was half sleeping in the restaurant because of the JET LAG. and because the serving is so big, i only ate like 1/5 of the food la. really. HUGE. yeah so after that we took a train back. i was shivering like siao coz it was like -5 to -9 degrees because of the wind.

DAY 5:
I remember!!!! ok. aiyo. we went to visit georgetown. the whole area. in the evening. and we walked across francis scott key bridge. it was freezing cold and my face was numb and stuff. the bridge was very long and across a huge river. the scenery was very nice. we went to the shops at georgetown park and we shopped there. i bought stuff for the pigs there. haha

DAY 6:
dad flew to orlando to meet his friends. me and bro and mum stayed in the hotel the whole day because we were so tired. so we slept and slept. and my mum cooked porridge. AH IT FELT SO GOOD BECAUSE MY STOMACH WAS SO FULL FROM ALL THE FOOD I ATE.

DAY7:
we went to visit the georgetown university. coz my bros going there. it is very very nice place. and the person who was bringing us around was a senior (year 4). she talked a lot. lol. very talkative. but very funny also. and the university sounds very interesting. and it was big. and halfway there was this weirdo guy who was holding a banana and acted like a monkey and like was jumping all around. i tell you that senior was pissed off. LOL. she was like. im so sorry i thought he was gonna say something funny but whatever. or something like that. and it was in a very sarcastic tone. lol. then after that we walked to a restaurant to eat. it is called clydes. very nice food.
