Day 25 & 26 Final days

Day 25 - Spent the entire day at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. I really enjoyed myself because the rides were not as scary as the ones at Knott's Berry Farm where we went to last year in LA but Louis was pretty bored because the thrills were not death-defying. As for me, I loved every moment I was being thrown around in the air and alternatively laughing and screaming like a crazy woman. The queues were alright since it was a Monday and not a weekend. Oh! And I finally had my funnel cake! Yummy!

This was the scariest ride - the wooden roller coaster. Wanted to take again at the end but it was getting late and Louis' housemate was waiting for us. She came with us but had plans to meet her co-worker for that day.

This ride is called Medusa. Longest wait but totally worth it.

Boomerang! We took this twice consecutively because the queue was short. Harharhar...super exciting!

Ok...time for a break because Louis was feeling nauseous with all the spinning.

Funnel cake! I waited for a year to taste this delectable delight! Awesome!

Was too full to have dinner after the funnel cake so Jingyan (Louis' housemate, yes, a girl) and I watched Louis eat some chicken from Boston Market. Kenny Roger's is much better.

Anyhow, I finally got the Lipsmackers that everyone wants from Target and the day ended.

Day 26 - Packed my bags abit before heading to Stanford for lunch with Louis' friend, Lewis Hong, at Cheesecake Factory before exploring the campus grounds.


Every time I take photos of food, they're always half-eaten. So hungry that I usually forget to take before it's half gone. Harharhar...the cheesecakes are really good but we were so full from the lunch special that was supposedly a smaller portion than the regular menu that we couldn't finish them. Pity.

Now the tour of Stanford. It has a very different feel from UC Berkeley. Overall, it has a more sombre and scholarly atmosphere with beautiful architecture. It has history and therefore, character. Heh...

This is a view from the Hoover tower, named for one of the U.S. Presidents, Herbert Hoover. Must pay to ride the elevator up.


Alot of the students ride bikes to get around the campus.



There's a church on campus. It's beautiful. The stained-glass windows were mesmerising.



If I ever have kids, I hope to provide them with the option of studying abroad. NUS is truly not that bad, but the architecture is so bland. Aargh.

Had to get an extra luggage because I think I have to help Louis bring his stuff back so went to a Ross that was near Dinah's place since we were having dinner there. Bought many bags. Harharhar...I love bags!

My last dinner at Dinah's house for this vacation. I'm gonna miss them. =(

Met up there with Jeffrey, Wendy, Clairie and Shyann as well. Hohoho...for once, I'm not the oldest. I feel so old nowadays! The Saturday service crowd just keeps getting younger. Boo...

We ended the night by laughing at Dinah's collection of old photos. I'm so glad there were none of me because I was a fat kid! Harharhar...add that to the fact that I will never be photogenic and you can guess how relieved I was. Oh, Darren took the above photo. Good, right?

All of us have changed in one way or another and it's obvious that God has brought us through the different seasons. Change may be difficult but look how far we have come! People from Faith A/G together again. =]

God is good. All the time.
