universal studio- island of adventure
went to Universal- Island of Adventure with syn yin, jingfen and benson! they really have the best roller coaster rides man! 
a random street in universal orlando.. look at the buildings.. it's super nice! it's like every building has a theme and it feels like you living in a world of comic..
i finally sat The Hulk! omg it's a super cool ride! TOTALLY!! it goes up down left right and upside down! the ride was so fast until i got no time to feel the pain in my heart.. anyway i survived. 
look at the tracks!!
the Dual Dragon ride is good. they have 2 roller coasters going arnd the track at the same time. the tracks are on top.. which means we're hanging from the seats and it's floorless.. 
the water ride with syn yin :)
can u see me?? i'm second from the left!
shuai.

our first outing with some of the 2nd batch singaporeans.. 
there's a reason why i'm not an engineer.
welcome to Cocoa Beach!!
krispy kreams.. super nice donuts!
limei.. if u ever see this.. all i wan to say is, "i'm still waiting for the raffles place's donuts.."
we reached daytona beach at around 2am in the morning.. and saw this sign at the entrance..
kenneth and yoda planning how to light the firework.. and when to run away
after witnessing the fireworks.. everyone RAN back to the cars before the police come!
4am. our final destination... the walmart. it's like the seng siong+ carrefour in singapore..
our drivers for the day.. ben and kenneth :)
it was really a super long day.. we met at 930am in the morning and by the time we reach our rooms.. it's already 430am..
we rented 3 cars and these are the places we visited:
-kennedy space centre
-cocoa beach
-krispy kreams

the structure where the rocket stays before taking off
the details of the rocket's home.
there's a reason why i'm not an engineer.on our way to cocoa beach...
welcome to Cocoa Beach!!
the beach looks like any other beaches just that the sand is not white.. the colour of the sand is like sesame paste that kind of colour.. maybe that's how it got it's name! and the beach is super clean..
we went down to the beach even though it was raining and freezing.. the funny thing is we saw a few ang mo gers wearing bikins playing in the water and we were wearing our jackets.. hahah and everyone starts saying.. stupid asians.
me and jingfen!
where we had our dinner
krispy kreams.. super nice donuts!wanlin and i bought a dozen to share and we finished everything in less den 2 days! (junmin is seriously not on a diet anymore)
limei.. if u ever see this.. all i wan to say is, "i'm still waiting for the raffles place's donuts.."
we reached daytona beach at around 2am in the morning.. and saw this sign at the entrance..but we still went down to the beach.. we can't see a single thing.. can only hear the wave and feel the water..
we carried on with our plan.. the fireworks!
kenneth and yoda planning how to light the firework.. and when to run away
after witnessing the fireworks.. everyone RAN back to the cars before the police come!
4am. our final destination... the walmart. it's like the seng siong+ carrefour in singapore..our drivers for the day.. ben and kenneth :)
my right hand is losing feeling.

being a cashier...
i was the cashier for 8.5 hrs today.
total amt short at the end of the day: $0.15 (good job jm!)
was concentrating and focusing the whole day! it's like having 1 full day of maths tutorial.. it's how stressful.
esp counting the change.. omg.
the 10 cent coins in usa is smaller den the 5 cent coin and i have problem remembering which one is which and the quarters (25 cents) is like our 50 cent coin in singapore... i have problem resocializing this new set of coins into my head man.
anyway.. there was once the queue was getting longer and longer and my stress level was getting higher and higher till the point where my brain just suddenly stop working.
my head just went blank and i couldn't count the money...
in the end the customer counted for me!!
but lucky everything turned out well at the end of the day!!
the thais and philippinos are leaving today..
just came back from their party..
wah they really very havoc leh! but i just keep eating and eating and eating and eating...
even though i only worked with them for like 3 weeks.. i still feel quite sad coz everything's going to be different.

anyway..
bye pete.
bye boy.
bye darryl.
bye chick.

florida mall
another off day-- alone.
the largest m&m's store i've been to!
welcome to america :) 
the cute armani DJ :)
looks like a normal shop from the outside..
but it's not! it's a cool shop! can learn surfing inside!
see how BIG this jawbreaker is!
coz the asian food is simply too expensive!
rice+ 1 meat = USD$5.50
subway wrap= USD$2.20
this is why i'm going to get soo fat. fast food is soo much cheaper.
so went to florida mall today (1.5hrs of bus ride) and the mall is HUGE!!
it's only one story high but it's spread across a huge area.. and i managed to finish walking one round around the mall in that 5 hrs.. hahah

Coz our thai co-workers told us that if we’re e first batch to reach the social security place, we can end earlier and leave earlier.. reached back westgate at 12 plus.. and decided to spent the rest of our day at universal studio!
Omg… it’s really eye opening can!! We get to go thru all the Hollywood movie settings and effects.. real life and hands on experiences that movie stars went thru went they film those blockbuster movies!

The “mummy returns” rollercoaster was fantastic. It’s super funny even though I was quite scared.. the roller coaster is not those very kong bu kind.. it was a busy ride coz there’s a lot of things to see around us and we went thru alot of effects like water and fire during the ride too! Wah seriously… it’s the best rollercoaster ride I’ve taken so far man.

The earthquake took place in a subway.. like our train got stuck in one of the train station when the earthquake occurs. Den got cars dropped down from the roof on top of us.. and got another train crashed into ours.. and there’s real fire beside us.. the coolest thing is the flood! The water (real water) just gushed out from the subway staircase and I was screaming my heart out coz i was sooo scared for my camera!! Hahaha.. was super funny when the train keeps rocking and shaking.. everyone was sliding along the seats coz there wasn’t any seatbelts!
synyin. seok kheng. jingfeng

sorry for the quality of the photo.. i was in the midst of an earthquake!The twister we experienced is also.. wow. I really dun have the words to describe it. When the twister came, the cars and stuff arnd us just flew away. There was fire and sparks around us.. the waterpipes bursts and water was poured on us.. and the super strong wind blew the cow away too! We went thru all the effects.. It’s just like we’re caught in a twist
the typical busstop we always see in movies.
the subway station.
and we watched fear factor LIVE.
there was an explosion going on when the contestant is trying to climb up the car
made a new friend at universal :)
