alllrighties! first post in singapore XD lets start from the beginning...

SO we set out towards the airport at 4pm and we hit really bad traffic. it wasn't an accident or anything, it was just really bad traffic. boo then when we got to the airport, we had some trouble with miscommunications about letting amanda, the minor, travel without adult supervision. that caused quite a ruckus, so amanda and i ended up being the last 2 on the plane. i sat next to a fidgety mexican man >_> awkward.

4 hours later, we arrive in LA. man.. at this point, i remember being really really tired. but i also remember the VERY NICE cali weather for about 10 minutes walking between terminals. oh my goshness the air was so clear and clean feeling. we were "handed over" to singapore airlines, and for the first time in a long time... we heard it. singaporean accents. REAL ones. hahhaa XD awesomes.

the SIA crew people were very nice ^ ^ they always served us meals first and kept making sure everything was okay. oh wait i forgot, interesting story. ok so we got on the plane, and the air hostess lady told us to sit in these 2 seats. "please do not trade or change seats, we need to know where you are at all times ok?" i nodded and sat, and decided to call mom and tell her everything was okay. as she talked and kept insisting that i ask about the sia pocession of our passports (which i thought was all under control >_>), some white guy came up to me (while i was still on phone), and really really rudely said "excuse me you need to move." i was like.. uhhhhhh and held the phone down (mom was still talking). i told him that the air hostess said we couldnt leave these seats. he flashed his tickets and said "well you're in my seat." OK thats not even the dumb part. i saw his ticket and i was like.. ok.. same row.. don't tell me he's actually being a butt because he wants the window seat >_> so i said... "uh.. so.. basically you want the window seat..?" and he replied "actually yes i would like the window seat." >< ok am i being selfish in thinking that this man was rude to 2 girls who are obviously traveling by themselves and getting all picky over a freaking window seat? ... >_> sad. well anyway we got moved to different seats next to some lady. but man.. i was quite pissed at that guy. oh yea the whole time my mom was still on the phone... T_T

anyway.. the flight from LA to taipei was fine. it appears SIA has less nintendo games... probably lost funding. but the movies were decent. i watched V for Vendetta , fell asleep because it was 5am US time T_T and slept for about 7 hours. woke up to eat, stole a spoon, watched V for vendetta again, and also I Not Stupid Too. hehehe good movie. i learned one thing from that movie. family = father and mother i love you. hahhaa cheesy but its a good arguemnt for anti gay marriages... ^ ^ ahem. anyway

taipei to singapore was ok too cept i started getting major headaches. T_T nothing a little advil cant fix. i think i took 3 in all... oh yes and i also watched "she's the man" with amanda bynes. hehe yes this movie has reassured me that i still dislike her. ^ ^ oo 20 minutes before landing, an air hostess asked us to go sit in business class / first class!! hahha i dont kno why, but it doesn't matterrr!!! the seats there are freaking awesome... the recline waaayyy downn. you're practically lying down ANDDD they have silky pillows ^ ^ oh yes stacy, i collected a fair amount of barf bags for you. pwahaha you shall be fully equipped and prepared for the next road trip!!!!

yay so we landed in singpaore and the walkway from plane to airport gate already smelled like singapore. XD my dad picked us up and we unpacked at his apartment type place. i showered, amanda didn't (ew), and we were off to takashimaya!!! that is my mom's fave japanese department store type place. except we didn't really go shopping today. no. it was ... THE FOOD! LO AND BEHOLD!!!!! niki has finally been reunited with her beloved TAKOYAKI!!! *drools* that was the first thing i ate hhehehe we also had some takitori. its like.. skewer things. oh geez i also got a slice of real pandan cake. for those who dont know, its like a sponge cake thats green because it has extracts of pandan leaves. and omg. it was... soo.. good... i teared. no seriously, i kid you not, cross my heart. i teared as i ate it. you can ask amanda. t_T it was so good.

mm then we went to buy a few household items and groceries. it appears i'll be making onigiri over here too hahha super duper!! after 2 hours of walking around takoshimaya, niki already reached her limit. my feet were tired. hahahaahaha man how am i going to survive the rest of the week. XD well one thing's for sure... we're going to be broke. haha we saw so many kute and awesome things already. >D just need to go back and buy them. ^ ^ SOOO who wants a .3 or .4 or .25 pen? hehe just raise your hands. they come in all sorts of colors XD oh yes and mono erasers. so manys.

mm so right now its almost 7pm here, and we're gonna go to a sushi restaurant for dinner. its one of those convayer belt ones w00t! i heard the hsf sports day got... rescheduled or relocated. or somethingg... haha well no matter, im sure you guys had fun. mm haha its like.. 6am over there right now... should be a sunday... >_> ok well. have fun in focus.

for now, i will try and finish fullmetal alchemist and pray that jet lag doesn't give me a huge smack in the face during dinner. because that would suck. XD cheerio!
