US grad trip

i'm back from the States!! had a hell of a good time there.. pretty scenery, cheap shopping, and great company. there were four fellow singaporeans on the tour, while 41 of the others are westerners - britons, aussies, and kiwis. one thing they have in common is that, they really LOVE to drink and party.. that's a sure thing for them every night.

everything else was fine, but we were starting to crave for asian food after getting sick and tired of eating fried stuff and fries for almost every meal!! until day 11 we finally had some chinese food at yosemite, but it didn't turn out as good as our local ones.

alrights, here are some of the photos.. more on the facebook soon
