More Updates from my Goddess from US

Day 2 in US was super tiring. After a wierd breakfast - look at the black round thing - that's a chocolate donut!

After which we waited for 20 min to take a bus to a shopping area called Pembeton. We were so worried that we have missed our bus as it comes only once every hour and their last service was at 11+ cos they need to stop for lunch break. Anyways, we almost cross the road and missed the bus when we thought we would have missed it. Luckily for one of the travel party mates who was tall and had good eyesight to spot it from afar.

We thought once we stop at the bus stop, we'd reach the shopping mall, something that looks like at least Coronation Plaza. Boy was I so wrong, we walked and walked and walked and couldn't find it. And when we finally found it, it was actually the size and shape of expo - a one level building with a few shop tenants.

Went Babies R" Us to buy something for my nephew. (Too tired to take and upload the picts now. Will do so in my next posting).

After which, lunch break at Wendy's! Heard that it's one of the cheapest fast food restaurant around, and indeed it is with a delux meal at USD2.99.

We were disappointed that we can't get into Cosco Wholesale cos it was only for members. So we were excited that we came across Food Lion. Heard from my friend that it's the lowest cost supermarket around - an equivalent of Sheng Shiong. We bought a few can food like corns, spinach and beans to go with our cup noodles. Saw a few shops that had really nice and cheap stuffs like Nine West shoes at USD39 which is SGD60!! I was so tempted to buy but I figured out I'd wait till I get to the premier outlet, and also get my pay first before I start spending.

And we walked and walked and walked in order to get to the next "shopping mall".

And we found a cinema!

After which we walked and walked and walked again to get back to the hotel. I swear the states is so big, no one is as crazy as us to walk a total of 6km! Met my 3 other CS friends whom just arrived and so we went out for dinner together with one of their aunts. Luckily for me, I learnt a lot from the aunt on what to look out for and do in US.

Day 3 and work has begun. Okay, we had orientation which took place from 10am to 5.30pm. Gosh, there were so much forms to fill in, drugs test to take and documents to make. We've got uniforms too! Will post out pictures of the park and the uniform the next time.

And surprisingly, after we reached back the hotel at 6pm, the sky was still very bright and si U decided to run round the carpark - my first step to staying fit while still in US!! Though it was harder to perspire, the air was pretty thin and so harder to breathe.

Super sleepy now, can't wait to go sleep but still have to wait for my lazy brother to wake up so I can chat with my family on Skype. Don't know what time he'll wake up and how much longer I can 'dong'.
