Seattle day 1

Finally i have sometime to try to get some captions on the photos.
As the picture put it Welcome to Japan... the que was damn long lar. Sorry for the Singlish here but its something that is hard to be use here haha.

Vending machines that sell travel insurance

The resting areas was very spacious and comfortable just by looking at the guy

The gates are like super far away, so for anyway travelling in Japan please give yourself some time to get from one gate to another.

Chong Hao (now known as Scott), left and Rikki on the right

Boarding time as i said by the time we clear customs and get from our arrival to depature gate and arrival gate it was just nice.

Meals on board. The breakfast to japan sucks, didn't take a photo of that but the rest were great.

Some of the lunch or was it dinner but it is not bad.

Scott was damn fast lar, first blood on the plane with a Japanese girl... haha wonder what will happen when we start school, a blonde girl maybe?

Portland, well the port of entry to US for us. Its like super crowded and the que moves very very slowly. For clearing immigration i think its took us about probably an hour and again we just got to our next flight just on time.

The Ex Governor of Portland, I can't remember his name but we took a photo of with his Statue

This is Horizon Air, the airline we took from Portland to Seattle.

First time i took a flight that went 45 degrees upwards. The 45 degree upward climb was damn long also lor like mora than 60% of the flight no kidding and even with the steep angle they still serve drinks, i was worried that the cart would be running all over.

Over Seattle

After arriving in Seattle.

We were freezing once we step out of the airport. Haha lucky for me i got more layers on.

Rikki's Aunt Ate Zen prepare the first meal.

From left AJ, John, Zen, Rikki

Aunt Zen

Bank of America, the titles they have for their personnel is like damn high but the things they do its like duh... like just front like job but they have titles like vice president.

To let you feel how cheap it cna get DKNY sweater cost i think $19.90

Yes we have arrive in the U.S, still quite shag from all the travelling and the lack of sleep for the last few days. So for now just a simple photo while we adjust over here. This is a lunch photo with Rikki's aunt during the lunch after touching down. Its not the entire family yett but will get one soon. By the way, sorry to those that were at the airport if i appear grumpy or black face. I guess i was just too tired.

New Year Eve

This years' New Year Eve celebration took place at Claire's place. Haha, the family parked their cars to block off parts of the road behind their backyard to put up tables.

Food, its been a month of feasting

Mario with Jian Ming, I don't know what they are trying to do .... Hahaha

Wei Ming acting cool haha

The tables at the backyard

Jian Ming with Yi Hong's dog Mao Mao

Retro game, Claire prepared some very old games like pickup stick (up), donkey, happy family ... etc

Johnson trying to pull a party popper, looks like he needs a bit more training.

Playing sparklers seems to be a much more easier job

The host joining in the fun.

Oh did i mention, we sort of miss the countdown timing playing majong and UNO haha so we did the countdown on our own set of timing.

New Year wishes

After the countdown its back to the games and we played and played till it was 6.30 haha

23 dinner at Cafebiz

I know this post is a bit late but i was looking for photos. That also reminds me to all those who had old class and event photos please pass it on, copying a JPEG file IS FREE... HAhah. ANyway, we had our annual dinner this year at Cafebiz, recommended by the show Buffet Buffet and guess what the amazing UOB card had to offer. A cool 30% offer but even after discount its like 44 bucks each. Overall evaluation, with the variety not really worth the price. (Rikki stop molesting Ivan as if he is pregnant, whahaha)
Well, it is not all negative, they do have some pretty good stuff but as in for value for money, nope won't pass my benchmark.

Lobster versus Alaskan Crab, definitely Alaskan Crab taste better.

Overnight gaming sessions

This student lounge is a perfect get away, with air con and plenty of couches, tables and most important of all a projecter screen. I have been there twice playing board games and having a movie marathon.
There is only one big problem, it took us 6 hours to play a game of axis and allies. It is so prolong that it tires out my team members which inevitably make people commit simple yet usually fatal mistakes. To some maybe this is an excuse but bearing testimonial to what i said, my team members just gave up halfway and not to mention forgetting one move that could possibly turn the tide of the war. Anyway anyone have any idea how to find old retro games for download. I am looking for PC Axis and Allies (1998 version)
