20061127 - Chicago:Part II

Let's hope blogger is nice to me today;

Hmm, where were we...ah yeah, chicago Day2.


One of the signboards outside a theatre

nice shot of some random buildings with good light

this blob of a statue in the middle of nowhere that looked like crushed paper written on with a marker

is that a skyscraper or what?!?

that's the iceskating rink from 'The Lakehouse', outside that fancy restaurant in the movie

the chicago bean..or somethin like that. cute stuff. more of the bean.....




me, the rink and the jacket that would make gay men go nuts -.-



do not ask me what we were doing. randomness.





that's the view from 94 storeys up. kinda hard to take a clear picture at night for some reason. nice lights huh?

So that was kinda it for Chicago actually. Then that night we drove down to Aurora Malls to do some shopping and found out that singaporeans aren't the only ones who go nuts when there's a sale. DIfference between the americans and singaporeans? Americans just grab whatever they can during sales, no matter what the price.

American Mentality = it's on sale, so whatever it is, it's still cheaper than it was.
Singaporean Mentality = it's on sale, if i buy this, i will only save 5 dollars. With that 5 dollars, i cannot buy another one of the same item leh. Aiya, not buy one get one free. Not worth it. Lemme go look at the other shops wor.

With mentality like that, it's no surprise why the Great Singapore Sale has alot of people, and the whole event is a long drawn out thing..and people come out of it with probably a bag full of clothes if everything goes well. In America, they come out of the sale with enough apparel to fill up a pick-up truck.

The drive back was kinda uneventful. Except for that blip when we were bout 5 miles from Bloomington. And that's gonna remain our little secret. Nobody needs to know hor shuzhen? And pam? Lallalaa.

OH yes and i managed to drive around Bloomington on Saturday because the car was parked at David's place..and i was the housekeeper for his place over the weekend. Haven't driven in a long time, so that was kinda fun.

So school's started and i got back to my usual routine...oversleeping and missing my first class. It's not that i wanna skip, i wake at 7, but close my eyes and the next thing i know, its 830! But i don't miss all my class la, so..don't worry!!

So that's it for my Chicago trip, got alot of pictures but i can't possibly put all of them up! Because if i do, i'll probably get real mad and smash my computer. But i don't wanna break it! Unlike my poor, pathetic roommate. His computer's broke. Awww? So now he's just sittin his butt on his head, reading notes.

Life without the computer+internet...can't imagine that.

Check out this advert..the Sharapova one. Boyyyy is she hott...kinda.

ps: blogger was nice to me today
