2nd day of quickstart. yadda yadda. We were supposed to go to the cooking class after lesson at 6.00pm . lessons ended at 4pm so most of us headed back to hotel.
The bed is so soft, so nice....zzzzz 6.15pm ARGH! grabbed my stuff, rushed up to the office and realised that the bus has just left. Another quickstarter, Matthew also missed the bus and we went to downtown to settle our dinner.
I took him to the cheesecake factory to have dinner. There was too much variety of food, till we had difficulties choosing. I settle for the factory burger and he had pasta.
Later we went shopping for a digital cam as he wanted to get a digi cam for his gf. The shop that we got the digi cam from was really cool and I love the tempur pillows..Click here


We went straight back to hotel after that. I watched a lil tv before zzzz...

1st day of quickstart, we started introducing ourselves and I really had difficulty remembering names...geez. there were 34 of us excluding the instructors.
Great lunch. After lessons we went back to our shacks and met up at night roaming around for FOOD. ate cod fish + chips. milk and juice is cheaper than soft drinks. 99 vs 1.99.
The chips is really salty...geez woah, argh, in the end didn't really eat the chips.

Here's Sunday, damn tired yesterday and i lazed in bed till 10am, watched television to 1pm. And you might ask what the heck are you doing not travelling around.
Yea yea, I left the hotel at about 1pm. So I've decided to visit the space needle area. Went to the Experience Music Project and Sci-Fi Museum and Hall of fame
Experience Music Project had showcase of big name like beatles and elvis presley. I had a chance to learn the drums, synthesizers,etc
It was really great! For the science fiction museum, there were many exhibits, life size queen alien from avp. Star wars, stuff and there was laser pistols of all sci fi movies or tv shows.
After that, there was this big fountain. I think it is about 100 times bigger than the one at parco bugis junction. Ate a hot dog for lunchie which cost me 2USD. Nothing much but I was really hungry.

I went up to this space needle thingy. Click here Just for 13USD, you can go up on top. 600 ft i guess. Almost fainted...so high sia..
Later I walked from the space needle to downtown which took me about 20 minutes or a little more. Stopped by a conveinice store for some bottled drinks and snacks.
When I reached downtown, it was about 5pm already, and I realised that the shops are closed around 6pm. Well I went to Barnes and Nobles and didn't know you can bring your dog with you.
I was reading some magazines, then this little grey doggie came beside me hehe..
I settled my dinner at pacific plaza at this burger shop, from time to time they would get out of the counter and dance. Interesting concept, only that the fruit juice taste like cherry.geez. dun really like that.
The burger was great though.

After that I went back to the hotel, that is around 8+. I was really tired, watched a poker competition on television and then zzz
