the trip i didnt expect to go turned out (i ran out of words) it's better than fantastic/awesome/good/etc...seriously it was like a tour to paradise!
since the ex-AUP club members ditched the plans to meet up, i dont know what should i do for thanksgiving too and i was DESPERATE to leave the hell out of Lincoln. in the end i joined a group of 7 to MN (Minnesota).
we have fair numbers of guys and girls, same level of "shop-aholism" and "camwhorism" among all, we agree to everything, we were always on time, not that we were strict with our timings but we managed to sight see a lot. :)
compared to my last MN trip, that was like a disaster. enough said. hate that :(
1st day (25th Nov, thanksgiving eve)
eng hong and ian went to get the cars early morning. KC messaged me to be ready at 10am...
everybody was there by 10am! woot! *love*
we had mcd breakfast since few of us were not so lucky to have luchelle to cook breakfast! haha..
at 11am we left Lincoln...heading towards I-80 (the usual interstate to go IA, MN)
ian, kc, chia sin n i in our chevrolet malibu...
way loon, luchelle, celestine, eng hong in their ford impala...
we look like some rich kids driving big cars ok...damn cool!
truth is ugly... (those cars were rented) XD
since we didnt really meet each other during school days, we had so much to catch up on the way there. :) we chat/accompany ian(the driver) so he wont fall asleep! haha...
actually not really accompanying...see...thanks to KC though...
and his new dai-gor-dai to communicate with the other driver...cool huh!
when we reached des moines for restroom, ice started to fall, kind of like hail storm. o.o!!! most of us assume weather in MN will be fine so our thickest jacket was our fall jacket...craziness! we were supposed to have indian buffet but we were late so we skipped lunch...expected for a better dinner! muahahahahaha
when we were still in iowa, it was snowing like dogs and cats on the interstate! omgwtf...!!!
*remember our fall jackets??*
anyway we arrived at downtown Minneapolis at about 6pm with clear weather...checked into the hotel...
o.o
HILTON garden... hahahahaha but still under Hilton k!
woot!!
4 girls to a room; 4 boys to another room. we didnt get rooms next door though...wasted!
then we met up with celestine's friend, Geok Simm (whom i just knew she's from penang as well) at a Korean restaurant
omg love!
*prison break 1* = korean food
*slurpppppp*
then she brought us to the Stone Arch bridge.
apparently it's very famous to bring tourists there for night view of downtown.
but it wasnt that "cool"
instead it was FREEZING!
the view was obviously scenic but the wind chill beats everything!
left to right: chia sin, KC, me, eng hong, ian, way loon, luchelle, celestine
only luchelle and celestine have the thickest jacket! o.o
then she brought us to the Guthrie tower
*i've no idea why were we there though*
BUT!!!
we spent most time there!
probably because it was indoor, we have a good photo shoot place, and we are just being sampat cz we dont always go to tall buildings?!
dont look down on this "stairway to heaven" from level 1 to level 4
it has its own purpose...i'll reveal later
then then then
wan yi who walked all the way to look for me!!!! omg love....some more havent taken dinner!
love!!!
then she went for dinner :( didnt really get to catch up with her yet...but i was also quite busy and high taking pictures d...zzz...felt bad for neglecting her...
that's where we spent the hour taking crazy pictures due to the red screen...
after few tries of jumping shot, everyone was tired except chia sin and i....i never fail for jumping shot during trips right! haha
the stone arch bridge from guthrie tower
we are a bunch of people who just love the camera!
it was bout time to leave but...
we still take more pictures at the escalator...
and more sampat pictures...
that's what the "stairway-to-heaven" for... XD
then we headed back by 11-ish for KC to submit his homework.
stay tuned for the thanksgiving trip day 2
