While at the boarding area of TaoYuan airport... Ahaha me and my sis were busy looking at all the jap boys cos thr were so many of them ard. Guess they r boarding the same plane as us cos our plane will be stopping over at Narita for an hour! Think they're on a sch trip or sth... I spotted a really cute one and had several eye contacts wid him plus darn many peeps =P Woahahaha but sadly we were assigned different cabins on the flight =( din haf a chance to tok!

From TaoYuan to Narita...


BTW, so many people thot I was a Japanese!!! Bcos of my permed hair? Or coloured lenses? I dunno Y! Countless air stewardess spoke to me in Japanese asking me which meal or wad drink I want or just gave me instructions in Jap =P Ahaha some I tried to "cheat" by answering in simple words but some really can't sia! Don't even understand wad r they toking abt wahahaha. When I reached Narita airport, one of the cabin crew in-charge at the transit counter even chked to see which passport I'm holding to determine whr I'm from. He said I looked totally like a Japanese, He cldn't understand y I'm not! HUH? jus bcos I'm flew to Japan doesn't make me a japanese! Well, I'll take tt as a compliment =) oh btw he's a japanese man in mid 40's i guess, not the type i'll be interested =P

I kinda got sick of flying =( I had 2 meals on a single flight can u imagine how long is the journey? I have alrdy taken 4 meals on all the flights so far from SIN->TPE->NRT->HNL. You can well imagine how much time I spent on the aircraft =[

Finally got to Aloha Hawaii at 8.30am on 21sept! We headed straight to Pearl Habor as Adam could only meet us at 11plus!


Took a cab thr which cost US15! Ex rite it was less than 10mins la!

At Arizonal Memorial Centre


Boat ride to the Submarine



Woah, as I was busy taking photos wid my sis, someone suddenly called out my name and when I turned ard, I was stunned!

It was Adam! Ahaha It feels really weird to haf someone call out to u in a foreign land whr u know nobody. Furthermore, he's a caucasian! hmmm cos I din expect him to be so cute and funny!!! N very nice too! When I called him, he jus got off work at 2hrs drive from whr I was and was still in his uniform! (BTW, he's a pilot! How cool is tt!) Yup but he rushed back to Honolulu to pick us up!

Oh his car is really cool! It's called "The Car", inspired by the bus system in Hawaii called "The Bus"(u noe like in sg it's called SBStransit).I muz take a pic wid his car soon when I meet him agn on wed! Hmm so sad, he can't show me ard these few days cos he's gg back to visit his family(erm i can't rem whr it is exactly but it's somewhr near Florida =P).

He suggested gg to Waikiki beach and we popped by his hse to grab the surf boards and get changed...



We ate Spicy Cheesy Fries b4 going to the beach. Tt explains my greedy face at the top right corner!

Now, presenting to you...... "The Hula surfer"

Longer surf boards are for beginners, it doesn't mean tt i'm more pro wahaha =P

Surfing was really tiring! I had to "piggy back" Adam to pull me across the waters cos I didn't haf enuff strength to keep paddling wid my arms.

I saw a really huge turtle swimming across the sea rite in front of me with it's head and front fins above water! SO cute! I tink it shd be at least 1 metre cos I saw it from some distance away and yet it still looked big.

Surfing isn't as easy as it seems, I didn't manage to ride on any waves in the end =( Maybe surfed one-quater of the wave? I thot I nearly died man! COs i got hit by 3 consecutive waves and didn't haf time to surface to catch my breath! It doesn't help tt the surf board hit my head so darn many times and other parts of my body too! My bikini went out of place too =P Wad's more? Look at this:

Tt's cuts from the rocks and some sea creatures which I can't rem the names. The black parts resulted from me stepping on sea urchins =( GROSS! It hurt quite alot cos the cuts are like 0.5cm deep? Adam said almost every surfer gets these and they will be smart enuff in future not to step on the sea bed...

Well, the only good thing abt these injuries is tt a cute lifeguard attended to my wounds =O dashing tan cutish guy ahaha but his 1st aid skills was like hmmm...

I cldn't fit into my slippers aft he bandaged my foot wahaha!

We went to the Pali LookOut aft tt


Drive to Sandy Beach


Stopover at petrol kiosk...

Btw, Tt's Adam's car, it's a beach car so it's got a ruggard look! If u'r observant enuff, u'll notice the driver behind me =)

We saw a rainbow too! Adam said it's a common sight in Hawaii and tt explains why their car no. plate and some other official documents come wid a rainbow design!



Sandy Beach...


We stopped by FoodLand to grab some chips, beer and a chocolate cake cos thr's a party at Adam's place ltr at nite!


We watched the Hula dance and fireworks at Hilton Hotel at Wakiki b4 heading back to Adam's place.

It was an international party! We haf representatives from USA, Germany, Saudi Arabia, China, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore!!!

The International Party!!!


Woah quite fun to tok to pple from different countries =) Adam drank and cldn't send us to our couch and Jacob was really sweet to offer to send us back! A photo wid him n_n


This is Elayne! She's s sweet and pretty! N i didn't expect her house to be so cosy and nice! I simply love this couch! So glad tt my 1st couchsurfing experience turn out so well!

It was bedtime right after I reach home... I'm so tired from the long flights and jet lag!!!
