It was full moon a few days after I arrived. The view was so lovely, I just had to take a photo of it. I had full-length windows facing the valley. The lights at the bottom of the photo are from the houses in the valley. The train of lights in the middle right side are from the cars on the freeway. Yeah I could see one of the freeways from my window. Pretty cool yeah. You can get a clearer idea of the landscape from the photos below.




It was so quiet, so different from Singapore. The only noise you ever heard was when a car drove by or a plane flew over.




It's winter season roughly from late Nov to early Feb. San Francisco doesn't get snow, unless you go further north or up the mountains, but they do have fog late at night or early in the morning.


I would wake up really early around 6 or 7am, possibly coz of the cold, run to the toilet then back to bed and hide under the blanket for a few more hours. Then one morning in Dec, I looked out the window and saw this; the sun peeking out through the fog, the warm colours splashing across the sky, whole valley covered in fog, only the tallest trees showing on the surrounding hill side. It's amazing, a work of art. His creations are truly
m a g n i f i c e n t .


This was taken in the evening. Yeah that's the moon. You can even see the reflection on the river.




Another full moon.




My mum, me and my step cousin(is that correct or is it just cousin?).


Me, Lynette and Yiting at the Jap restaurant in Japantown that has fantastic Kobe Beef!!! You can't see Yiting coz he's taking the photo for us. Haha.


Yiting's beloved "yellow shooting star". Love his license plate!


Check out Lynette's boots!


I'll never forget; driving top down on sunny days, blasting techno and eurobeat, speeding along the freeway at night.


Celebrated Yiting's birthday in Jan. 24 years old, so old already! Hahaha. Ok I better not anyhow say, I'm not that young also. Bleah.


We had a Chinese New Year-cum-birthday-cum-farewell steamboat dinner before I left San Francisco.






Two pots. We youngsters handled the spicy stuff. Yummy!


Chinatown. Lynette and I bought that same pink Guess bag at different times. Great minds think alike! Hehe. I love that black JLo trench coat!


I love how the city is divided into little squares. There are a lot of one way streets, but its easy to navigate round that becoz of the square layout.


The most crooked street in the world.


Narcissist me.


San Francisco City skyline. My hair's a mess coz we're on a ferry.


Me and my mum outside a brilliantly lit house. The exterior is full of Christmas lights and decorations and the interior is full of dolls and toys.


The lovely neighbours. These were taken at their house on New Year's Eve.


They were having a party, but I couldn't stay for long, coz Yiting, Lynette and I were going to a Paul Van Dyk party! Absolutely love the top I was wearing, but you can't see it coz of the trench coat. So here are some photos of it. Hehe.

Back.


Eek, I look fat...


My mum's friend, Ken.


Look at the portions! No wonder I gained weight!


Last photo before I left San Francisco.
