Today is Tuesday

Oh well yesterday was fun, got to work at Dipper with zixue & 2 other nice people & caring/efficient sup Kristina.

In the morning, the 4 of us working there went on the rides for testing left Kristina to control the ride. So cool la, nobody else on the ride except 4 ride operators & mechanics & we got to go twice in a row.

Initially, I didn't want to go cos is test ride, wat if something cock up. But it won't la. HeeHee!
I am beginning to love Giant Dipper. Is so fun big big roller coaster.

After work, came back watched Dicey Business HKK show is a new show got it from Zixue. In the evening went on the rides with RuiRong & Nhung. Zixue had to work at candy shop. Tonight we will go on rides again.

So proud of Rong, finally she went on Dipper with me :) All the scarely cats are going on Dipper... HeeHee.

Oh well, can't wait for work to end & wonder wat rides will we be operating today.

Updates

Haven't beeen updating the blog....

A little bit busy cos of work & outtings...

Basically on thur which was my off day, Zixue, Rong & I went to Capitola Mall... spend alot of money... :) Zixue & I always partners in crime for shopping heehee!!!

After capitola mall, came back around 4 plus, then went to the beach to meet Michelle, Nate, Aunty Mary, Aunty Mary's fren Abi & her son Joey. Joey is so cute & he likes to shake to the music. After that headed for a Sumptuous buffet at downtown L8 Buffet, where there is sashimi, sushi, seafood & chinese food. Yummy Yummy... Not expensive just 15bucks only.

Next day, it was japanese food for dinner somewhere near capitola mall...

It was our leaders who brought us there, so nice of Kevin to invite us to join them for dinner & even have to send us back home. We have been suspecting whether Kevin & Julie are together but I doubt so, they are probably very very very very close frens.

Is so fun to be with Julie I love working with her at Dipper. But nowadays no luck to work with her at Dipper so sad....

Here are some photos that we took before dinner.

And starting from 22 June Every Friday Night there is free Band Concerts, Boardwalk is damn happening la....

On 22 June it was Sly & The Family Stone:

Tried to take some pictures but I was too far away from it.... On Friday it was so packed & croweded on the beach... Happening!!!!!!!!!!

The first show starts at 6,30pm and we left at 7pm cos had to wait for Kevin & Julie to end work.

Look at the amount of people on the beach, ANTS. This is just a small portion, there are many many many many more people around.
And also they close Hurrican (Roller Coaster) during the concert, cos the ride is too loud & noisy. And switch off the music at Double Shot....

New Week Again

Today I start Work at 3pm. Having my lunch now.... But halfway Zixue called regarding the fixed schedual. So I ran all the way to the break room at Boardwalk.

Not too bad la, although we couldn't get the same schedule but isn't that bad afterall. Zixue & Rong same. And mine only 2 days different from theirs. HeeHee!!!

Which means next week onwards we can start on our second job. CANDY CANDY

Moving on, this morning I went to the library to borrow books. One time can borrow up to 99 books for about 3 weeks. So cool la.
I went to borrow travel books, as I am starting to plan for my end of sep holiday project.

If URU & CHAR is reading this, you must often e-mail me or have discussion with me kae. I will e-mail more often regarding the holiday plans.

This thursday is our off day. Dunno where to go, maybe go capitola mall. Cos is not too far & no need spend so much money. Each shopping trip will cost us a bomb.

Fireworks on the 16th June Beautiful

Happie Birthday Boardwalk on 15th June

This year is a very special year cos Boardwalk is celebrating their 100 years. Oh well on friday morning had to report work at 8.45am for safety meeting, then at 9am go for the birthday celebration at Merry-go-round, where free rides, cakes & drinks. HaHa! Then ard 10.30 report for work.

What is the safety meeting all about? Ellen our manager says we will have the worlds' shortest safety meeting. Basically we gather outside our breakroom, stand in 2 rows and do warm up exercise for 10mins. Cos to prevent accidents while operating the ride, as a ride operator we should be fit. So that was the safety meeting. But who cares, we are paid anyway. HAHA!

Future!!!

Just spoke to derelyn online, hummm...
What should I do when I go back, take up MBA, another degree or find a job...
Somehow this america trip is an escape for me not to start work so soon.

Derelyn is thinking of getting her masters in perth, it will be fun & good if I can join her. But do i really want to study and if I study what is the correct & right course to take up.

Results has been released and it was slightly better than I excepted. Really thank god & everybody who helped me. Although it wasn't the best honours but at least there was something. Compared to my peers who is in the same course as me, those power engineering idiots who studied so hard all their 4 yrs & much more hardworking & willing to learn more than I do get same class . Is really pure luck that got me through this 4 years. Frankly I know nuts about electrical engineering. ZERO! I only know how to study for exams. After exams I will forget everything.

So given this what makes me think i can study masters. SIGH!!!!

Sigh!!!

Sky Glider like Cable car so sunny today

Anyway today i learnt a new ride, I actually requested for it, haha!!! but is really tough cos yr arms will get so tired lifting the lap bars, is like those cable cars hanging but is not totally a car, just a seat for 2 people with lap bars.

The weather is killing, the sun is so strong, I am like getting burnt & dark. It was hot up there with hot air blowing. GOSH!!! when the summer comes in july is gona be worst.

Gaby trained me there, it was her 1st time to train people at Sky Glider, she was so ken cheong that she talked so fast but I still managed to catch every word she said.

At the end of the day when i returned the keys, my sup ask me how was it, i said it was tiring, my arms aching from lifitng all the lap bars. I told her I wanted to have toned arms that's why request for that ride. so lame. Anyway this sup Kristina is really nice. Another sup Juilie aka my gf cos she favours zixue, nhung, rong & I. haha!!! Before Nhung learnt Giant Dipper, Zixue, rong & I are like her Dipper crews. Practically whole of last 2 weeks, we were there except a few times & days that she was off.

Now more and more people are coming, more students so we wouldn't be that important at dipper anymore.

My left arm aching hell alot, just now massage for zixue and she also massage for me, haha! she was also at dipper but the other end, I didn't know until we were abt to close. Cos she called & I picked up the phone.

Enough of typing today's event

Great America tuesday (OFF DAY)

Many thanks to Gaby who brought us there, love her so much for offering to drive us there. How sweet is that man? And even to buy a shorts to play water rides with us. Thumbs to her. No photo of her cos she doesn't like to take pictures.

Spongebob square pants , there is Nick there, wow!!! Went for Spongebob thriller animated rides.... And took photos with spongebob & patrick.

Too lazy to upload pictures of the rides that I took, GA has lots of funky roller coaster rides & is so much bigger than Boardwalk.

Doggy Beach

Friday we ended work at 3pm, so decided to go bank deposit of pay cheques & also go chill out with Michelle, really fun to be with her :)

After met her at Marini's downtown we went to the doggy beach.

Is really cool working at Marini's cos we get 50% discount.

After deserts, we headed back to the aunty's place to get their dog to go Doggy Beach, is a beach for dogs but only from 4-10pm.

Went to doggy beach in jeans, we didn't know we will go there, but after that Aunty Mary (michelle's aunty) drove us back to get our shorts & change up. And Michelle & her uncle went to get pizza for dinner.

They are really nice people, treat us dinner a few times already, so pai seh!

Let me get back at the doggy beach, the dogs are so wonderful, they dun bark or disturb u, really in the whole of their own. Chasing each other & playing. The dogs here are very well-trained. So fun to be at the doggy beach with so many different breeds.... Dog lovers will love this place man.

See Nate getting wild on the beach, took off his clothes & start playing, frankly it was really very very cold, my legs are freezing but yet he still can take it.

This is their dog, and the owner, Michelle's uncle.. He works in a candy factory so Nate always gets lots of candy candy... :)

Ended the day at Aunty Mary's place, and we went for hot tub which was NATE's favourite thing to do. Really fun, so cold outside & we are soaking ourselves in Hot tub with bubbles (jacuzi)

Zixue & I went to Gilroy on our off day 5th June

Initially, it was suppose to be the 5 of us, but somehow somewhere things changed.

Michelle had to standby to work for Marini's, Nhung wanted to go sight-seeing, Rong sprain her ankle (i think she is getting better now, take care gal).

So left with Xue & I. We woke up very early that morning at 5plus am. Cos the greyhound bus leaves at 6.30am. It was an adventure of us la, walk to downtown in the cold... :) And we took the 7.10pm bus back, so we got back to Santa Cruz ard 10pm.

It was tiring but really fun, bought alot of stuff. Cheap Cheap Factory outlet stuff, but some is expensive.

This photo is while waiting at San Jose greyhound terminal, cos had to change bus to get to Gilroy. Final we reach Gilroy Premium outlets... really big :)

We took a bus from Gilroy greyhound to the premium outlets, so after shopping very tired, we ended shopping at 6pm, then walked to the bus stop and wait for the 6.28pm bus. So while waiting took some pictures. Then realise that we didn't take photo at outside the shops cos we were busy shopping. Scared no time la....

This is the coach stuff that i bought, the colouful one is damn expensive, but the black one is only 21 USD b4 Tax. Alot of wristlets sold out.

This is the fossil watch that I bought 40USD b4 tax, but it doesn't comes with the tin, have to pay 5 bucks extra. Anyway, still worth it la, I bought like 2 extra tins for fun.

Footwear, I bought a gap slipper for fun, no la of cos to wear, cos I only brought one flip flops & I wear them at home, cos the carpets & floor looks dirty & i dun bother to clean.

And see my new shoe, is from sketchers, I wanted to get KEDS, but the designs were so off in the factory outlet.

There are some clothes & addidas t-shirt that I bought really cheap but then haven't take photo yet. The addidas t-shirt cost me only 7.50USD and one was only 5 bucks. I think is nice. :)

Pictures of Seals requested by Mr Lee

This is zixue with seals... :)

Next time when i go to the wharf i will take more photos, but is really cold there, direct sea wind..

Oh well, i am updating all my blog entries now cos the Bagarians are having a party again, this time is birthday party, one of the guys, they are friendly people. Not everybody are like them especially the gals, & since is bday party so he invited us, go for a drink, I ask for beer, cos is clean & never gets to open it except yrself, at least it will be save...

So one of the supervisor is there with his gf, so lame, is pratically all the bagarians hanging out to drink just for fun. Anyway, my room-mate worked late today cos there was some sch graduation & they celebrated it at boardwalk, in fact many schools are doing that.

So my room-mate came back late, then my sup saw her & out of good will he called her over ( at tt point of time zixue & I & nus people quietly left & went back to our room, stayed there for less than 30mins, cos it is so cold outside & we dun drink like them so waste time. )

But guess wat, out of good will he got scolded for making so much noise with them & she is so cute la told the bagarians off also, whether they know e housing rules cannot make noise afer 10pm to 8am.

Is 1.42am now i think most of them are goin off soon, but there are still lots of them

Gay Parade on last sunday :)

This happened on Sunday from 11am-5pm. The parade will start from downtown

to a nearby park. So on weekends we worked at 3pm, since morning free we decided to go downtown take a look at the parade and pick up some stuff at traders joe (supermarket).

The parade was really cool....

Random pictures b4 work

Once again is weekend, so I am doing afternoon shift 3pm till closing, today & tmr boardwalk closes at 8pm. This morning went to Marini's candy shop for paper work, Monday & Thursday we'll start training after boardwalk closes. So which means soon I'll have some extra income for shopping. Basically, everyweek boardwalk gives us 32 Hours only. very stingy lor. where got enough to spend.

Next week Tuesday is my off day, I requested for thursday but they are so watever give all of us Tuesday. Anyway hopefully michelle will not be working and we can all go Gilroy factory outlet shopping together & she can stay over at our place on Monday night. That will be so fun, 5 gals hanging out, so girly. But I like.

Rational of Michelle staying over night so that we that it on Tuesday morning we can all walk to downtown together at 6am. So we are going to take the first Greyhound bus in the morning at 6.30am. Then she dun have to trouble her aunty to send her to downtown.

I just can't wait for Factory outlet shopping.

This is a picture of the seal, so proud hor... want to take photo. Basically there are lots of them near the wharf. They maeke alot of noise, when morning is very quiet we can hear them from my house.

Lobster dinner

Only every thursday there is such lobster dinner.

This is to celebrate our first pay cheque.

The next pay check we'll be going for japanese & seafood buffet

Tuesday on the 29th May
