Oh hohoho...since it's valentine's smelentine's i thought it would be appropriate to list all my most memalukan why i so satphui moments of my life.....but then i changed my mind la=x....i dowan to die kemaluan okay and let the world know why I....westside blubbie the great *kembangs* can be so embrassingT_T
So I shall list one nia la....because I wasn't the only one being embrassed okay...
People often say university life is the greatest so there will always be moments you cherish and never fade in memories..well me too me too..just unfortunately, it's an embarassing one....
So me and a friend went to six flags sometime last year for a three day two night thing....so it's suppose to be all fun right....theme park.....cartoon characters i think it's looney tunes....yaya..cause i remember seeing daffy duck=x....
Okay la....so we took the train*that time got no car still.....*Never mind that the train was two hours later causing us to reach chicago union station at 12am!!!!!!the worst part was yet to come.....so apparently you lovely blubbie here forgot a little fact that gurnee,illinois is about one hour away from downtown chicago....and it's past midnight so how so how...hotel how la....who lets people in at 2am right=x....
Never mind...so first thing we did was call the hotel to check*worried la that time...because money paid liao..no refunds*...but we got lucky..the receptionist says she is okay with it...can check in anytime also...hohoho....
So hop in cab la....and you know what....the first thing we did and throughout the whole way was to check the meter reading..why we so giam you ask?because apparently to take a cab out of chicago cause one half time more due to the out of town consideration kononnya.....you tell me...I dunno whether true of kena cheated also...but then again past midnight la...must consider cabbie's exhaustion also=x
So when we reach guess how much the cost was......110usd can!!!!!!why we so chamT_T...huhu...never mind cause the tickets were on sale..buy one get one 50%...so at least we reached safely*my sixty dollarsT_T.....210 ringgitT_T.....40 mamak visitT_T...105 ramlee burgerT_T*
So we were all pumped up for tomorrow trip...six flags right!!!!but we were hungry la....and it was like almost 2.30am liao....but but see la..i so smart can*so perasan also*....i got us drinks and nasi briyani before boarding the train*briyani cause this store near school sells it every friday la...so must run to get it cause limited stock...why i so kiasu i dunno*
So since the hotel was really like an temporary apartment not hotel..it's extended stay.....so got equipped kitchen...came with stove and pots and pans and even kitchen utensils can....so we ate our errr?????dinner??supper??breakfast???....then we went to sleep at like 4am...
Next morning we dragged ourselves up at 7.30am!!!!<=we slept at like 4am remember!!!!!then took a shower and got dressed..my friend still got mood to iron her clothes leh=_______=...Went to the counter to asked for directions to the park....lady says only 5 mins ways so we're like never mind la..walk la walk la...so near....since no free shuttle provided in such cheap lodging=x..trust me we paid very little..hahaa...
So we decided to go to mcd for breakfast since park opens at 9am i think.....tak ingat liao....then Katie remembered seeing the park from our trip on the cab so we decided to walk the path she remembered...remember it was supposed to be 5 mins right.....guess what we walked for like 30 mins and we've yet to see the batang hidung of the park leh..how can!!!!!!!30 mins is far beyond comparison from 5 mins okay.....
And and did I tell you about the road path....well let me describe it....no pedistrian walkway la...cause it was a highway!!!!!!so you noe how we walk.....like it was a death sentence...like walking on a plank aboard a pirate's boat....like in the edge....one part somemore got no barrier look down also scared liao cause it was like a barrier...call us stupid but but we were too giddy about the park to care....=x....and also we had to go down this slope downhill also can.....and cross a cemetery!!!!!!==we enced up spending like 10 mins on our way back when we found out the right path to look at tombstones and wonder how those people's life were=x.....why liddat you ask..i also dunno....because we both would never have the guts to go to a real one a night...so go in broad daylight=________________=
So yeah...how we found our way was when we finally decided we've walked enough and were definitely lost.....hahahaha....so we went into holiday inn and found out that we have been walking the opposite direction.....apparently hor...the park was behind where we lived=____________________________=......and we are now 5 miles away.....and the holiday inn staff somemore tell us you see you pick the wrong hotel to stay in cause we provide shuttle....
So backtracked we did.....30 mins later found ourselves in front of our hotel..decided..easy la..walk behind nia ma....so should reach within 5 mins or as fast as my short legs will bring us right^^.....NOT!!!!!!we reached this antique barn store behind our hotel and was faced with a 6 foot wallT_T...never mind we both decided..let's go nearer to the wall and see if we can climb over...desperate moments call for pathetic measures right.....so to get to the wall one has to pass through this part of spiky bushes....never mind....after some scratches on the leg for me....because i was wearing shortsT_T.....we look upon the wall and realized there's no way to climb it...oh yeah we also look around to see if anyone was looking at usT_T.....so we walked back to around the antique shop and saw some short fence.....so we walked to the fence, and decided to climb over itT_____________T....it was spiky fence..and also hor....it was downhill to the higway again..why la you tell me....an adventure before a great adventure theme parkT________________T......yeah yeah...so we did it...and saw the park..wah like tadaaaaa...song playing in head....victory right....not quiteT_T.....walking on the highway we saw that we had to climb a sand molehillT_T....so 5 mins of climbing steep hill.....we saw the parking lot and started shouting in joy*ya we really didT_T*...why why like two country bumpkins nia la....
So got to the park...got in and guess what was my first purchase...plaster with looney tunes face=_____________________=....or bandaids as they call it...blah....
So everything went smoothly after that till dinner time....=_=...left the park......got to the hotel to shower and dress up la for dinner....we decided to take the bus downtown to go to chinatown for food...hahahaha....did i mention that katie was my chinese class partner here???ya so asked for directions from receptionist again.....walked there...waited for the bus in chilly air as it got windy.....20 mins later we see the bus going past us...because we apparently was standing in the wrong placeT___________________T....so we're both too tired....decided to eat nearby at olive garden which had a waiting list of half hour la.....we ordered....and guess what we ate a couple spoons full too tired liao tabao all backT_T.....
Next morning was an early train right back so must get up by 5am to catch train to downtown....we took a cab to thr train station and kept on eyeing the meter for fear of it spiking up like before...but it oly cause us 5 bucks...phew.....waited for the train at 6am and it only came at 7am....blah....it only cost 5 bucks unlimited weekend ride ticket each and my friend was so tired she slept on the train..but me...i got worried as it was already 7.40 and we're not even in downtown yet...8.10 creeped by when we were finally approaching the station...but the thing is it doesn't stop at union station and our train leaves at 8.25am.....so we got off....started asking for directions....and ran like mad can.....reached the station and saw the words.....gate closedT_______________________________T....so we started running to the lady asking her can we please still get on..she said she'll check to see if the train left liao.....came back and ask us for tickets and id....then told us to hurry up as we got lucky they were still checking on the engine or something....but but...when we got on it didn't leave till 1.5 hours later....!!!!!!!!
Amtrak always liddat one..delay nonstop!!!!!!but cheap so cannot ocmplain....=x
So...it was a very interesting trip indeed....i even bore 6 scratches on my leg okay as an endurement to the battle to the park=x
Conclusion is i guess one will never lack excitement in a holiday with me la...rmeember korea trip=x
So anyone up for travelling with me....( i beg youT_T )
