At e HR building, inside e training classroom, many of the staff were there welcoming us, they said they were very excited for us to come to Universal Studio....cos Singapore is going to ve one too...it will be a gd experience for all of us...we were told of many things...and ve to fill up many forms as well...these re e standard procedures...there was 1 thing tt they say tt sort of 'wow' us...cos of economy downturn in US, Universal Studio ve stop all the internship programme with other countries except Singapore...we re e last batch of interns they re keeping...untill their economy becomes ok again...'wow'...hahaha...oh yeah...my name tag...i use e name 'Hanna' hahaha don laugh...i kinda of like tt name...

I reach Orlando at around 6.15pm (US) den we get transfer to our apartment...i share a room with a girl and 2 guys....hahaha...cos we don wan to get separated...so 1 room ve 3 girls and 1 guy while the other ve 2 guys 2 girls...

we went out to "survey" the surrounding, but everthing is closed as we went out too late..like bout 12 midnight...we return to the apartment around 1.30am plus...hahaha

den i called my parents using skype...i miss them so much...when i called mum at the airport, i thought she cry at the other end...so i...also started crying....>_< but only for a few minutes...

during this trip...i found out a few interesting things...some of us found our long-time-no-c friends frm secondary sch...i am one of them...i met
sylvia see...my WRS classmates during sec 1 & 2...i was abit surprise to c her going to US as well...for the same purpose too...Justina found someone she knew too that she haven c for a long time...hahaha...
the people here are very friendly, but may have a bit of communicationn barrier...the local people sometimes do not catch what we are trying to say...i think is because of the accent we use...to Singaporean...hahaha...that's y we need to repeat ourselves once or twice...but i have no difficulty understanding them...the local people also express themsleves freely...well...going to sleep now...will update more soon...

Scare the Hell out of Me...lucky nothing happen - 1 mar 2009

This morning i had almost a heart attact...or something similar....the phone rings for very long...
at first i thought it was my mum who calls to ask me what i want for breakfast...i almost dont want to answer that phone call....but it rung for a very long time so i got no choice but to get up and ans the phone...(while my sis still snoring away nxt to me...)

It was my dad's friend....he say while my dad was running in the 10km marathon...he got ill...and they are sending him to the hospital...i was suddenly awake and start to panic...after putting down the phone....i start calling many people....my mum....to ask her to come back soon...my uncle...to help my dad fetch his car from the carpark....he was shocked to hear my dad in hospital as just a few weeks ago, my another uncle was in hospital for 2 weeks as well....

A lot of people was made known about what happen my dad...well 1 call lead to another...there's a lot of complication while calling for help....mum got a ride from his brother who is lucky to be at Lot 1 eating breakfast....they when to Changi Hospital and meet up with my dad's brother....

Around 1pm my dad and mum came back....lucky there was nothing much serious going on with him...he just did not have enough sodium (salt) in his body...after all that running and sweating...

Actually i was not that surprise to hear him fall...just that as long as it was nothing too serious...but since is because he lack of salt...i kind of say he deserve it...though im very worried...cos he ran 11km 2 days ago saying he's training for 2day...and went swimming twice yesterday...he was already feeling a bit uncomfortable last night...but what to do...he still want to go running 2day....

Now all of his friends at work know about him falling ill...even the future Department Director knows about it...he's becoming famous...hahaha sort of...I'm just relieve he's fine...=)
