So,
Today marks the official 1 month since i've been here. Things are going well, the hotel occupancy is picking up and the weather is still as sucky as ever. Still, I love Seattle. It may not be the MOST happening city in the whole of US, but it has a special charm to it. AND, not to mention I think i can seriously live here for 1.5 years. I could even live forever. Ok, maybe not, coz i'd miss my family and friends too much but seriously, there's so much things to see and do here! The rainforest is awesome and i love exploring olympic national park!
Recent activites i did include:
1. Trip to the famous Twilight town of FORKS, to LA PUSH (where to native wolves are from), to Port Angeles, to the almighty HOR rainforest... and to the pier, where I took the ferry to Bainbridge Island. The ride was awesome, and I could just stare at the sky and sea the whole day. Yes i'd die of hypothermia but hey, the view's awesome. You don't get such views in SG!
I was so glad that Kelvin came by to visit me! Finally I've got friends in town that can accompany me to field trips, to go shopping... but 5 days was over in just a blink of an eye. The farewell was sad and the man who took the last pic at the departure gate said to me: "You're not going?" and when i heard that, i was so upset :( I wana go LA! Kel says the weather is 21 degrees and it's all sunny. WOW. I need sun!!!
Finally, Comcast installed internet and cable tv in my room. Fantastic, now i spend my off days at home resting, eating, sleeping, watching headline news, and surfing the internet. Days pass so fast that i think maybe this 1.5 years will also be over in a blink of an eye!
Besides work, there's nothing else really interesting in my life at this time... I hope there would be. Well i'm sure there are alot more interesting things happening around the world now. I'm still planning how i can make my stay here alot more eventful and filled with itineraries so that by the time i leave i won't have any regrets, unlike the time i spent in swiss. I regret not paragliding nor skiing nor sky diving there. I should've been more daring and taken more initiative!!
Alrighty, time to go for a bathe. After that, it's time to sleep! Work next day at 6.45am. Seriously, who in the hospitality doesn't have dark eye rings? I've got pimples popping out like wild flowers in spring and it's irritating the hell outta me. 5 layers of moisturizers ain't helping! Argh! Maybe someone should send me OXY :)
Have a great you all!
