First of all, Happy National Day @ Singapore :) Missed the live broadcast on NDP.org.sg. I remember the past few years (except for 2008/09) that I always will definitely tune in to the NDP on 9 Aug. Fireworks. Songs. Well, at least I watched the rehearsal for this year... haha!
Secondly, God bless the victims of the Hurricane (or Typhoon) Morakot. Many are missing, dead, buried alive in Taiwan and also in Japan and parts of China. Heavy flooding occuring in parts of southern Taiwan and Shanghai too. tsktsk.
Third of all, the TEEN CHOICE AWARDS! Didn't manage to catch it on FOX but at least I got the results (hope it's accurate).

So sad Ashley Tisdale didn't win the Summer Actress Award for her acting in "Aliens In The Attic". Anyways congrats to all others who won the awards especially Twilight with 11/12 awards as Ashle Greene and Nikki Reed are nominated in the same category. I wonder how could Twilight have so many nominations when the film was OK... not as good as the book. Anyways...
The trip to LA... a soul draining 12+ hours flight to LAX. We checked in @ the Century Plaza Hyatt Regency Hotel. Didn't think we did much on the first day. The next day my sister's bf (Jay) and my whole family went to Santa Barbara (or whatever you spell it). The place was beautiful. It's a small town(s) in the mountains. The buildings are all very unique... those kind of Dutch buildings I think. We went to vineyards, pony farms, lavendar farms (?), ride on those kind of bicycles for 6 people... but it's not really bi- cycle... there are 6 wheels... hmm... then we tour the town and for the next 2 days and went back to LA. The 4+ hours car drive to and fro was tiring too. Back in LA we went to Beverly Hills. My eyes feast on the so many branded stores along Rodeo Drive and the other roads. Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Coach, Omega, Tiffany and Co. etc. but I have no interest in all those kind of stuff so my eyes won't really be feasting on them... Too bad didn't see any stars shopping there that day... It was totally crowded too. Then we drove to Hollywood. The pavements, as most of you should know, are lined with those star thingy with the name of the stars on it. The ones I recognise are Tom Cruise and Snow White. I took photo of the Chinese Theatre or something which is very famous. We didn't drove to the mountain with the big Hollywood sign on it. Later that night we drove to Montery Park to have a Chinese Dinner (finally). We ate duck... Yum. After so many days of sandwiches and western food... finally we had a Chinese meal. Later that night @ 10+pm, we went to LAX getting ready for our flight which is at 1:30am (btw all time stated above are LA time). It was another 13 hours of tiring flight back to Taiwan. + 2+hours of car ride back home. zzz. Had a good time in LA :)
So here I am in Taiwan adjusting back to the time zone here... zzz...
Listening to: Send It On - Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Jonas Brothers
(This song is used for the Disney Channel "Friends For Change" promotion to promote to have a green mind to keep Earth green. The lyrics are very meaningful and the song is catchy. You must listen to it!!! 5/5)
A word is just a word
Until you mean what you say
A Love isn't a love
Til you give it away
We all got to give
Yeah something to give to make a change
Send it on
On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be apart
Reach your heart
Just one spark starts a fire
With one little action
The chain reaction will never stop
Make us Strong
Shine a Light and Send it On
Just smile and the world will smile along with you
That small acts of love
Then the one will become two
If we take the chances
To change circumstances
Imagine all that we could do
If we...
Send it on
On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be apart
Reach your heart
Just one spark starts a fire
With one little action
The chain reaction will never stop
Make us Strong
Shine a Light and Send it On
Send it on
There's Power in all the choices we make
So I'm starting now not a moment to wait
A word just a word
Until you mean what you say
A love isn't just a love
Until you give it away
Send it on
On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be apart
Reach your heart
Just one spark starts a fire
With one little action
The chain reaction will never stop
Make us Strong
Shine a Light and Send it On
Send it on
Send it on
On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be apart
Reach your heart
Just one spark starts a fire
With one little action
The chain reaction will help things start
Make us Strong
Shine a Light and Send it On
Shine a Light and Send it On
Shine a Light and Send it On
