I've been back in SG for close to 2 weeks. Realise I've really neglected my poor blog!
During the last week of our stay in US, we had a road trip to San Francisco and LA. It was very tiring. I felt very tired all the time. I'm getting old indeed. And we had to travel so many hours on the road. Pictures will be up later.
The flights back to SG were terrible. I'm so sick of flying now. I told CY I'm never going on long-haul trips again ha.
I had never sneezed in US and when I'm back here, I sneeze every single day! My poor nose.
So far, have only met up with the Lian group. Too tired to meet the rest. And Keith was down with chicken pox, after sore eyes. He's just recovered, but Serene and I are banned from meeting each other still. Sigh.

Tried making sushi for dinner yesterday.
My elderly neighbour gave us some freshly pluck tomatoes yesterday while I was making the sushi. Home-grown! Isn't that lovely?
My attempt at making sushi:
Unglam auntie concentrating on rolling the sushi.
Tadah!
Suceed! Happy and proud of myself :D
Verdict from CY? Doesn't taste that well. Too bland. "Or I am used to dipping it with soy sauce and wasabi," he said.
Ok, I will try harder next time.

Borders was having its closing down sale, so CY and I went to grab some books.
All these..
Cost us only $15.26.
And we saved a whopping $136.85!!
This one was bought earlier in the sale, at about $2.95?
Also went to the library to borrow some books again. All from the non-fiction shelvcs. They hold more interesting reads than the fiction ones here.
This will keep me entertained for two weeks, I hope.

Last weekend was the Labour Day weekend in the States, so we made a trip to Las Vegas.
The car we rented.
Our hotel.
The weather was really bad there. Too hot for my liking.
On the first day there, we had a road trip to Grand Canyon. Before that, I was deliberating if I wanted to go for, (1) We had to drive 5 hours there and 5 hours back, and I seriously didn't know if my butt could take it and (2) CY had been there for two times already. This would be the third time he went if we should go.
After seeking the advice of CT and PQ (both answered with a resounding "Of cos!", I decided that I should brave the dreadful ride and go for it. It's a 难得的机会, isn't it?
On the way to wilderness.
After an hour of drive, we reached Hoover Dam. Before these three months, I had no inking what Hoover Dam is all about. Then before we came, Channel 5 showed "Transformers". And we watched it another two times here (the US channels keep looping the movies. Sidetrack a bit, CY watched Kill Bill at least 4 times as I kept interrupting him by making him change channel at the gory parts. Until finally he told me to stay away from the living room the last time.) So I knew Hoover Dam was the place where they kept the Autobots.
To Lake Mead first.
At Hoover Dam. No, we didn't manage to find any Autobots.
On the way to more wilderness. Four more hours of it, in fact.
After four hours of drive, I was extremely happy to see the town, Williams. Actually, I was happy because of the McDonald in the town. My bladder was almost bursting.
Finally reached after another hour. See his grin :D
So this is the legendary Grand Canyon.
That is the view I see everywhere.
At another viewpoint.
And another viewpoint. The best one.
The glaring hot sun. We had to drink a lot of water to hydrate ourselves.
Went pass the Flinestones campground on the way back, but too hot and tired to get down the car, so just took these from the car.
On the way back, grateful that the sun was about to set.
And that concludes our road trip to Grand Canyon. Shall blog about the Vegas strip another time. It's taking a long, long time to upload all these photos.
