Day 1
We checked into our hotel...hostel... and very grumpily unpack slightly... immediately, we rushed out to find another hotel... YMCA... where we found that the rates were a mere ard 8bucks more than the hotel we are staying at.

After that, my friend benny,brought us to eat at the local lil restaurant. After that, we went to Avenue of stars...see all the handprints of stars...and there..i took picture with... ANDY LAU!!

Confusing? Elyn, Elaine, Eileen.

Our dean remembers everyone of us..our names..but Prof Ho, is like our usual blurry but super genius prof... til the last day, day 7, he cant remember our names..and he told me, he will remember me because I wear cowboy boots..erh..so if I dun wear cowboy boots back in spore, he wont remember me???! erh...
