.....and so we continue....back to LA...

Oops....it's been a looong time since I've updated my blog...sorry...been real busy and travelling again....and mainly just plain lazy! :P

So much has happened and so many things have transpired and I still want to write it all down so you can share these experiences with me....

And so I continue with my month long trip...nope..it hasn't ended yet! Just to recap, this trip took place from end april to early may....

So we are now back to early May....

After London (where I had a great time!), I went back to LA for some serious stuff....It's time to get back to work after all the fun....So it was the Educators' Week back in the Dermalogica Office where all the Dermalogica educators from all countries came together to learn new skills and techniques.
Here's some pictures of us in training....

And me getting an eye treatment...shiok! hehe...


Although there were lots of practical training, there were also lots of theory classes....here's me looking a little bored and trying real hard to stay awake!
Other than 'work', the office also threw a themed party for all of us...it was back to the "Disco Nites"! It was really quite fun and everyone was really sporting and got into the spirit of things...some of the outfits were so outrageous and there were lots and lots of afro hairdos!





Caught on camera on my no. #??!!@@ trip to the chocolate fountain....super yummy!
And they actually had some dance instructor create a simple dance for us to learn....to the song of "Do the Hustle"!

There were some pretty cute decor all around place.....such as this disco ball at the dance floor...


......shiny buffet table display.....

....and these cute light up cubes!

The party also had free flow of alcohol...not such a good idea 'cos some people just have no control.....like this educator...he actually didn't have that much to drink but just that he drank on an empty stomach and he mixed his drinks.... And as my auntie drove, we had to help carry him back to the hotel!

When we got back to the hotel, no one could carry him as he was a dead weight and no one wanted to carry him as he had puked all over himself! So we had the conceirge bring out their luggage trolley and we rolled him onto it and pushed him back to his room!


As we also couldn't lift him onto the bed....we tried to place him on the sofa seat, but he kept sliding back down! So we just left him sitting in front of the seat, throw the blanket over him and let him a bottle of water next to him.....hehe....

Some of the interesting things I encountered during this segment of the trip......such as this motorbike for a handicapped person....very very happening...


Check out the license plate.....cool or what!?!?? So appropriate too! :)


This is one of my favourite stores....ROSS.....'cos they have designer brands at really cheap prices and they have clothes in my size...only thing is that it is a MESS! You really have to dig through every single item and you can find some gems hidden in there...hehe...

Had the opportunity to meet up with Tse Tse as well, haven't seen her since school days so it was great being able to catch up again....We had Pink Berry, something like Yummy Yoghurt (or is it Yammy Yoghurt?!?!) in Singapore, just with more toppings and more fanciful ingredients. It's really big in LA, there was a loooong line of people just waiting to get their fix! It was quite yummy....
We also had some really yummy Mexican food...it was quite an experience for me because it's like a cantina and you order from the side along the road and then carry the food back to the eating area....we had burritos and nachos with jalepenos...it was really yummy! But the weather was soooo cold I was shivering half the time :P




My luck was certainly better on this trip back to LA as I managed to also tuck into some really good Korean BBQ!


Check out the amount of meat we had to bbq!!!

But my favourite was their Kimchi Soup....it was sooooo delicious, not too spicy, not too sour and it was piping hot! I had 2 bowls! hehe....

And so it was time to leave and head for San Francisco.....packing our luggage was a challenge....remember, we had already been travelling for 3 weeks and that meant that we had 3 weeks of shopping to add on to our luggage as well....check this out!



That was our luggage for 3 persons......compare that to this picture I took of the luggage for a family of 4 who was also leaving at the same time as us....hehe....


Are we the champions or what?!?!! hehe....
