Dallas Irving
11:30 AM
Now its 28 May, Wednesday 2008, 11.15am in Dallas.
Which means it should be 12 15 midnight in Singapore!
Its my 4th day here, and im lovin it!
I stay in THE SUMMIT, where by my house is of 2 storey and had a garage.
The apartment itself have 1 bedroom, 1 living/ dining, 1 kitchen, 1 toilet with bathtub, 2 storerooms.
The floor is fully carpeted except the toilet and the kitchen.
Oh, forget to mention washing machine and dryer are provided.
They don’t dry their clothes outdoors! They use the dryer, and it will be dry already.
So werid, still getting use to it.
Culture shock:
When you say “thank you” to them, they reply, “uh huh”
When you go into shops, asking for a particular size for something,
sales person check and tell me \
“ i check the system and it states we have this size, but i don’t see it, it gotta be here somewhere, there is also a section there” and leaves us. Yea, self service.
The walmart is freaking big.
But the point is, you can return ANYTHING you buy from food to drinks to panties? Maybe sanitary pad?
Within 30 days and you get your FULL amount back, without any questions asked.
So my question is, will we buy those products that people return? Like pillows, toothbrush? AWWWWWwwww.
I watched the TV, and they talked about SEX like any other thing.
I also watched the news, and people just get killed(being shot) in dallas. FREAKY!
And when they are excited they say things like “ SHUT UP!” or “Get Outta here!”
Which is our, “bu hui ba!”
In stores, instead of saying, “WELCOME!”
They greet us saying “ Hey, how ur doin!” or “How is it goin!” And i think Caucasians are pretty.
Now baby has gone to work,
which means in home alone,
tabbing into ppl’s net like nobody’s business.
And learnt to cook!
I really hope i can do it!
PICTURES TIME!
Our front door
The road outside the apartment
The stairs after entering the door, i hate t.
ON THE WAY TO DALLAS
IF YOU WANT TO COME TO DALLAS,
OR GOING ON A LONG FLIGHT,
NEVER USE UNITED AIRWAYS!
Their 7hrs seats are bad enough,
their 9 hrs seats is WORST.
cannot move!
their domestic flight 3 hrs,
is more spacious than the above 2.
WHAT THE HELL.
WHEN I REACH DALLAS,
i thought i was almost dead.
