New Year. Pretty Ordinary.

Okay, so my dad, brother and i were on the "Las Vegas Boulevard" to celebrate New Year. At exactly 10 secs before midnight, the countdown start. Everybody was shouting different numbers, so we didn't really know who was right/wrong. So we just waited for the fireworks to come. Fireworks are always pretty. But this time, they're extraordinary. Lasted for a total of 10 minutes. Do anyone know how much that cost? Like hundreds hundreds of dollars. Apparently, 1 firework's price range from $500 to $2000. Why couldn't they save that money and give them to the poor children in Africa? Geez people. Arum, you too. Why didn't you save that $500 for poor / homeless children in Jakarta? After spending that 10 mins thinking bout some sad stuff, we bought McDonald and went home. What a boring new year celebration.
I hope you guys had betters.

One thing I learn after this tho, is that for any holiday celebrations, they're only fun if you spend them with those who enjoy your company and vice versa. I don't particularly enjoy hanging out with my dad + bro so.... it wasnt a very exciting new year!

I'm flying back to L.A tomorrow. I'll be going to Hollywood, Universal Studio and some MAJOR shopping as well. So Arum, get ready to be even MORE jealous =P.

It's a new year!

Okay, so i did NOT post for X-mas, my bad. I was busy that day after all. So i'm gonna try and make up by posting on New Year's Eve.

At the moment im in Las Vegas. It was my dad's idea to celebrate New Year away from my mum (yup, she's in VN all by herself <---- what are you thinking dad?). Anyway, Vegas is exactly like what i expected. Full of shiny, stylish building with huge and colorful lights. I'm staying at this hotel, on the 31st floor, which has the most incredible view of the city, if this stupid pyramid wasn't in the way. Yes, there is this gigantic pyramid, in the middle of the pretty view, blocking like 40% of the view. This MUST be America's idea of a joke.
BUT, the pyramid is pretty cool. It's exactly like those in Egypt, except this one is cover with glasses on the outside, and inside is a hotel for people who are still breathing, unlike Egypt's.

Gambling, every 10 meter square in Las Vegas, you can expect to find 90% of it is filled with Casino tables and machines. It drives me insane. Everywhere i set sight on, i see people gambling their stupid lives away. Apparent in Vegas, you can get a VIP card if you LOSE a lot of money <---- Another American Joke?

Shows, Vegas has many, many incredible shows! LIke hundreds of finely decorated, orchestrated plays. 3D animation also plays a big part in it as well. We saw this Tom Hanks - Magnificent Desolation show, and it was boring as hell if wasnt for the 3D effects. It's like a Physics Study Video about the Moon. BORINGGGGG. And there was this Pirates 4D show, which was totally awesome! It was so real! All the bees and the bats, they look so real that they were scary. My brother was like squeeling....The reason they called it 4D was because when the birds shat on the pirates in the movie, water were spraying on us from the top. When the bats were flying around, things fly through and hit our legs. Pretty cool huh?

Strip Shows : i can't go in since i have my brother nagging me everytime i walk close, so i can't tell you guys what's behind closed doors. But the titles of the shows are pretty damnn gay. Eg: Fantasy Fulfilled. The world's most seductive topless strip show. <--- topless only? Hello? $50 dollars for that?. Thunder down Under. The best import good Australia has to offer. You guys guessed it. Males strippers. And guess what? They're from Australia! *sigh* i "love" australia.

Women, Vegas has the prettiest women i've ever seen. Everywhere you walk, you see ugly / old / going to die today men who are happily escorted by pretty, pretty women. There was the old saying: "Money can't buy love". I think in Vegas "Money can buy pretty much everything, except air". However, if the US government allow these greedy American to sell air tho, they'll probably packaged them in bottles and sell them to you at a throat-cutting price. I mean, common, the prices in Vegas is RIDICULOUS! $7 for a bottle of water? You can get laid in Thailand for that amount of money for NatS ' sake. (Yes Joel, i'm serious)

Shopping, Arum would definitely like this place. It's full of $10 shops, where you can buy lots and lots of pretty items. They're probably crappy in quality tho, but meh, Arum wouldn't care as long as they're all colorful and cheap, right?

That's about all for Vegas so far. Tonite, i'm going out for the countdown. It should be fun.

Happy New Year Everybody! Have a wonderful year ahead, full of joy and surprises!!
