Sunny San Diego: Day 2

31 12 2008

First highlight of the second day of my trip! I met my friend at kitchen area of the hotel during breakfast. Talk about coincidence! Just a few weeks before the trip, she asked me if I have booked a room, as her friend(s) backed out from the trip and she asked if I wanted take over the room. We actually booked the same hotel! :) :) :)

I love hammocks! So relaxing. I have one hammock at home for as long as I can remember! I think it was a gift as I do not recall my parents ever using it.

I do not like sparkling diamonds nor emeralds. I prefer guli-s(marbles)! Aren’t they pretty?

Sunny San Diego: Day 1

7 12 2008

I was quite bz with work, hence, I did not update my blog for quite some time.  Maybe I should just have a photo website instead of a blog since most of my blog posts were dominated by pictures. :)

I was in San Diego during  Thanksgiving break! Gone were the days where a Thanksgiving break meant a week long of break. Miss college!! (summer breaks, winter breaks etc)

We flew to San Diego on Thursday and got a nice car ! :)

Felt really different going on a nice car. Nicer than our current car, at least. :P . After having lunch at Gaslamp Quarter, we had 5 hours to roam San Diego Zoo.  Initially, I thought that 5 hours was A LOT of time, but in the end, we did not cover all the animals. Being  typical kiasu-s, we tried to at least catch a glimpse of ALL featured animals, walking until our feet felt sore,  but to no avail.

There were many types of animals in the zoo. :P (What else do you expect to find in zoos.)

sandiegosouthernwarthogAn interesting animal with horns protruding sideways. This is a Southern Warthog.

I also learned something new when I was in the cable car, and that is, lighting(angle) is CRUCIAL when taking pictures.

Compare this sandiegocable2

What a big difference! Just to make sure we are on the same page, the second pic looks much better!
