Awesome Winter Break (Part 1-Texas & Louisiana)

Alright enough for the summary of my busiest (fall) semester ever.

Here comes my long-waiting super AWESOME winter break! =)))))))


Kelsey, my beloved roomie ever, with the presents that i gave her... She transferred to Carroll University at Milwaukee in the Spring... I'm gonna miss her badly! I was so blessed to have known her!! She's just simply amazing!! I'm so glad that she's part of my life here. =)


Okay, time to go for Winter break!!! Dinner at Peninsula Restaurant (a Malaysian cuisine restaurant at Minneapolis)... Was playing joke with a waiter and well, he served a pudding cake for me at the end of the dinner, fun guy! LOL XD


At Mystic Lake Casino! First time in my life for entering the casino and winning 10 dollars! =DDD

Texas Trip:


First Stop: Dallas, TX

Date: 20th of December, 2010.

Simply loitering in the city. It was so quiet during Sunday.

Only Pauline and i were travelling together at Dallas. We had a "scary" night experience in order to get back to our hotel late at night in a totally strange place. haha, it was fun though. great experience! haha
Second stop: Austin, Capitol of Texas
Date: 21st of December, 2010
Austin, Texas' State Capitol! where Pauline and I met up with Charles and May Chong... We rode Greyhound bus, and both of them came up all the way from Houston... It's so nice to meet up with old INTI friends =)))

Posing in front of the capitol =)

Our shadow~ =)))))
The night view at Austin!

Four of us for the Texas Trip!! Charles was so "blessed" to have 3 pretty girls along with him! *cough cough* hahahhaha XD
Third Stop: San Antonio, TX
It wasn't in our plan originally, but since Charles was the "driver", so we decided to stop by San Antonio before heading to Houston.

First-sem-friends rock! keke!

Girls and the christmas tree!! =)

In front of the famous Alamo at San Antonio!

I like this picture, the whole scene looks so old and tranquil! =)
The famous San Antonio riverwalk!

The beautiful sunset.. Picture was taken out of coincidence.. GPS brought us to a longer route after a McDonald's coffee rest stop on our way to Houston.. Lol
Fourth Stop: Houston


Had our dinner at Banana Leaf, a Malaysian cuisine restaurant... Looked at what we had ordered: Nasi Lemak with curry chicken, Belacan Fried Rice and Belacan KangKung!! Delicious!!!!!!!!


Having Karaoke-session at Chinatown Houston.. The settings was great! Comparable or even better than Neway! haha XD we had great fun there! And not to forget those videos that had been taken huh! HAHAHAHA

Real NASA offices! Houston Space Center! This is sooooooooo COOL!!!! =DD

Once a real space shuttle =)))

Having our "faceprints" on the screen =)))

Chinatown-Hong Kong City at Houston!!
On our way back to Louisiana from Houston! Hey Charles, don't pose so much! Keep your eyes on the traffic please! hahaha XD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Louisiana
Fifth Stop: Baton Rouge, LA

Local Louisiana food a.k.a Cajun Food at The Chimes, BR. Tried Poboys (sandwich) with crawfish and alligators meat! I love the food there! By the way, alligators meat tasted like chicken with more chewy texture! LOL
Sent May Chong to Greyhound Center after the meal and a short rest at Charles' apartment.
Had a fun laundry session on that midnight! hahahah XD
P/s: Charles' bed was sooooo comfortable! LOL
Sixth Stop: New Orleans, LA
After sending Charles to the airport early in the morning (he needed to catch flight to New York for his following winter break trip, and our flight were at 3 in the afternoon leaving down south to west coast San Francisco), his Louisiana friends brought us to hang around New Orleans.
New Orleans is such a pretty and neat city... Weather was cozy.. We're just hanging around the city center, I wondered if that's the reason that i didn't see much on how hurricane Katrina had affected the city few years back...

Bourbon street, the most famous street in New Orleans... It's the best place to hang out at night for all the entertainment that you could think of! Strip clubs, liquors +++ XD

New Orleans Cathedral =) Such a decent building!

Charles and his wife - CHARLE5 which had been pulled over by the state patrol twice! lol... Drive safely, k? Anyway, not to forget to give special thanks to his wife for the whole trip!
