Time in Irvine,California, USA
Thursday, March 26, 2009

It's been already 4 days in San Francisco and time really flies! We're done with our 1st destination out of our USA tour. Went to Westin Hotel elevator last night which was like a bullet lift with windows facing out to the open. Just for the thrill of it, we shot all the way up to the 31st level and jumped! Once our feet left the ground at 31st floor, we floated for about a second! And because it was this fun, we went up 3 times.
San Francisco is beautiful. Drove across the Bay Bridge, cycled across the Golden Gate Bridge, marveled at the sea creatures in Monterey Bay Aquarium, walked around Fisherman's Wharf.

Fog is here! Just saw it just now. No fog in Singapore but fog in America! This is how it's formed:
Fog is a cloud bank that is in contact with the ground. A cloud may be considered partly fog; for example, the part of a cloud that is suspended in the air above the ground is not considered fog, whereas the part of the cloud that comes in contact with higher ground is considered fog. Fog is distinguished from mist only by its density, as expressed in the resulting decrease in visibility: Fog reduces visibility to less than 1 km, whereas mist reduces visibility to no less than 2 km.

Lois taking up her notes to study at the UCI busstop
Whew... just finished 5 essays (4-5 pages on average) in 4 days... I feel like floating now... Today and tmr are finals days and i'm done with school in UCI! For those people who doubt that I was studying in my exchange programme, I have specially attached a photo of myself studying. It's up to you whether or not to think that I was really studying in this picture. It's just evidence to show you. In 6 days, I would be heading for San Francisco and the rest of the U.S!

Evidence of a mouse's presence - dropping. we collected a small bottle's worth
There's a mouse in the apartment O_O and Rochelle only saw a long tail attached to a black body. and the 'twack' sound of its tail. after that, she just shouted like crazy we thought the world was crashing down. It's still a phantom mouse and hiding somewhere in the apartment. Only 1 bedroom yet it managed to hide. so we laid 4 of our rotten squashes and 4 red bean seeds near the hole where we thought it would be hiding. Waiting for results tomorrow and also a complain will be lodged in the morning when we wake up. Just came back from a night's stay in Big Bear and a day's worth of snowboarding, with aching bodies and everything, and we come back to a mouse house. Before Rochelle's screaming episode, I actually saw a mouse dropping. thought it was a sour plum till i smelt it. Makes life so interesting...

Huntington Beach, Orange County
Every promise of the Lord has been fulfilled so far, so as it is every morning when I wake up. I love this hymn written by Kristyn and Keith Getty and would like to share the lyrics with you. It's titled 'Every Promise' and speaks of God's faithfulness, that is new every morning.
Lamentations 3:22-23 ~ 22 Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for His compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness.~
From the breaking of the dawn to the setting of the sun,
I will stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word.
Words of power, strong to save, that will never pass away,
I will stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word.
For Your covenant is sure,
And on this I am secure—
I can stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word.
When I stumble and I sin, condemnation pressing in,
I will stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word.
You are faithful to forgive that in freedom I might live,
So I stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word.
Guilt to innocence restored,
You remember sins no more—
So I'll stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word.
When I'm faced with anguished choice, I will listen for Your voice,
And I'll stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word.
Through this dark and troubled land
You will guide me with Your hand
As I stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word.
And You've promised to complete
Ev'ry work begun in me—
So I'll stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word.
Hope that lifts me from despair, love that casts out ev'ry fear,
As I stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word.
Not forsaken, not alone, for the Comforter has come,
And I stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word.
Grace sufficient, grace for me,
Grace for all who will believe—
We will stand on ev'ry promise of Your Word.
