Trip to US - Cont ..

Nothing much happen today . Just a ordinary day, with reading and napping happening around in the house. Addicted to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes .. hmm .. thanks alot Liz for borrowing me that interesting book .. was looking for it for very long time. Oh well .. lets cont my US post .. b4 I start forgetting wats happen.

3rd Day ..
Disneylaand !! Woohoooo .. I dream to come to this place since I was young .. yet now I gotmyself ! Was happy in the morning .. till the news reported "Hurricane Jeanne is ariving at Orlando, Florida approximetly 7pm" #$!%@#@ ... So the Disneyland plan still on .. we bought the tix and we really enjoy inside ..the food, the place and so on .. and not to forget those rides. The one impress me most is the Haunted Mansion. There is one part where the ride travel to the highest point in the dark and sudd go down .. hehe nice .. seeing those effects that they use .. hmm ..satisfied .. but there is this part when the rain falls down so sudd and everyone ran for shelter .. I got myself a shelter .. but yet I stil drenched .. just prevent my video camera is ok .. I was standing in the stall u see.. but there is 1 mother with the baby .. in the carriage.. but sad is the baby was exposed to the rain .. so I make myself stand infront and looking at the baby .. with my back expose under the rain. I took couple of pics with those mascot .. No supprise .. whenever Mickey mouse is ..there is the crowd .. I never took pics with him .. but I choose Miko from Pocahontas ..and Pinochio and so on .. not to forget the Walt Disney Statue as well. The Disneyland is really big .. 4 theme parks. From 1 themepark to another u need at least a 10-15 minutes drive .. can imagine the size ? Is like 1 PJ .. The Disneyland is closing early !!! and It is the 1st time in the History the Disneyland of Orlando, Florida is early this day!! On the way back .. we stop by a convenient shop .. forget is it the 7-11. Got some food and some drinks .. just in case. No idea how terrible is the hurricane is .. but is alwiz better to store up. According to the driver .. it will be more than a 24hours thing. Everyone inside the shop grab watever they can .. is like the end of the day. Kewl experience .. back to resort .. and saw a torchlight hanging at the door knob .. with a note .. saying "Just-in-case" . Oh well.. lots of phone voice mail from the management of the hotel .. and so on .. telling us stay away from the window and so on .. and stay in the room all the while .. till they tell us is safe to go out.

Hit of Hurricane Jeanne that travels 115mph (Around 150kmh)
By 8pm .. the rain start pouring down, the nite falls .. the news non stop giving the latest update of all. Tampa Bay got hit by 130mph hurricane.. *gulps* by around 10pm .. the news reported .. "Watching Tornado at Orange County" *stunned* The distance from Orange County to the place we stay is just like the distance from DJ to SS2 like dat !! Somehow .. by 12 midnite .. the eyes of Hurricane Jeanne arrive right on spot on the Orlando, with the windspeed recorded 115mph, is much more faster than wat they expected ..which is below than 100mph, the window shaking and same to the door. I still wide awake, stuffing my mouth with lots of chips and with soda .. watching at the TV .. looking out from the window .. amazed at the power of the nature. Record some scene from inside .. The next morning .. is really a 24hours thing .. looking at the fan spinning at the speed of "4" even is off .. looking at the chair and tables moving around due to the wind. Sneak outside the room (hehehehe) and stand at the corridor without my parents notice .. at 10am .. try to pray outside .. (some sort of corporate prayer time for camp dat time) But I cant even stand for 1 min .. non stop falling down and end up haf to crawl myself back to room .. hahaha. Thank God .. the Hurricane left Orlando without bringing much damage. And again .. is the 1st time in the history that the Disneyland in Orlando, Florida is closed for a day !!

5th day ..
Universal Studio !! haha the day is kewl .. went to Universal Studio and enjoy another day with lots and lots of motion rides .. gain lots of knowledge looking at those stuff they had make. And really haf to admit they are good in those. Performing and those rides. Even experience the Earthquake .which is quite famous old show .. which is really fun is still the Back to The Future motion ride .. ride in the time machine and Whooa!! is really that scary enuff to freak ppl out. One of the scariest motion ride in it. Shrek's motion ride is not that bad .. not much big movement .. but there is this part when the donkey sneeze ..and there is water splash on ur face .. is going to make u feel is like mucus .. diff with wat they haf at Disneyland, where this part the Beauty and Beast .. u can even smell the food .. haha. Love it .. got a pic with the real Daytona car.

Not much of the following day .. been to Florida mall which the same structure is The Curve we got here .. just except the Florida Mall is single storey .. and the few day onwards .. just been to Boulders and others .. not much interesting place .. then finally .. on the 8th day .. we took off from Florida.. and again travel accross Chicago, Narita, Sg.. spend a nite and back to Malaysia ..

Is pretty fun and good experience esp when the Hurricane Jeanne strike that part. Back to Malaysia .. is really can tell ppl tat "I've survive from Hurricane Jeanne!" Love the culture there.. ppl are really open minded and spotting .. they willing to help even when I spilled out my drink at the Chinese cuisine .. and yet the peeps at the next table just pass me some tissue for me to wipe everything. I guess .. the next time I go to US .. I will choose some big city .. Florida? hmm .. maybe next time when I want some relaxing life. I still having a 9 years visa neway =D.
