goodbye california (in 4 days)

oh yes.. every good thing does come to an end.. and so will my trip here but what i take along with me is the culture and attitude of a better way of living an otherwise mundane n boring life! the radio was talking about communism and countries who have been through it.. they said that there are good examples of communist states even till today.. n i was shocked to hear them mention singapore... i mean come on give me a break im gonna have to go back there soon dont have to ruin the mood before i reach right! but then again its true.. the government says this we darn well follow it.. you cant even erect a traffic light in california without the people's consent.. if they say no it becomes a 4 way stop sign where who comes first goes first and people do follow it man they do! thats called democracy! thats called having a god damn say in your country!

anyways! the last highlight of the stay here would definitely be the visit to disneyland (over grown kids are still admitted), california adventure park which was absolutely mind-blowing if to say the least and of course universal studios which appealed to me the most.. everything there is a lie! i swear they even admit it..





even this picture is a lie it's a backdrop man!!

and to sum things up the 4 days in orange county (without parental supervision) was the absolute epitome of my journey! well not so much so cos it was the oc but cos of the freedom! sadly my aunt refused to let drive there lest i get lost! so i relied on buses..


ah well it cant be seen but below the orange county transport association logo theres this sign that says bus stops at all railways... who're you kidding it stops every 3 seconds! there are designated stops for the bus but what the hell it will stop for every idiot who shouts' STOP' in the bus! of course i took advantage of that too.. half expecting it not to stop n have the whole bus laugh at me.. but nah it stopped alright..

this dude here.. is a bus driver.. whose parents fought in the vietnam war and he himself was given a rifle at the age of 7 and told to run as far from the fight zone as he could! and you know what.. he lived to tell the tale... the emotions he had whilst telling me about the war was intense man.. but well a smile covers up everything don't it? just had to take a pic with someone whose directly related to the viet kong..

and finally.. the people im gonna miss the most are my colleagues at 7-11.. yes michael did keep his promise and brought me to the street rap thingy.. it was fun tell u guys more about it when i reach singapore... and jerri and kathi will be missed.. trevor got sacked.. my uncle caught him stealing.. and a few other night shift people i dont know... all a cool bunch of people! surely gonna miss them but like jerri said.. "it don matter if ur uncle's gonna sell the shop u drop by here the next time u come to el cajon aight.." .. aight! till the next time then..

starring jerri a.k.a the dawg on the right me in the middle and kathi a.k.a the griller (manager) on the right.. (or also known as white lady)

pn: jerri seems to be aunt agony for everyone in el cajon.. they got a problem.. they drop by 7-11 and talk to her! haha n this is her best line to every kid or teen in a relationship problem..

"aint no guy or girl too precious to be keeping you go on and find someone new and tell me who it is when you've got ur smile back again" - the dawg
