Hey peeps,

I finally reached Mackinaw Island.

OMG, this place is superb!

the whole island is like a Desperate Housewives setting, everything is so low-rise and

in pretty colors and so antique-ky.

BUT it's freezing cold here ):

it was like 2 or 4 deg when we reached and cos we gotta take a ferry to the island,

we were all running towards a makeshift house by the sea

to wait for the ferry.

it was damn hilarious. HAHA.

okay, so we had a great time at San Fran, despite the much dreaded 11-hr flight

which turned out to be pretty okay cos

we're sleeping away most of the time.

As hc had planned, we went cycling in San Fran.

YES, CYCLING.

hc said, " you havent been to San Fran if you've not cycled to the Golden Bridge"

and so we did.

It was darn tiring and we had to get over a few slopes

where i just gave up and pushed my bike.

The journey to the bridge was so pleasing to the eye,

fresh beautiful flowers by the roadside, cooling air brushing through your face as u cycle,

and oh-so-sweet candy houses along the seaside.

But, the big red bridge is just fine..

no difference seeing it in the 98deg mtv or in person.

HEE.

and i realise, the 7-11 here is quite cheap

unlike back home where they charge 40% more.

and we lived in chinatown, but we passed by a couple of black streets on the way

and it's damn scary at night ):

so, the flights to detroit and pellston were rather terrible cos it was quite jerky

but as usual, i concussed and couldnt

care less abt the turbulences. MUHAHA

but i was shocked wide awake when i reached Pellston.

the airport is so small it is porbably like our BK and coffee bean area at Terminal 2?

OMG!

and when we took wolverine stage bus to the ferry dock,

we passed by like less than 10 houses despite travelling for more than 20mins?

it's super rural, like those movies

where there's only one motel sitting out of no where.

and a couple/a grp of friends lost their way and gotta stay the night

in the motel and there they met with some crazy murderer.

yes, it's exactly like that.

and i've no doubts that those movies are prolly shoot there.

HAHA.

It was freezing cold, to the point my internal organs are shivering.

HAHA.

and i swear, my face was really frozen.

things were alittle upset when we reached becos we had to do all those paperworks

and go for briefings instead of what we thought,

like they'll show us our room, let us settle down, take a nap and then we talk.

instead, it was the other way round and we finally managed to move into a small room.

there, things take a turn (:

the carelady, alma, was so kind to us.

she gave us hot water flasks, hangers and to me, even gloves.

and she even brought us to the church to get 2nd-hand coats that

peopl had donated to the church.

they are no rubbish, they're nice wll-maintained coats like GAP, Aerospate.

so happy!

and she even treated us to dinner at Village Inn, a nice quiet vintage place (:

things are very expensive in this town so it was really nice of her to do that.

we were so touched!

and today, queena and samantha reached and we moved in to another room

that accomodates 4 ppl.

it's bigger and we have a bathroom to ourselves!

and to our surprise, alma passed us a tv set! (:(:

it means a world to us cos there's no internet connection at our place

cos our dorm is further away from the hotel.

so we cant tap on the wireless connection unlike the boys living at the quarters

behind the hotel.

and there's no reception for m1 and singtel here,

but we'll be getting int'l call cards soon (:

so happy things are better, tml we'll start work

hope everyth goes fine too.

Jace, i know u're in the States now too but so sad i cant meet u!
