End of week

This morning, arranged to swim with Gek Teng at 830am. So, at that time,went over to her place to go tog to the pool. Her place is near the pool..so that is why I went to her house. We swam and talked till 10am. Quite fun. The weather was getting hot and sunny. So we got up and went back to our apartments.

Usually on fridays, we would go out and eat but CT requested staying home to eat since we do not want to overeat. Gek Teng commented that we are serious in losing weight. I guess we just prefer to eat Chinese food and it is more healthy to eat in and much cheaper. Moreover, CT has gotten 2 Walmart gift cards from his company and each costs about US$75 card. So, we made use of the card to shop for groceries. So, it is actually free to eat in!

However, we will eat out once or twice during weekends since we will be out.

Will be going to the beach tomorrow so I cannot wait!

The whole day, I was planning for our trips as there will be a number of holidays coming up. I was actually writing down which attraction to visit when I go Orlando, Florida in Sept 2-6th.

I have been Orlando twice already. The first time was when I was very young...with my family. My dad took our family to America and visited many states-including San Francisco, Hawaii, Florida,LA etc.The second time I visited Orlando was with the CSC Swim Team.IT was my first time travelling so far away from my family as I was only with my swimmates. We were sent to Fort Lauderdale for swimming training and I remembered running in the beach to the swimming hall of fame, where we were trained at by Olympic Coaches. Every morning, at 5 plus am, we had to run on the sand to the pool. It was about 2km long..Very tiring as running on sand is tedious. But I would say, though suffering from lots of aches, it was fun...as we stayed in Orlando Resort inside Disneyland after one week of tough training to enjoy ourselves and celebrate Christmas.

It was so fun staying inside Disney and I remembered buying gifts for one another and exchange presents during Christmas. So, what I did today was to write down what rides I would go when I visit Epcot, MGM, Magic Kingdom and Universal so that when we go there in Sept, me and CT would save time and just concentrate on the thrilling rides which I enjoyed the last time.

Another trip I planned was our Christmas trip to New York. Me and CT have planned to go to the ultimate dream place where people would love to celebrate Christmas in..that is New York..to enjoy the snow and the beautiful lights.
So, have been trying to compare prices for airlines and hotels to get a good price. However, it has been tough as the price increased so much for Christmas in New York. Air tickets costs about US$150 more to travel...

I enjoy planning for trips as it excites me whenever I read about the attractions and the reviews. Cannot wait to go there!!
