US Trip - USM Calibration 14-22 July

Emm.. it takes so long for me to update my blog.. so busy with works.. zaid's wedding.. friends wedding..

Saja je tak bagitau orang about my trip to US, bukan tak mo orang pesan, tapi tak konfem dapat pi ke tak.. especially if i'm going to resign after i come back from US..

But i'm still going.. flying with business class.. pergghhh... best giler.. makan hidang kat dalam plane.. movie sangat banyak.. kerusi besar.. dok tingkat atas lagi. suma best lah.. dalam plane.. selain sembang (sangat kuat tuh sembang.. tak peduli dah org lain dlm plane tuh).. amik gambo awan.. makan.. n tengok tv jek.. org tido.. kita sibuk gak tengok tv.. 2 jam je tido dalam plane. Transit kejap kat Taipei.. sembahyang. Kagum giler tengok ada surau, siap ada gambo Masjid Kuala Kangsar lagi..

Sampai LA.. baru petang..sedangkan malaysia masa tu dah awal pagi. Terus pi check in.. then kuar pi Fashion Mall.. best ah jalan ngan En Amier, sebab dia pun ada list yang sangat panjang utk shopping.. sporting giler bab jalan2 nih.. malam tu plak.. dah tengah malam, tp dok terkebil2 kat hotel tak leh tido sb jeklek (mesti salah eje nih..)

2nd day : Universal Studio & Walk Of FameAwal2 pagi lagi dah siap.. sb at that time is summer holiday, so Universal Studio might be full of people. But we are very lucky.. tak ramai org.. we manage to ride all the rides there without long queue. Start with Studio Tour, dia bawak jalan keliling, showing all the studio where they record all movies and drama. Tengok camne diorg wat filem Jaws, camne berlakon kat tengah laut, Rome set, Desperate Housewife set.. and siap ada bangkai real aeroplane lagi... Baru sedar yang sebahagian besar scene kat tv tu suma wat kat set je. Then masuk Simpson Ride.. hihihi.. best giler, even dok dalam satu kereta yg gerak2 je, tp rasa mcm naik roller coaster..
Then naik Mummy Returns ride.. ingatkan macam Simpson Ride.. skali roller coaster betul. Dahla ride dalam gua.. hihihi.. apa lagi.. menjerit je lah.. then masuk Special Effect Stage, Backdraft, tonton 4D Shrek, Terminator 3D.. seronok giler!!! macam tak caya je dah sampai Universal Studio.. lunch kitorg.. pretzel besar giler.. yg mmg tak abis pun.. hahaha..
Around 4pm, kitorg kuar.. jalan2 area luar Universal Studio.. then we went downtown LA, kat Walk Of Fame.. Sempat snap few pictures.. then bateri kamera abis.. masa tu pun nak maghrib dah so kitorg rush balik hotel sb tak smayang lagi. Then malam tu, again.. pi lagi Fashion Mall shopping bag Coach utk Blinda skit. Lalu depan kedai Apple, ramai giler org beratur kat luar nak beli IPhone.. bila setiap org yang berjaya beli tu kuar kedai.. org yg tengah beratur tunggu turn utk beli akan bersorak yey...!! hahaha.. berjaya beli lah kononnyer..

3rd Day : Journey to Clear Lake, Iowa

Sepanjang hari.. kitorg dalam plane ke Minniapolis (around 3 hours plus) then lepak kat airport for 5 hours! Here we ate our first rice @ USA! Luckily there's one Asian restaurant and the chef is coming from Somalia.. Perrgghhh puas giler dapat makan nasi.. then round satu airport, besar giler airport dia.. vending machine jual sony nyer barang la.. cosmetic pun ada.. ipod pun ada.. reach Clear Lake around 11 pm.. penat giler2 dah n need to be ready at 6.30am next morning.

My First Nasi kat US.. yum..yum..

4th Day : Working day!!

Finally.. sampai gak hari yang membawa kitorg ke US.. Judy (PIC dari CEESI) pick us awal giler, then bawak pusing pekan Clear Lake yg sangat kecik. Memang macam pekan koboi. Then pegi kat CEESI lab, pun sangat kecik. Lepas set up suma.. tak leh start keje sb pressure low, then lost communication ngan compressor station. So Judy bring us out for lunch at PizzaHut. Mak aih.. besar giler pizza dia.. kitorg makan sorg satu keping jek, then yg lain tapau bawak balik. Calibration finished around 4pm, kitorg balik hotel, tido jap then jalan ke Clear Lake. Around 30mins gak jalan kaki tp mcm tak terasa sb cuaca nyaman giler.Plan nak naik bot pusing tasik tp sb masa tu nampak nak hujan sangat, bot tak jalan. Then kitorg jalan kaki balik hotel, tengah jalan ujan lebat giler. Seb baik ada couple mexico tumpangkan kitorg ke hotel. Tp.. yang lebih nasib baiknya.. seb baik couple tu baik! Hahahah.. kalu tak.. takde dah aku menulis blog nih.. Alhamdulillah selamat..

5th day : Jalan2 @ Minniapolis

Amin and Aishah (my cousin) drove down from Kansas City to meet us and bring us around. We went to Minniapolis, pegi Mall Of America, largest mall kat US nih. Kat dalam ada theme park yg sangat besar n best. Roller Coaster dia mmg rock! Kitorg yg tengok dari bawah pun bleh menjerit sesama ngan org yg naik tuh! Hahahaha.. sebab dah sampai, kitorg naik gak satu roller coaster, yg biasa2 jek sb baru sangat lepas makan. Oh.. before that Amin bring us to India Restaurant.. makan buffet yg murah n sedap nearby Minnessota University. Dapatla lepas kempunan makan nasi sekali lagi. Then masuk Apple shop, testing iphone yang baru kuar. Ramai giler org beratur utk beli. Then around 3pm, we went to Albertfield utk shopping!!! Here i bought 3 sets of Corell, lots of Coach bag for Blinda, then Samsonite bag and also 2 pants yg rege dia lagi murah dari pants murah kat m'sia. Sampai penuhla bonet keta Amin. Reach Mason City (city sebelah Clear Lake) around 12am then kitorg singgah Wal-Mart beli coklat. Sekali lagi ditekankan.. best ah shopping kat us nih..

6th Day : Packing n going back to LA

Balik jek dari Wal-Mart, kitorg dah tak tido.. dok packing barang yg beli kat factory outlet tuh sampai ke pagi. Then terus pi airport.. but pagi tu kabus sangat tebal. Ada dah feeling yg flight might be delay.. and skali.. cancel terus. Dahla flight sehari sekali je.. and for details.. bleh tengok cerita kat bawah ni ek.. Sampai kat Minniapolis Airport, makan nasi.. smayang.. n beli barang skit2.. tak sabar dah nak balik LA. Ye la, sb flight cancel, kitorg sampai LA dah malam, kalu tak, tgh hari dah sampai n awal2 lagi bleh pegi shopping.. Hehehe.. tapi tak pe, at least dapat spend another one day with Amin n Aishah.. thank you guys for you help..

7th day : Shopping @ Camarello Factory Outlet

Semangat giler bangun pagi.. terus siap2 nak shopping. Bukak je.. terus serbu kedai Coach.. both of us got long shopping list n paling lama kitorg kat Levis store. I bought 3 new Levis bag!! Suma org sibuk2 nak beli bag Coach tp for me, Levi's bag lagi best.. Abis shopping.. time utk packing plak. Ni pun sejam lebih gak dok susun2 barang suma. Tak mo kasi pecah, gerak2.. n maximumkan bag2 yg besar. Memang penat giler kitorg mengangkut bag dari bilik n also kat airport. Hampeh, dua2 rasa mcm tak berbaloi je amik troli sb kena bayar so kitorg mmg berangkut suma beg. Kesian customer.. dia pun kena tolong bawakkan beg jugak.

8th day : Back to Malaysia

Sebelum masuk plane.. kitorg plan nak tengok movie, tak mo tido.. rugi kalu tido. Tak sempat serve food lagi, dah terlelap.. mana taknya.. 7 hari yg sangat panjang n penat.. non stop travel, shopping and working.. but we manage utk dapatkan suma barang yg org pesan.. sempat gak jalan2 merasa negara org.. sempat merasa pengalaman flight cancel di small town yg nak cari teksi pun susah..

It's a very great journey.. Thanks to Amin & Aishah yang turun jauh2 utk meet kitorg, bawak kitorg jalan2 and also entertain kitorg. Then siap kena pi balik Minniapolis utk anto kitorg ke airport sb flight cancel. Thanks jugak kat Cik yg even tak jumpa kitorg.. keep update my journey and activity sepanjang kat US. Hari2 tepon tanya kabar =) and for all the info about halal food etc. For my customer.. hehehe.. mekasih la tolong angkat barang.. tolong amikkan gambo saya.. nanti beli lagi satu USM ek.. then kita wat rombongan pi US.. kasi ramai2 skit, baru lagi kecoh..
