good job ppl lets keep up with the blogging momentum!

anw in case anyone didnt know i was in san jose the past week. yes san jose home to google inc.
but anw there is no reason for anyone to know cos i didnt tell anyone. anyone in spore at least.

ok so the first day i visited santana row which is this shopping promenade v beautiful
next day: stanford. marvelous campus. they have this thing called narnia but aynie and i drove and drove and cldnt find it. maybe it only magically appears randomly
anyway the campus is so big we took an hour to find parking.
first we parked at the nearest lot and asked for directions to parking services. we followed the directions and parked but cldnt find the building. so we walked and met this friendly old man who told us it was on the other street. and we crossed to the nearest building on the other street which was NOT parking services but from which we managed to obtain a campus map whereupon i realised the campus was about 4 miles by 4 miles. and then we realised where we originally parked was right in front of parking services well done.
anw stanford ppl are decent looking la i didnt see any freaks of nature
and the bookstore is WOW. loved it. felt like borders in there
on the way to the bookstore we passed a sit-in for worker justice and im v happy cos the banner was in spanish and i managed to decipher it
its pretty tiring to walk all over campus though

so wed was uc berkeley/san fran day! which was damn fun cos i had another friend to bring me ard. berkeley's nice too. but the flags were flying at half-mast cos of the vtech incident. anw we went up to the clock tower and my friend stared at the bells and i asked what he was thinking and he said he was wondering if the bells fell would they hit him? -_- anw we were v lucky that day cos we didnt have to pay for parking at all which is like near to impossible in sf. even when we exceeded our parking times we weren't ticketed. apparently the police go ard every 2 hrs and mark wheels with white chalk so some ppl just return before the 2 hr time limit and move the car a little so the chalk gets rubbed off and then park in the same spot again.

thur we went to the winchester mystery house built by this little old lady who inherited a fortune upon her husbands death and spent the rest of her life building this insanely puzzling house with doors that lead to nowhere or that open to blank walls. and by little i mean it literally cos she was 4' 11" and ppl like me have to stoop through some of the house

meet the robinsons is a cool show!

fri was google day. google is fantabulous i think its the best place to work in the world. they actually have this artificial sand thing where u can play beach volleyball, nintendo, playstation, massage chairs and masseurs, laundry service and 9 cafes. and by cafes i mean full-fledged buffets with the widest selection of drinks and snacks i have ever seen in a work building. apart from the freshly cooked food la of cos. and the supervisors dont keep track of when employees come in/sign out so its pretty much based on trust which is :) the whole atmosphere is just super informal and relaxing

i have loads of pictures but the cam's with aynie now she's gg to disneyland tmr and she koped it to record her michaeljacksonesque fantasies

oh and yes on my trip to pepperdine uni a few weeks back i dropped it on the sand -_-
now i cant zoom. me and technology just dont click la. luckily i have warranty
