My very last day in Grand Canyon..with us in the photo is Gregg and he has a super funny joke about his name. “My parents stutter.” He knows how to say ‘peace’ in like 50 languages or something. Ashton Kutcher/Justin Timberlake lookalike Greg. Brad, the bartender-turned-manager. It’s sooo hard to talk to him. I have to like [...]

I paid USD 500 for this helicopter trip to the Havasupai Indian Reservation, but it was totally worth it. It’s almost like paradise on earth. The helicopter is SUPER LOUD! I love this photo because he looks absolutely adorable. We were the only two going to Supai that day by helicopter. Out of the millions of people who [...]

Walk-a-dog in the Grand Canyon South Rim’s kennel~ This little guy was so excited to see us that he urinated on me (-_-)… I really don’t like cats…they are scary animals. Kittens are okay though. Victor with the most hyper/crazy dog I’ve seen in my life. I forgot its name though. The sweet and gentle Maggie. Her fur keeps [...]

Re-visiting the South Kaibab Trail and my last time hiking in the Grand Canyon. Freaking cold at 6.30am in the morning, with ominous-looking dark clouds overhead. A wrangler walked past us and told us it would be a gamble to hike down because if it rains, we’ll probably be in deep shit. But the skies started clearing [...]

Singaporeans’ gathering at El Tovar for dinner…and this is why I don’t like it when people take photo in low-light conditions with only one hand. The ‘Canyon Room’ view. I personally think Arizona Room’s view is better but I’m being biased. Chef’s Soup or something. Crabcakes with real crab meat in it unlike those we find in Singapore. The [...]

Rainy 4th of July~~~ no fireworks in the Canyon or the nearby towns because of fire safety measures This is so nice! I’ve never seen local papers do this before. At a Native American fair in Tusayan. On the right is the state flag of Arizona. Doing the Native dance. Look at the rain in the background. Because [...]

Star-gazing at the Grand Canyon. All the enthusiasts brought out their super expensive-looking telescopes. I actually saw Saturn and its moons!! They also had all these crazy laser beams that shoots into the sky and I actually saw the Big Dipper, Virgo, and more by following the laser beams. On our way to Sedona!! Fantastic breakfast at [...]

The Singapore flag lasted only a few days. It got taken down by the housing department. >_

Very image heavy. Meeting during work. Top/Moon Rider/Razor/John from Michigan/Kittisuk (hahaha), possibly the most charismatic guy around in my workplace. Kitchen area. Bus area with Jeff. The super nice Thai girls. Alex, who makes fun of me incessantly. He once made me hold a plate of SUPER hot dish and I nearly cried out of pain. He’s a really great server [...]

For anyone who has ever commented that I’m too ‘princess-y’, too ‘pampered’ to be in the service line, or has given me any other annoying derogatory labels, take this: Judge me all you want….*shrugs* It only makes me happier when I prove you people wrong.

Grand Canyon’s Desert View. Historic Tower by the great Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter. Colorado River. Raven. The most dangerous animal in Grand Canyon. It sends the most number of people to the hospital by acting cute. You can easily get your nose/finger bitten off..don’t be fooled by its cuteness. Elks outside my hall. Wildlife is grand. The elks are really [...]

I love my work here in the USA! I got promoted to possibly the highest-paying job around and well..it’s not easy. My hands have never suffered so many injuries/bruises and I have never stood so long for a single day before. But it’s a totally new experience..it’s challenging, and I get to meet a lot [...]

The 7000-foot elevation is making me really dry and my nose is bleeding like crazy. And I’ve been losing weight despite all the fatty food I’ve been eating..must be the cold weather increasing my body’s heat generation. I also get exhausted and headache-y very quickly..can’t wait for my acclimatising to be complete so that I [...]

I desperately need more time. The high altitude here is making me really tired and it’s VERY VERY COLD. BUT I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE!
