A day of engraved handprints… Possibly one of the best photos of the trip. Well there were a lot of other gay moments but this is the only one with all the five gays. USA’s version of the McDonald’s Big Breakfast. No kidding about the ‘Big’ part. Sunset Boulevard. Hollywood & Highland Center. Pay USD2 for a photo op! I [...]

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 [...]

All I know is something important in my body is broken/chipped off. ~_~..Will need to do a CT/MRI scan when I get back to Singapore…But! I have no regrets about jumping off that cliff. Horrendous graphical representation of my spine: Doctor’s X-ray report: [...]

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 [...]

3rd day of Vegas…breakfast buffet at Planet Hollywood’s Spice Market Buffet. Way better than Luxor’s. Shopping at Ross. “Everything’s sexier at Paris.” Inside Paris. This New York York roller coaster was so crazzy. It had ups, downs, corkscrews, 360 turns, vertical-hortizontal line turns, and everything you can imagine. My freaking god. I screamed my ass off. In NYNY. So cute [...]
