Day 1

My first blog post from the Silicon Valley, United States of America!

Day 1 was a slack one :) Traveling for a grand total of 1 hour (from 7.15 am to 8.30 am, the 9th of June), arriving in Silicon Valley on the same day that we left Singapore although the actual traveling time was about 12 to 13 hours :)

First day visit was to the Tech Museum. Lots of cool exhibits in that museum, interactive exhibits (you can make your own roller coaster ride then ride it, choose a team and then start sleighing with it). Quite suitable for young children in the primary levels, but still was a 2x Singapore Science Centre experience.

After that visit, we took a trip down to GGB, the Golden Gate Bridge, icon of San Francisco. You know the bridge that everyone has a picture of in their mind when they think of San Francisco. Here, a reminder:

I took this myself :) Have more in my drive, but it takes way too long to upload...

Dinner at 5.30pm, then back to hotel room. Passed by the WWDC 2008 centre, saw that everyone was leaving cause it was ending. Due to the fact that it is still summer here, the sun only started setting at about 9pm US time...

Free wireless internet in the room!!! I will update daily on whatever is happening in the Silicon Valley.

A long day ahead

Indeed, a long day for my parents on the 9th of June.

That's the day when I leave for Silicon Valley, with the condition that I reach Changi Airport by 5 am in the morning. The flight is at 7+ am, so that's just about right.

And that's also the day when my sister comes back from her choir trip to Poland and Vienna. She will be arriving at 1500+hrs, which means my parents have to go back to the airport at that time to fetch her.

Isn't that just fun?

I think NOT
