ok! shall make a short entry. so after Phoenix, we went to grand canyon! yeah, it's the grand canyon, but somehow i didn't find it THAT spectacular. maybe cos i'm too used to seeing such majestic sceneries. Nevertheless, it was still pretty and got to see the pretty sunset and sunrise there. preferred the sunset view more though and took a couple of nice emo shots. oh and there were a few singaporeans working at the hotel there and we bought ice creams from them. they were from NTU, just like what ah yin did that time.


grand canyon!

and then, we made our way to monument valley and took a jeep-like vehicle to enter the valley. it didn't appeal much to me though.

and today we went to antelope canyon early in the morning to see the very artistic canyons. those wavy and artistic patterns were due to the annual erosion by flash floods and they were really nice. my 1st time looking at such stuff, so i'm quite impressed!

and then we had a nice lunch at movie set museum where we were also involved in filming a 5 minute 'movie'. was a cheap thrill but was fun! and i was a soldier. took some beautiful photos with our tour mates.

and then we made our way to bryce canyon which i thot was much more spectacular than grand canyon. we went all the way down to the valley and it was horrible climbing up cos it was not only high, but steep at certain parts. think my thighs will ache terribly tmr! haha. but it was really majestic i felt.


yes, bryce canyon!

but lately felt a little down, think i'm missing my sg frens especially at this time of the year. am quite sorry to my travel mates actually but then i really cant help it. and thinking back, i realised that i haven had a trip as good as the japan 1 (the 1 with my bmt mates) when all of us really had fun TOGETHER. and time never passed slowly then unlike now or the other previous trips, when i would sometimes feel that time is crawling and would want to be back home/london. and during this trip, i actually looked forward most to meeting liyu cos though i haven met her for so long (1.5 years), i still have much to talk to her. u know, old frens are always the best. i'm really yearning to travel with close, old frens but then i know i should not complain cos these frens who always travel with me are great ppl as well. oh well, should enjoy the remaining 1 week here. =)
