Back fr Trip - Glen & Grand Canyon

Yes, the long holiday is over and we enjoyed ourselves. It was a relaxing tour. I enjoyed Lake Powell and Grand Canyon. They are so magnificent! Really can feel the awe of God and how small we are. And how come we can be of so little faith?

Hee was sharing w dear dear, we may close the chapter on brown canyons as in this trip, we saw canyon fr the lake, fr top view and inside the canyon. Kind of complete alreadi hee ;p..let's see how

Oh ya really thk God for the beautiful weather during the trip. Just nice, not too hot nor cold.

Below are some of the pics. Enjoy!

Oh ya, me and my new specs! We went back to s'pore and made myself another specs just in case i broke my only one! Nice? Hmm still getting used to it but dear dear said its nice ;) And the moose, dear dear bought for me in boise. Now i sleep w him every night, reminds me of toby boy ;)

This is lake powell

We at lake powell ;)

On the way to the cruise. Hee trying to avoid as much sun as possible ;p
On the cruise. I really enjoyed the cruise hee...hmm maybe a bit more than Grand canyon..guess i like the sound of water ;)

Doesn't this reminds u of 'tiramisu' ;p

We at the glen canyon dam...See dear dear performing stunt again

Antelope tour, walking inside the canyon...hmm a bit rush though..a lot of tourists ard. Guess holiday la...but really nice, esp fr photos..the guide teaches us how to take pics using the camera function..

Me trying to put my leg on the wheel of the truck...so big

Inside & Outside the canyon

Grand canyon here we come

Dear dear performing his stunts. Many a times i was so scare that he might fall off fr the rim..he and his silly stunts..but memorable la...

Oh ya, every yr, 250 pple or so got rescued fr the canyons, becos of heat exhaustion etc..dunno what is the death toll? Pls be careful ok..Is just a pic, no need to risk the life ;p

Lastly the horseshoe band..its so so nice..

Dear dear is holding to my hand while he took the pic. I am at rim!

Dear dear at the edge again..

The end

A bad head day ;(

Ya today has a very bad headache ;( Dunno what triggers that but the weather hasn't been gd for the last 2 days. Cloudy days, no sun, can be cold and hot at the same time. Again temp can be cold at home becos of the aircon. Don't on cannot, on cold hee ;p Haha ok la, i shld open windows and put more moisturer. If really cannot tanah will take 1 panadol.

Oh ya last few days had been busy planning for the long weekend trip. Its finalised that we'll be going Page & Grand Canyon south rim together with chuange & family. Look forward to that but praying for good weather as these few days storms is coming the way ard this region. Pray for sunshine when we are on cruise, on land tour and visiting Grand canyon. Ok to be cloudy when driving hee ;p (hmm too much to ask fr God ;p)

Yet i was reminded in psalms that He knows the concerns of my heart. "Lord i lift up my terrible headache and trip to your hands. Pray i will be in gd health for the trip. Amen"

So glad that dear dear is back!

Indeed, i m glad is back home hee. Went to airport to fetch him together with heng. He was really excited to see me and so was I. We kept waving at each other, haha look so silly ;p

Over the weekend, its more of a relaxing pace for us given that dear dear came fr a hectic business trip. Just as dear dear mentioned in his blog, we went mini trekking on the mountains. Its really fun and thrilling as get to go thru the trees to the waterfall. Hee but we will there with the wrong shoes so cannot go that far. Overall, i really enjoyed the experience, guess at the end of the day, both of us like nature more. Along the way, we wld also imagine if toby is here ;) Hmm dunno will he fall fr walking the trails as its surely smthg new to him. But again he has 4 legs ;p better balancing i guess.

In the night, we drove 2 hrs to wendover, a mini las vegas, just at the border of Nevada. Its my 1st time there and its really like mini LV as the buildings are full of lights. Hmm but no luck at jackpot though ;p

Talking abt this, this wkend is a long weekend! Memorial day on mon! So we are planning to go to grand canyons but again need to check the availability of hotel as now only left with 1 week. Hurry, hurry.

Yeah

Yeah indeed, tomorrow dear dear will be back! Time passed so fast (hmm not that fast la ;p).

Haha my life now is abt hsehold chores and eat, sleep and be merry. Oh no so so sinful. No la, i still discipline myself to be active as God does not like lazy pple. Just finished cleaning up the kitchen.

Oh ya, last night went to the so called Best Italian restaurant in Utah. Indeed i felt it was as the pasta is really authentic. But again their desserts' list can't meet the mark. Will ask dear dear to go there one of these days so that he can try out too.

Over dinner, they talked abt the female colleagues in their former company. Interesting to know that ladies will always be a topic amg the guys. Yet again fr the conversation, one can't help to feel that sometimes we ladies shld show modesty and not be wanting to attract attention which can cause a lot of troubles. On the other hand, just wish that man can just be contented with what they hv and not let their eyes sin. Hmm if only we (regardless of gender) know what we ought to do and ought not.

I am really thkful that i have God in my life to help me walk on the right path.

2 more days to go

Yes 2 more days and i'll see dear dear again. This late afternoon he will be flying to san jose. This morning woke up with a really bad dream that made me almost teared :( So sad..but again its juz a dream.

Anyway today is a brand new day! And I receive a mail fr my sister. She too will be coming over to San Fran! In july, for a sales conference! One mth aft ZL. So happy to hear that. We are discussing the possibility of meeting in Utah or San Fran. Let's see how. Its really glad to hv closed friends and family members ard. Pray that i can meet ZL and sis in one way or another.

Oh ya, Heng and gang brought me to sizzler for dinner. My 1st time to sizzler. Was really surprised by the variety at the salad bar. Indeed, just eating fr the salad bar will be gd enough for one (hee i mean asian ladies la). But again, somehow i like dear dear, i still prefer chinese food at the end of the day.

I lost track of time

Ya hee over here i seems to lose track of time. Just now went to look at the organiser and found that today is 13 May hee. I long forgotten the day of the month hee.

Hmm 3 more days and dear dear will be back ;) Yesterday, skype with him but he was really tired so was a short one. Yet interesting to be able to see his face still haha.

I called Pam yesterday night to chit chat with her and ask her some things. It was always a blessing to hv a leader ard hee to seek guidance.

Oh ya last night, cm brought chuange and myself to a teppanyaki (spelling?) restaurant for dinner. Hmm it was an interesting experience as the chef performed some stunts with his knife and cooking skills. Food wise ok la. BUT my whole body was stinko after that. I just took my shower be4 i left home. Really cannot tanah the smell, i bathed again ;( Now washing the clothes i wore last night.

Tonight, another grp of yh's colleagues will be bringing me out for dinner. Really thkful of them to remember me while yh is away. Oh ya maybe shld be bring my camera ph along but again, carrying 2 phones are troublesome leh..let's see how ;p

Hee i finished watching the hk serial i brought fr s'pore. Was really nice. Am supposed to watch a disk a day but the show was nice, i had 2 instead ;p Nevermind la, spend more time reading now.

Oh ya, ZL will be coming to states, san fran in mid jun. Really hope that we hv a chance to meet. Is really nice to see a close friend on the other side of the globe given that so far are more of yh's colleagues and their spouses that i mix with.

Me and my new laptop ;p

Finally after more than a mth, we hv gotten our new Asus laptop! Now is the 1st time using it hee ;p The past few days dear dear has been busy installing programs on it be4 he left for Boise.

Let me see..aft such a long time, what shld i start with leh???

Let's date back to the trip back home, just like dear dear did ;p Indeed i miss my toby boy very much so was really thrilled to see him and hugged him then. Hee and dear dear called him our 'prince' haha indeed he was. Our objectives of flying back besides seeing our parents, include seeing our toby boy! The most amazing thing is that dear dear agreed to let toby sleep with us for the 2 weeks we were at home ;) And toby boy luvs it.

Personally, i was glad to see him put on weight. The time i left he actually lost some weight, now he is back to normal. For the 2 weeks back in s'pore, we spent as much time we cld with our families and toby boy hee and not forgetting to eat and eat. Yet i realise that i actually don't miss s'pore food as much as i thought i had! Guess at the end of the days, its the familiarity and the loved ones that drew u back home.

Now that i am back at Sandy, i miss boy boy still. Yet we know that its a decision we agreed on. In fact, i was really touched and thkful for my family who luvs and take cares of toby while we were away.

Life as per normal here. Household chores as usual and watching tv hee. I bought a HK serial here to watch. Hee is really nice. And dear dear be4 he left for Boise, connect the laptop to various chinese channels for me to watch and the flatmate also copy some more HK serials for me to watch. I am thkful for that. Hee but actually i am not very used to using laptop to watch tv. Hmm needs some adjustmt i guess.

Oh ya spring is here and the flowers bloom so beautifully. I never in my life saw trees full of flowers. They are really beautiful...hee but i don't really like the intense fragrant of the flowers. Dear dear luv it but knowing me i cannot tanah too strong fragrance hee. But somehow by now, immune to the smell alreadi ;p

Whatelse le? Oh ya over the weekends we went fishing again. A new location. It was a restricted area but we went still. The amazing thing was we saw deers roaming freely. I didn't realise that their ears are so big...really really cute...now i can really understd why some said toby looks like deer! He really does. The face is smaller than the ears hee! Ash and dear dear almost caught a really big fish, more than double of what we normally catch but the fish was too heavy and line broke. Nevermind, got next time.

Oh ya for the next 4 days will be home alone w/o dear dear...really miss him. Guess too used of hvg him besides me i guess hee

ok will update more next time since now i hv a new laptop hee ;p
