10am
It was good that we could wake up later as the church service isn't so early. Had a simple fresh milk and cornflakes breakfast. =) Nice!
11.30am
Reach Sylvia's church, NewSong in LA. in time for the worship service.

They were using the hall of a school for a service. This is a totally different experience from Andrew's church which i went 2 weeks ago. The Message? The Space In Between. The Story of Elijah running away from God. God Sees you. God Knows you, God Cares for you. You are not alone. I enjoyed the service because there was enough time for personal reflection, to meet with God personally and quietly.

After church, we asked Sylvia's churchmate, Nathan to bring us to an exotic lunch.

So he (oh, he's a black) brought us for a Jamaican Lunch. They call it Soul Food. =)

Pardon me that the photos are vertical shots because the above 2 plates were placed vetically before me.. Reason being, the 4 of us gals were trying to share the 2 plates of food.. which sorry to say, we actually couldn't finish it.. the food was nice, really! Just that the portion were huge!

Not just Soul Food, but also Soul Drink. That 2 fingers you see at the back belongs to Sylvia's cousin, Jessica. She's playful alright. =p
A group photo taken at lunch. From left, Nathan, Cami (oh no, how do i spell that), Jessica, Sylvia, Bee, myself and Fang Han. =)
After lunch, we left for the OC fair. OC stands for Orange County. Sylvia had to drive Bee back first, so I went with Cami in her car to the fair first. It was a long drive.. more than an hour if i didn't remember wrongly.
Orange County Fair. There's no doubt that Americans like to have fun in Summer.

Here are Sylvia's small group members. A nice mix of people.

And here are the men from the small group .. sorry guys, I got distracted trying to catch the insect lady as well..

Sylvia "dragged" me to yet another ride. It's like Top Gun in Singapore. You know the Viking? Well, the difference is that after like 3 or 4 swings, you go 360 degrees forward 3 times and then 360 degrees backwards another 3 times. It was fun, nope, Cami and I didn't scream. It waas enough hearing Sylvia and Jessica and the people at the back screaming. Haha.. I wanted to count each time we go 360, but everything just happened so fast, that i lost count! All I can remember is looking forward and seeing very small people standing around on the ground below. I told Sylvia "It's enough sis, yesterday was enough for me. :p"
No, I didn't want to enter into a "real" haunted house too. So we played the game that i mentioned i liked very much in Vegas' Circus Circus. My horse was leading initially but I got excited and lost. =( Then I played this little kiddy maze of glass and mirror doors.
I should have challenged my eyes more by not using my hands to feel if there was anything in front of me. =p
Sylvia's friends won her a big little doggie. It is named "Sylvia" and it gonna become the small group mascot. hehe

Now we no longer have to fight for the bolster at night =p ok ok, my fault, i'm the one fighting for the bolster =p no wait a minute, i think i pull the blanket more.. anyway Sylvia's nice.. she lets me have everything. muahahaha.. =p
Had wanted to try the Turkey Legs. The drumstick looks huge. And the queue was crazy. So i didn't get it.
5pm
Is it getting late? Nope, we are not on the way home. The day is still young! We are on the way to Universal Studios City Walk. =)
Well, when the journey is long and you get bored behind the car... this is what you do.. =p

And to show how small the bear is, here it is hugging the 100ml Yoghurt bottle which Sylvia made me drink yesterday. =p ugh.. i never did like yoghurt.. but hey, this tasted ok! =p (erm, just in case you think i keep rubbish in my bag, this photo was taken yesterday.)
Reaching Universal Walk. The Car Park layout is like Disney's. After having "forgotten" where the car was at Disney and attributing to the camera which captured the location, we did the same here too.
Here we are! =)
Beginning the City Walk at Universal. My first sight of Universal Walk. It's a little crowded as you can imagine people beginning to leave Universal Studios around this hour.
