Our second night in LA was pretty easy... since baby girl didn't eat much and we basically arrived after 7pm at our hotel... we decided to just stay in and relax in the room... hubby dropped by the local 7-11 and also Jack's (fast food place there) to get us some water and dinner... can't say about the burgers... but the fries was nice.. hahahah
Baby girl though decided that 8-12 was pretty much lepak and sleep time.. she woke me up at 2 am ... hmm... to eat... poor baby... luckily she ate quite a portion of the fast food we got (please don't judge... i declared a state of darurat for her since she was sooooo picky with food)... we took turns, hubby and I to play with her throughout till 7 until we got dressed and ready for breakfast...
Bus came early this time and we got to start our LA tour on time... (pics later ye)...
We pretty much went around the famous area.. Marina Bay... where we had yummy mocha while fighting the very cold breeze... (but mocha cos I found it hard to keep my eyes open... and no... it didn't work :P ) then we proceeded to a few more stops... but I was super excited when we went by Rodeo Drive... very close to the spot in Pretty Woman :)
The bad thing about a tour bus is basically you have a very very limited time of going to places... basically you get 20mins... and well that is not long at all when you wanna cover such a big area... we basically spent it just walking around the block...
But the stop at Farmer's Market was nice.. we stopped there for lunch and there you can find all sorts of food... we even spotted a Singaporean stall that offers Malaysian cuisine... but we didn't stop... I was too busy looking for souvenirs :P And we found it there... some fridge magnets... and I found these tine lunch boxes... hahaha and i remembered my wayey... well... actually my BIL said something about finding a tin lunch box so that Farel can carry his toys around and no matter where I look in Malaysia I couldn't find one... hahaha I'm sure it's there... but I found it in LA... and it was so cute... Star Wars pic... and only USD13... so I got 3... Dikdik's had Princesses on hers... and Shiya had Daisy Duck on hers... :)
Next interesting stop was Hollywood... There were sooooo many people there! And no there's no glitz or glamour about it... let's just say all sorts of characters were there... we didn't get to see the prints at the Chinese Theatre since it was closed due to an opening or something like that... but we did get to walk among the 'stars'... :) Bought Fish Fillet at McD, where else.. bagged some more souvenirs.. and we were on the bus again... (well what do you expect when we had like 30 mins only?) I bet if hubby knew that we were so close to his guitar shop at Sunset Blvd he will literally rebel and skip the bus... or rather skipped from the bus... me and baby girl?? :P
It was a pleasant way to spend our day... at least we got a brief view of each interesting place to visit... will keep that in mind in case there is ever a chance for us to go there again...
We arrived at the hotel by 5... so we decided to rest... and go to Westfield... the nearest shopping mall.... :) yeay!
We were basically tired and sleepy... so we didn't get to explore the place to our heart's content... but I did find a fav spot... TARGET!... hahahah it is a wonderful place to spend time... err.. and cash... the clothes there are so cheap... and oh so cute (am talking about toddler clothes ok)... but there wasn't much time to explore since Baby Girl has decided to be clingy and won't let me look at stuff in peace... (hmm wonder if her Papa set her up to this)... we shopped around there and I went to take a look at a few more stores till it was closing time...
Ahhh... this is when it is worth it to bring the bucket seat... when using the taxi... :) it was just a short ride to and fro the hotel... USD25 (though if you convert it seems overmuch on transport yes?)
That night we got a knock on the door... heheheh Jellybean was pretty much out and in her dreamland... Tokpa & Tokma finally arrived from Vancouver... hehehehe...
;)
