stay at Aunt's place - more food than anything else!

dim sum galore!
but I still miss S'pore's dimsum
cookies baked by my cousin's neighbour, Daniel. DAMN DELICIOUS!!China Buffet, a Chinese restaurant, buffet style
desserts! *yum*
'eat-all-you-can' sushi!

its really quite delicious! they have 'special' sushi, one of the best I've eaten.

random chinese food.
buffet really makes you overeat :(

This is St Thomas More Church and St Thomas More Elementary School (which is expensive)
Its the nearest church to my Aunt's place in Chapel Hill


omelets made by Grace and I one morning! :) not too pretty, but owell, its homemade!
some cute shape sugar coated cookie thingy we saw at this attas shop
they have the wedding version too!
look at the rows and rows of MEAT! tell me, how not to grow fat?
Souper Salad! DAMN delicious! (buffet too!)
Cici's Pizza (buffet as well)
this is the wrapper of a chocolate bar. they are all phrased in a suggestive manner, its so cool!
dark chocolate
another dark chocolate.
see what I mean by suggestive? its so creative!something wrong with my camera. But its designed to look like some medicine cover
Shakespeare chocolate! How cool is that?
raspberry flavour
*note* It's not for girls! Wanna know why? Cos it has like 600+ calories! Can you imagine??ROWS AND ROWS OF JELLY BEANS! all flavours!
this is a picture taken on the public bus (which is free for internal rides around Chapel Hill) see that string across the window? You pull it to stop the bus, instead of pressing a bellthis is what I meantthis is an upclose shot of the string you pull to ring the bell
the neighbourhood of my Aunt's house. Daniel and my cousin, Anthony walking Daniel's dog.
look at the flowers and the trees! So pretty! Its a pretty and foresty neighbourhood :)
our morning walks/jogsmy Aunt's house. Can you spot Daniel and Anthony?the sun is rising. it has an enchanted feel :)beautiful isn't it? nature is God's wonderful creation :)
HongKong Buffet (yes, buffet again)
this is Daniel. and what he is holding in his hand is a fortune cookie dipped in ice-cream (the american way, as he calls it)

my fortune in the fortune cookie! how apt :)
Daniel and my Aunt's family
My Aunt's family and I (left to right) Uncle, Aunt, Anthony, Grace, Myself
i ate so much, you wouldn't believe it. typical Singaporean. *sigh*
they had crab, sushi, and basically rows and rows of FOOD!
some egg soup
greedy Anthony who loves ice cream. heh
we had pizza one day, after watching The Simpsons in the nearby theatre
So after trying to keep to my diet during the East Coast trip I basically binged when I reached North Carolina. My Aunt brought me to so many restaurants, all of which are buffet style. So sinful! My week at my Aunt's place was packed with activities. I watched The Simpsons, went to Malls, went swimming, went for morning jog/walks, did laundery (handwashing is hard work man!), cooked meals, went to restaurants, went for mass, watched DVD at my cousin's neighbour (James') place with homemade popcorn (typical American!), went on many walks and tours/trips around the neighbourhood, taking their public transport (which is free of course), visited my Aunt and Uncle at their shops, helped my Aunt at her shop, went grocery shopping at Target, Walmart, Asian Market, Harris Teeter and many more, took lots of free sample food (typical Singaporean again) and lots of other stuff which my memory fails me. I really enjoyed the week getting to know North Carolina Chapel Hill better because it helped me a great deal when I started school at UNC. I also learnt alot during this time about American culture and got to know my cousins much better. :)
