5 March- Hollywood sign

Started the day off with the famous Pink's Hotdogs.


















The queue was pretty long, like one of those bubble tea queues in Singapore, maybe longer.
But totally worth the wait.
Signature Chili Cheese Dog
























Very very sinful Chili Fries


















So it looks spicy, actually, it isnt spicy at all.
The chili, isnt the Singapore definition of chili.
Its tasted more Mexican than spicy, so definitely suitable for weaklings who cant take spice lol.
Just really oily, really unhealthy.
What to do, as a tourist, you must do these kinda touristy stuff.
AFter a sinful lunch, it was time to do something healthy.
Hiking up the mountain to see the famous Hollywood sign.


















The weather was really perfect.
Abundant sunshine, with light winds.
So glad I could put on my shorts once again.
And for the first time in a super long while, I actually perspired.
Never felt so good to have perspiration before.
Not the 'raining' kind of sweat though, just light beads of sweat to indicate that the body is still alive and in working order. shiok.
People riding horses. Seems kinda dangerous to me, cos its like at the edge of the mountain. Just takes one horse to go crazy and that person can just get flung off the mountain.


















Naturally, with horses, come horse poop.
























Lots and lots of horses poop. Big small soft hard wet dry.
























Really stinky. That part of the hike was not so pleasant cos we had to keep avoiding the poops and put up with the smell.
Thankfully, as we went higher, there was no more smell. Sigh of relief..
View of the Hollywood sign from the back


















There were fences around the sign, so we could only get as far as the fence.


















View of LA from the top.


















Fellow saints!


















Random dead lizard we saw on the way up. Pretty gross.


















The same lizard, on the way down. Some nice folk put flowers there lol.


















Dinner was at another famous place, Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles.
Again, long queue, waited 45mins. Alot of customers were blacks. Guess they really love fried chicken.


















From the words of others: Popeye's chicken is better.

Anyway, the day ended with a late night drinking session with the SMU people.
Eye-opener really. For once, I wasn't the most wasted.
Puking always 100% helps.
Well, what happens there stays there.
Lets just say, I've never seen some people act that way before.
Its actually quite funny.
And I reached home, to realize my roomie brought her boyfriend back to spend the night.
Luckily I was so wasted that I spent the night next to the toilet bowl and on the couch. Cant risk dirtying my bed, you see. Didnt have to listen to them giggle and make out but anw Im pretty sure they didnt have sex.
Her boyfriend's way cuter in real life than on photos ;)
Im all for her bringing him back more often and theyre too cute tgt haha!
K now Im all sober! And hungry! Gotta find foooooooooooood...
