bored…

at last today i get to access to the internet connection via my hubby’s military school connection by staying in the library.

ever since my hubby and i moved out of the military quarters, we had difficulty getting our internet connection up. not because that we did not have the means to have it but because of the workflow and S.O.P of the internet connection ruling thingy… that delayed the availability.

my days here in monterey has mounted up todate as at today a total of 16 days. and these days i had to travel everyday and everywhere by car. nothing is "walkable" and the distance is calculated in miles and not kilometer. the nearest shopping area is >20miles = 32kilometer, and its healthcare system… its so different from singapore… its not accessible to the people unless they have cars and insurance of coz… its so scary to travel anywhere by my self… unless with my hubby’s company… the public relations "PR" service here in Monterey is top i have to say. they can serve you up to 2 hours face to face or even on the phone + answering all your enquires + tolerating your english language + working 1 hour pass office hours = stilling smiling and with very good attutide, that’s something that i dont see in Singapore.

as my days passed and missing the things back home, my home, my family, friends, my zacky boi… my reflections here in monterey hopefully had made me a better person and a more appreciative person towards my country SINGAPORE. as distance are calculated in kilometers, shopping area is within 5kilometers. everything is "walkable" to market, postal-office, library, hospital etc… everything … its so convience back in singapore (maybe small country), everything its within reach and accessible to the people. and we dont have internet connection problems, everything is within reach with a dial on the phone and you will have your connection within days not weeks!

however, i have to aggree… place in here in USA is huge. serivces here gave the best service… however that cost time. things here are not neccessary cheap but if good deals comes along… then its dirt cheap! hahaha… then i will shop till i drop…

2. 17 mile drive (pebble beach)

3. carmel village

4. gilroy premium outlet

5. san francisco (golden gate bridge)
