Currently, I am sitting in a lecture that is incredibly boring mainly because I don't understand a thing the lecturer is saying.
Other than that, in my opinion, one of the two speakers that are currently talking don't speak very good English and it is hard to understand his accent.
Tonight, we have a buffet dinner waiting for us. I am looking forward to that, and can't wait for this lecture to be over - because this is the last lecture before the early dinner.
In the previous lecture, I managed to finish a really good book. I can hear some drumming coming from outside, and I know that it's from the drums for the lion dance later (we're celebrating the organization that made this conference's 30th anniversary) because I went out to eat some food and saw.
Around me are mostly healthcare professionals, and they look interested, but I am sitting here just wondering what the heck is going on.
I'm going to go play the Google dinosaur game now because I'm bored.
Okay! I'm back! I didn't do very well this time, but still managed to get a high score of 655.
When is this lecture going to be over? I am now wondering. I am really bored. I've already read a few pages of another books.
Okay. I think that I'm going to end this post here and go outside and relieve myself from this boredom and eat a cookie.

Slice of Life #181 - Conference - Friday, March 29th, 2019
I am really disappointed right now. I already wrote a post that I couldn't save because I didn't have any internet connection. Unfortunately, because the post didn't save, I now have to rewrite the whole post.
Anyway, today, I went to a conference with my parents. Some of the topics were pretty interesting, while some topics were pretty boring because the speakers didn't really have much experience.
When the topics were boring what I ended up doing was dozing off in my chair. Sometimes, the topics were so boring I would look over to the people around me and they would either be listening (not likely), looking at their phones, or in a deep sleep.
In one lecture, *no offense*, the speaker spoke terrible English and pretty much no one understood what she was trying to say.
Her subject was something about healthy eating and how that had to do with climate change, but she then started talking about the CO2 in plants (I suppose that has a little to do with climate change).
Now, I'm going to be going to sleep because I am pretty sleepy.
Bye! See you tomorrow!

Slice Of Life #180 - Universal Studios! - Thursday, March 28th, 2019
The past few hours have truly been amazing. In the past few hours, I've taken a photo with a T-Rex, been on set, watched groups of people go to war on a floating island and water, watched animals chase animal trainers, watched a man burn, and been inside an Egyptian tomb.
In the past few hours, I've been in Universal Studios in LA, and I've had a great time. Although the T-Rex that I took a picture with was just a fake, it looked and acted surprisingly real. It roared, fiercely, and if you looked at him, it looked like he wanted to eat you. Boy, was I scared when I took the picture with her.
And although I wasn't on set, I got to go behind the scenes in Hollywood and look at the places that various movies were filmed. We also managed to watch some recording in progress.
Other than that, there were really cool short 4D movies that we got to see. There were things in the trailer that shot out water at us when required. The missiles looked really real, and I even ducked when I saw one coming towards me.
I also went on a really scary roller coaster called the mummy. My mom was screaming like mad. The roller coaster dropped and turned extremely quickly, and there were sudden drops. The roller coaster then went backwards really quickly, and by the time I came out of the roller coaster, I was panting.
There was also a really cool show called Waterworld, and there were actors from real movies performing. The actors were highly trained, and occasionally would splash water to the people sitting in the splash zone, which was literally a zone that people sat in if they wanted to get wet.
In the special effects show, we watched some special effects that the cast used to make movies. There was one part where we watched a man on fire, and he stayed on fire for about 18 seconds *PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME*.
Okay, I'm gonna be eating dinner now. Tomorrow I'm going to be going to a conference with my parents!
Bye! See you tomorrow!

Slice Of Life #179 - Shopping! - Wednesday, March 28th, 2019
I'm now at my hotel, back from dinner - although a late dinner.
My parents are now chatting with some of their friends, and I am sitting here on a chair in the reception writing this slice.
Today, I went shopping in an outlet in a place called Palm Springs. I bought 3 shoes, including 1 red Nike shoe that I am currently wearing and that I think looks pretty good.
I also bought 2 Sketchers shoes, one of them which is slightly larger than my current shoe size so I can wear it in the future. I also bought some green waterproof shoes.
All the Sketchers shoes that I bought have gel-infused memory foam because I really like them because they are really comfortable.
My mom bought a few things for her, but my dad didn't buy anything.
Now, I am a little worried because I want to be able to wake up early tomorrow morning because I am going to be going to Universal Studios.
Tomorrow, we are also be getting some things that we ordered. We sent it to my parents's friends's homes, and my parents's friends are coming tomorrow.
I am going to get my luggage tomorrow, so I'm going to be looking forward to it.
I'm gonna go sleep now! Bye!

Slice Of Life #178 - Disneyland! - Tuesday, March 26th, 2019
Whew! I've just came back from Disneyland here in the US, and I am really exhausted.
Disneyland was really fun despite he fact that the lines for each activity were really long.
The first activity that I took was a Star Wars one. This activity was a short 4D movie, but we had to wait for 50 minutes before we finally got to watch the movie.
The movie was really cool. The quality of the movie was really good and the people in the movie looked really cool.
Other than that, you also felt like you was actually moving because the chairs were also moving (which is what makes it 4D).
Inside the building where we waited and stood in the queue, there were also robots that could move and also talk to entertain us.
After the Star Wars activity, I decided to give to an activity that was called 'Astro Blasters'. In Astro Orbiters, we had to wait 45 minutes in the line until we actually got to play it.
Once again, the game was really cool. We sat in a car that moved with a gin and tried to shoot targets on the walls. Targets that were lit up have you more points, but as long as we hit the target we earned points. At the end, I managed to get 4,400 points. My mom got 13,000 points, and somehow my dad managed to get 39,000 points.
After that, we went to an activity where we got to drive cars (that aren't as large as normal cars). I kept crashing into the objects when we had to turn left and the right the next second because I didn't turn 5he steering wheel enough and instead turned it back to the middle instead of the right or left.
There were lots of "lands" in Disney land. In my opinion, Tomorrowland, which was the land that1 we started out in (all the previous activities were there - the Astro Blasters, Star Wars).
After a while, we went to Fantasyland. I didn't find Fantasyland as entertaining, but I went on a roller coaster which was short but extremely fun.
Next, I went into Mickey's Toontown, which is another land. I found a door that was pretty cool because (I think it had a wire attached to it), the door should fill with color and produce a few sounds. The door was supposed to be an entrance to a power plant (although fake), so I think that it was supposed to be electricity crackling, out of control. We walked through Mickey's Toontown, exited it, and went to Frontierland.
In Frontierland, I played the Fronteirland Shootin' Exposition, where we had a rifle (a fake but a little heavy one) and had to shoot targets.
After going to Frontierland, I went to Adventureland, which was next to Frontierland. In Adventureland, I went on the Jungle Cruise, where we got on a boat and sailed around a course that was set up for us. The course was really cool as it had lots of animals in it to represent the wildlife in different places. Other than that, the animals looked surprisingly real and the "boat driver" did a good job narrating. She even had a starter pistol that she fired, which I found cool.
After that, we walked out of Adventureland, passed New Orleans Square, and went to Critter Country. In Critter Country, we went to an activity called "The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" just for the fun if it. Fortunately, the line wasn't very long as the ride was short and there were lots of "carts" to carry us around.
In Critter Country, we stopped by the restaurant to get a Vegan Burger and some Onion Rings to eat.
After that, we slowly walked to the exit. We stopped by a shop to buy some clothes for me before exiting the park.
In my opinion, this adventure was a really fun one. I got to have lots of fun, which is what's most important. Other than that, my jetlag's getting better, so that's good. It's going to be a great time in the US!

Slice of Life #177 - Jetlag... - Monday, March 25th, 2019
My first full day in the US has passed quickly, and I am suffering from jetlag.
Yesterday, I set an alarm so I would be able to wake up at 7:00am, but I ended up walking up at 4 and reading instead because I couldn't sleep.
Woah! I just lost my tooth! Excuse me for a second...
Now, my mouth feels really weird because I am not used to not having that tooth in my mouth.
Today, I went to the science center. I was really tired because of jetlag, but I still managed to have fun there. I really liked the simulators because they were really cool.
There was a hurricane simulator, and me and my family decided to go in it. What ended up happening was my dad's spectacles blowing off his head and landing outside the simulator. Fortunately, my dad's spectacles were okay.
Tomorrow, I will be going to Disney Land. I hope that I won't be having jetlag tomorrow!

Slice Of Life #176 - In A Hotel - Sunday, March 24th 2019
Currently, I am sitting in a chair a few meters away from the TV watching a cooking competition while eating a Subway sandwich.
Me and my family are now currently in the US. My dad has a conference here, so me and my mom are going to follow him.
The conference doesn't start until the 28th, so we are going to spend the first 4 days having fun here, in Los Angeles.
Ugh! Another ad! My dad is now turning down the heater because it is starting to get hotter now.
Now, I am setting an alarm for tomorrow. I have to work out the math for the timing now because my watch is still set to Malaysia's time zone. The time in LA is 15 hours different from the time in Malaysia, so I have to set the alarm to 10pm in order for it to be 7am in LA. In LA, the time is now 10:47 at night.
Okay, singing off for now! Bye!
