Spring Break Part II - Hawaii!!!
I love Hawaii absolutely... ok less talking and more pictures. =) I will write our eventual itinery, just in case others wanna go O'ahu and can use mine as a reference.Day 1 (just Dinner + walking on the streets)
Reached there relatively late. By the time we reached the hotel (Queen Kapiolani Hotel), it is already 6pm. We initially planned to go Diamond Head but it was abit late and we can't catch the sunset. So we just headed to the streets to find dinner.
Reached the airport.. got welcomed likes celebrities (cheers for PAP!)
View from my hotel room - Diamond Head
Hsien Xiong, Diana, Me, Gabriel (I don't know why he tilted his head so near mine), Natalie and Justin Winegar!
Jinzhan and the exchange babes
Dinner was not too good.. i even forgot what is the name of the restaurant (didn't even take a pic of it). It is along Kuhio road. Anyway, decided to walk along the streets.. taught the girls a few tips on bargaining/haggling.
International Market Place!
We rented a minivan and a pontiac. Oops.. didnt take a pic with the pontiac. (I drove a pontiac previously)
Day 2 (Free Breakfast + Sightseeing + Kailua Beach + Diamond Head + Dinner)
Breakfast was included in our deal (Very cheap, just USD470 for 4 nights of hotel stay and to & fro air tics plus transport to and from airport). So might as well.
Because of the breakfast, in the end we were late for our first stop - Hanauma Bay. It is a heaven for snorkelling. If you wanna drive there, you have to reach there before 8am. We missed it so we drove along the eastern coast and saw some great scenery.
Geography in action (Leading edge)
Must take a solo pic.. haha..
We decided to go some beach where we can rent some stuff and do some water sports like kayaking etc. Saw an advertisement regarding Kailua Beach on some pamphlets so we headed there.
Drive along eastern coast (Look at the waves!)
Kailua Beach!
Learnt how to go body surf from Justin. It was damn fun la.. Played some frisbee too.
Me + Miao Hui
This is where a terrible incident happened. Charmaine's bag got stolen.. We were too kiddish and went into the water.. It happened very fast.. What goes around comes around. Dirtbags get bad karma and it will hit them twice as hard..
We headed to Diamond Head which we didn't do for the first evening. It is something like the Griffith Park of Los Angeles. We can oversee most of O'ahu Island. Diamond Head is actually the crater of a dead volcano. It takes a hike up, about 30 min. Not for the faint hearted but it was well worth it.. =)
Starting point
The hike up. The board told visitors to prepare themselves well and wear shoes.. but we all wore slippers.. sorry guys, i didn't do my research well [Hey, you guys didn't do the research and let me +miaohui do all e planning work =(]
Super steep flight of stairs
The Hunks
The carpark is actually on the crater
Pretty clouds seen on Diamond Head. Felt like i can touch them!
We drove back to our hotel and had dinner. Waikiki is super near our hotel.

Just had some quick dinner and slept early for the next day..
