U.S Southwest Road-Trip Day 7: Barstow Premium Outlet, Primm Premium Outlet & Las Vegas

Woke up early to get ready for our drive to Las Vegas! I think it was a 6 to 8 hours drive from Los Angeles but in between we managed to have a stopover at Barstow and Primm Premium Outlets, two of them! Heard from boy that Barstow has got the cheapest branded stuffs, but with not as much variety though. Well, good enough!

My first time to a premium outlet and it really is quite big. We took longer than the pre-planned time to shop because there were just too many shops! The premium outlets are usually located in the middle of nowhere.

Had to take a photo of the directory because Primm Premium Outlet is much bigger than Barstow!

Oakley sunglasses for my neighbor and brother. They said Oakley is much cheaper there in the US.

Coach wristlets for only USD39.

Super cheap! I dont really use wristlets but I just have to get myself one. In the end I gave it to my mum as I could not find any occasion to use it lol. Oh and did I mention the Coach stores there are always at 50% to 70% off? It is always full of people when I go in. People rushing to grab their bags and many many sales assistants to help you get what you need by showing them photos.

Men's coach wallets, requested by my Aunt.

 

Finished the shopping and continued our drive to Las Vegas! Super excited.

There we finally reached! Casinos everywhere in the hotels and they do not have security guards to stop you from going in even if you are underaged. Basically it is like an open concept, anyone can go in with no closed doors.

This is Las Vegas - finally I am here!

There were limousines everywhere but I did not manage to take any photos of it. :(

Those black long limousines you will get to see in movies - yes those are the ones that we saw everywhere in Las Vegas.

Boy told me that these limousines brought people to "shows".

Bustling with life!

Failed shot lol.

Ok.. so we thought it is not going to be that cold and we left our jackets and coats in the hotel. We both were daring enough to just wear shorts. But we totally regret it when we got out of our hotel. It was freaking cold to the point boy had rashes over his legs because it was freezing.

With boy's mum and sis.

Flamingo! Another place where I now recognize in movies!

Treasure Island where there's supposed to be an outdoor show but they canceled the show due to strong winds I think.

Day 8 to be continued!

U.S Southwest Road-Trip Day 6: Los Angeles (Hollywood)

On Day 6, it was still Hollywood, but more into depth! As boy's dad and relatives are fans of boxing man Manny Pacquiao, we went to where he usually train for his boxing and was very honored to be able to take a photo with Manny Pacquiao's trainer!

Went over to Cosco to stock up food for our next destination!

Saw Samsung Galaxy Tab selling for only US$199.99, super cheap as compared to SG.

The super-uber big box of Pop Tart. Felicia will love this.

After that we went to Madam Tussauds the famous wax museum!

I filtered away quite a few photos as most of them were indecent lol. The ones below are the more decent ones we took!

As night falls, we headed over to the Universal Studios to just catch a glimpse of how it is like over in the US. We didn't put the Universal Studios as part of our itinerary as we heard that Singapore's one is much better than the one in US.

IT Sugar, where I randomly walked in to find that it sells all kinds of candy. And this is also where I had bought Wee Jia's requested Sharapova sweets!

Saw people playing this (I forgot what they call it) at a pub in Universal Studios and thought it was really interesting! Even ladies who wore dresses went up and play this.

And then he falls off.

Ended Day 6 rather late so it was another lethargic night, yet happy!

Thank you for bringing me into your life.

Those words you told me really touched my heart. I didn't know how I feel or what I say will actually create an impact on you because I was so used to the previous you.

Thank you for bringing me comfort whenever you can and trying to provide me with the things I unreasonably wanted. To hear you tell me that you will provide for me and that I can stop working and do what I want was a moment I can never imagine of. Deep down inside I was so touched but I did not know how to express it except for smiling.

You are the only one who feel me, understands what I really want and trying your very best to make my life as comfortable as possible.

I have never told you how fortunate I was to have you, but I really am.

I am sure you can do it.

There's nothing you want but you can't get it (:

Thank you, my boy.

When I am down.

At this point in time, I really felt like having a friend to sit with me and say nothing except to listen to my cries. Then I realized there is no one I can call to.

How could I have done to make things better in the first place?

No answer no matter how many times I asked myself this question.

Maybe I should keep quiet.

On a side note, every single comment made I take it to heart even though I may appear not.

You have no idea how it affects me day by day, bit by bit to the point I am finally breaking down now.

I hate myself.
