Update from Sanata Ana, Cali which essentially is within Orange County.

Staying at Travelodge again. But a much better place. Room quality and structure is so much better. Not to mention, the great thing IS.. there's net access and it's pretty consistent too. it's fantastic.

Anyway, life here is pretty ok. Cept, show taking quite abit to take off with new casts and changes and all. no idea how or if it'll come through at the end but well, doesn't affect me really.

The hours are silly tho which my colleague is ACTUALLY encouraing me to log down the hours and try to get more pay cos I'm really spending a lot of time working which is silly. I mean, my hours are like 12-14 hours daily which is crazy. And almost working everyday. I do believe there's around 4 days of off days in total if I'm not wrong. And for the pay I'm gettin, it's quite a silly thing really. So yah.

currently been slightly under the weather which kinda sucks cos tt means I can't eat the best foods here :( So lotsa sandwhiches and chinese noodle soups and all. Healthy as possible foods. So yah. Actually popping vitamin pills and drinkin shit loads of watrer which is tricky cos not used to drinkin the tap water here.

but this location's much better. Got better and more variety of food at the hotel AND the theatre so it's fantastic man. Weather's gettin a bit better and the air conditioning here is slightly more controllable. Not so drastic so it's great.

Currently keeping my eye out for a lot of stuff which I am hoping to would help to calculate my budget for studies here. So checking up on cars, banks here as well as apartment rentals and stuff, sorta to make things easier when I come over. Least I know what to expect really. I think this trip I'm having is really really helpful in getting the information and research i need for the schooling.

The car's here first hand for a honda civic is 16,000USD. There's a dancer who's car is very no frills. One of the cheapest car, a civic, no auto windows, no central locking, auto car, 2 door (not the sporty kind lah) and tt's how much it cost. So I got a choice of that OR, I research into getting a 2nd hand car. Which i'm thinkin the latter should be better cos I can get a 4-5 year old car for half the price of a first hand. But I gotta research into cars man.

Work's kinda silly. Very much like army. I spend a lot of time idling at the theatre and trying to look busy as well cos if i look too free, i'll end up doing silly things. Sheesh. Much worse is silly things i'm not supposed to be responsible for even. So yah, tt's the sianz part.

Anyway, I'd wanna talk more but I think i need to research online more seeing I'm only online at 10ish in the night here n i need to get ready by 8.45 in the morning, makes life quite sucky really. So yah, but dun worry, life's much better than last week. I'm just curious how the show is gonna take off when the show day comes on wednesday :p not tt it affects me cos seriously, go or not, makes no diff to me. If it goes, good lor, else, got drama to see :>

K lah, hope all the uni guys having their exams and stuff are doing well, k? Take care all. I'm missing you guys. Hope to catch up with everyone soon when I return. Take care y'all. All the best. :)
