New hobbies

No. 1: Watch Hannah Montana.

 


The cable tv here have a hundred channels, literally. One of my favourite is the Disney channel, where they will show Hannah Montana without fail every single day. Back when I was back in Singapore, I have heard of this person without knowing who the hell is she. Only when I am in US and chance upon an episode of Hannah Montana then I realise it was a very funny comedy serial!

 

Anw, it was about this 16 year old girl whose show name is called Hannah Montana and she is a world renown superstar. However her real name is called Miley Stewart (and her really real real name is Miley Cyrus... can be really confusing...) and no-one knows about her superstar identity except her family and a couple of close friends. Then the show is about the interesting things that happened around her, her father, her brother and her friends... all of whom are damn funny by themselves. And the father in the show is really her real father in real life! Pretty cool guy. =)

 

A good show to watch when you have nothing to do. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Wizards of Waverly Place are pretty good too! America has some pretty damn good scriptwriters and actors. And they are showing Hannah Montana the Movie here soon. You bet I am going to watch!

 

No. 2: Coin collecting.

 

The coins here in USA are damn confusing. They are called quarters, dimes, pennies etc, and their size is not proportional to the value it contains. It took us quite along while to figure what their values actually are. For the uninitiated, quarters are 25 cents, dimes are 10 cents and pennies are 1 cents.  

 

Anw the quarters here are very interesting. They have this State Quarters Program where they release 50 different types of quarters, each having a different picture for each of the 50 American states. And so yup, I have collecting them for the past 6 weeks... right now I got 36/50. Quite hard to find the rest though, but I will continue to try hard! *determined*

 

No. 3: Shopping

 

Self explanatory. Spent around S$3000 during my past 6 weeks here. Mostly on food though. But here is a freaking shopping heaven! CK, Gap, Nike, Adidas, Fossil, Coach etc etc... Shiok!

 

 

Another day in USA.
