Heyyyyall.
SO I'M BACK FROM TAHOE, and here is my loooooong post which will be divided into 3 parts.
L.A . Countdown. Tahoe. A very happening end-of-year celebrations lol.
Lets go ~~~


L.A feat. Disneyland/Universal Studios/Seaworld. 


So after Christmasing, we drove down to L.A the next day!! It's seriously a very long drive, but I love the sceneries along the way!! They're so beautifullll. & it was also a good time for us to catch up on some sleep from the intense Christmasing lol. 

Our first meal in L.A at Ihop which is right next to our hotel.

Entering the magical gates!!!!! 

Disneyland. 

One of the rides that we took - driving without license. 

Matthew stuck in traffic. 

We went to the Pirates ride, & I saw this hehehehe. My Captain Jack Sparrow. 

So Josh told me about this Fantasmic show at Disneyland, I've heard of it but never got to see it with my own eyes. IT WAS SO MAGICAL I loved every second of it!! Unfortunately my phone's battery ran out before I can take some photos for memories. But it's definitely a show I'd recommend to others if they ever visit Disneyland :)

CASTLE !!!

When it got dark, we caught the amazing Christmas Parade!!! It's soooo good!! 

POOH BEAR AHAHAHA. 

They are cute & creepy at the same time...

Hi Ariel ^_^

A kid yelled "Where's Cinderella!!!!" and the lady in green was like "WHY DO YOU CARE?!?!"
hahahahahhahaha. so funny. 

Gingerbread people. 

Beauty & the beast.

Aurora's so pretty!
 I love the princesses but I was quite disappointed there was no Rapunzel :( Oh well.

The castle is so beautiful at night. 

THEY HAD FAKE SNOW!! TEHEHEHE.

I love Radiator Springs. They built the whole set omg. & CARS RIDE , THE BEST RIDE EVER.

This have to be the highlight of my Disneyland trip. LOL. Taking the Tower of Terror was such a terrible thing to do in the morning, but it woke me up. Because of the fear.

My 2 brave warriors hehehe.


I can't even. I'm the only scared one in this photo. 

I think this show is called World of Colors?? Love it!!! Another amazing show.

Besides Disneyland, we went to Universal Studios & Seaworld as well !! I'll let the photos do the talking....

Girl holding boom mic. It's actually me.

We went on this awesomeeee studio tour!! Which featured actual sets. I was so amazed. 
The queue is cray. Lol.

A set from Back to the Future OMGGGGGGG I love that movie so much!!!!!!!!!

THE DeLorean . Omigosh. 

Fast & Furious whoop. 

Trust me when I say this ship is a miniature. ITS MINI FORREAL. 

They built this for a plane crash scene. It's so good . 

PROUDEST BUY OF THE DAY HAHAHA (of the whole trip maybe) 

TRANSFORMERS RIDE!! finally took it! It's awesome!! But the wait kills. The queue is so long we were just freezing to death outside.

O so after a longggg day at Universal and after days of eating hotdogs/pizzas... we finally got some real food !!! We had korean hehehehe. Spicy soup is def what people need on a cold cold day. It's soooo good, I was just tearing up from the spiciness but it tastes so good. 

& so we went to Seaworld too!!! Qt whales hehe they are so huge. 

Beautiful jump teehee.

We had dinner at Bubble Gump after!! 

I forgot what I ordered but I remember that I love it alot. SUPER GOOD.

So we ended our L.A journey with magical fireworks ...

We stopped by Saddleback for service the next morning! It feels alot like City Harvest lol.

Back at Cornerstone/ Countdown to 2013 

So after we went back to SF, we were required to shoot the Baptism service & Watch night on New years eve.


Letters for my favorites :) Hehe

I was on control room sound duty all night, so it was nothing much but I did make a few mistakes here and there. Results of not working for too long. The baptism was quite emotional, but I feel happy for everyone :D

Oh hi Charlene. 

Me trolling Joylynn from the control room ROFL. We caught her on cam so I was asking her to look, but she couldn't find me HAHAHAHA. 

oh superstar. LOL.

After the service everyone went to the cafetorium for food, there weren't many people left since alot left after the baptism. Pastor Scott started the countdown, and we went into 2013 waiting for porridge HAHAHAHA. So interesting lol. & the next day, which is new years day, Boss brought us out for Banana Island and Les Miserables with the bunch later in the afternoon :)

Then after just barely spending a day back at SF, we went away again...to LAKE TAHOE!!

South Lake Tahoe

The first thing I'm so excited about is ALL THE SNOW I'LL SEE. and the place did not disappoint.
The amount of snow over there LOL it's so unreal. But I love it!!

Our house/cabin hehe.

On the inside!

The creepy deer head AHAHAHA. What chu lookin' at.


The kitchen.

The room I shared with Ace:)

Outside our room window. Icicles omagod. 

People legit building houses from scratch. super cool!

Lol looks like a scene from a movie.

I TOUCHED SNOW YEAY. Mission accomplished. Just touching it makes me happy lol what. 

More snow more snow moreeee snow. 

So we went snowmobiling!!!!!!! feat. Boss & Nathan. 

Nope, I didn't drive. Lol.

Boss brought us to walk around this pretty little town area. 

Lol the sceneries here are so amazing I refuse to believe it's real. But yup, theyre real. 

I love German Shepherds!!!!! It's too bad I didn't get to play with it more...

We also went for Skiing/Snowboarding lessons! I went for the skiing lesson at Squaw valley, but not at Alpine. I was so worn out from just one simple lesson, so I concluded it's not exactly what I enjoy. It was a good experience though! Having tried it, at least. Hehe. 

Last meal before heading back to SF.

& now we are safely back at Cornerstone...
There's only one week left before we go back, I really want to make full use of it.
My next & final post will include reflection and thanks to ...

Till then , so much love,
Elyz Lim.
