Pre-graduation trips pt.1- Miami

I haven't had the time to update my blog in a while.Been way busy traveling since the semester is over and I'm graduating.My last chance to spend daddy's moolah, hang out with my friends without worries and just go crazy.Life at this point feels so good.Makes me feel like I never wanna grow up.
SY and SK loves Miami!

Anyways, my entourage and partner in crime Jas came from Italy to visit.She's so hot now!OMG!I'm so so jealous.Stop salivating people, she's mine!!!!Maybe people can be jealous of us instead so I don't have to be jealous at her.I took her around Baltimore and did some clubbing and stuff before leaving for our first trip to Miami. That place is awesome and we had a blast!Feels so good to get out of the cold Baltimore and hit the beach where most people are friendly and the atmosphere is casual and reeking of money.I wish I could move there and stay forever.Unfortunately,it was too cold most of the time for us to sun tan at the beach so we ended up spending our days shopping and our nights drinking and partying the night away.

Upon arriving, we hit Espanola Way for delicious tapas. Jas ordered some cocktail there. She told me it was so strong but I didn't believe her and took a sip and almost gag. According to people, for the price you pay, you better be getting STRONG drinks. I'm surprised I didn't see anyone passing out on the streets.
The expression on Jas's face is for the drink and not the food

On the first night, we pre-gamed at WetWillies. Our floor staff there was so nice and funny and kept trying to throw lame jokes at us. We then proceeded to this club called Opium Garden. Going in I was shocked at my first taste of Miami nightlife. Beautiful club and beautiful people all around puts shame to clubs in Baltimore and KL alike. This is the most gorgeous club I've ever seen in my life!!!!What else to do but camwhore around!We didn't manage to take too many pictures because we were not suppose to bring cameras in.The pictures we took do this club no justice so I won't even post them.Check out their website to see how it looks like and be amazed.Jas came out on miami2night.com so if you're lucky may just see the picture.

We woke up early the next day hoping to go to the beach only to find out it was raining. We ended up shopping and only manage to stay at the beach a little bit in the evening before the sun set. Since we had to wake up crazy hours the next day for Key West, we decided to be good and only went for a bottle of wine. Our waiter ended up to be a crazy stalking Mexican dude.Arrghh...I'm gonna spare the details.Leave out the drama and show pretty pictures.

Key West turned out to be a big disappointment.I guess I was expecting too much after watching MTV. Firstly, our tour guide didn't tell us it would not worth going snorkeling so we ended up going only to be stuck in the cold with the strong chilling wind blowing at us and with no where to go because we were in the middle of the sea!Jas didn't even bother going snorkeling and I went but couldn't see anything at all!I was so angry!The only good thing was that they had alcohol on the boat so I guess people couldn't really get angry and demand for a refund or things like that.People (including us) even tipped them as we were leaving.Oh well...can't blame them for the weather.The rest of our Key West tour consisted of drinking on the streets and camwhoring around statues.

This is where it all begins

Pretty sunset

We were invited to B.E.D. for dinner which turned out to be a happening club on Mondays. Since we thought it was a restaurant we didn't really dress up. Ended up being way too casual since everyone we saw there were in bling blings and dressed to impress. We forgot our camera so no pictures for that night.miami2night.com was there again that night and wanted to take my picture but I politely declined since I wanted to keep a low profile.What happens in Miami stays in Miami.This includes fashion faux pas.
The next day we pretty much shopped the whole day again and decided to check out this place called Mango for our last night since everyone kept raving about it when we were in South Beach. Turned out it was just a restaurant cum entertainment center to watch people dancing, singing and having fun in a casual atmosphere.Cover charge was $15 per person but our nice host/bouncer paid for us to go in!haha.The privileges of being female huh.The place was filled with tourists and locals alike strutting it for all their worth on the dance floor while the band sings and dances.Entertainment came during break times and it was so fun to watch.
Check out the uniforms

This is Miami's form of entertainment

It just keeps on coming

Wanna guess why my hair was up that night?

Nuff said?

Haha. Just joking.Gotcha there right. Nah no Miami Ink from me...I know Michelle will be dissapointed
Instead I got it across the street!!Yup...my very first tattoo!It's still peeling now so I don't wanna take any pictures of it.Will post it up one day.....
That wraps up our trip in Miami.I just got back from New York so I'm too tired to be writing about that now.Will try to update soon..Until then,Merry Christmas and a Happy 2008!
