I was watching this Megastructure in Discovery about six flag marine park on one lazy weekend that all out of a suddent that I remembered I'd been to one of those in Vallejo California. It really came to me as a great astonishment that my "business vacation" to Rohnert Park has been two years from then.
Perhaps the memory did not carve deeply as I thought they would be. So I've decided to make a two-year-dued shattered journal on my visit.
I landed on San Francisco Airport in early May 2004. End of spring. Interrogated by the immigration and ISA for my application for visa was not processed on the spot back in KL. Picked up by Debbie with a small coach, we headed to Rohnert Park. We took highway 101 (I supposed) and that was when I caught a look of beautiful mansions along some part of the highway at night! And the dimly lit Golden Gate Bridge was just, erm, breathtaking..
Then, it's either the whole Jumbo B team ate too much at Changi airport 16 hours ago or may be the nice looking coach was just skin deep, it broke down. We stopped at Petaluma after a forced exit from the highway (somewhere near the Motel 6).
We were picked up by another coach and safely arrived Rohnert Park Vintage Pointe Apartment. It was near midnight by then. I am in Apartment #13, sharing the two-room apartment with KA. Unpacked, brushed, called home, went off to bed.
ps: Oh we cant figure out how to turn the shower on that we got to call Syamimah, some Malaysian folk who was already there, to figure it out!) hahaha!

The next morning I got a morning call from our Team Leader (later a.k.a Gousai See. or DogShit See. Dont misunderstand, she is a very pretty lady from my hometown!). Big boss was there in Rohnert Park for his last day stay before flying off to Portland. He had asked us to gather in his apartment for a short briefing and off we went out for shopping! Yay!
We went out to a chinese restaurant in the town of Rohnert Park and got a treat from our beloved generous mr Wee. We then made our first stop at Napa Valley Outlet. Bought some winter clothings and my durable $12 Nike Bag. The very next thing I know was we were then heading to San Franscisco!
We made trips to Pier 39 (the premier bay attraction) and Lombard Street before buying some groceries in the famous Chinatown and had a dinner there. On Wee again!
