Next stop was the Geller's House, or Ross and Monica's parent's house from FRIENDS. — at Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood. © Evan Hwong Photographs

This is our guide's first solo tour so it was a bit bumpy. That's the stairs where Ross of FRIENDS sat playing his organ to Rachel in one of their famous flashback scenes. — at Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood. © Evan Hwong Photographs

Outside the entrance to WB's offices. Ehhh... What's up doc? — at Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood. © Evan Hwong Photographs

Me a Donald D-... waitaminute. I guess we were unlucky to get an inexperienced guide else this would've been quite fun. Unfortunately there's no FRIENDS sets or anything aside from the plaque earlier but we did get 3 shirts and a big mug from the gift store. — at Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood. © Evan Hwong Photographs

Next stop was to Paramount Pictures Studios so while we had a little time to spare, we looked for somewhere to eat and found this uber healthy place where celebs hang out at Cafe Gratitude. I loved the concept but the food took awhile for me to palate coz I've never been a fan of vegan. Their menu started with "I AM..." and each item uses all those feel-good stuffs like "Glorious", "Extraordinary", "Awesome" etc. — at Cafe Gratitude L.A. © Evan Hwong Photographs

After noms, off to our next tour! — at Paramount Pictures Studios © Evan Hwong Photographs

First stop: Prop warehouse... HOMG Bumblebee!!!!!! — at Paramount Pictures Studios © Evan Hwong Photographs

HOMG Optimus Prime!!!!!!!!!!!! — at Paramount Pictures Studios © Evan Hwong Photographs

The official truck used for film!!! — at Paramount Pictures Studios © Evan Hwong Photographs

The props department has a lot of awesome stuffs including items from Interstellar Movie to Mad Max. — at Paramount Pictures Studios © Evan Hwong Photographs

By far I think this is the best non-themepark backlot tour. They even use iPads! grin emoticon — at Paramount Pictures Studios © Evan Hwong Photographs

The studio's "Hall of Fame" — at Paramount Pictures Studios © Evan Hwong Photographs

Including a picture of Tom Hanks on the first day and take filming Forrest Gump. — at Paramount Pictures Studios © Evan Hwong Photographs

That's the real Forrest Gump bench! For the purpose of the long filming hours, the bench was made at a 90 degrees angle so Tom Hank's iconic Forrest posture can be made. — at Paramount Pictures Studios © Evan Hwong Photographs

The famous Paramount gates. — at Paramount Pictures Studios © Evan Hwong Photographs

I'd like to thank my pepper grinder for this prestigious honor! Mwahh mwahh mwahhhh!!! — at Paramount Pictures Studios © Evan Hwong Photographs

The Transformers franchise has made so much money to Paramount that they named one of the lanes in the backlot the Michael Bay Avenue. — at Paramount Pictures Studios © Evan Hwong Photographs

We learned so much more on how moviemaking and tv shows were made. Fans of FRIENDS would recognize this place where Joey and Chandler ran around the streets looking for the missing baby they're supposed to look after. — at Paramount Pictures Studios © Evan Hwong Photographs

We also visited some soundstages... — at Paramount Pictures Studios © Evan Hwong Photographs

This one (photo wasn't allowed so I sneaked it) was for the taping of Dr. Phil. — at Paramount Pictures Studios © Evan Hwong Photographs

And another set I think for The Thundermans. — at Paramount Pictures Studios © Evan Hwong Photographs

After Paramount, a drive up to Griffith Park to go visit the Hollywood Sign... by horse. No experience necessary. No, not that tiny Hollywood Sign replica... the ACTUAL one you'll see later lol! — at Sunset Ranch Hollywood © Evan Hwong Photographs

The treck took 2hrs along the narrow steep path of the winding hills up and down the national park. — at Sunset Ranch Hollywood © Evan Hwong Photographs

Wefies or selfies were challenging coz we couldn't stand still — at Sunset Ranch Hollywood © Evan Hwong Photographs

The view of the park from the top... Notice the paths on the middle and right? We came from below the antennas on the right all the way to another hill higher than the Griffith Observatory. — at Griffith Park © Evan Hwong Photographs

That's Sher and Sugar — at Griffith Park. © Evan Hwong Photographs

And me with Kennedy. — at Griffith Park © Evan Hwong Photographs

Can you see Griffith Observatory in the middle right? To go this high up you're only allowed to treck by foot, or use these horsies. — at Griffith Park © Evan Hwong Photographs

On the way back, the best angle and view of the Hollywood Sign we could see before the sunset. The signs are closed off from visitors so that's the closest you can get. — at Griffith Park © Evan Hwong Photographs

After we're done, the horses were allowed to roam on their own. — at Sunset Ranch Hollywood © Evan Hwong Photographs

Many places we've been in and around LA we can see the Hollywood Sign from afar but this was probably THE best way to end our trip of Hollywood. — at Sunset Ranch Hollywood © Evan Hwong Photographs

Prior to our journey, we planned our trip thematically: Orlando for their themeparks, Washington DC for its museums, San Francisco for their food, and Los Angeles for the movies. Riding Sugar and Kennedy felt like to good o'l wild wild west, an apt closure to one heck of a memorable vacation together. — at Sunset Ranch Hollywood © Evan Hwong Photographs

Getting Uber was a bit difficult because we couldn't get 4G or even 3G until we walked further down to civilization along N Beachwood Dr. We decided to end the night in Burger Kings for dinner then Pinkberry for dessert before heading back to reluctantly pack up one last time. Our last view of Sunset Boulevard. — at Sunset Boulevard © Evan Hwong Photographs

With a heavy heart, we departed LA to fly home to Singapore on an 18hr flight + 3hr transit in Narita the day after. — at Narita International Airport © Evan Hwong Photographs
