New York New York~





trying to past some time while on the plane to New York, hehe



Day 1 (22/7/07)
After 2 super uncomfortable flights, I’m here! New York City! Gonna go stay with Da gu’s fren, Auntie Lily. Auntie is so nice! She went all the way to the airport to look for me and brought me around too. We went to Staten Island, saw the Statue of Liberty and World Trade Center but I was too tired to really appreciate all these. So, nothing much..


I had to force Auntie Lily to take this picture. Look, she still refuses to smile -_-

look how cui the subway is!! i hate the subway!

and this is my room. how shiok! its big!!

Day 2 (23/7/07)
What a day! Spent half the day at home cuz it was pouring non-stop. -_-“ too lazy to go out at all since its quite a distance away from Manhattan. Den I met jianfeng online. Turned out that he just reached New York today. Thus we met in Brooklyn and contemplated to go to Brighton Beach, which is supposed to be nearby but we didn’t managed to get there =( okays, I’m just rambling nonsense. I don’t really know what I’m thinking now anyway


Day 3 (24/7/07)
Supposed to go MOMA today but ended up walking around Rockefella Plaza, Times Square and 5th Ave. Hmmm, I think the place is not as good as ppl say it is. Not that fantastic. Basically nothing much today, just went around shopping. But sad to say, I didn’t buy much. Nothing really appealing to me. =( Oh! We wanted to go watch Harry Potter just now but decided against it again since I have to travel like 1 plus hr to reach home and I don’t think the neighbourhood I live in is exactly safe. So, wait for me Harry Potter! I’ll catch you tml! *sheesh* Gonna go be Auntie Lily’s personal translator tml. HOPEFULLY I can be of some use somehow hahaha. Though I have much doubts about it myself -_-“


i love the architectural styles of the churches!


okays ppl, try to imagine..this IS the Empire State Building (this is the best pic i could take. ESB is just too huge)

and look at the line of ppl waiting to pay to go up ESB -_-


this is Times Square, nothing spectacular though. quite disappointed


Day 4 (25/7/07)
Auntie brought me to a Vietnamese restaurant at Chinatown and I realized one thing. Vietnamese love veg! every dish has like big portions of veg and auntie is like forcing me to eat all the veg! torture meeeee! But I seriously feel super xinfu here. I finally get to eat home-cooked food every day! Delicious home-cooked breakfast and dinner! This is the way man! Getting fatter and fatter by the day…BUIII BAHHHH!! Went to United Nations today. Quite interesting. And now, I finally know what’s UNICEF *cuiiii*



1/10 of the que of ppl waiting to go to ellis island for the statue of liberty
i love this shot (United Nations)


the ever famous bull (there were sooo many ppl waiting to get their pictures taken that i had to wait like 20min before i could steal this shot)


Day 5 (26/7/07)
Finally went to the legendary Central Park today. Well, it indeed is quite interesting although I only saw like a teeny weeny part of the whole park since its so damn big! It would be nice to cycle ard the park but I totally have no idea where to rent a bike from. They even have a theatre inside for frequent performances!

YES bingbing!! SOHO is indeed sooooo cool!!!! I love it! Soooo much shopping to do, sooooooo little money!! Howwwwww?!?!?! Don’t care! I’m definitely gonna go back there again the next few days! HAHHAHA and tap!! while i was shopping, this salesgirl was totally infatuated with my hairstyle. hahaha

Then it was so scary on my way home just now. There’s this guy sitting opposite me in the subway and I’m positive he was drawing my portrait. Initially I was intending to ask him show me the drawing before I leave the subway but then who knows he started following me home. Damn scary lah! I starting running towards home and luckily he disappeared. 0_0


can anyone tell me why there couldnt be any standing on the pavement between these times?

Belvedere Castle in Central Park
