VINTAGE;
rock on!
First of all, huge thanks to those we came down to send both joanne and I. (:
We have reached New York!! =D at Singapore time 1910h . I cant believe i wasted one whole day on the plane. Those 19 hours on the plane was torturous. Anyway it was really really cold, but i am so loving the weather as compared to Singapore's current burning HOT weather.
to my Dad, Mum, temporarily disabled Sis and Bro who was having his exams: not to worry okays. (: take careee~
zhenhao, i mean it when u have to treat me after u start work. (:
anyway fiona! ): should have brought bah hu, cos as long as dont declare they will not know!! ):
randel and his gf, cassandra!
and of cos, sweet cheetat who gave us delicious Royce chocolates and his 7 pages of card. (:
Not to forget, jo-ann, shannie and all of those mentioned by Joanne. Also thanks to all those who couldnt be there and wished me all the best!
Okays currently in Hotel New Yorker located "near" Penn Station with two other Russian girls.
Now let me define "near" : Instructions and map seems to suggest that the airport shuttle bus that costs me about SGD22.50 will stop near the hotel. In the end, it took us more than 35 mins to cross 4 avenues and 6 streets, dragging an extremely heavy suitcase and heavy bag until my sore fingers gave way at sudden high bumps. ):
It's like wow. I mean NY is big, we do know. but the map was seriously deceiving. luckily the pretty decent hotel room compensated for it. (:
A walk along Broadway.
and then Fifth Avenue which is of course known for all the luxury brands like Nine West, LV etc.
love the trees up on this building! (:
dont ask me how we finish it. We din, even though we shared it with Min Tuan(mentioned by joanne below). (: He's a nice guy, and he reminds me of Tan Chee Tat. haha
I like this shot I took of the Flat Iron Building. It is actually triangle shaped but at certain angles it looks very flat.
and the Famous Times Square! (:
I saw 5 Fedex Express trucks in a short span of like 3hours in the same midtown district! And it reminded me of someone special. (:
Central Park was our next destination, despite it being like 30 plus streets away from where we were at that point of time. And yes, we walked. (: I seriously love walking, even though the CONSTANT honking of the vehicles is not appreciated.
Strawberry fields where a circle of roses are laid for the Beetles.
and i spotted this lovely squirrel munching on a seed!! SUPER CUTE! (:
warning before viewing the video:
i have no idea why my voice sounds SO squeaky.
pardon me, i was excited. (:
and how can we even forget to visit the scene where the movie"Enchanted" was filmed. In which i could not resist but played the songs out loud. (:
It was really tiring to walk over 100 streets in a day. but it was indeed an experience. Amazing how we took more than an hour just to walk from Central Park back to our hotel. (:
will be visiting Chinatown and maybe the uptown of Manhattan today! (((:
