Day 2, NYC



i realised something. parents DUN get the meaning of sleeping late. even though they are damn tired or what. haha, they seem to have a maximal limit of how late they can sleep to, somewhere along the lines of 7+.. sighz.. oh well

i realised america's really obsessed about big. BIG buildings, BIG portions, BIG statues.. BIG is beautiful to them.. but not to me lor.. haha! big means i cant properly take pictures of beautiful architecture and awesome sculptures, big means i can't finish all my food, and BIG means we have to walk ALOT. sigh

today my resolve was sorely tested and yeah.. I fell to the temptations of Godiva's Dark Caramel Chocolixir.. WAH.. IT'S DAMN GOOD!!! the people somehow mix it much better and with the added caramel chocolate taste, wah i nearly swooned with my first sip. it really feels like dreams and liquid chocolate mixed together!! haha


YUM!! and seriously, i was destined to drink it. cos i JUST could not escape the clutches of Godiva. Godiva was at the World Financial Center, Godiva was at Bloomingdales, Godiva was at Rockerfeller Center, Godiva was at Macy's.. EVERYWHERE!!

haha.. so liksin u wan me to send u the empty cup? haha.. kk i better stop tempting people. aniwez, Day 2 was more on like on a trail of American History pretty much like the show "National Treasure", as we went from 911 Ground Zero(a complete waste of time considering it's just a gaping absence of building amidst all the buildings), to City Hall, to NYSE, Trinty Church and so on.. the buildings are majestic, awesome and just wow..



City Hall and Ground Zero Site


had better luck with regards to food today as breakfast was the traditional american deal of bacon, cheese and egg on a roll(i dun get the american slang.. sigh) which was YUMMY!! lunch was taken at some chinese restaurant @ Chinatown whilst dinner was a delicious burger @ Macy's.. haha..not much ketchup this time round.



Oh.. and I managed to catch Carrie Underwood's performance for CBS Daily Show just outside the apple shop! she's really chio lor! haha.. quite amazed i could get quite close and take pics.. and yeah.. her voice IS good. it's like crisp and flawless one.. haha.. the pics are for u gy.. haha




NYSE, Winter Garden @ WFC, Trinity Church



Oh yeah and the trip to Macy's was really pretty fun.. it's like Linken's paradise bah.. haha.. the store is big, I spent like 1hr+ and couldnt finish the first 3 levels.. haha.. and i dunno.. are SGD$76.80 levi's jeans cheap? haha.. resisting the urge to buy first.. also spotted the project runway winning design by Angela on sale at INC.. it's not that nice lor.. haha

that's abt it.. today's more about waiting to go Ithaca le.. stupid airport security's been ramped up.. -_- ciao!
