beautiful NY!

pictures galore! (well sort of)..

went with gq to NYC for thanksgiving (and sorta with ck.. though of course he pang-sehed us to go live with his fren and came and left NY at different times from us) it was damn damn fun! a lil' ex in terms of food, but guess that was offset by staying at justin's place in columbia.. columbia's pretty nice too, just err.. teensy-weensy small, as though u take a template of a university and shrink it by size but increase the height. (yeah.. justin's dorm was on the 10th flr.. as we ithaca-country bumpkins went.. waaah.. so high)



pretty cool and quaint..

justin said this was some library or smth.. hmmz.. dunno

so yeah.. talking abt the city/country difference thingy, gq and i quickly realised how ulu-ated we had become after staying in ithaca for 3mnths++.. like we were complaining of bein asphyxiated in the endless subway tunnels and not seeing daylight etc.. lol

---
thanksgiving day itself was pretty much a bummer cos the weather was real terrible. honestly like shit cos it rained the whole fricking day and my hood got wet and it was pretty miserably cold. the only one to summon any enthusiasm to take photos and prance around was Mr. PhotoWhore CK, who insisted on taking pictures with some non-descript bull statue along the street and insisted on going to NYSE to take photos. -_-

we actually met up with a whole plethora of rj/army pple like harry, nigel, andrew, matthew, andy and so on,, and it was great fun traipsing down the wet streets with matt, andy, ck and gq despite the really shitty weather.



rockefeller rink!! wah really dreamining of seeing it since serendipity.. but too blardy cold to skate.. aand no one else enthu.. -_- (but it was an exorbitant $12 sia.. -_-)


statues galore.. atlas @ rockefeller and liberty @ ellis island


5th avenue revisited... thou shops all closed.. SIANZ


times square amidst the crowd..


actually i went on this trip mainly for shopping. ie. BLACK FRIDAY shopping. but the most irritating and disappointing thing obviously, after placing so much hopes, was that the sales pretty much SUCKED. went to the apple shop @ 5th at 12 midnite in hopes of catching a deal for the ipod nano.. but.. wah.. go all the way there and the price is only down by $10+? and the queue was circling the shop like 3 times? sianz..

went to jersey gardens the next day in hopes of better bargains.. but.. -_-.. the combined effect of lousy deals and insane queues left us buying stuff that probably could have been bought at Pmall.. -_-



nah.. no deal here..


two piles of shopping.. two different pple.. lol.. guess who bought which? hehe


so sadly, we embarked on our way back to ithaca.. (gq said he missed 'home' liao -_-)
but not before stopping by mrs fields and getting an absolutely delicious cookies and cream shake!!


yummy! and gq swooning over the drink in estascy.. lol

so yeah.. now back in ithaca with shitty food and cold weather.. but ah.. used to such life liao.. and love my bed and my packed up room as well! time for mugging le...

oh.. and my to-do list for next NY visit
- watch Wicked, Mary Poppins
- skate at Rockefeller and Bryant Park
- drink sake again!! lol.. Maru was a nice place

ciao!
