so my eldest sis came to visit me in nice, warm ithaca (i'm not kidding) for the weekend.. and i must say, it was such a blessing and such fun.. =). i mean i've kinda reached a sad realization that the past few weekends consisted of rushing for projects, getting stressed over 4 prelims or something along the same vein.
but yeah, despite the fact that two prelims LOOM ahead early next week, i took time off this weekend to bring my sis for a tour around beautiful ithaca, and the weather gladly complied to bring about the most smashing outdoorsy weather one could hope for.. i mean, if ithaca was like this everyday, you wouldn't see me studying at all!
aniwez, it was fun to revisit favourite places like farmer's market, andrew d.white library, taste of thai lol.. i kinda see how matching my sis and her husband are.. with their fascination for technological gadgets (they tried to buy the i-robot, some floor-cleaning robot that set me off from an AI-perspective -_-), and also their liking for photography etc..
ok so aniwez, some comments. the heights has gone down the proverbial drain in my epicurean notions, after the nightmarish serving of disgustingly fatty beef. i mean, there's like chicken wings glistening in fat and there is just.. disgusting fat, the type that conjures up images of fat bastard in austin powers.. EWWWW.
farmer's market is so quaint, and is like the accidental tourist attraction. uber-cool. carriage house is delish but i quickly realized that eating brunch at 10.00am just means eating breakfast at 10.00am. -_- oh, and i love taste of thai's kai-kua.
gastronomy aside, buttermilk falls is on my list of places to explore once the weather goes warm again.. hiking anyone?
so yeah.. that was about it. stupid prelims and my conscience prevented me from continuing the journey with them to new york city, but i hope they have fun traipsing down 5th ave and watching altarboyz.. lol..
