Super fun NYC





FINALLY, I SEE SHERLYN AGAIN AFTER SO DARN LONG........ picked her up at JFK airport on the 11th (sorry for not blogging though i had internet connection in NYC, was always too tired course by the time we were ready, its already 2am everynight)
staying at Big Apple Hostel was real cool, it was after all, my first hostel stay!!! right next to times square and broadway!!! 35 dollars a night per person isnt so cheap, but the deal its pretty good, wireless internet and clean facilities, though the staff attitudes might be better!!!

New york is like no other city i have seen before, super bright neon lights everywhere and streets oozing with people. The big apple is truly spectacular. i dont really enjoy the city life, neither did sherlyn. there was so so much to see that even 5 days wasnt sufficient, poor sherlyn was made by me to walk walk walk, especially after the blur girl dropped her 24 dollars one week unlimited pass, we had to walk more to save money, hai.........

new york was going through a bad spell of weather, and i having underestimating the weather, wore so little, (thought i still in the south) i eventually fell sick, but my normal treatment of tea plus 2 panadols did the trick.

i love walking through the neighbourhoods, especially east and greenwich, not the safest place (minus harlem) but the atmosphere great! and not forgetting SOHO, where its a cross btw singapore's orchard and thailand's flea market.....you can shop till you drop!!!

anyone going to MMOA should prepare at least half a day for it, its super big!!!! and i guess some of the exhibits also appeal to non art lovers. and central park, BIG BIG green in the middle of the city, not as big as the park in Phili but it has more different design to provide a great spot for the city people. got to check out the ramble, great small trekking area.

ground zero is an emotional place, i can remember the time when i was shouting to my mum back in JC when i was watching the events unfold on news channel. and so many years later, the memorial is in the midst of construction and yet the emotions its holding, never never dissipates

i and sherlyn really had a great time there, and i dun doubt the crazy rentals one have to pay if living in the city, but there are tons of stuff to save money and cheap eats, especially chinatown, though a bit cramped, you get good food.

hai, got to rush, i still got DC and niagaria falls coming up

Photos are in the my space album, accessible from my msn!!!
