anyways..i just remembered..
i saw this guy while walking to central park on one of the days..

u recognise him??
i was thinking wow..this guy's eyes r really blue..then i remembered!..he's ed!!! the guy on tv with dam blue eyes and always wearing a blue sweater..who owns a bowling alley!! ed!!!

i would have taken a photo of him if:
1) he wasn't walking so fast in the opposite direction
2) he wasn't talking on the phone
3) my brain worked a bit faster to register his face!!!!

memorial day wkend indeed...

it was a memorial wkend...did a lot of things that i wouldn't have imagined..ended up freaking tired after 3 days
the happiest moment? when i found this bball cage where teams were playing..dam cool!
the saddest moment? when i accidentally deleted all my photos in my sd card..=(
the craziest moment? when we played mj through the night, having to wake up like 5 hrs later..

hahaha all in all..it was a good wkend..each row of photos show a day of events...we actually went cycling on the west coast..amazing right?
anyway..here's thanks to sy & taike...
n this is my fave pic of them...=)

now..i'm all hyped up for columbus, ohio this wkend and mingli coming next wk!! woooohooooo!!!!

random pics of nyc......=)

it's a dandelion!! heh..heh ho so pretty!
it's really very random

i totally thought that there wasn't a disney store in nyc
how would that be possible man right??
it's not true!!! guess what i found!!


i just had to u know...........=)

bbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...是冷的

yes...even the polar bear wants to hide under the duvet some times..

the sun was nice and comforting in central park..

until it set.....and went away..*sobsob*

hahahahahaa....

oh what a day!

a random trip to town brought me to the middle of freedom of dance parade!
reminds me of the pride parade the last time i came man...
this city rocks! i love the old old buildings at the east and west villages...super cooool...

now..my 收获!!

and ming...this is for u...

guess where??

did i ever mention that i end work at 4pm?
hurhurhur..today we tried working slightly later and got "chased out"
dam weird..but since most of the staff commute long hours..i suppose i can see why..

my feet were killing me...bit by bit..so i HAD to go get shoes..
look what i got!!!
somehow..getting 1 pair of shoes didn't quite connect with me
esp since u get additional discount from being a visitor to the country...why not right??
waiting for laundry to be done.....long long affair......................................................
i love that there's friends on tv at almost any time...=)

beautiful day in nyc...yumz yakitori!

lost? 失去的? perdu? なくした? zgubljen?

that was my first reaction seeing that once again, some tourists asked me for directions today..(again..i knew!!!). Right before that, they had stopped to ask another guy and he just shrugged his shoulders - he happens to stay right in this building. At that point in time, it occurred to me that I'm not the only lost soul in this big big city (i'm a big big girl in a big big world..) Plus..i was watching tyra just now when I came back to change n it was about popular girls vs not popular girls...it's all just an ego trip man...

Maybe we're all just walking through time, looking for something that we can hold dear to our hearts..maybe we've already found those things but are just missing for a short period of time..or maybe we've all given up in everything...

It's really weird for me..I've always thought that I would be homesick here, given the experience in london (where i used to listen to 安静 in a little corner corner of my room and cry) but no..i'm really enjoying this strange big apple (used to be called the big onion..did u know that?). Maybe I just need to be alone for a while. I was so harrassed for the past few mths when I was home..that suddenly..I can focus on like 1 or 2 things at a time only and it's seriously calming..strange that i call this hectic city calming (2x pple have apologised to me today for walking too fast)

anyhoooooo...it's only the first day at NYID (very relaxing day)..5 wks will be gone in a flash..i'm enjoying life man

my somewhat first day in nyc...

it was a long way to the apt man...but here's the 1 bedroom after I settled in..
went grocery shopping..cleaned and did laundry! =)
and...there's cable here!!..woohoo...


let's see what i did today..loads of first for me on a beautiful sunday

• first time i cooked brunch in a ny apt... (although it left a smell that stayed for a while...so i went out and bought febrez)..
  first time i watched chicago in ny (shows lined up next are guys & girls and 9 to 5)
• first time i was asked directions in ny and i knew the way! (2x actually...hurhurhur)
• first time i had a magnolia cupcake (a bit sweet)
• first time i saw the naked cowboy in action
• first time i paid USD5 to do laundry...(my my..it really is ex in this city)

sunday night is always a time to relax and prepare for the week..wonder what that's going to be like..hopefully good......i'll see more of this city soon....time to get my dinner..thinking jap food tonight, just round the corner - settled for pizza in the end

bubye kc....halo nyc

well..it is the last day of the training week in kansas city..

we had half a day of computer class on data (yes ming..ur fave)

n after that...a beautiful day to explore!

thanks steve for the ride around town! it was blazing hot and i'm so glad for the car!

went to jazz & negro baseball museums..they have pride man..

i suppose every country had its own tough times and racism has always been a cause of many conflicts...including this one

we found a shopping area after that!! even though we were all parched from the crazy sun..it was almost 30 degrees today!! woah...felt like i was home...(without the humidity)

now..all packed and ready to gym and get on flight to nyc tmr morning..

stay tuned for more!..=)

another side to kansas city...

this has to be very american...i super loved it when walking down the very long boulevard..

well..i took a brave step out with a course mate of mine..it's brought another side of the city
the city that's not quiet and ulu...woohoo!!!
especially when we found the grocery store on main!!!..we were super ecstatic man...sad right?
now i have yummy yoghurt & fruits!
there's also people on the street!...hurhurhur...

check out my humble abode for the next 6 days!
after 12 hrs to frankfurt, 1.5hrs of waiting, 8.5hrs to ny, another 5hrs of waiting and lastly 3.5hrs to kansas city, you have no idea how happy i was to finally get to this room man..
dinner was room service but i was very very satisfied...=)


slept in till 10..but still dam tired
but i went to the gym!! *applaud*..not bad right??..good discipline, even for me...
i'm thinking of going again tmr morning..or latest tues mornin..
anyway..went out for a walk to find food and hopefully a grocery store
but nothing!! couldn't find anything but a regular CANDY STORE! haha
no la..it was in a shopping centre of sorts but no grocery store
hunt for oj shall start again tmr since they only open till 5 on sundays..
well tmr begins the real work..if only i can finish this ppt!!!..a.aarrrggghhh

what an interesting month....

hurhurhur..i don't think i've never felt so confused and troubled by so many things at 1 time ever! it's amazing that i'm still sane right now..or at least i feel that it's amazing. Visa, exams, packing, tax, accounts, work, swine flu, flying.....I can't imagine the lives of people who obsessed about things..they must feel like crap every day! (no offence)

honestly, i get my dose of stress relief by meeting my friends, laughing at nothing, volleyball and just listening to a wonderful track...it's a feeling of magic really..just to forget everything for a few moments and enjoy life. I've always thought of myself as very lucky..for everything..work, study, friends, family...hopefully i'll always be able to think that way.

shall be airborne in a few hours time....期待我的updates!!
