This was the first time in my life that i had a real authentic thanksgiving dinner and it was really awesome. I think that when i go back to singapore, i will want to have thanksgiving dinner on a yearly basis. Apparently, thanksgiving is a very big thing here is the US and every year during thanksgiving week, there will be holidays in school and work so that people can travel back to their homes. Thanksgiving is actually a day when u stop what u are doing in life and give thanks to those around u.
Actually i felt realli bad coz i was the one who asked auntie whether her family has the habit of celebrating thanksgiving with turkey and stuff. Then she said that sometimes they do and if we wan to have dinner together she will cook a bigger turkey for all of us. So, i was very excited and i told her that i realli want to learn how to bake a turkey so that i can actually bake it for my family. However, she baked it with her family the night before till like 4 am. It takes like 6 hours to bake the turkey and every 30 mins u need to pour the sauce over the turkey. In short its realli tideous to bake the turkey.
Im realli thankful to Kookkik's uncle's family. They have been so nice to host and provide us with a roof over our heads. And they even went the extra mile to prepare such a sumptous thanksgiving dinner for us. I realli like their family as they give me the love anf family warmth which i had missed so much.
Preparing for the dinner...
OOOOO Look at the food... We had mashed potatoe with home made sauce, stuffings (this was the best!), turkey, cranberry sauce to put on the turkey (the cranberry realli taste good with the turkey), some vegetable, sweet potato, ham, as well as pecan pie.
Auntie and Kashain. Kashain is auntie's younger son. He's 28 this year and he's a doctor specializing in chiropractice. Hee i think he's realli cute and very intelligent. He sat beside me during the dinner (heee muz be he thought i was cute too... hahahaha) and we chatted alot.
Ed and uncle. Ed is 30 tis year and he is uncle's eldest son. He's a park ranger.
When the store opened the door, Joy and I were literally pushed in. Its like the people behind juz pushed their way as if the clothes were free or what la...
After shoppin at H&M, we separated and KK joined Jay and Ben while me and Joy shopped together. I bought some clothes but i didnt buy as much as i expect i would buy =) At bout 3pm me and Joy were totally drained. The shoppin bags were so heavy so we decided to go home to put down the stuff and rest. So, we headed home and took a nap. At nite, auntie cooked dinner for us. After dinner, we went to Empire State. It is a buiding which is like 106 storeys high and u pay to go up and look at the whole of Europe. It was sooo beautiful BUT waaaayy too cold. At ground level it was already like 0 degree celcius so when we were up there, u can imagine how cold it is.
Me almost frozen to death...
Nice skyline view of the New York City... The city that never sleeps...

After Empire state, Joy, Kookkik and I met Kashain and AJ (Kashain's doctor friend who came to visit him from upstate New York) to go to a bar cum club to drink. I had alot alot alot of fun that night. Ha was pretty drunk coz we drank so much! I chatted and danced with Kashain the whole night... Hee.
