Black Friday!!

It's Black Friday; A day where advent shoppers like me go crazy! Hahaha but well i wasnt as bad as Jay, Jill and Bens. These 3 crazy people went to Apple to queue the night b4. Haha it was so funni coz they thought that there would be big discount so they were at apple at 12 midnight. End up they didnt buy anything at all. After that they went to queue at Best Buy, an electric appliance store. There were like 100 pplin queue at that time la! End up they nearly froze to death. For me, Joy, Kookkik and Arm, we woke up at bout 330am and set off bout 5am. We reached H&M at 545am and there were some ppl queuing the store already.

In the trai...


Outside H&M at 6am. H&M is alittle like Zara juz tt it is cheaper. They have 25% off all merchandise!!

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.

At the train station waiting for the train.

Me almost frozen to death...

Nice skyline view of the New York City... The city that never sleeps...

Group Photo. Joy wandered off so she wasnt in this pic. The Ben and Jay were too tired so they didnt come.

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.

Authentic Thanksgiving Dinner

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.

My food!!

Me all satisfied with my food...

Statue of Liberty

Statue of Liberty! Whao i cant believe that i actually went there. Hee have been listening and seeing it on television and shows since i was young and now, i can proudly say that i have been there! It was realli beautiful... The view was splendid =)

Thanksgiving Macy's Parade

Firstly, let me wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving (Hee i know this is super late but then this blog was supposed to be written back then so juz take it tat i wrote it that day.) Oh my god i couldnt believe that i actually woke up sooo early to go to this super Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. And i cant believe there were sooo many other stupid people like me who actually woke up early to go to the parade. I think half the population of New York was there la. There were like SO MANY people! We woke up like around 5 plus in the morning and manage to get there around 8am. The parade starts at 9am but there were already alot of people queuing so as to get a good spot to see the parade better. This parade is something like Spore's Chingay Festival. I realli think it wasnt anything too fantastic. Juz alot of balloons and bands parading the street for like an hour plus.

Me and Joy

Me and Joy amidst the crowd. We were trying very hard to get out but we were basically stuck and sandwiched. We couldnt even move.

Just look at the amount of people

Im so stuck!!

There were alot alot of police that day to control and manage the crowd. I always have this something for policemen... I juz think they look damn hot in their uniforms..

And so, i took a shot wif a policeman!!!

United Nations + Metropolitan Museum of Art + Central Park + Fifth Ave

Today we woke up early and went to so many places =) Firstly, we went to United Nations. Well nothing much juz look at some pictures and sculptures. Group photo using timer! Starting from me anti clockwise: Me, Joy, Arm, Ben, Kookkik, Jill and Jay.

United Nations:

Me with United Nations as background:

Me and Joy. Hee its so small i think most people cant see me la...

Jay, kookkik and Ben:

United Nations! With all the flags. Pretty similar to the one i went to in europe (shd be switzerland if i didnt rem it wrongly).

Me holding the globe outside UN =)

Beautiful painting inside UN. There's a story relating to this painting sayin that it actually links all the way to the ocean. Dunno how to explain. Haha..

My street!! Im born in 1986 so i was very happy to see my street while walking to the museum. Hee.. Easily satisfied hor.

Outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is one of the most famous museum in NYC.

Me and Joy posting in front of this very beautiful christmas tree.

See how detailed it is... I think SueAnn would love this tree.. With all the christian like figures... Hee

Inside the museum. This is one of the King's bed in the past. I tot it was realli beautiful. But i cant imagine fallin off from it *BUMB* Haha

After viewing the museum we had clam chowder soup and hotdog buns outside the museum, sitting on the steps. So kelian hor!! But the soup was very nice!

We then walked to a very beautiful park: Central Park. We took a slow stroll down the park, looking at people jogging or taking a stroll too. I really admire some people. Its like so cold yet they can just wear one tshirt or even a singlet and jog. Sibei power lor... If me i doubt i can even walk la... Frozen...

Me and my nice big meaty butt infront of a nice pinky tree!! Haha

Look at how romantic Arm and Ben are... So now u know what happened in this 4 month they were stayin together in the same room...

Kookkik, Me and Jay

Artistic Picture... (bcoz IM IN the pic & nt only bcoz of the background hor.. =P)

I like how the dark triangular green tree contrast with the round light tree. I can totally imagine a black skinny person standing infront of a white plump person! Hahaha...

I 3 couples taking wedding shots there at central park. Apparently it is very common coz central park has very scenic view. So i took a sneak shot of this couple. The poor bride muz be freezing. And its funni how the bridesmate wear their gown with jackets. Dun match la!

This is the most popular part of the park; the fountain. So, me and Jill decided to take a romantic shot...

At nite, we went to fifth avenue for some shopping. It was veri nice... Veri nice to shop! Haha but then i didnt buy much yet coz im conserving for black friday! (for those who dunno, black fridday is the day after thanksgiving where they will be major discounts and shops open as early as 4am, and retarded people start queuing as early as the night b4) Ha sounds like Donut Factory to me...

Oh we also went to Madison square garden where the most major events are held at. I dun see anything fancy about it but everyone says that it is very grand blablabla....

Me and my bodyguards... U know... When u are too popular and pretty.... HAHAHA (OK juz kidding. Dun leave tags at my chatbox sayin i thick-skinned).

And after a long long day of walking... On the subway going home...
