To my loved ones






Dear family of Os and Bs and chickens (real or otherwise),
I took a ferry around Manhattan Island today. It really reminded of you guys when we were in SF and we took the ferry under Golden Gate Bridge. I really miss you guys and when I was on the ferry, I really wished you guys were here with me.
New York is hectic. I think I am still somewhat jet lagged because I get tired easily... And my feet hurth cos I didnt bring sneakers/ track shoes. DANG.
The apartment is kinda crummy but what do you expect for USD120 a night? And well it IS near Times Square qand hence estremely convenient and safe since there are always tourists around.
I think we will be going to eat Singaporean/ Malaysian food in Chinatown tomorrow cos I am craving... I saw someone eating yam basket...YUM..i know everyone else but mum and me hates yam but..yah YAM!!! It looked soo good..I kept checking it out..(it was at a nearby table).
I went to MOMA and saw Van Gogh's Starry Night thingie..its really quite beautiful...although I do hate modern art in general. I think its a bunch of crap. But Van Gogh's picture was nice..didnt like Picasso though.
I also saw Trump tower, Rockefeller, Brooklyn Bridge etc. I haven't gone to Empire State Building yet.. akan Datang. The Met and the Guggenheim ( i bet i spelt it wrong) will also be soon...I walked into SAKS 5th Ave. ITS SO EXPENSIVE. There are like no common brands there....only upmarket ones. I could only walk around and look. NY has a lot of cheap clothes too though...not too great quality but decent design. Its cheap...much cheaper than SF or Berkeley. There are little stalls selling fake branded bags for USD5...and there are a lot of sequin bags on sale here. Small evening ones and larger day usage ones..interested?
Ok, I'm signing off now. gotta sleep and recuperate.
Lotsa luv
