center of new york

finally, i am doing something worthwhile..going sightseeing in new york!!drove downtown to see this significant place(almost significant, to me!)..i know it is only a station, its a wall street station

then, i went to this trinity church...this church is not that amazing compared to the pictures i saw during art history..i can't believe this class taught me something..taking this class really made me enthusiatic about gothic churches..

as we walked further down the road,i saw glittering lights...huge christmas tree and beside it is the american flag..i give a thumb up for creativity!!

after that i was asked a question..the bull or the bear means that the market shares goes up...i really did not know that shares means bull or bear!!i took a guess but it was wrong...the correct answer is...the so-called significant bull!!!i wonder what is the connection though?bull= market share up=no connection!!

subsequently...i saw the statue of US first elected president...george washington!!!

lastly, i visited the site where the world trade center collapsed during sept 11...a very tragic event....but now everybody is regrouping and the site is currently under development..the construction is up...i heard rumours that there are some bones down below the earth which just send shivers down my spine...i will always remember this day.my dad told me that the wtc collapse and i thought he was joking...but when i looked at the tv, and that building collapsed.i knew that it was not a joke...that is the site..

*looking down and remembering the ones that were sacrificed and risked their lives to recover dead...my heart goes with you forever*

what a wonderful day...this is what i like best!!

getting to new york

this is really a tiring day..from dayton to new york!!!firstly,we took the taxi at 330am and reach dayton airport at around 530am...to our utmost despair, the flight got cancelled and we waited until 848pm to catch the flight...because our flight was not a direct flight, we had to make some transit stop..detroit airport!!!we nearly missed our flight but luckily this guy was so kind and inform the officers to let us in!!thank god...entering the plane was a whole new scenario, people stared at us like one kind..geezz!!we are ordinary people who almost missed the plane..that is not weird right?

*still no sleep except catching winks*

reaching la guardia airport(new york),our baggage got misplaced....so we just took a taxi to koko heng leong apartment...we were almost starving hence we took the train...gosh, new york is so big and scarry!!to me, all the streets looked the same, except for different shops!!the subways here is so confusing.....unlike the one back home!!i swear i will get lost here, definitely!!!then, we went to nyonya restaurant,at last malaysian restaurant!!!but the assam laksa is so bad...ko dongyeun ate with us too..next we went for another maze in the subway..another headsore!!let's do not talk about that...

afterwards we went to eat vietnam food...it was magnificent!!after that,koko heng leong picked up margaret and we went back to the apartment!!what a tiring day..city is not a good place to live in...try imagining bukit bintang except you multiply it by 50 times...that is what new york is!!!nevertheless, it is a good experience...at last city life again!!!

enchanted

at first i thought this movie will another kind of disney movie where the storyline will be simillar like all the disney movies we see but this one is really special.enchanted really exceed my expectations with a combinations of scenes from past Disney movie like Cinderella and Snow White..the synopsis of this story is when this this princess falls down from Andalusia into the streets of New York and meet the man of her dreams...
from this movie, i learned a valuable lesson...that love is not complicating at all...it is so easy that we make it sound so complex.if only everyone is like a shining star, waiting to find a place in someone arms and then sparkle in the heavens together for eternity..this is the true meaning of happily ever after...after watching this movie,i believe that fairytales do come true for everyone and we will all find our special someone one day soon...i know it may sound cheesy but at least i have that enchanted spirit within me..

snow experience

1st snow experience
this might not be your first time but to me it is my first time!!!yup, you are right..snow!!it was hard to wake up in the morning(as usual) but with all my might, I carried myself up and prepared myself. then had breakfast downstairs....somehow I was a bit later than usual!!
I glazed outside and saw frosted snow everywhere...woohoo!!!the weather forecast was quite accurate...but i asked the question..isnt it too early for snow??perhaps global warming do affect the climate.everywhere was icy white!!!but I felt that this is not the time of the season to be making snowman and having snow ball fight!! The time will come, definitely!!!

This is what my hall look like..pretty amazing don’t you think??it will definitely set the mood for christmas with that wonderful tree beside it!!!

While walking to class...I made a few stops to take photographs!!!well not actually taken by me...its actually cara's camera!!!;)

Today valuable lesson….next semester will be a LONG LONG semester..with freezy, chilly weather!!! And I have 8am class which makes it even worse…braving through the snow storm for class will be my most challenging and difficult task...waking up is a different matter altogether...

SnoW...SnoW & MoRE SnoW...

weather forecast for tomorrow??sUnNy...

snow ball

somehow i didnt know about snow ball until the day i came back from joel's place...i didnt have shoes or tie, i didnt iron my clothes..i practicaly had nothing done!!luckily,i brought hair gel since my hair is super long now!!i really need to cut it though...its getting on my nerves!!coincidently, Wen had to go to Dayton mall to accompany her sister for something...i decided to ask her to buy me leather shoes.all went as i planned but you will never know what lies beneath fate..Wen returned buying the wrong size, when i wore the shoe, it looked as though i am MacDonald wearing the big shoe..but i had no choice!!

i also missed watching the Enchanted with Dongyeun and friends because i had to STUDY!!yea, so called study, writing 2 papers means studying to me...finals is one week to go and i am unprepared!!

luckily, my dearest sister and a.k.a fashion critic was going to work at alexander and so she stopped by to give me some comments/criticism..as usual she got angry with my half of the room..practically everything she saw was bad for her eye..i endured all her scolding but got away with a tidy bed and room..she returned from work and she began her expertise with her dress sense...finally, i was ready for the ball and she returned back to her apartment!!

the snow ball was a blast..below are some pictures
