Central Park

Who would actually goes to New York without going to the Central Park? It's a big no! Anyway, this will be a photo galore as I have nothing in my thinking box.

Llucky cz as we walk, we found the Apple store! An Apple with you, keeps the Android and Crackberry away from you! ><

I swear you'll never starve with carts like this everywhere. 

Central Park from afar!

You can actually ride these carts and tour Central Park, and it might sound romantic. Sure! Minus the fact that  it stink so bad and it's 90usd per cart for an hour. No thanks. 

Wake up every morning over looking Central Park, oh-so-envious.




Thanks to these people we get to sit after walking not even quarter of Central Park. 

And it's a long stretch, I guess NYC peeps is really generous. 

I went back to Central Park lake a week later, it's frozen! Well, only the surface tho.


Yes, M.U.S.T. camwhore. ><

And here's one place that makes me squeals in excitement!!

Can you tell where is this? Maybe you can't tell from this angle. 

What bout this?! Correct!! It's the Metropolitan Museum or better known as Mets steps in Gossip Girl. 

And of coz, I M.U.S.T.  have a photo there otherwise it doesn't count! XD

That's it for now. Tata.

Virgin Snow

What I can say for the title is that, my timing to New York is P.E.R.F.E.C.T. for snow. Apparently MomFi said this blizzard last happened was 10 (TEN) freaking years ago. Everybody, lets wow...... lol..

Anyway, it was a usual evening where I went shopping and a couple of hours later, I came outta Victoria's Secret, I saw this! 

I'm so excited just like a virgin having sex for the first time. LOL! I have experienced winter but not snow, so you can understand my excitement rite? Rite? Rite? XD

Herald Square, Manhattan. I was standing right in front of the largest Macy's and enjoying the snow. ><

I swear I'm tempted to stick my tongue out. kekeke..

Anyway, it did not stop snowing till the next morning. So, all the transportation is cancelled. It was literally ALL transportation is cancelled. Bus, subway, aircraft, etc. We have nothing to do and MomFi and UncleEddie got an off day due to blizzard. Yay!  

I went to da park and did this. XD 
It's fun cold. And yes, I purposely wrapped my head like an egg in case the snow is dirty. 

We also did a snowman!! Here, I would really want to thank UncleEddie for his great sacrifice. I'm so touched. *tears* 

Can you guess what is the snowman's eyes, nose and mouth? I'll give you 3 trying guess and you'd still be wrong. It was UncleEddie's glove. I insisted of using twigs and branches but he said its not pretty plus it looks dull so he tore his glove and bring the snowman to life. I swear that with my glove on, my fingers were numbed, I couldn't imagine his fingers. Reason why he did this? For me. I swear I wanted to tear on the spot. Yes, I'm that easily touched. haha..

Enough on the mushy stuff, look how thick is the snow!

Emo-boi said his sneakers and socks is wet. eeww.... haha.. And he only wore 3 layers(mostly cotton).He is the ultimate definition of walking ice man. haha..

We took a stroll by the streets before heading for lunch.

I think mainly we're torturing Emo-boi and CQ(above). Both of them wore very little but at least CQ's shoes were waterproof. 

And it's Korean for lunch!! Yums max!!This picha actually looks abit disgusting cz I ate halfway and thought of taking a picha. Half of the food was gone by then. Blame it on gluttony. haha..

That's it for today! Tata.

Empire State of Mine

Yes, Empire State of Mine, geddit geddit?! XD 
Anyway, this post is looonnngggggg due. Well, I'm suppose to post it last month but lotsa things came up. So it's busy busy busy.... 

Even for this post itself, I gotta spare my lunch time to do it. FML. 

And I proudly present to you Empire State Building. 

Once you entered the lobby, this is what you'll see. Don't forget to take a picha yea!! 

After that, you'll nicely go thru a security screening and pay an amount for 21usd to go to the 86th floor. (extra 20usd for 102nd floor view)

Once you step outta lift, you'll see this
Observation deck :DDDDD

Crowded! This just makes the photo taking even harder. 
Well, this is not it, there's an outdoor but it's freezing cold. Mind you, we're at the 86th floor and the wind is like blowing ice. Bbbrrrr~~~

I'm very cold intolerant. 

See what the mean by New York as the concrete jungle, no?

Here, a closer look. I swear there's no land that has no building on it.

Then you can see the Chrysler Building. It was the tallest building in the world during 1930. Not for long tho. 18 months later, Empire State Building boomed out with 102nd floor. 



This is the only picha of me in ESB. Cz it was freeezing cold. And I guess I still picked style compared to comfort in my last contemplation.

102nd floor is just up there!!! Maybe I can climb up there and save 20usd. lol..

Okay, maybe this is the 2nd picha of me in ESB. And even this is done with a mirror. Reason? 

THIS! 
Why? Cz Emo-Boi is so called phobia of birds. Yes, any kind of birds. Even those tiny ones that you can one step them to death. Oh well, nvm. Sigh..

After you took a lift down to chao, you will surely pass this. 

ESB miniature style!

LEGO'S style! 

And not to forget the Gorrila POOP! It's candy actually. ><

May I end this post with a proper picha of the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building as background? XD


Oh... How I miss NYC now. =( That's it for now. Tata

Wall Street

We were lucky enough to get off on the right station(subway) and came right exactly to the New York Stock Exchange! :D

Yup, the grand entrance. 

I'm not sure, might be the back door. 

And the visit to Wall Street will never be complete if you did not visit the Bull. So off we went searching for it. 

And we walk and walk... 

Can't see the damn bull but manage to spot another Trump Building on my left and Tiffany.Co on my right.

So with Emo-boi's iphone we walked down the street. And then up. 

To find this big Bull's balls! 

If you came all the way to see the bull, you gotta touch it rite?! LOL! Okay, enuf with the balls, let's put a face to that butt.

This is one the best shot that I can get as the bull is surrounded by tourist molesting him. The location is not very strategic as the Bull is located at the middle of the street. And to make things worst, the snow makes it a lil more dangerous. 

Anyway, after done molesting sightseeing, we walked back down. There's a church in Wall Street! 

And apparently the Queen Elizabeth II was there. okay, everybody lets wooooo~~

That's it for Wall Street.
