in the big apple

sorry for the lack of updates as i have been busy packing my luggage, checking out of my residence and preparing for my new york trip with hongjuan!

hongjuan and i survived the 12 hour bus ride from toronto to new york! so we are now safely in the big apple.

my hwa chong junior edwin kindly let us stay at his place in downtown new york, which is near new york university. hongjuan's good friend also drove us around the streets of new york. really grateful to them for orientating us.

i also managed to meet up with edwin (not the edwin mentioned earlier), my australian chinese friend who stayed in the same residence as me in toronto. we had a sumptuous dinner at a mexican restaurant and walked down times square at night.

enjoy the pictures!








m&m's at times square. three levels of exciting m&m's stuff
















hershey's at times square








ice skating at rockefeller centre. i must try ice skating too


merry x'mas everyone

there's so much to see and do in the big apple!

tim hortons... where i make a beeline for my fix of piping hot french vanilla to keep myself awake during lectures. french vanilla is awwww so nice







lunch was at a korean restaurant with my floormates from chestnut residence.


pork bone soup with a hint of spice... yum


kimchi! my roommate kelly and i devoured them all, leaving none for genevieve and yiling (because they don't fancy kimchi)








happy faces...
