I (HEART) NY!

I LOVE NEW YORK!

The towering skyscrapers, the stinky streets, the noise, the incessant flow of people and traffic… whee!!!

After hearing so much and seeing so much about New York on TV, it was such a feast to finally get to see and experience New York for myself. :)

Of course there was the obligatory sightseeing… but first - SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!

*AIEEEEeeeee!* *Shoves my way into Abercrombie & Fitch*

After stomping on my credit card to put out the flames, I made my way out of A&F to do alittle sightseeing around town.

As I was heading out the entrance, what do I spy with my little eye…?

A HUNKALOADOFBURINGLURVE!

*DROOL* *NOSEBLEED*



He insisted on going home with me and wanted to marry me, you know? Said I was the most beautiful woman he has ever met. I felt it wasn’t fair for him.. to leave his family and all… Anyway… I figured Angie would try to snatch him away from me even before I got off the airplane, so I decided to leave him there.

Sigh. Yeah RIGHT.

Let me fantasize abit, can? ;p

Anyway Whey Li and myself headed off to Rockerfella Centre and then to Times Square.

Times Square was amazing! It was such a rush to be where all the major networks broadcast from. NBC, CBS, NASDAQ, MTV… cool or waaat.

I had my dream come true when I stood outside MTV’s TRL studio! You know, where all the people who cant make it into the studio stand outside and yell? Well, it was just so cool for me to stand there and look up the studio’s window… hee. Sucker me.

Day Two’s plan was to visit Lady Liberty, have a peek at Ground Zero and view the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings. I shall let the pictures do the talking.

On my last morning I headed out to Central Park (No, I didn't find Central Perk.. ;p) then rushed to do all my last minute shopping. You should have seen me... running from shop to shop. I was that mad Chinese woman, arms full of shopping bags dashing across the roads and zooming from store to store.

And now, I'm flat... and broke.

(LAME!)

;p

Pixxies!

Shopping for Birkies in Frankfurt.

Trump Tower! Now where's that man with the bad comb over....

LIVE! From Radio City Music Hall....!

At Rockerfella Centre.

Amazing, colourful Times Square!

Times Square - Land of Television Networks :)

MTV TRL! *AHHH!!!!* Iwas happily walking along when I saw the sign "Foot Locker". I screeched to a halt, looked across and saw "MTV" and I was screaming "YAYY!!! I FOUND IT!" heeheehee.

Inside the massive Toys R Us at Times Square

Geri Loves NY!

And cute yellow cabs too! :)


M&M World.

.

Goofing around in the M&M store and doing the Pointy Saturday Night Fever Dance with the Blue M&M. It's Obvious I didnt dare point THAT high... haha.. Paiseh leh!

Shopping Conquests from Abercrombie! (Oh and one of my FOUR Longchamp bags I bought in Frankfurt. Don't. Just Don't ask...)

Yayy! The Statue of Liberty!

NY Skyline. I kept wondering as I stood there, how it would have looked that fateful September morning, to see two buildings tumble down from where I stood. *shiver*

Me and Lady Liberty. :) Aren't the little Japanese girls SO cute??!

She's beautiful... against the backdrop of a cloudless sky...

Ferry Ride back to NY. In the words of my colleague, "Look! You're naked in NY!" Rigghhtt...


Bull Run! The infamous bull sculpture in Wall Street.

.

Err.. I cant find anything in my bag either!

Ground Zero. It's strange you know..? How a site of such great tragedy has so quickly become a tourist spot.

The Empire State Building! Honestly... we couldnt recognise it. I had to try and visualise the building King Kong was hanging from and I was like.. "yeah.. this is the one.";p

Chrysler Building - so often confused with the Empire State Building. Just coz its so much prettier. :)

Walking through Central Park on a Sunday morning, listening to a lone saxaphonist play jazz tunes... It's impossible to describe how nice it was. :) And it really is such a lovely, much-needed oasis of greenery in the middle of a crazy concrete jungle...


All the famous streets of NY! Now if I can only find the sign board for Sesame Street.... ;p


Peace to America! And Peace to Our World :)
