Yaay! i finally managed to get into my silly blog! Anyway, i found out that the Cornell Club (more on this later) has a computor room with internet access and all! Which is why, i, the internet freak, am here blogging. Oh man, Manhatten shopping is amazing! I internet sms-ed Beeboo just now to tell her if Weizhi, herself and i were here together shopping, we'd be more than unusually bankrupt, in oh about 10 minutes! Luckily, my parents - yes that's what they're here for - are with me! haha
The plane ride was interminably long - especially coz every 2 seconds i was sniffling and blowing my nose. It was terrible! Hugged Jere
mike(wishing it was the real thing) the entire way and watched about 6 movies. Ate like a pig - airline food isn't that bad what. Landed around 7 New York time and had my first encounter with one of the psychotic "New York Cab drivers".
Arrived at the Cornell Club (isn't it great that they have their own hotel/club?! Its got everything..a gym, restaurant, etc ect!) last night around 9. And i was once again reaquainted with my one true love - American Television. Granted most of the programmes are re-runs or crap, there's always something on! Over a hundred channels, its simply like putting a kid in a candy store! Or me in a clothes shop! My parents went for dinner while i sloshed around my room - we got these rooms that are sort of in a private wing i.e. a door opens and then there are 2 rooms, 1 to the right(mine) and one to the left(my parents!) - and they brought me back sushi. yum! Lay around in bed (of course after i bathed!) and ate sushi and watched Celebrity Poker Showdown. Fell asleep(of course after i had brushed my teeth!) soon after - dammit, i wonder who won... Then today went to the Met.(the metropolitan museum of art)- interesting place if u're into art and all that - had a quaint lunch there, and then to Bloomingdale's for shopping! Never seen so many jeans in one room before. Coach, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, DKNY etc etc everywhere you turn - its a girl's paradise!! Then off to this nice little pastry shop called Payard's for tea (with my father, one never hopes to get thin) and then my mom decided her heels were killing her and we went back to the hotel for her to change shoes. Fell asleep once i threw myself on my bed and then it was time for dinner. Went to the Osyter bar at the New York Grand Central Station(the place where a lot of movies scenes are shot!). Later, my dad wants to go to the Comedy Club.
All in all, Manhatten's shaping out quite nicely. Leaving for Ithaca on Sunday...Cornell awaits!
