Trip To New York City (1)

Okay so I just came back to Singapore after my trip to New York! Well, I only went there for approx. 4-5 days but the trip gave me great exposure to New York's culture etc. Anyway we took a Singapore Airlines flight to Frankfurt, then to New York. So travelling was about 24 hours! It was so tiring but lucky we sat B class so the seat was spacious and super comfortable. I think it's of pivotal importance that the journey is comfortable as the duration of the flights are long, and sleep is important! So below is a picture of my brother and I at Terminal 3! The airport was filled with angry birds which was part of the Christmas  decorations and they were so cute!

 Then after we cleared Singapore immigrations, there was a playground in the departure hall. So I brought out the inner child in me and accompanied my brother up the playground. Call me childish, I don't care. Because it was so so fun to slide down the slide esp.

  And then, FINALLY. After an arduous plane ride of about 12 hours from SG to Frankfurt and 7 hours from Frankfurt to New York, we arrived at New York! So we changed and headed to Chinatown to grab our lunch. Due to jetlag, we were all too tired to travel anywhere so we went home after our lunch and slept!

At the subway station!

So the next day, Day 2, we headed to Central Park to take a walk and look at the scenery and just explore the place! It was just like any other park, just that it is super huge! Saw many people walking their dogs, running, cycling, etc. We went to the outdoor skating rink too! It was my virgin trip to an outdoor ice rink and it was not so awesome, because I didn't get to bring my ice skates there :( We had to rent the skates and there was no grip cos' the blades were too blunt. It was also super crowded there and there were two areas that were cordoned off for private lessons. So the space on the rink was quite limited and there was a big crowd as it was a weekend. Didn't really enjoy myself.

Quite candid I figure ~

Candid Shot #2

Guess it's normal to take a self photo right? LEGIT FOR GIRLS.

Just me trying to act like a professional photographer

 I thought that the photo above looked quite glamorous! Cos' of the silhouette in the background and the magnet that says ' New York '

My father HAHA

 My father said I took this photo with a slipshod attitude. After that, when he was viewing the pictures, he complimented me for taking this photo, saying that the background captured the scenery and that this photo is perfect. Ironic much? HAHA.

Me with Spongebob ice cream!

 So I got this spongebob ice cream for 3US$! Expensive and not worth the money :( Yes, it looks cute. But it tastes HORRIBLE. The yellow portion is lemon flavored and it totally tasted like cough medicine. The eyes tasted nice though! Cos' they were made of gum :) So, don't ever judge a book by it's cover. Looks cute, but horrible taste.

My very glam spongebob ice cream

IMAGINE

Someone placed a rose in the middle and to be honest, it kind of enhanced the overall look and made it look better on pictures!

The Dakota #1

The Dakota #2

The Dakota #3

So a short summary of The Dakota. It is an apartment that is located just a street away from the Central Park and the subway is just outside. So it makes things very convenient for those leaving in this apartment. Many famous people lived at The Dakota. People like John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Judy Garland, and Connie Chung. The apartments here range from 2.8million to 7.6million! I'm guess that this figure is peanuts to the super rich. Okay I'm tired and done updating part(1) ~ Stay tuned for part (2) :D
