3 days ago, my plane touched down at changi airport. after 24 hours of travelling across the globe, and 4 months of exchange, i arrived in Singapore.
the heat hit me immediately. when they announced the temperature on the plane, (30degrees celcius)- little buddy, her sister and i looked at each other. it was a 40 degree change from where we came from. canada is a cold place.
my dad and my cousin dan came to get me at the airport. dan was holding a card with my name and flight number on it, which was really cute! and my dad was wearing the tshirt i bought for him, which says 'my kid and my money go to mcmaster university' which was really cute too hahaha!
first thing we had was laksa, popiah, roti john and some kuehs. singaporean food yo! the heat was intense, i almost felt like i couldnt breathe. - no kidding!
ohmy, i'm back in singapore. school's starting next week. i need help dealing with reality. but i'm skipping the first day of school HAHA.
okay, so within the span of 4 months, i travelled from toronto to newyork and vice versa about..6 times. which makes 3 trips to newyork. haha! travelling time is about 10-12 hours each way. so i'm proud to say that i'm rather familiar with manhattan!
i love the museums! the metropolitan museum (MET) and the museum of natural history (where the night at the museum was filmed). we spent a day each in both. haha! and then there's times square, central park - to play with snow, and yummy food hunts! food hunting is one of my favourite things to do now. breakfast think of lunch, lunch think of dinner, dinner think of breakfast, and the cycle repeats itself. i also made it a point to visit the upper east side, and palace hotel because of gossip girl. palace hotel looks exactly the same as the show, from the outside! pretended i was gonna visit chuck bass. HAHA! one time i needed to pee, so i just randomly went into this super posh building, only to find out it's the waldorf astoria ( blair!). one of the poshest hotels ever! newyork is a cool place.
we did our countdown in nyc. but no, we didnt do the times square countdown. the number of people scared us off. one million as a rough estimate! so i bought the 2010 sunglasses and we sat in our funky hostel room counting down. hahaha! before that we had one of the best pizzas i've ever eaten, and yummy cake! newyork style. hoho!
my parents and cousins came over to newyork. we joined a tour and travelled around the eastern side of US and Canada, together with little buddy, her sister, and gurveen. it was a 8 day tour. pretty much touch and go - my dad calls it guerilla warfare HAHAHA. but it satisfied what we wanted to do, which was good! would be even better if it brought us to quebec city too!
there's so much to talk about! but i guess i'll stop here.
i'm having mosquito bites for the first time in 4 months! and i've been automatically waking up at 6am everyday. must be the jetlag!
ohohoh. i forgot that the 50cent coin existed in singapore. i was thinking two quarters! hahaha!
