This is a hell of a trip...but all good things have to come to an end. Have been travelling around New York quite abit and it really wasnt what I expect it to be. Nevertheless it was amazing. Times square, statue of Liberty, brooklyn bridge, grand central station, union square, wall street, former world trade centre site..there are just so much to see in this city! Went up the top of the Rockefeller Center two days ago and the view was breathtaking...you get the whole view of the manhattan city...empire state, central park, chrysler building...its just beautiful.

Did quite abit of shopping yesterday...spent so much at Abercrombie and Fitch. The levis jeans are really cheap though, I bought 2 pairs of 97 USD...thats like the price of one in singapore. hehe.

I had the opportunity to watch a movie in the states as I wanted to get the feel of it..its quite silly but I just wanted to waste 2 hrs of my travelling time on a movie. So we went to catch Transformers on Fourth of July. Its a nice movie but didnt quite live up to my expectation. For one, the storyline is kinda crap. The only thing that saved this movie is its incredible visual effects...even so sometimes there are so much going on you dont know who is fighting who. Most of the robots are redesigned beyond recognition so its quite disappointing for fans like me. The funny thing about watching a movie in the states is there are no predetermined seating arrangement. Something I totally cannot understand. People are allowed to take any seats they want...first come first serve. I thought its such a stupid way of resource allocation. In the end, due to our big group, and our late entrance, one of our frens have to sit on the aisle for the entire show. After the movie, there are actually people who stand outside the theater with survey forms asking you to fill up what you thought about the movie. Thats really cool...how come we dont get that in Singapore.

Had quite abit of bad luck during this trip...queue up for the treasure island show at vegas for an hr and it was cancelled due to strong wind, went to a famous club and it was closed for maintenance, wanted to go up the statue of liberty and the time passes were sold out ...and the worse, I dropped my camera on the floor and it totally died on me! Cant believe it..canon digital ixus 50....one drop and its dead..sucks man.

Ok, I think I am going out..today its arty farty day..going to metropolitan museum
