i'm in new york!! staying at auntie irene's house, a friend of yi ma's. and it's been great! she cooks the food that my brother and i have been missing for like ever! curry, achar, some shrimp thingy and so much more! oooh! chrysanthemum tea! so good.
the city has been great tooooo! tuesday morning we arrived, my bro, nicholas and i. uncle david picked us up and went over to his place. nick and us parted ways. and i tried to get something together with jeff. for lunch uncle david brought us to this huge dim sum place. which was decent. their carrot cake was pretty crappy. it was like... it needs more radish/white carrots and less of the starch stuff that holds it together. the rest was good though!
later in the afternoon, my brother and i met up with jeff and we pretty much just walked around manhatten because we didn't plan out anything to do there. we visited fao schwartz.. with the GIANT piano! only i was dissapointed to see that the black keys made no sound. -.-
but it was still cool overall.
we walked forever in central park. it was beautiful. every direction you look, trees!! and buildings behind them... but it was gorgeous none the less.
wednesday we met up with nick and walked a ton again. we went to a noodle house in chinatown, walked to soho, went into a random art gallery, walked to greenwich village, saw a cheap jewelry store and bought 2 pairs of earrings for 99 cents each! (excluding tax) then went home for dinner.
yesterday we met up with jeff and nick. well, i woke up late, by an hour or so. panicked i woke my brother up. he on the other hand was like.. eh.. ok.
we finally got out onto a subway ride for a little more than an hour and waited for jeff at grand central. the original plan was to meet nick at the ticket office at 9.45. but it was like 11.30. so, i told nick to buy his tix first. jeff came and we decided to go see if there were anymoer student rush tix available and.. there still were! bought tickets and went to lunch at a thai place that had salmon curry! what? yes, you heard right, salmon curry! :D it was good. with some green tea ice cream. totally worth the money.
then we walked to central park to row a boat.. with my flippy floppies! that was a ton of fun too. we conquered an island.. but not really. :P after boating around we went in search of the museum of natural history! but we ended up navigating our way through central park that we ended with the metropolitan art museum, which was good too! :P but we also got chased out during closing time ):
then we had dinner on st mark's street and caught the train back uptown for promises promises! except i was let down that i didn't get to see kristen chenoweth live! but her understudy was great too... just that it would've been so awesome to see her live!! and sean hayes was in it too! :D
the show ended at 10.40ish and jeff, my bro and i went for the sub, parting ways with nick.. for who knows how long. maybe the next when i'm singapore we might meet up. i got home around midnight. and was pooped.
today was ok. walked and subbed around for 3 hours figuring out my way to my grand uncle's place... zzz. finally got to their place in flushing at 5 and had dinner and left around 7. came back to auntie irene's and i just had a second dinner.. so much food since i've gotten here! i have a food baby!
i'm going to bed soon.. because i'm falling into a food coma. and i'm exhausted from walking all day.
cheerio!

can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are shooting stars? / Saturday, May 15, 2010
i 've gotten almost all my grades in and... they're quite demotivating. especially psych. wth. i don't know anymore. i can do is have trust. i was thinking... is God trying to show me that being a doctor is the way? or do i need to push myself harder? because, well, i tried at the beginning of this semester to be super focused and stuff, but that all landed me in headaches. way to make me give you complete trust God. i have no clue what my future holds for me, except you.

psych final / Monday, May 10, 2010
ugh.. i hate my psych class for one reason and one reason only:
no matter how hard i study, i still get the same exam results.
i studied for at least 8 hours and i still got in the 70s. what is this???
crazy i tell you.
other than that, i quite enjoyed psych.

tonight was pretty awesome. got some bubble tea (papaya flavour) with jeff, xiaofeng, alex and sam at umall. then went din din at asiana house. we all got the sukiyaka??? soup bowl, but each with different noodles. lol
then... we watched KICK ASS! at the roxy! it was epic. except masha decided to be the loner and watch date night with a couple other loner couples. -_____________-
earlier today was ok. it was my last day of work for the semester and i got to cut open two mice! i pretty much did my own gross disection of it. and practice cardiac puncture and BAL. after i was like.. hmm.. wonder what their bellies are like...
after work, went lunching at the grundle. sat with this girl who i sorta know, but not really? she lives on my floor and we say high to each other, but i don't know her name!! maybe it starts with a K? like kaylee? i really don't know.
i need to pack.. i really hope natalie gives me her key to the lock before she leaves. so that i can put at least another box in there. i'm really sleeepy. but kick ass blew my mind. every moment was brilliant. just when you think that you know what's going on, you really don't! the soundtrack is pretty awesome tooo. i feel like sitting next to jeff made me laugh more than i probably would've. always. with our random moments. (:
i'm sleepy. and.. i need to pack tomorrow. lol.
cheerio!
