can't eat you anymore...

My family should remember very clearly what happened to me the last time I had Durian when I was in Singapore in January. It was a Tuesday, and I packed myself with food from dawn to dusk. And even after that, I topped it off with pieces of Durian. Bloating like an explosive balloon, I suggested that my mom, younger brother and me to go Yishun driving range for some golf practice to digest the food. And then the drama begin..............i had to stop my mom halfway on the highway and even before the car could come to a halt, i push the door open and puke everything out! :( hellllla nostalgic. haha

today, i had some good Vietnamese food, and i topped it off with the fruit again. Just 1 piece, yet, that familiar sensation returned. That acidic saliva was nasty. i had to eat po chi waun. luckily, nothing drastic happened, i end up sleeping for 4 hours. and right now, i'm just getting really tired. I think i need to hit the hay......tomorrow is Sunday, i'll go jog my bridge. :P

Yes! Fresh clothes!!

Today, i finally did my laundry. My New York experience with a laundromat. I have been dreading to do my laundry because I didn't think I have the capabilities to operate a washing machine, other than the ones in San Francisco. HAHA I even thought of doing the drop off service where you pay more and have someone else do your chore. Nahz, i don't have that kind of extra money. Desperate for fresh clothes and towels, i conquered my fears and haul my bags down 1 1/2 blocks. Guess what? I spent $7 in the end (Wash +Dry) argh! I didn't check for the smaller machines and put all the dirty clothes into a $4.50 machine! When the clothes were spinning, then i realise...there is actually a $3 machine. But anyways, i had to clean my bedsheets too, so it wasn't that bad. i knew i'm going to mess up somewhere....like i always do whenever i go somewhere new. I really encountered some embarrassing moments since i arrived, quite inconvenient to share it in public. :P

Almost 3 weeks into working life. LOVE IT! no stress or homework. Then again, i'm just interning, so there aren't huge responsibilities on my inexperience shoulders. :)

It is going to be weekend. I am looking forward to the weekends. Time to relax, hangout with friends and just be lazy. :)I'll be checking out the MOMA here, some boutique, maybe watch an independent film and choose another bridge to run across. one of my aims here is to run across all the bridges that connects Manhattan Island. I've done Williamsburg, maybe i'll do Manhattan or George Washington or Brooklyn. lets see what adventures this weekend will bring.

after 1st week of work....

I didn't get the chance to blog as I started my internship, know why? working life is seriously tiring! haha i didn't realise it, i guess school is much preferred, at least we can choose our schedule and maybe register for afternoon classes to get more sleep.

I got transferred after the 1st day from showroom to production. Showroom internship was a disaster, not only did i not get to do anything, i didn't learn alot either! I'm glad for the transfer. Production is fun, i get to run errands to different contractors and cutting places and observe the inside-out of making clothings. It felt like living in a live soap opera, the tension between different departments and the phone calls. I might end up liking production more than design, who knows?

Today, I went to Theodore Roosevelt's birthplace in Union Square in New York. He is the 26th president of USA. Not many people know that his birthplace is here. It was an intense 2 hours history lesson. I really need to read A people's history of USA. so much to learn!!

My brother Yong Ming is coming to visit me next week! I've already got many places in mind to bring him. It is going to be exciting!! A tourist bring a tourist around. :)

I am in New York City!

When i was on my flight from Denver to LaGuardia Airport, I felt that this was it! I'm finally going to New York City and start my internship.............and explore one exciting/happening city~

I've settle down in my new place. Weather here is as humid and hot as Singapore. I knew it is going to be like that....at least it wasn't that bad compared to Milen or Shanghai. hehehe

I'm quite tired and HOT and can't breathe very well now. too stuffy. Think i'm off to bed soon. Will blog more tomorrow.

I MOVED!

YES!!! I moved out of my apartment that i've been staying ever since i got here. New environment, new surroundings, new neighbours, can't wait!!!! BUT! i haven't found a place to stay yet. Will do that when i come back from my internship. :) Moving house is such a hassle. It wasn't that bad when i moved from Iowa City to San Francisco. I didn't have much stuff. But this time, i feel like i'm moving a whole house! Luckily Peter, being the kind hearted person he is, helped me a lot. I'm so grateful to him, especially allowing me to treat his garage like public storage. :) Thanks!

I'm flying off tomorrow at 7:40am. I still need to weigh my luggage.....make sure i don't over-bring things. I also need a shower badly. been moving things from 7:30am-9pm. I don't know why, be suddenly when i stopped moving my things and relaxing, my whole body starts to itch so bad.........:P

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!! New York City!! here i come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WeeeWweeeee~~
