Found this quote on TV Mobile very meaningful...


" Conflict is like Cancer ... Early Detection INCREASES the Possibilty of a HEALTHY Outcome "


Ever since I came back from New York and Frankfurt a week ago, I have been battling with my body biological clock. I simply could not adapt to the timing back here in Singapore. For the past few nights, I have not had a peaceful and uninterrupted sleep. I was so tired that I turned in at around 11 pm but somehow, I would be wide awake at around 4 am. And I would sleep like a baby for hours in the afternoon. That continued for days. It's really a torture.

Fortunately, I have been able to sleep well for the past 2 nights. So I guess I am more or less back to my normal routine :D

Speaking of New Year, I was in the air on my way to US and arrived New York in the evening where I had my New Year dinner with my fellow colleagues...Complimentary from my company. Fun and Laughter filled the night with food and booze flowing freely like no tomorrow. Wahahaha...a bit exaggerating here but it's something like that.

Times Square on the 2nd January 2009

Did not really explore the city much this time as I was here less than a week ago. I have already seen my Big Christmas Tree @ Rockefellar. I have bought what I wanted to buy. I have already been to where I wanted to go. Thus this time I did not go far and just wondered around the hotel area. The weather was real cold and it was snowing lightly in the afternoon :D Oh and people were everywhere...so damn crowded.

Only spent 2 nights in New York before I left for Frankfurt.

When I woke up the next morning and looked out of the window, I was so surprised and excited when I saw the whole city covered with WHITE SNOW. Yes, the overnight snowing has covered the whole city and the view was simply marvellous.



Beautiful Frankfurt. But do exercise caution when u walk on the pavement cos it's slippery.


Guess what ?


I flew to Frankfurt and New York again a couple of days later after I was back from the previous trip. Well, you may have guessed that I would have spent my entire time rotting in my hotel room for the week long trip but u are so wrong.

BECAUSE

this time, I went to lots of places in both Frankfurt and New York. Thanks to the MARVELLOUS companions I had with me this time. You Gals rockZ !!!

Presenting...

the Super ON and FUN Companions......Sinarie, Jada, Patricia & Joy.
Seen here...Camwhoring in the middle of the walking street in downtown Frankfurt. Trying our very best to look the BEST and got the right angle with everyone in it. Erm...do u get it ? Hahaha...

Thanks to Pat who brought us to this little cafe...Wackers Kaffee...which is very popular with the locals for their very nice and freshly brew coffee. It's located in a quiet corner of the city and so it's not easy to locate it :D

Cappuccino, Latte and Hot Chocolate...


Look @ how excited we were before we had our 1st sip... And in case you are wondering, we were in the sub zero temperature enjoying and appreciating our beverage :D


Here's some candid shots which I took while the gals were busy sipping their drinks...




Some shots may be interesting...but pls refrain from laughing k. Wahahaha...so Kawaii eh.Think they gonna kill me for posing unglam photos of them here...Ssshhhhh...


Currywurst. Nutella Crepe. Fries with Ketchup. Coffee. Birkenstock. Alter Opel. Tods. LV. Gucci. Prada. Chanel. Long Champ. Hako. That pretty sum up our downtown Frankfurt trip :D


Dinner @ Pizzeria Da Cimino ... our usual joint which make really really good Pizza n Pasta.


Broccoli w Champignon were really tasty. The Salmon pizza which I ordered was really nice and the pizza with mushrooms, ham, pastrami and egg which Pat ordered was good as well. Even the pasta that the gals ordered were out of this World. That's our sumptuous and satisfied dinner :D


And it snowed again when we were back to Frankfurt from New York a few days later. I simply love the snow covered Frankfurt :D

After a couple of nights in Frankfurt, it's time to head to New York where we had another round of fun & laughter.

On our way to Bubba Gump in Times Square...



Lunch @ Bubba Gump...


My second time here and I will be back again !!! Food were really great though the portions weren't that big. Seafood were the day...Prawns...Prawns and more Prawns :D The people who shared the lunch with me were still the Best !

Before you scroll down, please get ready some tissues in case u drool :P...

That's what we ordered. It's really delicious and within minutes, everything was gone from the table...abit exaggerating here but the food was just so popular and perhaps everyone was just so hungry :D

We had American Breakfast @ STARDUST the next morning...


Our Sumptuous Breakkie...

Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Strawberries. Bagel with Egg and Potatoes. Eggs Benedict with Potatos. Sunny Side up with Toast and Ham. Coffee & Tea.

What's so special and unique about StarDust and what makes it popular among the New Yorkers lies in her talented waiters and waitresses...


Here...the waiters and waitresses would sing and dance for you while you are enjoying every bite of your food. They can really sing very well and their dance moves were superb. They would pass around a pail asking for tips or donation after their performance. These tips are important to each and everyone of them because they are used to pay for their training in acting, singing or dancing in order for them to perform in Broadway. Well, everyone has a dream..so lets help one another eh :D

Decided to venture to Downtown New York where the Financial District is and where Battery Park is located.

In Battery Park. It's freezing cold here with chilly winds blowing from the sea. From far, you could see the Statue of Liberty (Photo at bottom right). Look at the bench with 'glaciers' hanging onto it....Interesting eh :D

A 15-minute walk from Battery Park would take us to the Historic Seaport District where you could find all the shopping you want. Oh and a very nice unobstructed view of The Brooklyn Bridge.


WALL Street.

That pretty much sum up my entire 8 days trip. It's really fun especially if you have such a great company. How I wish our stay could be longer :D

Oh ya, the Popeyes fried chicken in New York was so much tastier than the ones I had in Singapore. It's really very delicious...trust me!

And I miss the kebab rice which we bought it from the makeshift roadside stall and had it every night for dinner in New York. May not look appetising but the taste of it will make u ask for more. Trust me!

To J...
What u did was really foolish and I do hope that you won't do it again.
Everyone has their own problems.
Instead of escaping, we should bravely face our problems
and solve them one by one.
Death will not solve anything.
Imagine the sense of satisfaction u will get when u overcome the obstacles.
That's what life is all about...Ups and Downs...To be able to stand up after you fall etc etc
Afterall,
You are our PRECIOUS and we LOVE u :D
Muacks.
