it's a good feeling to have Elfie lying to me with her Blankie (Yes, she's 15 and she still has a Blankie. to each their own; don't judge.) over her eyes to block out the Sun. she said she fell asleep only when the Sun came up. i wouldnt have known better; i was long gone even before i hit the sack.
Chai&I arrived in Bangkok last night and was greeted by Elfie&Cafie&AUNTS and it was amazing to see at least half the ChooFAM after a long time!
bye NewYork. we had an amazing time... probably one of the BEST Christmas present i've ever received.
it's really embarrassing to admit it but before leaving for America, i was hoping SO hard to see the cast of Gossip Girl. Whattttt?! i'll admit; i'm a huge
fuck, he's SOOOO sexyyy! ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod.
but knowing my luck, during the time i arrived, they were filming in studios so i didnt see jack.
also blaming My luck, i missed the snowfall. I Know! wtf, right? but unfortunately, i did. my Mum was wayyyy more crushed than i was though. she went on about for half the day til i reminded her i have absolutely NO clue what her problem was since she's going to Whistler anyways. mothers.
i've probably watched more news the seven days i was there in NY than i have my entire life. and i dont even know how i get up Without 5 alarms before eight in the morning and making it down before ten for breakfast. i keep thinking about what it is that gets me up and i've only come to one conclusion; they have really good blueberry muffins down in the breakfast buffet so i'm guessing it's me not wanting to miss out on them. sad, but it's the truth.
apart from the map of New York City in my bag which i pull out ever so discreetly half the time, and being confused with the coins that they use in America, TV show timings absolutely confuses me.
first of all. as terrible/horrible/a total retard when it comes to map reading and a sense of directions; i havent been TOO bad during my trip. and i have figured out that a Dime is 10cents, a Quarter is 25cents (DUH!), and the little copper coins are 1cents, but what is a penny? also, is it just me or can someone tell me if the news are on repeat? 'cause it Really feels like it is! i'll be watching it, and than it'll end and the same thing will come up and i'll be like, "that looks familiar". AND! what the hell does like, 7/8 mean? like, it's on the bottom left hand corner of all the shows. i dont get it! does it mean it's showing at 7 OR 8?!
cause i dont have a loaded boyfriend/fiance or parents that print money, Unfortunately. i emptied almost all of my wallet within the first 2 days i was there and my Mum Absolutely Refused to open up hers for me. do you know what i had to go through to get a 40 out of her? Seriously. (she'll probably fly all the way here to Thailand to stab me if she read this; I'M KIDDING MOTHER! you know me; full of jokes and appreciate-ism :D no, i'm kidding. really! i'm really grateful for the trip; God knows i've waited seven bloody years for it. let's take a trip back down memory lane, shall we? i was 11 and it was between Australia and America. than OSAMA BLOODY BIN LADEN pulled a Sep11 (God bless the souls who were lost that day), and i guess the choice was clear. Oh, my Mum&I went to the Twin Towers site, and it was sad, really. it's not like i knew what it looked like before but right now it's just this fenced up huge piece of empty land. so it makes you feel, Empty? i dont know... it was sad.)
but the Mac&Cheese i had after that made me feel tons better. man, it was Good!
so anyways as i was saying. i dont have a loaded set of parents nor a loaded guy in love with me waiting to marry me so after spending practically all my money, i was told to "sight see and dont you dare cab. take the subway!" so i did as i was told; i took the subway. Several times, actually. it, wasn't as scary as i thought it would be. sure it looked like it did in Blade Trinity, and it's NOWHERE near similar to anything our MRT stations look like with the dirt-stained walls and paper MET card but it wasn't un-endurable. it actually moves quite fast, and within like, 4 mins i've arrived 20 or smthg blocks later.
i've been writing this post for like, 2 days now. the Publish Post button needs to be clicked.
