Happy to be home.

As much as I thought I’d be dreading coming home, I’m actually pretty relieved. Of course, the turn of events at the end left me grateful that I get to go home to my parents and crawl into bed and just lie there by myself, comforted in knowing that I am safe there. Here.

Abercrombie Overload

Ok, so I had passed the Abercrombie flagship on 5th Ave a few times this trip, and there was always a huge line outside so I never bothered. (Sidenote: it’s ridiculous that people actually line up for ABERCROMBIE! I mean come on…in Asia people only line up for Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, and the like…not [...]

So sad :(

Today’s my last full day in NYC! The weather suits my mood – it’s kinda rainy and grey and depressing today, kinda like yesterday. Got a lot to do today – drugstore & GNC run for friends and family at home, and possibly a boat tour thingie around Manhattan with two guys I met last [...]

The Little Mermaid

Oh. My. God.
I am absolutely in love with this show! It was so good – all the songs and dancing and the stage sets and costumes were gorgeous and outrageous and beautiful, and the transitions from sea to land or vice versa were clever, and the new songs were good as well. I cannot say [...]

The MoMA

I took a 4-hour nap today. I didn’t mean to, it just happened…didn’t want to get up either, when it was 6.30. So much for getting over jet lag!! So all I did today was get a mani/pedi and go to brunch w/the bf (so yum – we went to some Belgian restaurant in [...]

Greetings from NYC!

Ok, it’s 7am and I can’t sleep – been awake for nearly an hour – my eyes were still tired enough to close, but my body just won’t listen and was uncomfortable no matter what position I lay in, so I decided to get up and wait for the rest of the city to wake [...]

Quoted! (Headless Book Covers)

Megan McCafferty, one of my favourite authors (I absolutely love Sloppy Firsts, Second Helpings, and Charmed Thirds) – quoted me on her (retro)blog!
The topic was on headless book covers – you know, like on all the Gossip Girl books, and on Megan’s books as well. Take a look-see:

In a previous post, Megan pointed to an [...]

X-Sudoku

Jamie asked me what X-Sudoku is, so I hereby present you with it:

You can’t really see the shaded squares, but they go diagonally across the grid as well, meaning that those numbers also go 1-9 and can’t repeat. I love it – there are so many more way to solve it than regular sudoku, although [...]

Horoscopes

My horoscope in the Sunday Magazine today:
Although you are an optimist, you sometimes let things get you down unnecessarily, as has been the case recently. With the sun, your ruler, entering one of the most positive angles of your chart on Thursday, your ego and energy levels will receive a boost.
Um, how accurate is that? [...]

To Do List:

Things I need to do before I leave on Thursday:

Change money (and before that, figure out how much cash I’ll need for 9 days…)
Pick up makeup that they still owe me from Lane Crawford
Pick up book from Asher
Buy black Signo pen
Decide whether to buy a camera or not, and if yes, which one, then buy [...]
