New York : Central Park


Image
I made a trip down to central park this time round. LOL. Like finally. it is within walking distance from my hotel and yet i just wasn't motivated to head there in the past. oh well, it is a nice huge park right in the middle of the city.we did not managed to cover the entire park cause the weather is just so freaking hot. i think i looked a shade darker now!
Image
Image
it is quite a rare sight for me to see so many people suntanning in a park and not by the beach!
Image
Headed to central park with lindy!
Image
Image
Image
So relaxing isn't it???
Image
Image
i just cannot resist having the ice cream in such hot weather in new york. Even though it cost me freaking USD$4 for a cone ice cream. wth.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
then we settled down at a nice small cafe , had our lunch and people watch. these are moments where i love my job!
Image
maybe my next trip to new york i will do a post on soho... it seems like the place has transformed to a even better shopping paradise.LOL.

New York : Chelsea Market & High Line park


i just came back from new york this morning, but i just can't wait to edit those pictures i took of chelsea market and high line park. So without heading to bed yet, i settled on my bed and started editing those photos and now i am done editing them. So here are the pictures.. :)
Image
Image
Despite my countless time to new york. i have never been to chelsea market. the place is so nicely done up and is filled with food outlets mostly bakery and seafood.apparently the seafood there is pretty good, i will give it a try some other day. :)
Image
there are some shops there that sells some pretty cool picnic stuff.so tempting to buy them!!Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
We "ta bao" some sandwiches and drinks before we head to High line park. we wanted to relax one corner at the park and eat our sandwiches under the sun and with beautiful sights around! Life cannot get any better than that huh!
Image
Like i said earlier on my previous post, High line park is an elevated park built on old train tracks starts from around 14st all the way till 30st. we started our walk from 14st ....
Image
Image
Water!!
Image
then we saw this guy selling " American style ice kachang." LOL. it is actually shaved ice with fruit syrup. it is quite a rare sight cause the guy is shaving the ice manually without machines! Many people actually stopped to take a look at what he was doing.
Image
Image
Image
Image
The place has got some interesting art installation and designer buildings along the way that makes the whole walk so interesting and fun to visit!
Image
Image
Image
Image
Nice building huh?
Image
Image
Then the search for the plant of the week. LOL. and we found it!
Image
A permanent naked poster guy waving at us from inside one of the building! remember to watch out for these fun installation along the way! LOL.
Image
And they build a high line zoo at the backyard? hahaa.so funny!
Image
Image
then we settled down at one of the benches to have our sandwiches!
Image
Image
I really enjoyed the walk with zenn. the sights are so interesting- a combination of nature, arts and architecture. Maybe singapore should do something like this at the KTM railway tracks. :)
Hope u all enjoyed the shots as much as i do... Next post probably will be on my trip to central park  with lindy! :)
alright time for me to sleep after an 18hrs flight. good night all.

Brunch date with the ladies (The Plain cafe)


Image
shirley and me used to do lots of meet up like this during our off days in singapore when she was still flying. i miss those times when we will just meet up during the weekdays in the noon, do our shoppings and had our meals while everyone else is working their ass off. this is one of the perks of being a cabin crew. our off days are really off days, there are no need to work overtime or bring our work home. basically, just slack and do nothing. whahaa...
anyway , back to the main focus of this post. a week back, i met up with shirley and lynette for brunch at plain cafe. this is one cafe that all of us have never been , and the review of the place seems pretty okay. so we decided to give that place a try.
Image
at first,the place was packed with people when we reached. we were quite shocked to see so many people but i guess lunch crowd in tanjong pagar area is such during weekdays.
Image
they only have one main menu that is pinned to the wall. pretty inconvenient for us to look at the menu when there are actually people seated right in front of the menu. it is as though we are staring at those people sitting there. they looked pretty uncomfortable as well cause everyone is looking at their direction!
Image
i ordered the hot chocolate and shirley ordered cafe latte. pretty good. i love the hot chocolate.
Image
i had the darling's eggs. it is simple. just poached eggs over the toast with ham, cheese and tomatoes.
