So as I'm writing this entry, My Super Ex Girlfriend is playing. Its funny how the Broadway Hotel and Hostel seem to be 'good enough' of an establishment to have movie nights every night on their 3 flat screens hanging on the nice brick walls in their slick furnished lobby. Stepping into the lobby area really does make you feel like you're in college or something with all the other young people who would rather rough it out in a shabby 29.99USD a night hostel. So its our last night here in New York City. I doubt there'll be any pictures in my entries as I don't have a laptop with me. Anyway, we are gonna get pictures from everyone here at the end of the whole trip. So then, you guys can see whats going on in the hood yo!

So we arrived at JFK International and got a shuttle to the hostel. Check in is at 3pm. We got to the hostel at 7am. So what we did was leave our luggage at the hostel and hung out across the street until we could check in. SAD INDEED. But anyway, since then, its been crazy! Been on our feet the whole day for the past 2 days. Some of the places we went to are Empire State Building, Time Square - TRL BABY! , BROADWAY SHOWS - Marry Poppins and RENT! , Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero (which made me feel a lil wierd walking the streets where people were running in terror), and so much more that I cannot remember right now. So much in 3 days! So much to say so little time! Cant wait to tell you guys about it

New York is:
- Like bangkok, dirty, roadside businesses, only with more black people.
- unbelievable! I still cant believe i'm in New York!
- surprisingly not as expensive as I thought the things would be.
- a massive labrynth of city blocks, sidewalks and streets with people and cars all over the place which think that the traffic signals are just suggestions, who honk their horn non-stop 24hrs a day ignoring the signs that say 'DO NOT HONK HORN - FINE $200 + 2 POINTS'
- famous and I really love it but their subway stations are FILTHY.

Even before I can believe that my ass is in New York City, its time to pack up. Next Stop: ORLANDO.

Hate making decisions.

So, we spent the weekend in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Didn't really do much, just hung around and relax. Gen and I watched Nate on the two nights there while Aunty Mary and Uncle Lenny headed to the tables. Sigh. If I was just a year older, I would have prolly spent all my hard earned money at the poker tables.

So here are some pictures. I've taken pretty great shots from this trip, so it might be like photo overload. Please take time to look at these photos!

So anyway, Uncle Lenny and I rushed back home at lunch time to get ready for the trip. Within half an hour, we were on the road.



Picked up some Wendy's from the drive through, and we're on our way!


The boy was an angel, he did pretty good throughout the 5 hour drive, i think it was because he had the portable dvd player.




Saber dog came along too! Drooling all over my hair the whole way thank you so much puppy.



Ok, so we got to tahoe at bout 6 in the evening. This is what Babes and I did for the evening. Sistah time yo.





Yes... Argh. Okay! Don't say anything! You guys all know i love music but not much of a banjo-on-my-knee fan. Yes, we watched Rascal Flatts in concert. ONLY BECAUSE THEY WERE COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS. I am so not proud of my concert status. Since being a young adult, I have watched Good Charlotte and Rascal Flatts. ..........






The lead guitarist who has the most soft voice, he should be the front man. My hair stood when he sang. 


Ok see that man in the photo. I know I look retarded but i had to show you guys. This stone cold steve austin harley davidson biker dude was singing along to rascal flatts with his eyes closed with so much feeling.


LOOK WHAT WE MISSED. Gen was practically screaming.


So when the voilin guy came out, we headed back. Music got a little too much for us to handle. We rockers bodoh.


lying in the hallway of the hotel, Harrah's.


When the parents hit the tables, we threw a party. hah sure.


After much persuation and threats, he finally agreed to lie down for a book and get ready for bed.

Gen and I didn't even stay up past 1am. And we couldnt even wake up at 10 the next morning. After breakfast, it was off to visit the Lake. It was a beautiful day. FYI, Lake Tahoe is about the size of Singapore. 













 





So anyway, after just basking in the sun for like two hours, we headed to this like little burger place in the middle of the woods. Well not exactly int he middle, but that's what I got from it. like you know in shows how some people just come across cool makan places in the middle of nowhere. That was it for me.





Huge ass burgers and crispy onion rings and arlic fries and killer lemonade and milkshakes. Headed back to the hotel for a dip in the pool and off to some fine dining cantonese cuisine. It was really good, they had like chinese caligraphy all over the ceiling, and the ambience, SWEET!





ARCADE TIME. Can you imagine the two of us playing lame games just to win tickets for Nate. We had like close to a 1000 tickets. I would never get that much in this lifetime back at home. And we did it in just two nights.


Now this is too kool for old skool yo.





So the next morning, we went for breakfast and checked out right after that. It was a loooong ride home. With all that traffic, we were on the road for like 8 hours. I was supposed to drive, but california highways scare the crap out of me.

Stopped by the park with a gorgeous view.










That field is mine field full of dog poop.


So back in Tahoe, for the third time, last time was in 4 years ago. God forgive me, I didn't appreciate his creation then. I was overwhelmed on the way back, letting my index finger go crazy on the camera buttons. The highlight f the trip. We stopped by, near a waterfall way way high up in the mountains. Walked a little through the 'woods' and tadah. Fresh water stream. AND MY CAMERA BATT DIED. Thank god I got a few.












Ok didnt do too good with these pictures, was too busy trying not to fall in those mini rapids. God, I wish you guys were there to soak your feet in that fresh cool water.

OK! This entry took a whole lot of my time! I have A LOT more pictures that I'm dying to show you guys. I will do that tomorrow. SO COME BACK AND CHECK IT OUT YO.



Goodbye babes. Keep the room clean til I get home! Your vacation was ended way too soon. =(
