NEW YORK NEW YORK!!!

Spent my holidays in the big apple... stayed at the heart of Manhattan... so let me bring you guys in a day to day synopsis of what I did.. the pictures aren't in order though... so I'll just go thru it randomly.

Day One:

Arrived Newark Liberty International Airport at around 7pm NY time. Took the cab to our hotel, The New Yorker, which is in the heart of Manhattan. Once we arrived there, took a breather, then me n dad went down to look for dinner. Found a halal cart, and bought kebab for all 3 of us... tak sedappp... but at least dpt la makan. After dinner, I took a nice shower and went straight to sleep.

Day Two:

Breakfast makan hash brown n omellete McD.. then we started of taking a two story tour bus, which took us around lower Manhattan or what they call it, Downtown. The weather was gloomy.. mmg ujan before that.. and there were drizzles along our bus trip too. Jalan2 tengok all the nice buildings and even went through some places which had some historical points. Of course lalu gak Wall Street.. and media penuh kat situ.. because of the whole economic crisis US is going thru.. The bus also took us to some movie sets.. one place was where Miranda from Sex n The Cisty got married in the garden with her husband.. alaa.. x ingat name husband die.. huhu.. then we went past the building where the shots of Spiderman were taken. Ade gak lalu kat the house Heath Ledger was found dead in.. What I liked about New York were the old buildings, many from the 19th century and early 20th which are still well preserved and lived in, some made into office buildings and shoplots. There were a few new buildings coming up to.. ad they were magnificant..

Had lunch at a food court, had shrimp pasta and cheese pizza. Kenyang giler... we only bought one plate of pasta and one slice of pizza.. tapi sbb besar gile.. so we could share it just the 3 of us. Then we went browsing thru Macy's Deparment store. The biggest department store in New York. Tak shopping sangat.. sebab just nak tengok2 dulu ape yg interesting nak beli. Malam we had dinner kat Red Lobster... sedap ooo... makan udang je.. udang goreng tepung, udang pasta, udang tumis, popcorn udang, crab cake.. ok, that's not udang.. hahahaa... but lovely2 food.

Day Three:

Sambung with our trip. Went to take a ferry to pass by Brooklyn City, Ellis Island and the statue of liberty. Lady Liberty looked pretty.. and we found out that Lady liberty was carved by a french man in which the face of lady liberty resembled that of his mother and the body resembled his lover. Lady liberty was a gift from France to the USA for honouring their close ties between countries. After that, we went to China Town... ok, nyesal gi situ... busuk n dirty.. I didn't remember it being like that the last time I came. Kitorg makan kat McD je.. mkn filet o fish, sebab there was nowhere else to eat in China Town. But we did manage to get some souvenirs laa.. later we went to Time Square and jalan2 there and sambung shopping around that area plak. Had dinner of err... makan ape ek? tak ingat.. hahahaha...

Day Four:

Daddy took the morning flight to Cincinatti, Ohio. So tinggal la me n Mommy in the big Apple. I woke up n beli Roti Canai yg lain giler... ade ubi kat tengah2.. nasib baik dalcha die sedap. I bought it at a halal Kashmiri cafe a couple of blocks from our hotel. Lepas tu me n mommy went to Central Park Zoo. Kecik giler ok Zoo tu... it's like, less thatn 2 acres, and animals die pun ciput2 je... but it's a nice zoo in the city la.. masuk kat Central Park tu, u forget that u're in the busiest city in the world, because of the big trees and the chirping of the birds, and the occasional sounds of the monkeys and sea lion in the zoo... hahaha.. owh, sape yg tgk madagascar tu, don't be decieved ok. There are no girrafes or hipppos or lions or zebra's in the zoo. Ade monkeys n birds and turtles, then ade 2 ekor sea lion and 2 ekor polar bear je.. hahaha.. later we went to Nanking.. a muslim Thai restaurant... puas makan nasi goreng and mommy had her rice with lobster... sedap ooooo... Then sambung shopping kat M&M World..(would blog about this later) and Hershey's World, pastu letak barang kat Hotel and sambung shopping sket2 around our hotel plak.

Day Five:

Selamat Hari Raya!!! Only me n Mommy je beraya together.. Daddy is stuck in the seminar in Ohio.. sigh... called my grandparents.. n mama menangis... she was like 'I got used to not having satu cucu for Raya.. but now I'm short of one cucu, one son and one menantu'... puas my mom pujuk die.. huhuhu...

Me n mommy had lunch kat Bombay Palace.. our Raya meal makan nasi beriyani and all those northern indian food la. Then gi shopping kat Bloomingdale's. Kat situ macam ala2 department store yg mahal... everything pun mahal.. but adela a few things yg bleh beli... like say... my Juicy Couture bag!!!! I mean.. murah giler ok.. compare ngan Malaysia!!! Ngehehehe... gumbiranyaaa!!!

Pastu gi sambung shopping kat Macy's plak. Mlam tu I went and bought nasi for mommy and chicken nuggets and fries for myself kat this halal cafe again. Senang gak nak cari Halal food... makin ramai Arab n Pakistani's jual food kat situ. But muak gak la, dok makan there food n fried food n seafood jer memanjang.

Day Six:

Check out from the hotel and had our last minute shopping at Macy's and Time Square, while waiting for Daddy to arrive from Ohio. After lunch, we went to Newark and stayed in Hilton Newark Hotel, in New Jersey, miles away from New York... goodbye New York City. Kat sane, we just lepak2 the whole day... we packed food from the indian restaurant back in New York awal2.. so we had that for dinner.

Day Seven:

Went to Jersey Gardens Mall, a factory outlet store. Of course, everything is cheap!! but the thing is, it's not the latest items la... but bantai... asal murah!! Hahahaha... the whole day kat situ je.. makan minum pun kat situ.. coz that's the nearest place we can makan pun from our hotel.. yg lain semue jauh.

Day Eight:

Going home at night, but before that, we make a quick 3 hour stop kat Jersey Gardens again and went for some last minute shopping spree. Balik hotel tu, cepat2 packing and went to the airport. Then at 10pm, we went on our flight back home to the beautiful country of Malaysia, truly Asia...

Day Nine:

Sampai dahhh.... dapat makan nasi lemak, slept for 6 hours and had a nice dinner and here I am typing away.. ngehehehe...

Here are some of the pictures I took. Tak banyak though... sebab Daddy n Mommy prefered to be n video camera and hold the video camera instaad of the camera.. huhu...
