The Diary Of Tweetymanggis continued...

So here is the second part of the photo story.

We decided to take a ferry to see the Statue of Liberty. While waiting in a loooooooooong line, we were entertained by buskers and whatever else.


One of the talents - A contortionist. I laughed so much because just the night before I managed to convince some young impressionable boys at a bar (in fact the ones with the ridiculously oversized mug of beer) that Gloria was a kungfu artist and contortionist extraodinaire now doing stunt work in Hollywood.

So such good samaritans were we that we dutifully donated money to each of the acts along the way as we slowly inched forward to board the ferry. When we finally got to the front of the queue, the ticket guy looks at our tickets and shouts "THIS IS THE WRONG FERRY GALS! THIS ONE MAKES STOPS! YOU GOT THE CHEAP CHARLIE TOUR! OUT YOU GOOOO!"

Ok, so I am exaggerating - he didnt use those EXACT words but people all around us were laughing their asses off anyway.


There she is - Lady Liberty...Ok ok, so it was raining and my hair was getting frizzy and my camera only 2 megapixels okaaaay?????

After getting off the boat, we decided to walk through Wall Street on the way to Century 21.



A little piece of NYC trivia: Did you know? The Wall Street bull has a nice set of balls? There is Glo rubbing them for good luck. Trying for Euro Millionaire jackpot lah.

The front side now


That's me putting my acrylic nails to good use - Or Pi Sai!!!!

About Century 21. We spent 5 hours there. 'Nuff said.

That night we landed back at Spice Market. Why? Because the dumbass concierge at out hotel told us to go to a place called Hog's Pit for real good ribs. The only thing good about that damn dirty place was the fact that "My Michelle" was playing when we entered. Dumbass concierge. I think his name is Timothy. With a name like that, what else could he be.

This time round at Spice Market, Judith made absolutely sure that we were able to have dessert (the last time appaently we were too late and the kitchen had closed). She even pre-ordered dessert when we were ordering our main meal. Our very nice waiter thought we were MAD. But it was well worth it because the Ovaltine Kulfi somethingorother was just HEAVENLY!! Kudos to Stanley Wong or Stanley Ho (Cannot remember). He should come to Geneva and open a restaurant.


The delicious dessert


Anush looking very pretty with with her poratble light sabre

On Friday, Christine invited us over to her place for brunch. She made delicious scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, salmon, cream cheese, bagels, salad, melon and parma ham and MIMOSA's. She has an INCREDIBLE rooftop terrace with super views of the city. So much so that we canned our trip to the Empire State Building. Aiyah, saw already what, from the open top bus!!


Finally, a nice warm sunny day!!!

Sooooooo nice isn't it???

After, we continued on our sightseeing trip of Manhatten, heading down towards Canal Street and Chinatown. We did a ridiculous amount of shopping. We were the quintessential Urru-Mama's. Everybody else in our hotel came back from shopping trips with nice little pretty bags from Coach, Barney's etc etc and we would come back everyday with our arms laden with pretty bags, ugly bags, even the black versions of the ugly market pink plastic bags you get in Singapore. Typical tourists from Singapore. Shopping in Manhatten like its ONE BIG GIGANTIC MOHAMMAD MUSTAFA ON SALE!!!!

And while walking merrily along what did we stumble across? A polic department precinct! Waaaaahhhh!! Take photo, TAKE PHOTOOO!!!


Look at the cheeky faces


We decided to take another shot in front of the Starsky and Hutch car but WE CAN'T SEE THE CAR!!!!

Anushia's last day we decided to go to Rockefeller Centre, Central Park (which made me nostalgic for Singapore Zoo) and Grand Central Station


Oh-oh say can you seee...3 gorgeous Singaporean chick-eees....

That's the end of the pics. Sorry...got more but must wait to post. No more space of Flickr. At Central Park my camera went bust so couldn't take anymore pictures either.

Just to finish the story in words, we went out that night to Elliot's place for a very nice party at his parents' apartment. Then we went to ZiZi Titty or someplace sounding like that for a little dancing. A little bit bizarre but too late to go anywhere else.

Next day, did last minute shopping/sightseeing and then sent Anushia off in the Super Shuttle. Boohoohoo. That night, our last night in NYC, we were so excited that we decided to use our last ounces of energy to enjoy the City That Never Sleeps. So we turned on the TV, got into bed and went to sleep ourselves. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! Really really really had no more petrol in the tank. Lau Bu liao!!!

Next morning, die hard, seriel shoppers went to buy last minute things and extra luggage to lug everything back home. End of holiday. *Sniff* *sniff*

That my friends is the story. Nice ah? I hope you have enjoyed the show and keep checking back for more pics and rubbish stories. Tralalalallaaaaaa!!!!! Ciaoooo!!!!
