New York ... New York

New York ..New York..

Start spreading the news

I'm leaving today

I want to be a part of it, New York, New York

These vagabond shoes Are longing to stray

And make a brand new start of it

New York, New York

I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps

To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap

These little town blues

Are melting away I'll make a brand new start of it

In old New York

If I can make it there

I'll make it anywhere

It's up to you, New York, New York.

My NYC trip

I arrived the the Big Apple yesterday around 3pm, then I went to the office chatted up for half an hour then went back to the hotel. After a 20hr flight, I was pretty smashed, after indulging in a NY Strip Sirloin and fresh berries for desert (Room service btw... I kno ..i kno.. spoiled) I decided to take a short nap ..then prolly go walk around ..then I woke up all of a sudden then realized it was 10pm (but I was supposed to have a drink with some colleagues during 9:30) Anyway..I rushed down..tired and all and went out to grab a bite with them...after that I went back to my room ..showered..then waited for a document from email...till 2am..darn it...

Had 5 hrs of sleep...ONLY

Then woke up 7am and went on my business trip to Philadephia..3 hrs on the road..3 hr meeting in Philly..had lunch..headed back to Newark..for another meeting..then went to Manhattan soho for dinner.. whilst passing by the various shops in Soho..my heart was torn into pieces as I could not enter those cute little botiques. Its mental torture..it is..honestly..its not humane.. to pass by one of the most facinating shopping areas and not be able to go into the shops... I was pratcially drooling when I passed by Miss Sixty (SALE SIGN)..Anthropologie (only available in the States)..Diesel (my fave store)..REISS (the kool UK brand)..

However.. I did rather enjoy my meal..we all went to this Italian Restaurant located in centre Soho area. Off the bat, I noticed that the ppl eating there were either incredibily hot or chic. (Even the old ppl looked good..skinny..fashionable..with an uptown kinda radiance) We sat in the garden terrace..very nice with the summer breeze..had some italian wine..Chianti..."Castello di Fonterutoli "..very full bodied...yum..I had a salad plus beef carpaccio..but the real deal was the desert ..a warm banana tart with ice cream on top AND a nice cup of espresso. Absolutely heavenly....

A very New York / Italian terrace

Terrace after dark (Sun sets at 9pm here)
