I’ve finally come to the last of my New York 2015 posts. It took me less than a year, yay! Haha! My standards have dropped, man. But it’s okay, I’m working on my backlog. Anyway! Today, I’ll be sharing with you “How I Met”, or specifically how my solo trip to The Metropolitan Museum of Art was. Instead of doing…
It’s Thursday! Or as what The Muttons call it: ALMOST FRIDAY. I don’t particularly like Thursdays because I grew up having coding on that day, but hey, Thursdays are not so bad. For one thing, the car at home is now coding every Tuesday but I can’t not like Tuesday coz it’s my favorite day of…
I should be sleeping. But somehow I feel that if I sleep, I’ll lose momentum (of what exactly, I don’t know) or that I’m wasting daylight (nightlight). I’m being haunted yet again by the desire to do so many things. I’m considering continuing my French classes but if I go to my previous school, I’ll…
When I was typing up this blog post, I almost wrote that it was my favorite spot in New York. Top of the Rock was amazing, but the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) edged it out by 0.00001 points. It was exactly my kind of museum and not only was I surrounded by great, legendary works, it…
Some people do things for recognition. Some do it for personal fulfilment. Some do it for money. Some do it to pursue passions. Some do it for all of the above. Whatever you do it for, do it well and whole-heartedly. Understand that sometimes the recognition you are looking for will not come from someone…
My New York itinerary was very much fluid and tentative except for two musts that I have pre-booked waaay in advance – Wicked and a meal from a Michelin-starred restaurant. For a Michelin-virgin, this was a bit tricky because a) there’s so many options to choose from, b) I have my finances to consider, and c) I wanted it to be…
My plan after getting off the Staten Island Ferry was to make my way north, check out the sights in the Financial District before heading off to watch Matilda. There’s actually quite a lot to see, so let’s get on with this super simple and easy to navigate Downtown Manhattan itinerary, shall we? 🙂 From South Ferry,…
The Staten Island Ferry is a 25-minute water-shuttle from Downtown Manhattan to Staten Island. It’s a hit not just with commuters, but with tourists who want to see the Statue of Liberty semi-up close as well. I’ve previously admired Lady Liberty from Battery Park, but guys, it’s a whole ‘nother level of appreciation when you’re…
I’ve previously touched up on this topic here but I feel it deserves a lengthy discussion. It might be a quarter life crisis, or just the stirring in my soul… Either way I wonder sometimes about the outcome of a still verdict less life. Am I living it right? Thanks John Mayer for perfectly encapsulating my sentiments! Did you ever have…
When Waris Dirie said that “Brooklyn’s good. Brooklyn’s funky. Brooklyn’s happening.“ I think she may as well have been talking about the food. After all, it would be a travesty to serve this hip neighborhood with unimaginative, lackluster food. Stereotypically known to be the home of creatives and various ethnic groups, this borough oozes with that…
One of the highlights of my recent New York trip was crossing from DUMBO to Downtown Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge. Over a century old, I can just imagine how many people have passed through this stone and cable structure and what kind of stories they carried. Walking through it makes you feel like…
