usa 2010: some brooklyn lovin'

there is something about brooklyn i can't put my finger to, but there is a certain charm about brooklyn that im addicted to.. brooklyn bridge, park slope, williamsburg, pizza, craft markets, prospect park.. all that good stuff.

each time i visit new york, we crash at alex's place. he is the cuddliest and sweetest boy i know!! he still remembers what type of chips i fancy, goes tech-shopping with daniel and stocks the fridge up for us each time we visit. and in turn, we cook up a HUGE chinese meal for him and take him to fancy new places he's never been too!!! through the years i've known him, he has moved a couple times but each time we find ourselves back in brooklyn.. yippee!!


picture from here

we've zipped by the brooklyn bride so many times but never walked across it, so one sunny afternoon, we decided it was time!


hullo, bridge!


daniel got me some floaty balloons..


and we twirled a little, jumped a little more. and got kinda close here...


but he had this in mind but i just wasn't doing the right things. so he did a mini demonstration. and spitefully, i told him that his toes weren't pointed properly. maturity at its finest.. *sigh*

oh! he also bribed me with a huge ice-cream cone from brooklyn ice cream factory cos we were taking so long and it was so warm.

well, i didn't quite pull it off in the end but it was still good fun.


bits of the bridge..


america the beautiful..


new york, new york.. how i miss you already!!

i wonder when we're headed there again!

  2. Haha, I'm listening to Empire State of Mind as I'm writing this..."Concrete jungle where dreams are made of...these streets will make you feel brand new". I love NYC - it's my spiritual home. Can't wait to return one day.
    Love the Mary Poppins shot you linked to (and yours too!):)

  17. i left cuz my visa had run out, and i couldn't find another job to sponsor my work visa (i wasn't in finance then...worked for Estee Lauder corporate). so i was dragged kicking and screaming back to Singapore...if i'd had my way, i would've stayed forever!
