The green apple represents my return to New York City. (I was also amused by the Harry Potter scar it had). The experience would have been more pleasant had I not been sick the whole time so far, but I do believe the coughing fits are coming to an end. Nonetheless, I have filled my time quickly and easily by catching up with friends and visiting new and familiar places. Ground Zero was one of the first few places I revisited. Nearby, I discovered Century 21, which apparently is New York’s No. 1 discount store.

I also took the chance to try the lottery for tickets to see the musical, Young Frankenstein. Surprisingly, I won! I was happy to see Roger Bart and Megan Mullally live. Some new experiences include going up to the Top of the Rock and dining atop the Mandarin Oriental (thank you Sharon and Linda!). Of course, I went to my favourite haunts like the World of Disney, The Strand and Chinatown. I love the fact that I pratically live at Times Square where almost everything is within walking distance! Even auditions!

And it was nice to stroll through Central Park twice! I made a point to stop by good ol’ Wollman Rink (where Singapore Day took place) and was amazed at how different it looked. It was a fully operational ice-skating rink. The most recent places I went to were new ones for me. The Sony Wonder Technology Lab and The Paley Center for Media. The lab was unfortunately under renovation so only a part of it was open. And I think it was meant for kids, but I didn’t mind it somehow. I also caught the show Altar Boyz which was fun! I should have more holiday stories to tell about the next two weeks, so until then, you might like to think about planning your own vacation! =)
