Welcome to NYC! - 9:39 AM
-I understand that your airline company has just declared bankrupt...but COME ON, don't take it out on us. -I took what was probably one of the worst flights of my life yesterday from Detroit to JFK. I reckon the pilot's probably some retired airforce pilot who was recounting his glory days. TMD, swerve here-swerve there, you would think that you were in one of those 'BACK TO THE FUTURE' rides in Disneyland, where they put u in a container, make u look at a screen and than simulate the container to make you dizzy. My insides were squirming like siao, I had a migraine and I thought I was gonna die.
And if the flight was bad, wait till you try out one of those infamous yellow cabs of New York. Well known for knowing their way through Manhattan (i.e knowing which lanes to cut into), the ride was comparable to 'INDIANA JONES' at Disneyland. He was driving thru a residential area which had a STOP sign every 5m. And he didn't seem to be capable of anticipating the signs and made me propel forward each time he braked. Or mebbe he was capable but just thought it was more fun that way. TMD.
I just got up, now safe in Ruoxi's apartment, will be going to the Waldorf in a couple of hours (but I'm so lazy leh I wanna nua). As I look down at the bustling roads, I see a horse drawn carriage, followed by an ambulence, (but the horse was sashaying like I always do and don't seem to understand the urgency of the siren. haha), followed by a woman in a bicycle wrestling traffic with the big guns (ala Beijing except that there, its the cars competing with the cyclists) tons of yellow cabs and...... HOLD IT, HOLD IT!! WHAT IS THIS I SEE? A bus with a poster of CARRIE BRADSHAW! (Sex n the city fame for you folks who have no clue. ala THE style icon of the 21st C.)
AHHH...what can I say? Welcome to New York City, where EVERYTHING happens....ALL AT ONCE!=)
*ruoxi says we might not be eating xlb...i think i'm gonna cry*
