picture perfect

some highlights of america through the lens..

new jersey <3

the princeton bunch and chan on the beach

picnicing outside our house.
all those secondary school memories came flooding back.

piggy and i. always so enjoyable company.
these pictures and going to make me sad tonight...

the girls on the trip.
we then bid cape may goodbye as chan, ren and i head forth to conquer boston.

BOSTON
i think i need a sunrise
i'm tired of the sunset
-
i think i'll go to bostonnn
i think i'll start a new lifee
i think i'll start over
no one knows my name

the harvard coop (dad are u reading this? the one and only..)

boston and the many traffic lights. so quaint.
all those generic american tv backdrops.

it was restaurant week in boston. we had top-end food for low-end prices.
hotel @ MIT. delicious seafood.

at the start of the freedom trail - looking slightly worried about our navigation.

finding the christopher columbus waterfront park. which looked like it came out of a postcard. we spent many a minute photowhoring..

the singaporean spread at the dinner party serene hosted on our last day in boston.
reminded me of home so much..

NEW YORK CITY
the subway was confusing, but i liked people-watching across the tracks.

at the museum of modert art where i found THIS!
les demoiselles d'avignon - something close to my heart and my inspiration for that 'O' level art project oh so long ago.

at battery park, where there were the memorials for all the wars america has been involved in.
a spot of reflection.

the MUD VAN! dad note: gourmet coffee in a van! it was fantastic! i had one just for you :)

and who goes to new york without seeing the statue of liberty?
my token shot. she wasn't that fantastic tbh, i'd much rather go visit the guggenheim.

only in brooklyn will you see cool grafitti like this. new york itself is too proper for such artistic talent.

the brooklyn bridge - should have seen it during sunset. apparantly it is amazing.

ooh. the new york stock exchange! all you financial people, eat your hearts out.
gosh, you wouldn't know it's american, would you?

ground zero.
a sombre moment. you can just imagine how it was like 7 years ago.
can't believe time flew by so quickly..

our happy stuffed selves at the best steak house in all of new york.
our not-so-happy wallets hiding away in vain

seriously the best pancakes i have tasted in my LIFE. i would go back to new york just for these.

chinatown, where everyone assumes you speak cantonese. i say it must be the best chinatown in the world. definitely beats london's hands down.

ahh last day dimsum with the girlies.
i miss them so.
: (

i want to go back..
