first sights/sounds/tastes of new york


it helps being here the year before, and having almost two weeks to spend here. i kinda know my way around, and i can do it in my own time; it's so unlike the rush that was last year's trip.

so far it's been pleasant and refreshing. the much-welcomed familiar tingle of tastebuds from char siew and wontons made my day yesterday.

then i had some laksa which tasted more like curry noodle.

and super-oily penang char kway teow (woo!).

and chendol + ice kacang.

gimme more! (but not in a britney kinda way)

snowed in/out

the first michigan snow storm arrived with a bang. and lots of howling.

perfect 'encouragement' in the middle of exam-slogging.

how much can a man take?

monday: one homework due, two consecutive finals.
tuesday: two more homeworks due.
thursday: another two consecutive finals.

all these amid -7°C snow showers. and sleepless nights.

by thursday i'll be GOLD. but right now i feel like a hero already.
