WE'RE BACK!!!
...and we're so suffering from jet-lag. And still have yet to adjust back to local SG time. The three of us were fooling around last night till about 2+am. I had to force Hilman to sleep again although he had just woken up from a 9-hours nap at 1am. Haha...
Sorry peeps. This time we didn't get much souvenirs for you guys. So ex lah dey!!
Mostly shopped on Hilman's clothings, Mama's Victoria Secrets and Coach stuffs. Papa bought some Levi's jeans (like finally!!! He is so anti-Levi's. Complains that it is expensive but yet he doesn't mind paying more for other labels. Haha!).
Anyway, the trip was so fab!!!! It was definitely worth the 19 hrs plane ride. NYC is a beautiful place. It was especially surreal to me. Felt like we were in a movie setting or something. Love it, love it, love it!!!
We managed to cover almost everything in NYC except Ellis Island (where the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Museum are). We have pre-booked the tixs but due to time constraints, we decided to skip it. And since we had already taken the Staten Island ferry ride where we already got a pretty good view of the SOL, we opted to spend our last couple of days in NYC shopping instead.
And Niagara Falls was so gorgeous!!! I had always wanted to go there since I was 11. So thanks baby for making my dream come true!!! Hilman loves it so much he was running around everywhere. He especially enjoyed the chilly weather. While the omputih all are covered with thick clothings, my son bravely ran around in a thin t-shirt. Sheesh.
Luckily, we decided to got to the Canadian side of the Falls cos it was much more prettier than the American side. We passed by and saw it was pretty messy and seedy. And it was well worth the money we spent on the accommodation there. The view from the room was so prettyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Very the romantic one!!! So it was a splurge well-spent. ;p
No time to post much pictures today cos we have to prepare for Hilman's 2nd birthday bash tomorrow. Everything is so last minute since we just got back yesterday morning. Let's hope everything turns out fine. Oh No!! He is already 2!!! Erks!!! So fast!!!
I pray no one will be asking tomorrow when Baby No 2 will be coming up. Cos don't think we will have another till he is at least 3?!?!
And it is our 3rd Wedding Anniversary tomorrow!!! WooHoooo~!!! Both husband and wife have agreed no presents are necessary. The trip and all the shopping is our gift for each other. Hehe.. So tomorrow we will prob just head to The Carousel for a hopefully romantic dinner.
PS: Btw, when they say do not buy kebabs off the streetcarts in NYC, it is TRUE!!! Yours truly decided to be brave and had some kebabs together with some spice rice. And I had a horrible diarrhea right after. Practically ran along the streets in Harlem with Hilman's stroller to the nearest McDonalds to relieve myself. And not to mention, had to fight with 2 African-Americansto let me use the loo first. Had no idea I had such guts. Haha..
