24th May 07 - New York City Day 4 (a.k.a LASTTTTT day!!!!)
the morning was spent walking thru Central Park which was the place that F.R.I.E.N.D.S is always filmed at. it's just basically a normal park, except that it's really huge.
becoz i've been watching alot of F.R.I.E.N.D.S, it feels more like i'm visiting filming grounds or something... haha...
it's a perfect place to spend your mornings walking your dog, reading a book under the trees, having a picnic... sounds totally like what i always read in books abt the parks in America.
and look what we found!
we managed to make our way thru Central Park to the Metropolitan Musuem which is the largest museum in New York. i tot it was 10 times more interesting than the previous museum we went to, coz the exhibits inside are much more intriguing...
and right outside the museum was this really cool little stall that sells the scripts of movies and sitcoms like Harry Potter, F.R.I.E.N.D.S, grey anatomy etc... supa interesting!!!!!
we spent abt 3 to 4 hrs at the museum... lazy to tok abt it... let the photos do the talkin haha...
The Egyptians:
lotsa damn weird stuff, which looked kinda freaky too. how the hell can sculptures without heads look artistic or good anyway!??!?!! or mebbe i juz cant accept way too abstract art. they juz look freaky to me.
hmmm... i wonder if les realised that the body his head is leaning on, has boobs... haha...
The Chinese:
we wanted to noe more abt the history and cultures displayed in the museum, so we were more den overjoyed when we found this really nice zen-looking library tucked in a corner of the museum...
Paintings by Leonardo Da Vinci and his likes:
Greek and Roman mythodology:
forgot what this is, but it looks damn magnificent. and notice what les is looking at. haha...
kissing in front of CUPID!
Christianity section:
Old English Victorian style:
i love the old English style look, can't u totally imagine those English women in corsets and hugeass hats and flary big dresses sitting ard the fireplace?
The Warriors:
and more paintings:
Musical Instruments section:
and this is the weirdest musical instrument i see there...
and things u'll nvr find in spore...
and I really wanted to go Niagara Falls, but we had time constraints.
North Carolina trip entry coming up!

that sort of summed up our 4 days in New York, which is short but really fulfilling! and travelling in small grps is really optimal for doing things fast, we managed to cover places in a total of 4 days, when normal ppl will take 8 days...
and I really wanted to go Niagara Falls, but we had time constraints.
anyway we'll be goin Grand Canyon, yes! grand canyon!!!!
New York was really fun, more fun and interesting den i make it sound. haha trust me. but i'm really tired everytime i'm blogging so i dun haf the energy to write more or phrase everything in a more proper way haha...
