Finally Iam here updating my life in New York! Firstly, after these 2 dys, I can really really said that I LOVE NY!!! I really realy love it! It was damn fun and exciting over here! Let me blog about it in detail NOW!!
Before Day I: (with Winson, Qi Jun & Jun Ghai)
The 3 of us - Velle, Jessi and I took a Cathay Pacific Flight CX 640, TIME: 10 15 to HongKong to transit to New York. We stayed at the transit area for 4 hours and finally the 16 hours long journey in the confined airbus took off! In the plane, we cant sleep well!! It was so uncomfortable but at least the entertainment is there however, the flight was really strenuous and as expected, jet lag! Eventually after 16hrs, we proceeded to NEW YORK JFK airport customs clearance! We spent some time over there filling up stupid forms!! We were supposed to fill up the white form because we have VISA but a stupid officer went to gave us a green form to fill in which caused our delay! Anyway after clearance, thinking to get a trolley to push our heavy luggages but to our surprise, we got to rent a cart at 3.00USD thus we forsake that idea and pull on our own! But the luggage was really too heavy for these 3 ladies! nvm...that was not the worst case. the toilets in the airport have holes in them?!! I can see the actions of the people inside those cubicles. I cant believe it! And some China people didnt lock the doors when they do their business or peeing! So gross!!
Next, we planned to stick to our plans to wait for Clarice, Amy and JOanna as the 3 of them will only arrive on the next morning however, after looking at the terminal condition, we decided to go over o our hotel to wait for them instead. Therefore, we walked out of the airport and as usual, those 'private cab service providers' will be there to ask where are u going and they will charge u a certain amount and drive u to yr destination. Initially we wanted to take a car that charged us 45USD but we realised that the amount does not include Taxes and tips!!! To be safe, we rejected the offer. Upon circling around at the same spot nd discusshow are we going to get back to hotel, some people asked us to take a cab, some say this and that...I was so confused tt time. Nevertheless we accepted someone service at a rate of 69 bucks w/o obligation for tips and he drove us all the way to NEW YORKER HOTEL- our hotel! ITE, our tips was $1. wahahha!
Since we cant checked into the hotel, we can only get help from Eekers - Qijun, Winson and Jun ghai since they arrived a day earlier than us!! We had supper at the hotel 24hrs cafe! OMG.,..the portion of the pancakes and omelette was huge! I find it nice and worth it! It was damn good! Had interesting talk with them and we sat in a way such tt it seemed like the 6 of us were participating in a matching making session!! hahhaha...
Chit chat chit chat till around 3 plus or 4? Oh...cant remember then we went up to their rooms for the night! They tot these 3 girls cant possibly sleep outside or lobby as it was not safe, the scurity is not tt good too therefore we slept on their bed ITE! So kind of them! wahahaha...
