oops i realised i havent blog finish our USA trip. hahahaha.
day 5 is the most awesome shopping trip! for all the previous days we never even shop at all. today we are going to the famous WOODBURY premium outlets, where all the stuff there are sold at warehouse prices!
you need to take a coach to woodbury, and it cost 40 USD per person. yes is super expensive. the coach company that i chose cost 37 USD per peson, and it also gives a booklet of discount coupons at almost all the shops at woodbury!
darling spent most of her time at this two places:
dun worry, we didnt see this kind of crowd when we went. this pic was taken during Black Friday.
this was what we saw on that day. hahahahahaha.
darling bought alot of stuff at coach and kate spade, not just for herself, but also for her colleagues, friends, family members and relatives. i bought a bag for my mum too! and the discount coupons came in handy! there is a 10% discount for kate spade bags! awesome lahhhh~
and this is the place that i went crazy! there was a crazy sale and i bought lots of stuff! :p
after woodbury we went to times square again for more shopping.
times square is really an amazing place with so much vibrance and so much energy. although i will prefer it if there's lesser pple. haha.
check out the poster that i designed!
i sent it to the whole sch and batman immediately replied me, said that it is very nice and tell me to use it as the backdrop for the performance. :)
he actually won the best dressed upper sec male student! hahahahaha.
to refresh your memory:
ok let's go back to passion 2014.
so fast she sec 4 already... time really flies!
she was in my form class in 2011 and 2012, when she was sec one and two! haiz i feel so old. 岁月不饶人。。。
outcome? i got the best dressed teacher award. hahahahahahaha. all thanks to nuscd for purchasing the costume, and all thanks to a special someone for keeping the costume until so well. i shall not mention who just in case the current wardrobe mistress hunt the special someone down for the costumes.
after so many months of intense preparations and training, B-Dazzled 2014 was finally concluded.
this year, the songs that we performed are SOS and Monster, both by Rihanna. and we got Diamond Award (equivalent to SYF Certificate of Distinction), 2nd place among 13 schools, and Outstanding Choreography Award. a big thank you to my vocal and dance instructors, for putting in so much time and effort! not to forget my two teacher partners, as well as my kids who really performed all out with their heart and soul. :)
this year we have make-up artistes from sg poly to help my show choir kids do the make-up! we also have two professional hairstylists to help the kids with their hair-do. a super big thank you to my creative director/vocals instructor for arranging this!
from left to right: teacher in-charge 2011/2012, teacher in-charge 2013/2014/2015, teacher in-charge 2016 onwards! hahahahaha.
after the performance! everyone was so happy and so relieved that it was finally over!
my president. a brilliant soloist and a brilliant dancer. she is our saving grace. she brought everyone back on key, thanks to her outstanding vocals. my vocals instructor said without her, we would have died.
and my vice-president, also a brilliant soloist and can dance very well too. she was in wushu in primary school! hahahahaha.
last but not least, i must not forget to thank the supporters for coming down to nus ucc to support us! special mention goes to xiaoyun and wilson for watching us for the very first time. and the most special mention goes to my pillar of support who is none other than my darling! :) :) :)
B-Dazzled 2014 is happening on sunday! feeling super competitive and super excited. :)
a great video to summarise World Cup 2014.
i remembered that during World Cup 2010, i watched some of the matches with ang hw at our hotel in hong kong. the brotherhood went to shanghai (for that crazy overpopulated world expo), shenzhen and hong kong during the june hols.
for World Cup 2014, i watched most of the matches in canada and USA with darling. the good thing about being in canada and USA during that period is that we can watch the matches in EARTHLY hours of 12 pm, 4 pm and 6 pm! we watched these matches in our hotel rooms, on the jetblue flight, at the hotel lobby, at restaurants, and at cheryl's new york apartment. such convenience. :)
manuel neuer. what an outstanding keeper.
mario gotze, the goalscorer!
congrats germany! the 10 year project to develop soccer players really pay off! singapore can nv do something like that... our parents are too pragmatic and do not dare to take the risk to send their children to play football or any sports at the professional level. :(
it is the museum day for day 4. we lined up visits to metropolitan museum of art and museum of natural history.
the museum is opened at 10 am. we reach there at 945 am and there is already a long queue...
when we are finally inside, we concluded that this place was too atas for us, and we rather save some money on good food rather than view the arty farty exhibits. so off we go, to proceed to the next location, the museum of natural history.
we definitely could relate more to museum of natural history, thanks to ben stiller's Night At The Museum.
we combed the whole museum looking for her but couldnt find her!
did this red indian appear in the movie?
i remember this! it was eating bubble gum in the movie!
this was a piece of a meteorite that crashed onto planet earth on dunno which year.
i forgot what this is but it looks like the sacred cube that appeared in the movie Transformers.
this is TOPAZ! the yellow colour precious stone. i was the Topaz House Master in 2011! until it changed to Turais from 2012 until now.
our dinner was at Flex Mussels, that cheryl highly recommended. from the name of the restaurant, you can guess that the restaurant is famous for its mussels. mussels were really good, and the broth that the mussels were cooked in was simply delicious. we slurped every bit of the broth, without leaving a single drop.
the calamari platter!
darling it seems that their signature dessert is donuts! we should have tried it! looks good isnt it? :p
more pics that were taken at Serendipity 3, the cafe at New York.
the 3 colleagues + 1 ex colleague!
apple crumple
new york cheese cake
it is crazy to finish this milk shake by yourself! luckily darling and i shared this.
