The most uneventful day in Manhatten

The motivation to blog is odd this time. It's cos it's so usual that i almost definitely will forget this when i arise tomorrow.
The day started early because J was leaving for home. We didn't sleep at all. He was busy with packing, loading the new ipod and basically doing the last minute bits. 5am we left the Bronx for JFK Terminal 4, where he successfully checked in about 100kg of luggage with no extra charge. He had a total of 3 hand-carry pieces, but he didn't attract any attention. After checking in, we went to Macs where he took his last American macs breakfast, M had her McGriddle, D his hash browns with jam. And me? the usual hot chocolate. I love Macs here.

We followed J visually all the way as he cleared the security checks, which was particularly tedious for him as he had lots of luggage, a laptop that always calls for extra scrutiny and u have to remove shoes. Upon witnessing that, i've decided that i'l be wearing flip flops to the airport when i leave.

Bye J. Manhatten does feel weird without u. D and i are a lot quieter. hee.

M, D and i returned to the Bronx where we took a longer nap than we had planned. Headed to Chinatown at 2pm where M had her US$25 haircut at Pell Street. She looks great. Nice, cropped fringe with well trimmed tresses around the face.

We then trotted around the Hong Kong-like Chinatown for a bit. Had hot ginger tea and $0.70 Po Lo Buns with Red Bean filling. Nice.

We dropped by Bloomingdale's to kill time before dinner. Bloomingdale's is an extremely well-organised departmental store. Slightly more classy than Macy's. Way too pricey for M and I. Moreover, i really don't need to buy any more things.

Then we proceeded to Spring Street where we walked into random shops that sold pricey, second-hand vintage items. Then we went to queue for a table at the Hole in the Wall Jap restaurant. M's Malaysian friends joined us. Joanne, Chanyi, Candy and Elaine. All 7 of us spent a grand total of US$54 at the restaurant. Average food with average ambience with average service. Extremely forgettable stuff.

Then we headed home. Home in the Bronx.

Tomorrow will be another relaxing day. Walking the streets downwards from Grand Central. Hope to walk more. So that i can burn the crazy amounts of food and hot chocolate i'm consuming. =)
