32 degrees & screaming kids

My eyes popped open at 9am today. Room was kinda stuffy and i was parched. Got a cup of water & i plopped down on the sofa & went back to dream-land.....until the landlord's kids were like screaming and shouting outside the door and along the stairwell. #@!#@%#%$#$

Thai food for lunch around Astoria and then it's on my own again. Where shall i go today? There is a 3 story Barnes & Nobles in Chelsea. Got a map of the main sights in downtown NY. I want to visit them all!

Tried to head for the Strand Bookstore @ Union Sq but i missed the station and tried to walk there. Got distracted many many times on the way and ended up in Chinatown instead!! ARGH!! Oh well, but i had a good time walking though. Lots of human traffic as well as cars..The honking and shouting and colourful profanities sure added to the NYC atmosphere!

Saw an old church upon surfacing from the sub station. It's called Grace Chruch. It's in teh process of restoration to preserve the marble and interior. It's really old. There was a holiday concert going on while i was there.

Visited the NYU Bookstore. Their school colours are purple and white. Nope, didn't see the Olson twins - they must be out drinking and having a typical NYU freshie lifestyle.

Walked more & took pictures of some sights that didn't turn out that great. Bummer. Got a nice snapshot of the famous DKNY wall mural though. Looks great! Now if only i had someone with me to take a picture for me. *sigh* It's funny how the Wendy's looks snazzy in Broadway, as compared to the other Wendy's i've been to. Basically, that area where i alighted the sub is mainly a NYU hub. There are lots of NYU buildings scattered around that area.

It was really cold today, but not as cold as last night. Tomorrow, it is supposed to snow a little. Let's see how accurate the weatherman is.

Oh yeah, saw a Jesus action figure. Hilarious! There was also a Beethovan, Mozart,Shakesphere and other famous historical figures. Check out the picture above!

On the way home, i heard this asian and black lady who were in a verbal squabble. Wow. That asian was sure fierce. Her voice was so loud too! Kinda feel sorry for the black girl but i have no idea what the squabble was abt though. The asian was throwing profanities in the black girl's face and insulting her. The black tried to retaliate but her voice was much softer and you could so tell that she was embaressed. At one point the asian kept saying shut up and finally she went: " Talk to the hand." Man! I really pity the guy that was sandwiched between them both. Poor thing! He was initally leaning forward when the verbal abuse was going on. There was a slight pause and he thought that it was safe to lean back against the seat and that was when the whole thing started again. Haha..so he leaned forward again and shook his head. By this time, pple in the train were staring and looking (including me!) and laughing.. *sigh* all i can say is that there are Yankees who are nice and there are Yankees who are total morons.

Will be staying in and having dinner & a movie from blockbuster. Bought Roast Pork from Chinatown and fresh Soymilk too! Dim Sum tmw..so that makes the 6th time i will be in chinatown in 6 days.

Alrighty..time to wash up and change into comfy clothes and wait for food!
