Okay first, I’m actually a person who’s pretty fond of solitude. Of course I enjoy time out too, but as I’ve alluded to previously, a lot of the time I’m my own best company.
The thing about travelling alone is that I guess you have no say about the company at all. It’s just you. Which [...]

When I was planning my trip up to Canada from New York, I decided I wanted to take the train instead of flying or the bus. I’m not a fan of the bus because it’s cramped and I need to use the toilet often, and flying is almost six times more expensive.

So here I [...]

Breakfast!
So while deciding what to do today I found out that the Lion King has two shows today: one at 2pm and one at 8pm. Shouldn’t be too hard to get tickets, right? Wrong.

(oh my God why is my face the bloody frozen preview screenshot)

Anyway since I was at the comic shop on 40th Street, [...]

No I didn’t find Meepok in New York (though I think if I really wanted to I probably could), but this is one of my few attempts at doing a Meepok post (ie a “how my day went/what I did today” post) to amuse everyone and maybe embarrass me.
So my day started at 6:30am because [...]

I’m finally off the plane and in New York! Gosh it’s amazing to be here in summer! It’s so hot today it practically feels like Singapore. But it’s really surreal to be walking around in jeans and a t-shirt when all my previous visits (all three of them) were in winter with at least three [...]

Here’s a little backstory: Chloe’s been a friend of mine for the last.. almost 10 years. We have weirdass quirks and mutually embarrassing moments shared between us. Here’s the latest amusing exchange:
chloe; says:
oh and my dad is buying tic on the same flight as you!
chloe; says:
still the same as the one you gave me right?
chloe; [...]

Again from How I Met Your Mother, Ted’s girlfriend is leaving for Germany and they have one day left.
Marshall: “Ted, think about it this way, if you knew you were losing your leg tomorrow, would you sit on the couch and cry about it, or would you run and jump and do some awesome air [...]

Again, pure genius from How I Met Your Mother:

Mark: “Robin, I don’t get the sense you like being with me.”
Robin: “I like being with you!”
Mark: “Not as much as you like being alone. You like eating your own food, sleeping in your own bed, doing your own crosswords.”
Robin: “Well who uses ink!”
*silence*
Robin: “Sorry. Okay I’m [...]

Saturday started with Social Media Breakfast 3 and then Sam’s 21st party happened at night, so I picked up Mr. Lazyass Johnny and headed to her new place at Thompson. So  we were the first to arrive (damn we’re punctual people, and was immediately the test subject of Steph and her new Nikon D40.

I’m newly hooked on How I Met Your Mother (yes, I’m slow), and here was a quote from an episode I watched yesterday:
“When you’re single, all you’re looking for is happily ever after. But only one of your stories can end that way. The rest end with someone getting hurt.”
And since statistically, the chances of [...]
