Wish I wasn't going alone though...boo.
Met up with Kei today (like finally!) and it was probably a good thing she wanted to confirm the date. Cos I thought we were meant to meet up last Sunday night and had messaged to cancel cos I extended my stay in Philly....and she had thought we were meeting tomorrow night....and then when I said I wanted to go to Chinatown to check out the festivities, I meant today...but she thought it was Monday (when it was actually CNY). So....we finally got to meet! haha
Good fun...she told me there was a JCrew sample sale...so off we went! There was like a massive queue outside the building (looks like some dodgy old office building...) but the queue moved quite fast (thank goodness...cos it was FREEZING outside). Once we get in, we have to navigate the narrow stairs and manoeuvre around the people leaving the sale. Once we get upstairs, we queue up for the coat check, and head on in! Unfortunately nothing caught my fancy (or hers)...so we left fairly quickly. As we left the building, the security guy (who monitors the queue and lets people in) was having this argument with some guy in the queue...and was like "YOU ARE NOT GETTING INTO THIS BUILDING!" *cue angry man shouting some response* "COS I AM IN CHARGE HERE AND I GET TO DECIDE WHO GETS IN...AND YOU'RE NOT!"...*more angry shouting from man in queue*...haha this was quite amusing indeed.
Took a subway to Soho but realise a few stops down that we were going the wrong way. So we hop off and cross the platform to catch another train back....it was COLD. The wind...brrr...
Gets dark, so I suggest we head back uptown to Times Square, where we walk around a bit...then I suggest we take a photo with some NYPD officers...who were more than happy to oblige. When I asked "who's going to take the photo?", one of the officers yells out to a random across the way to come over....when the perplexed man does, the officer is like "can you take a photo of us with the ladies here". Haha, too funny. The kind man obviously doesn't refuse the officer and takes a couple of shots for us. I should post it up...but it's late and I'm lazy. Maybe later :)
After Kei returns to her home (in New Jersey)...she tells me that there's a Cole Haan sample sale which started today...and would have been good....but she didn't check her emails! So I might go down and check out the sale tomorrow morning. Hope I wake up early though...have work to do (been rather slack the past week...cos have been feeling very tired...probably cos of the flu :(...) and also have to be ready for the concert at night!
Hmm...was planning to go to bed like 2 hours ago, but got distracted by TV (TruTV is awesome! hahaha...world's dumbest criminals and speedsters...) and the family called too.
Happy Moo year to all!
