First day of work wasnt bad at all! It was really interesting and i met many nice and very friendly people in the office! They are super laid back and the working environment isnt stressful at all. I like =) I even have my own work place and was at one point tempted to log onto msn to chat with David. HaHa.
Basically today was orientation for me. I was brought to different departments to be introduced and was shown around. Didnt realized my company was pretty big until i was brought to the auditorium and the gym room which was located on the fifth floor.
One thing that worries me about this job is that i am required to do alot of paperwork (set developmental goals with clients, develop an individualized family/child plan addressing family and child needs, etc), write reports after each session with my client, assess child developmental status, provide families with appropriate referrals and more paperwork to do T.T I admit im quite overwhelmed by the workload but im confident that I will get the hang of it very soon. This is what i always wanted to do and now that i have the opportunity, i will not waste it!
Okay, im pretty sleepy already. Hope tomorrow will be as wonderful or better than today.
I decided to visit Madeleine Patisserie after looking at the very good reviews they received.
The sight of all the colorful macarons will blow your mind! There are seriously tons of flavors to choose from. I had a really hard time picking my macarons *swt*
This is the type of cafe i love- very cozy and beautifully appointed. When i stepped into the cafe, i thought i was in Paris for a few seconds.
I've been searching for that Eiffel Tower poster for some time. Thought of hanging it up in my bedroom. Anyone know where i could get it? ...besides Paris.
Tadaaa! These were the ones that i picked out of the many. Passion fruit, Apricot with mixed berries, chocolate and raspberry. The food was served on a doily on a nice silver platter--So French. I ♥ it!!
The outside of this pastry is delicately crisp, the inside is smooth, creamy and light, filling is luscious. It tastes like umm.. a combination of cake, icecream and very light cookie. wtf. ignore me. 
I only sampled four flavors because it's ridiculously pricey. It's $2.50 for a tiny macaron (about 1.5 inch in diameter), literally one bite. Well, i think its worth the try though *grin*
Mom thinks Payard is better and said Payard is much more expensive *cry*. I however have not been to Payard before so cant compare.
After tea, we took a trip to Grace Church since sister said it's ridiculously pretty -_- Well, i think it looks like any other ordinary Catholic churches except that it was build 200 years ago. She claimed that it looks like a mini Hogwarts. lols.
Mom brought sister to Rockefeller since she hasn't been there before. As usual, that place was crowded with tourists from all over the world. 
We had our dinner in one of the famous japanese shops located at Japanese Street called Oh!Taisho. If you are thinking about sushi and sashimi then you are wrong. OH! Taisho is well known for their yakitori. Hmm..thinking of it makes me salivate. The food was as great as usual and most importantly, the food is decently priced. 
That's the entrance to the flea martket. Most of the vendors started packing when we reached.
This flea market sells alot of vintage things like clothing, jewelry,cameras, furnitures, you name it and they have it there! They even have vintage signs! Most of the things are reasonably priced and if you posses great endurance and have time to search around, i'm sure you will definitely come up with gold. As for me, i wasnt that lucky. I uhhh...just bought a ring. fml.
Sister bought a white wool beret. It looks good on her, not me for sure. David bought himself a money clip. Dont have a picture of it but im sure all money clips look the same.
When we reached Hell's Kitchen, mom was extremely hungry. So she suggested that we should eat before we shop. We dined in a nearby restaurant, 
Very unsatisfied with their service tho. I bought a Venti Iced Coffee from Starbucks before that and i had less than 10 sips. The waiter doesnt allow me to put it on the table hence he put my coffee away at the bar and PROMISED and reassured me that they will keep it. When we finished, i asked him back for my precious coffee, and he told me that the bartender threw it away! wtf. You have no idea how mad i was! Its not about the money, its about the principle! ugh. That's him on the left in the picture.
We watched Bruno and The Hangover. Both were freaking hilarious!!! I like The Hangover more than Bruno eventhough both were equally good. One thing nice about watching movies here in the US is that movies will not be censored at all in theaters. How nice is that?? Anyway, i strongly recommend to watch those two movies. Its a must. You will regret if you dont. Oh wait, if you have to choose one, then ill say watch The Hangover since Bruno will be censored like hell in Msia. I like the quote Bruno made about Osama bin Laden. "Your king Osama looks like a dirty wizard or a homeless santa claus" LMFAO.
Saw a pink limousine on the road at Times Square. Reminds me of Paris Hilton who owns a pink Bentley that i want so badly.
This is how Times Square looks like on a Saturday night. Apparently, it looks like New Year's Eve every Saturday night here. Very interesting eh?
"ObamaCondoms are strong enough to withstand the most rigid assault, light enough to penetrate the deepest trenches, AND they’re Oprah approved!* not really" Should have gotten some and mail it back to my girlfriends back in Msia. Im sure they will appreciate that. lol
After movie, we made a trip to 
. graduated from Stony Brook University on May 22nd 2009 with a Summa Cum Laude. After all the sleepless nights and having a nerdy attitude, I finally achieved it. Not a bad thing after all. My grandma and sister (Kah Yan) flew to the States to attend my graduation ceremony. They spent a month here and i must say we (mom, david and i) did a fantastic job as tour guides. Brought them everywhere a tourist should have gone and had them try most of the famous food in NY. So, if any of you plan to visit NY, you should know what to do. If you dont, then I feel sorry for you.
. The person whom i came to the States with two years ago and whom i spent most of my time with decided to choose to work in Malaysia over spending her life with me here in NY. Le sigh. My life in NY wouldnt be as fun and crazy without her here. She's like my other half. We used to sleep in the same room together, take the same train to school together, take the same classes together, go shopping together, study till the sun rise together, work in the same place together, and more! There was once she accidently opened the bathroom door and saw me taking a crap in the bathroom. FML. Damn, the more i write, the more i miss her presence! I misssschhh you, Lee Cheng!! (Hows life in Msia without me? mine is Bad)
. My youngest sister had just immigrated to the States. I wish i could have a greencard like her. She's currently my new shopping mate. Not a bad thing having a younger sister after all =)
