Dreaming of Last White Christmas

Merry Christmas peeps!! Pathetically, I spent my Christmas day sitting in front of my computer blogging and sorting out pics instead of crowding the malls like many other people. Well, it wasn't that bad after all coz completing this post was my 'christmas project'. Looking back at all these pics brought back all the memories of last Christmas...there's no such thing as 'White Christmas' here, so it's okay for me to day-dream right? Hehe!! :p

I guess this is by far my looongest post. In fact, I've been working on these pictures for months!! Pheww...finally I'm done with all 11gbs of photos that we've taken throughout the trip. We traveled a pretty good bit within the 12 days' East Coast trip --- New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Niagara Falls, Boston, Connecticut, Rhode Island, & Baltimore...Amazing!! That was definitely a lotttt of traveling and I'm glad I got to visit so many places and see so much within 2 weeks! Best of all, bro & I got to travel with mom & dad and spent Christmas & New Year together!! Sweeeet~~!!!

Picturesque winter scenery at Central Park...love it!!


Snowy scenery everywhere!!


Sunset view of Manhattan from high above...looks like Lego city huh!


Getting darker


The entire city is lit up...so cool!!


Day n' Nite




Watched George Balanchine's 'The Nutcracker' by New York City Ballet at Lincoln Center. This was totally unplanned but I didn't wanna miss it though.


We weren't allowed to take pics during the performance...and they were really strict about this!!


I've always wanted to watch a ballet performance, especially after watching the inspiring movie 'Center Stage'.


Mom & Dad finally arrived NYC after a long journey from M'sia!!
