Be a 1-Day New Yorker Tour Guide/Tourist!


It was a wonderful Saturday morning, nice suNny dAy!

I was so excited to meet up with my friends from Des Moines; Shobana, Esther, Muhe, Shze Yeong, Nicholas and a new friend, Soo Jen, from UNL! They will be staying at Crown Brownstone Hostel which is located at Brooklyn, for the next few days.

Well...I really enjoyed travel around NYC with them. I enjoyed being a little NYC tour guide for the small group of friends. I could only say that I am an inexperience tour guide, and I only based on what I have been through when I first visited NYC three years ago.

I am so sorry to lead them a wrong direction to the Malaysian Restaurant. I made a mistake between the name of the restaurants. I thought "Sentosa" Restaurant is the one that I go for breakfast every Saturday morning. Who knows the real name of the restaurant is - Oversea Asian Restaurant (食为天)!! However, I am glad to see their satisfaction smiling faces. I know it has been a while not being able to enjoy the Malaysian Food in Des Moines. That's the reason why I decided to bring them to the Malaysian Restaurant as for their first Malaysian Breakfast in NYC! We ordered Nasi Lemak, Curry Mee, Asam Laksa, some Chinese Cuisine, and last but not least, our favorite - Iced Milo! That's just so yummy! Thanks to all my friends who bought me such a delicious breakfast!

After breakfast, it is time to begin our journey!

Our first stop was Museum of Sex. To be honest, I did not know where this museum is, what is showing in the museum, until I travel to the Museum with my friends last Saturday. It is located at W27th Street (5th Ave), Manhattan.
It is not a really grand museum as expected, but it does include something for everyone besides kids/youngsters below 18. It is divided into three galleries: Accessories/tools Gallery, Action Gallery (movies/video clip), and lastly, the little sex tools/arts/accessories/drawings/photos gallery. There are nice old to modern sex movies/video clips. There was a video clip showing many different ways of having sex...Besides the three galleries, there is also a gift shop downstairs. I found some cute and flavored condoms, yet I did not buy them at the end. In conclusion, it was an Interesting Sex Education trip!

Moved onto 34th Street (Herald Square) - I love Macy's Spring Window Display very much! They have great and creative window display designers! Their Spring window display was inspired by floral. A fabric big button works as the stigma, and drapes as the petals - combined as the background of the window display. Also, it is used to featuring the new Spring Fashion. Brilliant idea! Good job for those involved!

42nd Street - Times Squeare -will never miss this out!
As usual, it is always crowded and the busiest place in the city.
We stopped by M&M for some sweet treats! Guess what I got....??! I found my name's stickers!!! Yeah!

It is so cute...my little stickers book.



Finally, NBC Studio Tour was the last stop before I leave for home.
Haha...time to visit the scenes behind the screen. It is always interesting to know how things work out behind the screen and it is a good chance to learn more about the National Broadcasting Company which located at Rockefeller Center. Although I am not too enthusiastic about the history/story given by the tour guide, I do appreciate his time and effort to keep entertaining us and giving information to us.


Oh...I miss my scones and rice krispy!!! Thank you, Shze Yeong, Muhe, Nicholas, Shobana, Esther and especially Sandy, and Randy!!! Thank you very much!! I really enjoy them, LOVE them! Miss having fresh giant cookies too =)

I am so tired by the time I reached home...zZzzzZZzz...Good Night.
