philadelphia
i'm starting to backdate now.. since i have really not been udpating abt my life over here.. so on the 4th week that i'm over here in NYC, we visited phily, the place which houses the best business school in the world :) fortunately for my brother who had a great fren over there, i sort of got myself a guide to the place..i loved wharton and U Penn! i think it's coz it was quite different from the city campus over here at NYU.. it has a campus feeling.. where u could sit on the grass and seek inspiration from the ancient buildings of beautiful architecture.. felt like hogwarts or something haha.. and at that point in time i really wondered why i didn't choose to go overseas to study for my university career.. the amount of global banks and big names trying to court the students over there is HUGE.. as compared to back home i guess.. but then again it may also be coz of the difference in school fees we pay and hence the reputation we get..
well after campus tour we went to have phily cheese steak! super fattening! but it was good stuff really hahaha.. then we went shopping at south street which is the "bugis" of phily.. there were actually 8 of us together.. so the speed in which we were moving was kinda slow.. as i felt bad abt making my bro's fren feel like a tour guide and trying to make sure everyone was fine with everything, i sort of felt obliged and responsible in some way.. oh well i foresaw that coming actually, but no doubt we did have fun.. there are many things left undone over there though, like old city and the "orchard road" of phily.. so i most probably make another trip back there again.. ahhhh no time!
we met up with bobby and nadiah in the evening and i managed to vist the phily museum! which was among one of the things i wanted to do.. and i was brought into a very cultural world of art and history which interests me a lot.. we didn't manage to finish looking at everything in the museum coz of the lack of time and the abundance in space and information within, but i believe i enjoyed my time in there.. it totally reminded me that i have not visited a single musuem in NYC! what a failure man... haha i'll try to find time to do all that.. sigh..
dinner was great over there too.. and i totally didn't want to leave the place.. but the crowd was too huge and i guess everyone was tired.. we only managed to take the last bus back in the end though.. so we reached back only at around 1am the next morning.. i actually still had the energy to visit a party which was held in the residence hall organised by a fellow exchange student.. and then we moved up to the lounge and continued drinking till late.. quite late actually.. haha yea we do have random beer drinking sessions just among the 3 of us singaporeans :)
