"Museum Day"

I think what the hunger games trilogy confers is a story of hope, that people power will eventually override the over-stifling clutches of some governments. It kind of strikes a chord in my heart.
But who would be so brave as to take on the role of Katniss- promises of not becoming one of the pieces that the government the government which manipulates them and turns them against one another. And that sacrifice that she is willing to take on her loved ones albeit involuntarily could we ever handle that
Just a thought. Although I'm content with life right now as it is.
Having a hangover because this is the first night I'm not reading THG trilogy on my bed. I love this bed though, it's so soft you literally sink into the pillows

Today I realised the subway is the bane of my trip here. Ok it's iconic but to be honest it's grungy and smells like disinfectant used in toilets black unknown fluffy fungus hangs down the low ceilings and sometimes the floor is wet for reasons unknown, the worst part is that they are no escalators and my feet just kills me. Ok cut the self-absorbed bit.
And can't help but imagine some monster emerging from the dark shadows of the tunnel like an alligator or a swarm of cockroaches. The part in Mockingjay when the star squad used the underground network to get closer to Snow's mansion where they were met with human-lizard mutt hybrids also scare me.
Visited the Empire State Building today. Love the piercing wind against my cheeks. I mean no kidding. The city line is phenomenal, kind of like CSI:NY except that all of it is real

• Get good food then head back home

P.s: is it normal to determine your self worth based on idk, everything but yourself?? Answers needed

Sadly I love it here

Although it was rainy and such today. Went to souvenir shops and was at St. Pat's Cathedral. I figured I might as well listen a little bit more intently to father's homily because every thing was right, like ambience-wise, hehe good for listening. It was a bit painful though, about the shootings rocking this nation yet I feel quite distanced from it; the lack of newspapers I guess
Times Sq was a rainy but beautiful affair. It wasn't as spectacular as I'd imagined- it would be if contrasted against the black night sky. But the billboards were already flashing neon lights and vying for consumers' eyes, even in the morning. And I felt I was alw gna be attacked by Godzilla or towers crashing down on to the city streets and the Avengers swooping down to the rescue. Then at F21 at Times Sq, a giant screen like a real life video feed where they have speech bubbles for the group of passers-by walking by. Cos Ericca's jacket was luminous pink, the big screen had a giant snapshot of us albeit blurry. It was cute ☺

Shopping today

Reading the climax of THG makes me sad. Am on to Catching Fire! I need spoilers ☺
Well all these are self induced. I should stop soon

It's cold here

Greetings from New York! All I've seen so far are endless unpainted brick walls and biting cold weather bc I don't have thermals on.
Silence

Today was slightly better & p.s. Chris Hemsworth is growing on me btw, every time I open camera roll his face will be there. NOOOO I only think he looks like a monkey there because of the hair!! I forgot what it is called.
• I can hear the subway rumbling from under the hotel
• I am in Chinatown where all I see and hear are Chinese people w weird accents I think honkie. And needless to say Homo sapiens w sharp pointed noses
• The subway is not as pretty as it's turned out to be, there's really just black fungus hanging from the low ceilings. I always get the feeling I'm about to tumble onto the tracks because the platform is narrow esp when it gets to the rush hour. Although one thing I love about the subway is the kindness of the people!! The old lady told the other lady she was "the best" bcus young lady gave up her seat for her. Somehow I just can't imagine such a moment to ever occur in MRT trains. Are we just a conservative bunch or..
• I swear the cup for $1 McDonald's iced tea is close to 1 litre. Food is fast big and cheap here, go figure!!
• The coldness burns my cheeks
• I think the reason why Chinese love to buy luxury goods here is cos it's a super mega good deal and not cos we're more affluent?!? Illusions!!
• American series don't fool you. The negroes really speak with sass and I think I heard a sales lady hum to herself. I didn't know why a choir lady was making a living at Macy's
• I wish someone would tell me what to do. Anyway I haven't camwhored with my brother

Shake it off I think I'm just making it hard for myself.

Going to sound cliche saying this but I wish we can waste time here together!!! To whoever is reading this
