Im in new york now and its 8.38am here as i type. In malaysia, its 8.38pm. 12 hours different. And so, try imagine how mixed up my sleeping hours are... well i got up at 5am NY time today, as i slept at 8 last night, too bloody tired.. but, manage to go shopping first, as soon as touched down here.

this is my third time in 2 months going to new york. It seems that during summer, koreans just love to travel around, especially to America. Cos korean air scheduled 2 flights per day to new york and guess what? Every damn flight are full. Oh my god... are they so rich? as they dont travel alone our only couples but families.. some even afford business class for their whole damn family! how rich are they??!

Well, as i know, korea cost of living is high.. i remember my instructor told us once, when we were learning korean numbers, an apartment cost 200, 000, 000 won (bout RM800 000) and its a very small apartment, something like hdb flats in Singapore. But the other day my purser told me, he wanted to get a second home plan in Malaysia but he gave up as kl home is expensive. huh?

i believe korea is more expensive. getting a condo here is maybe rm500, 000? and its CONDO. not hdb. and he said its expensive? hmm... really dunno what are they thinking.. even shopping in klcc is expensive for them, well i couldn't argue that, cos maybe they only walk around the higher floors, they should have gone to concourse level where stuffs are cheaper... than those luxurious brands on the top floor...

oh well.. i guess thats all for now.. will be flying back to korea tonight, so shouldn't waste anytime here... going to whitman's mall, a shopping center 20 mins from this hotel. Though been here 3 times, i never had the chance yet to go to the mall before. The first time, flew with a 9 years senior, and she just refuse to go out, and left me, all alone, not daring to venture out alone. the second time, another senior wanted to go to a warehouse instead, so plans to the mall was canceled. So i must go this time, as since this time im with candice, my "tungi" (same training batch) and i'll not be flying here next month as my schedule said IM GOING LA!! woohoo!! bye!!
