    angpau : omg no comparison.. for sure the ramli burger!!

    chimpanzee : i dont know him! but he sounded latin american

    lysha : no i havent.. hmm ok will go check it out

  • Jitty · 1 year ago
    wow. never knew times square NY is so nice and happening. i like the neon McD!! =)
  • chareli · 1 year ago
    i learnt that francobollo in italian means "stamp" ! as in setem!

    HAHAHA. so cool. learning languages is so fun.

    love those photos man. makes me want to go to NY even more. boohoo. hahahaha.

    do be strong eventhough Martian has left. If so many other people can go through it, I'm sure Pinkpau can! I dunno whether I myself am a LDR person because I have never gone through it. But yeah, we're here for you!

    I should get a mooncake soon. Totally forgot about it! @_@ Can you get mooncakes in NY?
  • KY · 1 year ago
    don't lie, that's not an accidental pose! hehe

    btw mooncake is good, but do have an NY hotdog for me please
  • pinkyboo · 1 year ago
    its so cool how that random guy imitated your pose and let u take his pic. It's things like these that make new york so.......new york! I love the vibe and people there. Everyone's so crazy! Oh if u have free time on your hands, check out http://www.overheardinnewyork.com. Its so funny and it always cracks me up how crazy new yorkers are!
  • skyler · 1 year ago
    YES YOU POUT A LOT ALOT ALOT =P
  • jared t. · 1 year ago
    hey pau pau.. haha! real jealous of ur life in NYC. Am in my form 5 now. Planning to go to US and study engineering. Haih! Hope my dream can come true..

    Oh yea! Do u mix asians or americans more?
  • sheon · 1 year ago
    I LOVE NEW YORK!!!

    hahaha.....looks like soo much fun there!!! downside is it costs at least rm6k for a return flight there. and at least a week off work, and 10K to survive. none of which i can afford.
  • bryanlyt · 1 year ago
    waaaahh new york looks fun! i haven been to the US before )=
  • thegeekinpink · 1 year ago
    i love new york! it's my most favourite place in the world! ive never been though but i'm pretty sure it's my most favourite!

    glad you're feeling much better! be inspired and more spirited after all the success stories, k ;) i'm sure yours will be one too. just always always always believe... because i learnt the hard way that it's one of the most important thing to keep the love alive with so much distance between us. we just have to believe and love with all our heart and have no doubts.

    and haha the red man so layan you wan!
  • k0k · 1 year ago
    do you know that the hey there delilah song is actually... quite stalker-ish? Higgenson, who wrote the song, actually fabricated his relationship with Delilah. He once met Delilah before writing the song, asking her out for a date - but she rejected him.

    There's even a parody song referencing this. Here's a YouTube vid; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXlX5t1K6X0

    I just started a LDR too :(
  • k0k · 1 year ago
    p.s. u might want to ignore the vid and just listen to the song :D
  • Sarah · 1 year ago
    That lady in the black dress and high heels might have been a prostitute...? But that does seem like a lot of policemen just for a streetworker. Who knows..

    Anyhoo, looks like you've been having a fab time in New York! So jealous!

    xox Sarah
  • Kiran · 1 year ago
    Pinkpau,
    Looks like you jelled into the NYC lifestyle. Good for you! And the pictures are great, keep them coming and good luck in your quest to look for the perfect umbrella ;)
  • carolyong · 1 year ago
    ooh so my cousin and her husband (the genetics guy haha) did LDR for a grand total of 7 years. 7 seven qi tujuh!!! And from Kelantan to Oklahoma.. andddd to top it off, the early years were before the advent of emails/cheap idd cards. they *gasp* had to write letters! =P and could only see each other like... once a year! quote "airports become your best friend and worst enemy."

    but they got married 3 years ago =) now they're mainly based in NY, but my cousin works in Massachusetts... it's still amazing how they got through those 7 years!

    you'll be fine, pinkpau! ^^

    p.s. don't buy wellingtons/umbrellas/rainwear too soon! =P
    p.p.s i. love. LOVE. LOVE. the dress you're wearing!
    p.p.p.s actually times square is not my favorite place haha. it's just too full of.. humans. >.<
  • ah man · 1 year ago
    love #18, the pose was so hot...
  • The Faux Fashionista · 1 year ago
    Ooooo fun!!!! Agree with reader above, BUY WELLIES/UMBRELLA/TRENCH COAT!

    p.s. I told you so ;)
  • evelyn · 1 year ago
    I love New York!!!
    Capture more of the big apple for us, will you? *hugs*
  • Keong · 1 year ago
    Pic # 16 - look at the sign post "Right Lane MUST Turn Right". Damn funny.
  • Ams · 1 year ago
    Take more pics of New York.. We want you to expose the city in its entirety! Some of us might never have the privilege of being there.. EVER! dammit you're so lucky to be studying there
  • mak meleter · 1 year ago
    ohh yuh stay up past 3 am again? i wuz hoping that new york will repair ur bad m’sian time sleep pattern.. now, i suspect u’ve more than just a circadian rhythm sleep disorder. does your college offer science of sleep? a BSc in sleep might just be the thing you need or at least you can sleep through it...zzZz..makcik meleter sampai berbuih2 mulut….'sleep is not a lifestyle choice but a biological necessity'
  • kreazi · 1 year ago
    Wah that guy on the street super layan you ar! Hehehehehe.. and I like #12 not only because it's my favourite number but also the fact that your pout is almost similar to the one in the window display! Hope you're enjoying life in NY!
  • Jiayi · 1 year ago
    Heylo, my first time leaving comment here. love ur blog, like the way you write =)

    the random guy who imitated you really funny! and ended up both of you get to take photo together haha! I love the pout photo! cute =p
  • pinkshirtz · 1 year ago
    That picture in the middle of new york looks like from Heroes (Hiro nakamura) and also like a scene from malaysia dreamgirls photoshoot. Interesting ....

    Take care there ...
  • hui wen · 1 year ago
    I like picture #18 more! :P

    And omg, Times Square is EXACTLY like how it looks like in movies.. T__T
  • clem · 1 year ago
    that random guy imitating your pose is, well, for the lack of a better word, cool! always heart-warming imo when strangers are willing to interact with you in a fast-paced city.
  • nyrac · 1 year ago
    hello pau, it's so nice to read your happy posts. gives me good vibes! me super stressed now. am so stressed that i have no appetite for the many selections of mooncakes i have in me hostel and also the uber padat chocolatey brownie in the fridge :( i got assessment tomorrow! wish me luck all the way from NY k. if i pass then i finish all the mooncakes and brownies on your behalf haha.

    yea and your dress is so pretty, and i like the ala deodorant pic hehe.
  • entwined · 1 year ago
    you do pout in pics, but you look so cute doing it so don't stop! :P glad you're feeling better. if anyone can survive LDRs, i would think you and martian can, because you both are in love and matured and know what you want. :)

    NY looks exciting :D i hope to be able to go there and gawk at the lights like a jakun tourist hahaha...but first comes the hard work to earn money T___T

    the little mermaid is my favourite disney cartoon too!! must obtain a copy of it soon!
  • pinkpau · 1 year ago
    patricia : i actually prefer my mooncake yolkless, but right now i'm so desperate that i'll pretend i like yolks!

    jitty : wait till you see the neon police station.. haha

    chareli : and i learnt that stupid in italian is stupido! haha. yes i can get mooncakes here but very expensive. USD 25 per box

    KY : i knew you would say that! ya ok i will have my next hot dog for you. but actually it's not that great wan.. just simple and (relatively) cheap

    pinkyboo : haha yes i used to read overheardinnewyork! not anymore though. but now that i'm here, i may just follow it again!

    skyler : LIES!

    jared t : feel free to email me for tips and advice when you're applying! i give good tips :D well the asians here are mostly asian-american; very few asians here actually came straight from their native countries prior to college. i'm one in the small handful. so i guess that means ive been hanging out with mostly americans!

    sheon : eh if im not wrong u can find a flight that costs only 3k.. i dunno how my friend did it though. she bought from a chinatown here

    bryanlyt : me neither, prior to this trip..

    thegeekinpink : as always, you are so inspiring :) haha what you wanna see in NY? i go take photos for you

    k0k : yup i know abt the song. i heard they later went out after she realized the song was about her, but it didnt work out. or something. all the best for your LDR! :) we shall share pointers and form our little support group..

    sarah : but would they go to such lengths just to nab a prostitute? i mean like 5 of them were running past us, and another 3 were running from another street!

    kiran : hehe i will find the perfect umbrella! and i will blog about it!

    carol : walau your cousins really are super success stories! why dont buy soon? what if this week got rain =( eh is there such thing as desktop widgets for macbooks that will show me the weather?

    ah man : hahaha thank u :P

    thefauxfashionista : excuse to shop!! :D

    evelyn : i will definitely do that :)

    keong : they have funnier signs, especially the No Parking ones. "no parking except for 6-8pm on second fridays of the month, third mondays of the month and weekends". or something like that :P

    ams : i will try my best! :)

    mak meleter : hahahaha cos i had homework ma..

    kreazi : ya he very layan!

    jiayi : martian la :( force me to take :(

    pinkshirtz : heroes? hmm! was times square the place that got bombed? i dont remember liao

    hui wen : why you like his picture more :((( i thought we girls gotta stick together! oh and what the movies dont capture about times square is the smell of dog pee on the sidewalks :P

    clem : agreed :)

    nyrac : omg all the best :( pls eat something when your assessment is over!

    entwined : LIES! i dont pout :P ooh if you ever do come to NY, gimme a holler :) we'll go out. and watch little mermaid the musical!!!
  • carolyong · 1 year ago
    pinkpau press f12 to bring up your dashboard which should already have a weather widget built in. "+" will give you more widget options. http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/ for more nifty widgets you can download!

    you have unboxed it! did you take photos?!
  • Fu Han · 1 year ago
    Do you know how jealous I am of you! Like all I get to see is the Law Quad. And uhh... Target.
  • yosie · 1 year ago
    i bet i can tell u how much it costs to put an ad in times square.. cuz we had to do research for work ;)
  • martian · 1 year ago
    i think i had so much american food that i'm od'ing on local food now.
  • Michelle · 1 year ago
    Sigh. New York. A city of dreams.

    It's so cool. You're staying on Broadway. If there's one place I would love to go, it would be NY.

    :D

    Get a huge umbrella if the wind's strong. In Melbourne, brollies are a necessity. The weather here is freaking weird. The winds can break your brollies, those retractable ones of course.
  • Artificially Tamtim · 1 year ago
    Avenue Q ftw of favouritest broadway musical. Will catch Wicked in Dec but it'll have to put up a damn good fight if it wants to take away the title of best Broadway musical released in the last 10 years. Sorry... but hairspray just doesn't cut it for me.

    Come to London in Dec and we'll catch Les Miz!!!
  • june · 1 year ago
    trust me, the little mermaid will definitely be the best. it's Disney after all! i'm a little biased cos i'm a cast member of Disney, and coincidentally in Walt Disney Entertainment! okay, i guess that's very biased. but hey, don't we all love Disney? and it's the year of a million dreams :D
  • foreverjas · 1 year ago
    i love new york lahhh. i wanna go! broadway! *admire*
    all the best and take care! u and martian can do it! dun worry!!!!!!
  • grace / doen en :) · 1 year ago
    haha sabrett? they are EVERYWHERE. the novelty kind of wears off really fast, esp when you begin to find better hot dogs. like papaya's - only the BEST hot dog place ever in manhattan :D
  • nickie · 1 year ago
    su ann you'll love Wicked! must watch!!! :)))
  • gin · 1 year ago

    I like photo #16
  • nnyleus · 1 year ago
    I love your pictures!!! May I ask what camera you use? Plus your night shots don't blur. How? Please tell me the secret to clear night shots besides steady hands. o.O
    Thanks!
  • vvens · 1 year ago
    why is their mcdonald so cool one? :(
  • michellesy · 1 year ago
    Looks like you're having a great time in the Big Apple Su Ann!

    But then I knew you would, something about you being you, and your affinity for a big city with a cosmopolitan vibe (can it get any more cosmopolitan than NY I ask you!)

    #16 is completely surreal - does it not look like a scene out of the inumerable movies featuring Times Square front and center?

    As for #12, yes you do have that whole Brigitte Bardot pout thing going - unconsciously maybe hahah!

    ps: You and Martian are going to be fine. Really. Truly. I know that you being in NY does not equate to him being in Sing/ HK, but if you want to be together, you guys will make it happen *hugs* Meanwhile, skype and webcamming sessions we come, damn the time difference hahaah!

    pps: You're not going to write for any papers? Really? But that would be such a waste, no? Or do you have too much on your plate already?
  • kellster · 1 year ago
    it wold be redundant if i were to write just how gorgeous the sights are there !

    *jealous*

    but i do want to exclaim i adore the mcds !

    most importantly babe , be strong. really it's tough but i know you can pull it through, love :)
    it'll be tough the first few months, but im sure with your heart, you'll settle right in and everyone would love u!

    btw, woman, im going to get ur addie from msn yea.
    might have surprise package coming . who knows? *looks away*

    too bad I cannot mail MOONCAKES :p
    nyahahaha

    <3
  • yanagi · 1 year ago
    hey. I'm also in a LDR with my bf, its hard but i think skype really helps =)

    and after a while, u will kind of get use to it although u will still want to curse and swear at other couples =D

    enjoy =D
  • Simon Seow · 1 year ago
    Yes. You pout a lot. You pouted in almost all of the pics I took of you.
  • Chen Chow · 1 year ago
    Great to see that you are really enjoying NYC!!! Am sure you would have a lot more interesting experience as time goes by... :)

    On your LDR, I'm sure if both of you put the efforts together, it will turn out fine and great. Just have the strong belief in both of you! Wish you luck!!!

    Your photos of NYC really make me miss it... Time is so flying...just counting, I have left NYC for 40 months already...shoot...time just flies by so fast..
    Enjoy!
  • wenqi · 1 year ago

  • vialentino · 1 year ago
    nice NY pics....make me envy nya
  • k · 1 year ago
    Hi Su Ann,

    Your bit about LDRs really hit a chord. I've been in one for the past two years and counting, and the last time I saw him was 1.5 years ago. It's not been easy but I believe that you have to want it bad enough for it to work... and seems like you and Martian do :)

    All the best, and love New York with all your heart! I studied there for a while and it was truly amazing.
  • =) · 1 year ago
    omg..NY looks so so good! Been thinking of going for Xmas and NYE and this post just makes me want to go NOW! Love the little mermaid and musicals too! MUST go!! Hope you have loads of fun there! and take the LDR one step at the time.. was in a LDR 4 years ago and we're still together now...if that helps. ;)

    BTW, Love the accidental pose!
  • chin · 1 year ago

    WHY NOBODY COMMENT ABOUT DEBATING ONE! I WAITED BUT NO ONE COMMENTED T__T
  • winsern · 1 year ago
    how much electricity does time square consume a night?
  • Chen Chow · 1 year ago
    So typically andrew...lol....

    I would say that while the format is different, it is quite fun.....I din have much experience debate in US, except took 1 semester's course on Debating...

    Was quite enjoying it, but for me, it was just used as a practice to learn how to speak English...lol... I can't remember what grade I got for that course though...A-/B+ or so...

    I did that too when i was at Raffles. That time my English is even more koyak. So, basically just jot down those words that I barely understand, and then go home and check dictionary, and found some words, and some I would never know what they speak, since I jot down based on sounds that I understand... hehehe... quite memorable too...

    on debate, ask Andrew.. :)
