Day 2

En darling, it's BRITA. not Rita. *LOLOL*

On other things, I guess i've officially become the detail blogger ^^ So i shall live oup to my name *lol* In point form, cos i'm kinda tired (only waiting for my hair to dry *ho hum*)

1. woke up ealy, went to the Natural History Musuem. Had a simple breakfast of bagle and cream cheese and cofffee before trooping over to the main entrance to meet up with Andre, Chris and Aaron. Anyway. In short, MUSEUM WAAAAY COOL. We visited the dinosaur exhibit, and learnt alot of things on locomotion and neck stiffness and bone structure evolution. Super cool ^^ Saw many many life-sized moounted fossils, so with a leetle bit of imagination you could actually imagine a huge diplodocus towering over you, while behind you a T-Rex is frozen in motion giving chase. COOOOOL! The sheer number of specimens was amazing. One of my favourites is the new birdlike dinosaur found in china, called the Confuciusornis. *ROTFL* well, obviously someone ran out of names. *LOL* it's real cute, it's like a cute white puffin with two long trailing feather things. So funny XD Also saw a cool triceratops skulll and a very very cool fossil of a moose ancestor. The antlers were very impressive! Also saw some cool taxidermy exhibits (vic wennt nuts there...up till then she was singign the taxidermy song from the moment she walked out of the house O_o *haha*) In the ocean life exhibit, in particular, there were lots of interesting tidbits of information on deep sea life. My favourite was the one on male angler fish latching onto females: their insides degenerate and their mouthparts fuse into the body of the female, so eventually they become merely sacs of sperms for the female's disposal. *ROTFL* talk about fatal attraction....*snicker*

2. lunch at a small cafe called teriyaki boy. DAMN GOOD salmon sushi. And the price was good too. ^^

3. walked over to the empire state building and proceeded to torture ourselves with 90 min of queuing to reach the top for the view *lol* It was a nice view, luckily. We managed to just catch the last few minutes of sunset. So it wasn't a total gone case *lol*

4. dinner at The Harrison. >GORGEOUS food. ^^ Wonderful wonderful food (pictures insert here NOW ^^) Also had a good wine. I think it was german, and called a R-something (check receipt), which are supposed to be sweeter than the rest. Apparently some cabinet thing which means just a hint of sugar. *lol*

That's it *yawn* vic and en gave everyone really sweet presents 8grin* sankyuuuuuu ^^

*yawns somemore* okaaay. I think i shall sleep now. En is snorign next to me listening to some swedish rock music (pretty good stuff...what is the name again?) *lol*

over and out XD

MERRY CHRISTMASSSSSSSS ^_______________^//
