Work have been lovely by provided me a lovely all expenses paid trip to New York. It was the first time I will be flying on an airplane and more importantly, it’s been a long time since I’ve been abroad! Most of the week was work related however during the evenings I was able to catch loads of places out and do as much touristing as I could. I believe the main theme of new york was to really abuse the tourist status as well as recreate as many things “Friends” related as possible! I don’t know but it just seemed that Friends was one of the first thing that comes to mind when you think of New York and since I’m quite a fan of the show I was hoping to do as many things that had a Friends reference. I’m going to embed them within the post, see how many you can get and post them on the comments section

Places to go:

• Any old pizza place
• Grand Central Terminal
• Radio City Music Hall
  
• In and out burger
• Hello Deli
• Empire State Building
• Times Squire
• 5th Avenue
• Broklyn Bridge
• MoMA

Things to eat

• Pizza! (WE LIKE PIZZA! DAMNIT CARL!)
• Pancakes
• Waffles
• BUFFALO wings
• KFC wing bucket!
• Sbarro?
• Burger
• Hot dogs

The ones crossed out were done

Right, being stuck in the tube due to signal delays allow me time to write a quick and dirty todo list and things to pack list for when I goto New York. Not excited about it yet, still feeling calm as a cow (and boy that’s CALM), guess I’ll only start feeling excited when I’m on the plane for the first time hehe.

Anyway, here’s the list, sadly I honestly don’t need much, only clothes and other bits and bobs:
Things to bring:

• Plane tickets
• Passport
• Wallet with some $$
• Travel insurance documents
• Laptop from work
• Clothes
• Toilet stuff :p
• Suitcase
• Dslr Camera and extra CF cards / charger
• Travel guide for New York
• 3 odd travel adaptors
• Phone
• iPod and cable (laptop needs itunes)

Things to do

• Check if theres a suitcase available, if not buy

That’s the list for now, will add more whenever needed

Just to make the process easier for people who have no idea what to get me I thought I’d make a wish list haha :p The problem with me is that its incredibly hard to get me a present since I’m pretty content with what I have now and anything I want are quite expensive which I’ll probably buy by myself (don’t like receiving big presents :S, feel a bit guilty and all).

Anyway, here’s a lovely list of things I want, I won’t promise that I wont buy it myself but I’ll try my best haha, you never know though, i might actually get all of it.

• Mario Galaxy
• Metroid Prime
• Guitar Hero for Ps3 or Wii (having a tough time thinking of which one to get)
• iPod classic silver
• Kung Fu hustle on Bluray
• Harry Potter on Bluray (any of them)
• Die Hard on bluray
• Singster on PS3
• A decent tripod
• Filters 58mm
• Mac keyboard
• Harry Potter books
• Game vouchers :p

Make note how I didn’t put Mac Pro there haha, would be silly.
I think everyone should write their own list just to save people the hasslehoff, and who knows maybe they’ll get what they want

Update: See! I already bought guitar hero!

Another year has gone, people need to start using 2007 when writing up dates as well as look out for food that dont have the year on their expiry date. Never fond of sevens. So I’m guessing this year will be a shabby one haha. Some new year resolutions (which I’m most likely not going to follow):

1. No more heavy purchasing for at least when I’ve finished uni
2. Do really well at uni *tries to do some work*
3. Make some music of my own
4. Take lots of photos with amazing camera
5. Be happy

Think that’s all for me, anymore and it’s simply something I cannot achieve. doubt I’d achieve them anyway.
