Whoa !

helllloooo peoples, i'm back from america!!

since i didn't bring my camera, *in which i had to totally depend on pics from jesze and her friends...humph...and some people wouldn't let me take pics of myself....* i'll just write till i had a camera..

so it all started when i woke up at 5 am to catch my 10 am flight. when it comes to travelling, one must always be prepared. Always have a spare set of clothes on your hand carry. Anyways, got there by seven am. And silly old me thinking it wouldn't be so crowded since it was EARLY. but it was insane...first the crowds...then the insane security measures at heathrow. It came to the point where they made me take of my boots twice, check my bags twice, once at the the check it, the next time at the gate boarding. I think the extra security measure for passengers flying from britain to the usa. Seriously two freaking hours lining up and them checking my bag. I thought i was going to miss my plane..

So i finally got on the plane*America Airlines*.At first it was joy...i had the front seat. Lots of leg room..till i realised i couldn't pull my tv from the seat. Which basically meant that for the whole 7 1/2 hours i was tv-less*no mean feat since i've spent the past 4 months tv-less* but the worst part...i was in front of the huge travel screen, those screens which tell you how far you are till your journey, what the temperature is, etc etc etc..

Pure torture, with nothing to do, only my criminal law nutshell to keep me company, watching the hours crawl by till i was with the closest person to home this side of the western hemisphere.

Damn sad okie....

So finally touched down at jfk at 12.45pm, thinking is was in for another looong wait at the customs.but surprisingly, it was absolutely purrfect...no fuss, minimal amount of wait, the customs guy even asked me to have nice day!

Everything was going great, i took the bus to grand central from jfk. A normal 1 hour trip only took 35 minutes which was really surprising since new york's always freaking jammed packed. but that day, it was as if new york was empty. even grand central had very few people....my train was just on time.i only had to wait for like...ten minutes. And i had a practically empty train for the ride to new haven.

Okies, seems a bit complicated with me going like everywhere save for middletown, nowhereville usa. but the thing is, going to jesze's place is involves lots of stops since there is no direct way. Appparently everyone in america drives, so public transportation tho pretty decent in the city, gets really bad in small towns.

So the most economical way to get to jesze's place was to

a)get bus from jfk to grand central

b)take a train to new haven

c) since new haven is like 40 minutes by car to wesleyan, it was either by taxi, bus or *my personal favourite* wait for her to fetch me:D

It took me two hours to get to new haven. Unfortunately the ONLY bus to middletown for the day left.

Course everything was going great save for the fact i had to wait another hour and a half for jesze to come pick me up...

by then it was a 15 hour journey for me..so wut to do but buy a magazine and be comfortable.

besides, the new haven station was really cozy, like a mini grand central...

And then.....

okies well the pictures start there....

on a totally unrelated matter, just wanna show you guys a picture i really really love...it reminds me of gazing out my roomie's window at her IMU apartment after a girly girl day out...
