Today, in 2 weeks' time, Saliheen and I will be gallivanting in NYC already!!! 

I am especially and ridiculously excited for our helicopter ride along the Manhattan skyline and gobbling all the good artisan food while soaking in the atmosphere at Smorgasburg :9

Also happy to announce we've settled our pre-trip bookings! Saliheen got a little grumpy when he realized there were so many things to consider and do but that is what happens when you DIY a holiday, grampa!!!!! Dah sedap kan, selalunya ada tour agency settlekan.

Here is a list of what is settled and what isn't; mostly for me to use as reference within the next week or so:

What we have settled:

1. Applied for ESTA (Read more here)

2. Booked tickets to watch The Lion King on Broadway 

3. Booked van service to and fro Woodbury Common Premium Outlets 

4. Booked helicopter ride along Manhattan skyline

5. Booked tickets to go for United Nations Headquarters tour

6. Booked slots for Chinatown, Little Italy and Soho tour (Free with the New York Pass)

7. Booked slots for Wall Street Walking tour (Free with the New York Pass)

What we're left to do before we fly off:

1. Purchase travel insurance

2. Register with Ministry of Foreign Affairs

3. Figure out the subway/ferry routes

4. Email van service (Woodbury) to confirm attendance

5. Check-in online for our flights
6. Print May schedule for East River Ferry
7. Print finalized itinerary

What we need to do over counter in NYC:

1. Get tickets to enter Madame Tussauds (Free with the New York Pass)

2. Decide whether to purchase tickets to enter Ripley's Believe It or Not 

3. Get tickets to enter American Museum of National History (Free with the New York Pass)

4. Decide whether to get tickets for the Rockefeller Centre tour (Free with the New York Pass)

5. Get tickets to go up Top of the Rock (Free with the New York Pass)

6. Get tickets to go up Empire State Building (Free with the New York Pass)

7. Get tickets to go for Madison Square Garden tour (Free with the New York Pass)

8. Get tickets for self-guided audio tour at Grand Central Terminal (Free with the New York Pass)

9. Get tickets for 9/11 Memorial tour (Free with the New York Pass) 

10. Get tickets for Yankee Stadium tour (Free with the New York Pass)

We wanted to book a Brooklyn Bridge & DUMBO tour initially but decided against it because:

1. We plan to go to the Brooklyn Bridge after our helicopter ride and we aren't sure whether we can make it in time for the tour's 11.00am reporting time;

2. their terms and conditions are strict e.g, they will charge a USD15 cancellation fee if you want to cancel at any time, as opposed to other tours who won't charge you if you cancel 48 hours before scheduled tour;

3. it is the longest of all the tours - 2.5 hours! We'd rather read up the history beforehand and wander around ourselves than be tied down to a 2.5 hours long guided tour. 

I really hope this will turn out to be a good decision! We freed up quite a bit of time after taking that particular tour out of our itinerary, and we can already see the benefits: we can now go to Smorgasburg earlier and beat the lunchtime crowd, we now have time to lepak at Jane's Carousel (a gorgeous carousel built and operated in Ohio in 1922, auctioned off in 1984, restored over the years and then opened to the public in Brooklyn in 2011; you can read more here) and hopefully I can track down the chai tea concentrate from Dona Chai somewhere in DUMBO because 1, I love anything chai and 2, just look at that gorgeous, gorgeous thing here! I plan to get a bottle for myself, maybe more, depending on how many bottles I can sneak pass my glaring husband hehe.

NYC Planning (Part 5)

4 more weeks to our trip and look what arrived today!!! Our New York passes and guidebooks, y'allz!!! :D

I ordered the passes on 1 April 2015 (Wed) and received them on 6 April 2015 (Mon), which is within their promised shipping period of 4 business days. Very pleased with their delivery since it was via FedEx and they provided a tracking link so I could see where in the world my order was and when it was due to arrive. 

We also managed to snag their 5-day passes at 20% off so USD210 became USD168 per pass! Apparently this is the max discount that New York Pass gives out periodically on their website. We didn't get the Hop On Hop Off Bus option by the way, because we read that people have experienced delays and long waiting times and that their buses shouldn't be used as a form of transportation, only if we want to move from one tourist spot to another at a leisurely pace (which is not what we want to do).

I'll only decide and share if the New York pass is truly worth it for us after the trip but if you're also planning to go NYC and considering whether you should purchase the New York Pass, you can start off with these links here and here to see if the savings will be worth it, with your own itinerary and travelling style in mind.

NYC Planning (Part 4)

Ahhh what a bummer!!!!! 

Looks like we won't be able to watch a New York Knicks basketball game after all T.T

I've been monitoring their ticket booking system for the past few weeks and told Saliheen the May slots macam tak bukak bukak aje. He then made a remark which made me realize I've been such an idiot for not checking earlier - "Sekali dorang takde game in May pun eh? Sporting events ada seasons tau"

Checked several resources online (including this useful one) and turns out it is true - their schedule runs from October to April only why oh whyyyyy, I want to see Beyonce duduk depan New York Knicks play lehhh :(

Not gonna catch any other sporting events in NYC, although Saliheen meronyok nak pergi Yankee Stadium. Travel all the way to the Bronx just to tengok stadium and "beli topi NY Yankees" wtf!!!!! Better have his size eh, kalau tak kepala dia aku potong setengah (It is difficult for Saliheen to find topi that fits his kepala size)

But issokey, I will let him have his fun because he is also letting me have my fun HEH HEH HEH. Pencilled in two fleamarkets into our itinerary because I am an absolute sucker for them!!! When we booked tickets to NYC, I knew one of the things I'd want to do is to browse through fleamarkets.

You know, I used to go to a lot of local fleamarkets (even the Sungei Road one) but stopped doing it just after I left poly because the fleamarket scene in Singapore became very merepek! Suddenly it was dominated by bloody blogshops with tiny generic first-hand clothes which sold for more than SGD30 per piece! MEREPEK SIAK. Aku pergi fleamarket sebab nak murah and offbeat pieces, bukan pasal nak beli baju setotetlet kau yang bersepah kat internet and bersepah kat Bangkok for SGD5!!!!! 

It takes the charm out of shopping at a fleamarket OKAY. I'm supposed to be able to find one off pieces, second hand stuff, vintage clothing (like, legit vintage from 1960s, not baju that is "vintage inspired" tapi baru keluar factory semalam wtf) and stumble upon cheap treasures! Not your run off the mill firsthand nonsense.

But that doesn't mean I don't want to scrounge through fleamarkets overseas, though! Especially since the spirit of fleamarkets thrives on in other parts of the world. Some organizers even explicitly ban sellers from selling firsthand items k. Gitu baru betul!

Anyway, I found this useful guide on NYC fleamarkets online and identified the fleamarkets that we can (hopefully) make it to: the Hell's Kitchen Fleamarket and the Green Fleamarket. And Artists & Fleas which is located in Chelsea Market too, of course!

Had to batalkan cita cita pergi ke Brooklyn Fleamarket even though that is one of the more popular ones that I am most interested in!!! Mainly because we won't have time to pop over to Brooklyn over the weekend MEH (Fleamarkets in NYC usually operates during weekends)

Hopefully I can get a good fleamarket haul from both trips eh. Mana tau boleh dapat apple bottom jeans boots with the fur ke (If you did not get that Flo Rida reference, you are not my friend BYE)

NYC Planning (Part 3)

8 more weeks to New York City, you guys!!!!!

Draft itinerary is more or less complete, now we're just waiting for slots to open so we can confirm our bookings for some of our intended activities. We still have a few flexible evenings, which we will probably fill with different types of shows and/or random jalan jalan around Times Square.

I've also compiled a list of dessert places for us to visit, maaaybe a little too many sampai Saliheen started grumbling HAHAHA. He even asked me whether the only reason why I am excited to go NYC is because  I want to pig out on desserts! Eh eh orang tua ni..... ABURTHEN?! sampai hati accuse I macam tu tau.

Actually tak banyak sangat seh yang on my list, I had to eliminate a lottttt of candidates (fuh, macam nak choose jodoh lah) because there's just too many things to do in NYC. Anyway, here's my final shortlist!

Baked by Melissa

Had to include Baked by Melissa in my list because LOOK AT THEIR CUTE MINI CUPCAKES DON'T YOU JUST WANT SQUISH THEM WTF. These babies come with filing inside and each is about the size of a quarter!!! Have to admit their mini cupcakes look greasy and unappetizing on Trip Advisor and Yelp reviews though hahaha but one of their stores is 3 minutes walk away from my hotel so #YOLO

Crumbs 

We now go from mini cupcakes to colossal cupcakes! I know one of the signature offerings at Crumbs is their colossal cupcakes, and if you cannot understand how massive they truly are, then I should probably tell you each piece costs USD35 and you will need two hands to hold it proper, like this. I have no idea why people call this a cupcake though, isn't a huge cupcake essentially just a..... cake? Dun dun dun~

Cake Boss Cafe

I've heard of the TV show Cake Boss but haven't watched a single episode before so this trip to their store will be more of a curious touristy moment than it having actual significance for me haha. Who knows, if their cupcakes sedap nak mampos, I might just start watching their episodes? (Kalau sedap baru nak tengok ah)

Dominique Ansel Bakery

How can I visit NYC and not try cronuts from the original creator of cronuts kan!!!!! To be honest, I wasn't very impressed when I had a cronut at Brunetti in Singapore but it might just be because I don't enjoy eating flaky desserts anyway? Told myself if I don't even like the ones from the original creator himself then memang cronuts are just not for me. 

Their bakery also sells crazy cute cookie milk shots but they are only available from 3.00pm onwards daily. Meh. I think we'll be in their area earlier than 3.00pm seh so might have to give those a miss :(

Dough Doughnuts

Looking forward to having these glorious gedik babies because I am obsessed with Essie Button and this was one of the things she had when she visited New York! I watched her vlog at a time when I never even dreamed I'd ever step foot in NYC so I didn't give it much thought, but the minute my NYC plans firmed up I immediately knew I had to go to Dough for their doughnuts,  I kid you not!!!!!

Junior's Cheesecake

A little ridiculous if I go to New York and not try one of their famous New York cheesecakes, amirite or amirite?

Magnolia Bakery

Now this one, my friends, is an ABSOLUTE MUST-GO!!! I know anyone who has been to NYC will tell you, "oh you must try Magnolia Bakery, it's just one of those things you must do when you are in NYC". When I first started planning, it was exactly the same thing for me! Go to Magnolia Bakery because their cupcakes and pudding sedap and it's just what people do when they go NYC, you know?

But earlier this month, I started reading The Tastemakers: Why We're Crazy for Cupcakes but Fed Up with Fondue by David Sax and HOLYYY SHIIIIIIITTTEEE, I couldn't have picked up the book at a better time - there is a whole section in there on the history of Magnolia Bakery and why it has become such an important cultural icon today! You can read the first few chapters here, which will (hopefully) make you understand why stepping foot into Magnolia Bakery will be a pretty significant moment for me.

(I hope to write a separate entry on the book once I've finished reading it! So far the other chapters are just as educational and captivating and my mind boggles at how food trends start and evolve, how powerful PR and marketing can be, and how it can influence what and how we consume food in different parts of the world)

MarieBelle

I'm not sure if we'll have the time to pop by MarieBelle but if we do, it'll be sweet! (Literally) Bookmarking this only 'cos Oprah included their hot chocolate powder as one of her favourite things in the world LOL

Momofuku Milk Bar

Sometimes when someone mentions NYC, another person will sambut with an enthusiastic "Momofuku!!!!!" (True story, this happened when I told my girlfriend I'm heading to NYC lolz) I've read a little about the Momofuku chain from The Tastemakers book and subsequently on the internet, and while I'm skipping their noodles bar because yang popular adalah their pork buns and their soup base probably ada babi, I am definitely not going to miss out on their milk bar, which serves sedap sounding shit like cereal milk soft serve, compost cookies and crack piesss.

Spot Dessert Bar

So many items on their menu yang I nak try!!! Their #1 seller chocolate green tea lava cake??? Their frozen Japanese citrus cream bar??? Their Thai tea creme brulee??? Their smoked coconut cheesecake??? Their glorious golden toast with condensed milk??? Which one am I going to gain calories for??? WHICH ONE?!?!?! T.T I don't even know which picture to share so I will leave you with the link to their Instagram account biar kau geram sendiri: www.instagram.com/spotdessertbar

Sprinkles Cupcake ATM Machine

This is another place that I will make time for!!! 24 hours cupcake ATM machine, genius or extremely genius??? I remember seeing this while watching a news channel sometime ago and thinking: Wtf I hope I get to try that one day. Lo and behold, there's one near Lexington (one of the areas I'll be at in NYC) so APE LAGI. Wait for mama, baby!!!!! Video clips on the cupcake ATM craze and how it works here and here.

Some of the other dessert places we're going to will be in Chelsea Market itself (we're heading there on one of the days): Bar Suzette for crepes, Doughnuttery for mini doughnuts wtf so cute for what, Fat Witch Bakery for brownies and blondies, People's Pop for ice pops and Sarabeth for ALL THEIR YUMMY LOOKING SHIT.

I've also marked a few coffee shops we can check out in NYC, thanks to our only (masih ah nak) hipster friend Ahmad, and the list includes La Colombe, Happy Bones, Cafe Grumpy, Blue Bottle Coffee and Culture Espresso. Not a big fan of coffee personally so this will be more of a kalau ada time / kalau kita lalu then baru kita akan masuk kind of thing. Saliheen drinks coffee lah but dude is neither a hipster nor a coffee snob so he won't die die want to try the different long blacks and lattes there lah.

Another makan-related place that I want to visit are food halls! I love food halls and think they are amazing in concept because you get to try and buy popular yummy food all in one place... talk about convenience! The ones I'm eyeing is The Plaza Food Hall for their cheesecakes, crepes and tarts as well as the City Kitchen Food Hall for their shaved snow, pretzels and lobster freaking rolls.

Now please excuse me while I lap my air liur off my keyboard.....

NYC Planning (Part 2)

Hello kawan kawan! Best tak dapat enjoy during the long weekend baru baru ni???

It was a very good holiday break for Saliheen and I because in between hosting friends, cooking sessions and going out to the mall, we used the extra time to sort out some of our NYC holiday-related stuff :D I first wrote about going to NYC here.

Accommodation

We took the plunge and booked a room at one of our shortlisted hotels last week!!!

We were fine with a Mini room initially but booked a Queen room in the end because price difference is less than S$20. The Queen room ada queen sized bed and a little more space, tapi tetap tak change the fact that the rooms in this hotel are crazy small but unfortunately standard for mid-range accommodation in NYC :/

But issokey, because our hotel is right smack in Times Square and very accessible to a lot of places (did I mention that we will be 5 minutes walk away from Sephora Times Square R.I.P MY BANK ACCOUNT) so kita happy gila dapat a room in this hotel. Will only blog more about it when we come back, hopefully it's as good as their reviews on TripAdvisor and Agoda.

Itinerary

Bet you're not surprised that I already have a draft itinerary up and running on an Excel worksheet!!!!! Hehehe. Right now I'm trying to work our itinerary around the places of attraction that we can access with the New York Pass since we're planning to purchase one for each of us before we head to NYC!

Fact: The New York Pass was one of the things that convinced me it wouldn't be too tough to move around NYC on our own :D

We also wanted to visit Niagara Falls and the famous theme park in Coney Island (Luna Park) but it'll take us approximately 10 hours to take a train out to Niagara Falls and it'll be a 1 hour train ride to the theme park so we're scrapping those plans for now. 1 hour train ride to the theme park is still doable lah but only if kita rajin bila dah kat NYC.

One other thing that we might consider doing in NYC kalau kita rajin is to attend a basketball game! And itu pun kalau ada tickets for a game in NYC by the time we want to book. I looked it up and tickets are not out yet for May, tapi I sempat 'chui' harga for front row seats for a typical basketball game in NYC macam yang Jay Z and Beyonce selalu duduk at tu. You all guess lah berapa the harga????????????????????????

USD3000 per freaking seat eh. 

Thanks eh. Baru nak berangan duduk sebelah Beyonce eh. Taik hidung Beyonce pun aku tak dapat eh kalau dah masuk USD3000 per person.

Weather

Of course it doesn't matter what our itinerary is, if the weather does not cooperate!!! We'll be there during late spring/summer and I'm hoping it'll still be chilly so we can play around with scarfs and double layers and thicker material when dressing up. Hehe. Penting k part nak dress up ni because how can we not attempt to take #ootds when we're in one of the coolest cities in this freaking universe kan?!

I checked for a rough guide online and apparently it should be between 19°C to 21°C during our travel period? I'm still quite worried because the weather in NYC has gone a little wonkerz; NYC is currently frozen all over even though it's almost the end of February already. Is that supposed to be normal, guys?!

Naturally Saliheen the polar bear bertopengkan manusia will be more than happy to have cold weather and thinks the colder the better, but I wouldn't want us to be stuck in the bad kind of cold weather where it's almost suicide to be out and places of attraction are closed because of weather concerns! Especially places like the Empire State Building Observation Deck and the Top of the Rock :/

Food

Saliheen and I are not ~super~ strict with food when we are overseas but we do try as much as possible to get halal food and when we can't, we settle for bread, seafood and veg anywhere else.

Right now I've compiled a list of over 70 halal eateries and food carts which are within walking distance to our hotel in Times Square and the places of attractions that we will be at! This is all thanks to Zabihah.com - who knew halal food can be so easily found in NYC?!?! And cheap!

We can even choose different styles ranging from American to Chinese to Thai to Pakistani to the more familiar Singaporean/Malaysian and Indonesian (why would I want to east SG/MY/INDO food in NYC though lol) and of course there's Turkish, Indian, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food choices. Am especially looking forward to the beef and rice platter from the crazy popular Halal Guys because I want to know what is up! with! all! that! hype!

Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA)

We didn't even know we had to apply for ESTA if we travel to USA at first tau!!!!! Alhamdullilah, luck was on our side because we went to IKEA over the weekend and terserempak dengan another couple friend who will be going to NYC for their upcoming honeymoon. It was dorang yang told us about it so thank you SO much Nad and Shahdan!!! ❤

You see, we naturally assumed we didn't have to apply for any kind of visa since we hold Singaporean passports (complacent lah tu) and well, technically, memang we don't have to lah... it's just that we still need to apply for ESTA which is some sort of a waiver from having to apply for visa but is still a form of authorization to gain admission into the USA.

Aaanyway, we submitted our ESTA applications last Saturday and when I checked this morning, our applications are already approved!

This does not guarantee our admission into the USA because it still depends on the customs officer in JFK airport but I really, really, really hope we won't get into any difficulty or issues at the airport. Bismillah, bismillah, bismillah!

NYC Planning (Part 1)

Guess what happened from the last time I blogged about joining a tour group to NYC???

That's right - I flipped like a roti prata over the week (errr surprise???) and we booked our own flight tickets to NYC instead. So this pretty much means WE ARE GOING TO DIY OUR NYC TRIP!!!

What happened sampai I flip like roti prata: I relooked at the tour group itinerary and realized we'll be staying in New Jersey instead of NYC, and that instead of 3 days in NYC that we originally thought, technically we'll only have 1.5 days in NYC WTF TAIK HIDUNG JE TU

And not like we can work much with the given 1.5 days because we'll be too busy with pre-arranged walking tours = won't be able to venture out on our own!!! If we're going to our dream destination, we should milk it for its worth instead of touch and go kan?!

With that in mind, I tried to (kononnya) main main research on NYC transportation and tour bookings and realized that it is so much easier than I thought! Brought up the idea to Saliheen and he agreed :D

This is different from our Eastern Europe trip, where it was much more complicated to move around because we had so many states to go and so many tours we wanted to join. Yang ni, it's just ONE city, so it should be manageable even by a granny and grandpa like us... kan? Not that we can back out of this anyway, since we've already paid for flight tickets ha ha ha

Flight

We decided to fly via Emirates instead of SQ even though SQ tickets to New York is currently cheap for the month of May (Cheap, considering it's only S$1880 when it's usually in the regions of two thousand plus dollars) and this is because...

... Emirates tickets are even cheaper wtf!!!!! Their tickets cost S$1440 per pax, which translates to about S$440 savings for each of us - can get us tickets to Broadway shows and helicopter ride in New York eh! We had a good experience flying with Emirates previously anyway, so this was an easy decision.

Plus we got to 'chope' the only two-person seater on 3 of our flights! (We'll be on 4 flights) Hopefully we won't get bumped off to other seats somehow, so at least we won't have to worry about sitting uncomfortably next to strangers in our flights. It'll be almost 24 hours of travelling for each way, we'd want to be as comfortable as possible seh.

Accommodation 

We're booking our accommodation next... possibly tonight! 

We've shortlisted a few apartments on AirBNB but we're still on the fence about it because we ~kind of~ like staying in hotel rooms when we're on holiday, you know? 24-hour room service, wake-up calls, housekeeping, laundry service, assistance in taxi bookings, that sort of thing.

And we won't have to clean up after ourselves, which is something we'll have to do when we stay in an AirBNB apartment. Kalau tinggal kat hotel kan ada chambermaid.

I have to admit hotels in NYC - especially the ones located in the heart of Times Square - are crazy expensive!!! Our budget is about S$200 to S$250 per night but it seems like even the "cheaper" hotels are at least S$300++ per night wtf lantai hotel rooms dorang ada tanam intan dan berlian ke ape siak.

List of our considerations for a hotel room in NYC: 

(1) Doesn't matter if the room is super tiny since we'll be out for most of the day and just need a room to rest and sleep - we heard most NYC hotel rooms are tiny anyway!

(2) Must be located in/near Times Square. People tell us we should stay away from the busy Times Square streets because it can get really noisy but we're both heavy sleepers and we're not averse to earplugs so noise is not an issue.

(3) Costs S$200 - S$250 per room per night.

So far we've found 1 hotel that seems to fits two-thirds of our criteria (the one in the picture above) just that it's about S$60 more than our budget per night :/ Dengar S$60 macam affordable but when you multiply that by 9, 10 nights, that's $600 already k.

We'll most likely book it though, since we have finally accepted that all the decent hotels located in Times Square will cost us S$300+++ and above per night!!! Our choice is the cheapest we can find and is right smack in the heart of Times Square so I really can't complain.

Once we settle our accommodation, we're going to plan our itinerary next! PART PALING EXCITING PLZ SO EXCUSE ME WHILE I TYPE IN CAPS HAHA. I've received so many messages and comments on my social media on certain things to do and stuff to check out in NYC, and I love how everyone has been so gracious and generous with their information!!!

Kalau tiada aral melintang, 11 more weeks before I arrive at my teenage dream destination, insya Allah ♥

Let's Hear It For New York

After monthsssss of deliberation, we've finally decided on our US trip YAYYYHAYYYYY!!!

We were torn between DIY and going with a tour group (as always) but since we are both perangai nenek and atok when it comes to travelling, we've decided yet again on the latter. Is anyone even surprised with our life choices anymore?!

Honestly I was very, very, very tempted to DIY the trip but practicality and also a little bit of laziness took over. Here's a list of our considerations when we were trying to decide which way to go:

Option A: DIY (NEW YORK ONLY)

Pros

1. Spend 7 full days in New York!!!

2. Get to immerse in their culture and soak in the atmosphere

3. Do tons of NY stuff like watch Broadway, visit bakeries, wander through Central Park, etc

4. Have extra shopping money since it'll only be 7 days of DIY NY

5. SQ flight (Right now it's SGD3800 for 2 pax to fly to New York in May on SQ WTF SO TEMPTING)

Cons

1. Have to book & manage everything ourselves (accommodation, entrance fees for tours, transport)

2. Risk getting lost, scammed or mugged in the streets of New York

3. Risk getting into difficulties entering US because of our faith zzZZz

Option B: TOUR GROUP (CANADA & USA)

Pros

1. Spend 13 days travelling through parts of Canada, Washington DC, Boston, New York. Comprehensive!

2. We get to earn American history, visit White House, memorials, etc. I LOVE!
3. We get to experience Niagara Falls and Skylon Tower in Canada (YASSSSSSS)

4. Everything is guided and managed by a tour manager. 

5. Even if the US authorities interrogate us upon entry, we know we have our tour agency to back us up. 

Cons

1.  Less shopping money since it'll be almost 2 weeks worth of holiday.

2. Qatar Airways instead of SQ (Sort of a con because we've never been on Qatar - no idea if it's good)

3.  Only have about 3 days in New York, with half of each day being filled with half day tours fixed by agency (Not that it's such a bad thing - some of the tourist spots are the ones we want to go to anyway, like Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, Wall Street, Chrysler Building, Rockefellar Centre and Times Square)

Saliheen is okay with either option and lets me choose the one I like best TENKZ. Sampai hati make me buat keputusan on something like this!!! After consulting family and friends, I've already decided on Option B but technically we have until next week before we sign and seal this decision and put down our deposit. Hopefully my mind is set and won't be tempted to 'roti prata' while waiting for next week.

Tapi whatever it is, tetap kita kena hafal lagu ni sebab kalau tak hafal macam mana nak buat music video in ♫ New Yorkkkkk~ Concrete jungle where dreams are made of~ There's nothing you can't do~ ♫ ???
