Freaking COLD!!!

I tell you, these 2 days, it's been so cold (both day and night) that if an old man comes over, his crikety joints will break, his false teeth will drop and his poor heart may stop in shock. It had been so so cold... this morning, thermometer read minus 6 deg!! And yesterday night, it was minus 3 deg. As me and M headed out for a late supper at a restaurant where they filmed parts of Seinfeld (coz there was a sudden insatiable urge for fried chicken wings), we were nearly chilled stiff and blown away as the cold winds relentlessly howled.. Many others pulled thick woollen hats way over their ears as they ran along the pavements, hurrying to their nearest sheltered destination. It was almost comical.

Today, I visited the BEST museum in my 20++++ yrs of life - The Metropolitan Museum of Art. My god. It was so good that even I (as a not-too-arty-commoner) would jump at the next chance to visit it again! Me and M spent 5 solid hrs exploring the multiple galleries of this awesome building and, even though we did not scrutinize every single exhibit, we still did not manage to finish exploring the place. Hey, if you ever come by NY and do not visit the Met, you haven't come to NY!!! Really. My favorite galleries? - Medieval Arts, European Paintings, European sculptures in that order. Enjoy.

And then we went over to Fish's uncle's house in Queens for a CNY-like steamboat dinner. Yummy, fresh seafood in boiling hot bittergourd soup and red wine, nice and warm indoors while outside temp hovered near 0deg. Only one word - shiok. Thanks a lot. =)
