339. your smile is a beautiful lie

Sometimes something that happens at literally the very end of the night (even if just for a few minutes) can put me in an entirely different mood than I was in the entire day. I will take it as a good sign this time. In case you're starting to get sick of all the New York posts, here's a bunch of very random photos found on my phone:

Today my friend and I went to a lunch event at Harbour Sixty. I invited the same friend I went with last time. We didn't manage to do the same 5-hour dinner marathon as last time but I left equally as stuffed from all the food. I love it there.

Started off with the Harbour Sixty Salad. Actually, I started off with devouring almost the entire basket of bread (their cheese bread = amazing!) which was a mistake as I should've left a lot more room for the remaining courses..

Then the Grilled Salmon..so good!!

My friend's humongous (Man vs. Food?) prime rib sandwich. It was a lot bigger than it looks here.

Creme Brulee.

Then I went home, grabbed the dog & headed down to the harbour again to meet my friend (& his whole family)

Heading home. Nice relaxing Tuesday..I love when weekdays feel like the weekend.

A couple weeks ago getting my hair done at Trump's Quartz Crystal Spa

All nighters = seeing the sunrise (from my West and East views)

338. NYC | The Met

The Met European Sculpture and Decorative Arts

On a very rainy day in New York, we decided to visit The Met. We went on a Friday night when they opened til 9pm. It was my first time there and I LOVED it. I realize now we didn't get a chance to see even half of all the galleries. I would definitely love to return someday. I took so many photos there my camera actually died before we left. Here's part 1.

PS: some of you may remember the invite-only blog I had before, where I typed out way too many of my private thoughts and feelings. The entries became too cringe-worthy when I read back so I deleted it all. Well now I started it again on my Tum-blog. I used to have the link on the sidebar here but now I took it off (it was my "photo-a-day blog") I find that blog easier to update than here because I can update whenever and be more honest. So if you're interested and somehow remember the link..go over there because I'll be updating that blog more often from now on!

337. NYC - June 2013 | Favourites

Just got back yesterday from NYC..miss it a lot! The above is my favourite photo & favourite moment of the whole trip.

It seems my blog has officially turned into a travel blog - particularly for New York. I just scrolled through the past few pages and it's filled with posts from my previous times there. Unsurprisingly I wasn't able to do live-blogging once again.
I arrived last Thursday afternoon. First we took a long walk around Brooklyn/Brooklyn Bridge/Brooklyn Bridge Park. The rain started that evening and continued on until Friday. On Friday, in the middle of a tropical storm, we went to The Met. It was my first time there..I loved it! Saturday the rain stopped so we took a roadtrip to the Catskill Mountains, where I was able to cross of one thing on my list of things to do before I die ("lie under the stars" - I know this could've been done anywhere but I was waiting for the perfect place). The stars are amazing up there!! Don't have any photos unfortunately - pretty sure the view would've been impossible to capture. Sunday we strolled around Battery Park, had dinner then drinks at Top of the Standard (my favourite spot). My flight home was Monday afternoon. There were heavy rains so my original flight got cancelled & I got bumped to the next flight. Stressful day but made it home. Not liking being back home now though..anyways, here is a photo summary of the trip:
