Halloween Friday @ Woodlands

I went for a tour.... on a cold-rainy Friday night.......... at Woodlands Cemetery....... to celebrate Halloween...........

The start of the tour at the Andrew Hamilton's (a prominent Philly's lawyer in the 18th century) mansion.

Our tour guide explained the history and contributions of various revered individual (including Commander of Pennsylvania volunteers for the entire Civil War, Major General David Bell Birney (1825-1864), prominent banker Francis Martin Drexel (1792-1863), the founder of Japan's democratic Liberal Party, Tatsui Baba (1850-1888) who died in exile here) who were buried here. It was very unfortunate for people like me who doesn't read US history and has zero knowledge of the Civil War. This picture was taken while she was explaining the history behind the construction of the Hamilton's mansion


On our way back.. in the rain.....

HaPpy Halloween !!

HomeComing 1


UPenn's Symphony and Orchestra ! The pianist was really good and received a standing ovation from the floor...AND ironically, it started to rain ...a.g.a.i.n....the night before homecoming !! I'm expecting the temperature to fall to 8 - 10 C tomorrow. Btw, we'll be having Yale here for our homecoming match. Expect the Quackers to kick the bulldogs tomorrow !

New York Trip 1

Yup, i was in New York for a day !

Chrysler Building is just right behind me....

The Manhattan skyline i saw in the bus


It cost me 30 bucks to go up to the 86th Floor of the Empire state building (where king kong was in the movie)....

But nope..didn't see any king kongs around......Behind is where the World Trade Center once stood. If you look closely, you'll see the statue of liberty just right behind me.

The view from the 86th Floor of the Empire State Building.

In the Chrysler Building....

Double image of the Chrysler Building



Since we didn't really know where to walk or rather we were just too lazy to plan, I decided to go to UN which was right down the road

Found the Malaysian Flag at the United Nation HQ after numerous attempts !

The secret service and diplomats entering the building in black vehicles. There's some meeting going on that day in the De-colonization Conference Hall.

This is the Security Council Conference Room of the United Nations.

ps : will post other photos later if i have the time.
