New York, New York


42nd St. Times Square. 
Never leave NYC without setting your foot in Times Square


The single most convenient and affordable mode of transportation




Manhattan in NYC is simply divided into Uptown, Downtown, East Side and West Side







New York City, long consider one of the biggest city in the world. This was where it all started for me, thousands of miles away from home to chase after a dream. This city would be my second chance at college education, having failed my first time in Toronto, Canada. 

Like the Chinese saying, 'You count on family when at home and friends away' holds so true to me. In a huge city like NYC, it's survival of the fittest and I can't thank my friends enough for being there for me through good times and bad.

I lived smack in the middle of Queens, one of the 5 boroughs in New York, the other 4 being The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Staten Island. Queens has a lively and diverse population with high concentrations of Asian in certain pockets of the borough. 

I spend 15 years in Queens. On the 16th year, there was this sudden urge for change. After a lot of thoughts, I relocated and ended up in southern California. I love the weather here, especially so after 15 years of snow and sleet. California is all sunshine baby! No matter how much good words I've for California, New York will forever holds dear in my heart.
