Thanks giving sale and AIESEC Thanks giving dinner

After being warn about the Day After Thanksgiving Sale weeks ago, now is the time to face it. Everyone at GSC was talking about how crazy and how the prices are so low during the Sale this morning during work. We finish work at 6.30am today because we had to work 10 hours this morning because of Thanksgiving yesterday. Had a little snow fight with Mauricio (his first time seeing snow too) and Mari at the parking lot we went straight to the nearest Best Buy in Chesterfield. The parking lot was filled even tough its like 6am in the morning. We were warn that shoppers come as early as 3am to line up. (reminds me of PC Fair back home). There was no line out side the building but there was a loooong looooong snake shape like line in the building that twist and turn aroung the shelves electronics and rows of fridge. What I wanted to buy (SD memory cards) was obviously sold out by the time we arrive but we continue to check out other good deals for the other electronic. Intro Mauricio and Maricel to the SD200 and SD300 family while Em check out the CD players. Settled for a 256 SD while Em took 3 CD players. As the line we so "short" decided to procede to Circuit City (the other crazy day after Thanksgiving electrical store sale) down the road. While Em line up, Mari Mauricio and me went to Circuit City. A great difference here as there was just short line at the counter. Got lucky this time as there was a one last 512 SD card. While lining up to pay, got the golden opportunity to try on the Oakley Thump. http://oakley.com/catalog/eyewear/thump/?cm_re=V44*FeaturedImage*ThumpBubbaStewart sunglass with built-in MP3 player...how awesome is that.... Went back to Best Buy only to find Em is still in line after nearly 2 hours. We waited for another further 30 mins and finally we can pay and go. After Best Buy, Em broke the bad news that they want to go to Galeria to do shopping. After a very tiring 3 hours sitting and waiting and sitting and waiting finally we can head home. On the way back, we dicover something amazing that only will happen in St Louis. All the snow and ice that was there this morning has disappear. Its really amazing. Non left, it now looks like its summer again...all green grass. Arrive home and slept like a log. We only slept like 4 houts and we woke up about 7pm and rush by Em to prepare to attend the AIESEC Thanksgiving dinner. Again the the 4 superheros, Mari,Mauricio, Em and me set out on our journey to on of the AIESEC Mizzou member's house near O'fallon for the AIESEC Thanksgiving dinner. Its was really difficult to get there and we got lost like 3 times and finally made it. Its was Paul's house, a AIESECer from Mizzou that we will be having our first Thanksgiving dinner. His house is really a typical American home. We had the dinner in the basement where there were 2 tables set up. We had like buffet style Thanksgiving Dinner. Awesome. There were AIESECers from all around Missouri even from Wisconsin and also Arizona. Jessica and Nicky (@ Wisconsin) explain to us what is the meaning of Thanksgiving Day and we had like a sharing session where we tell everyone what are we thankful about for the year. Took some pictures and we left early cause we had to work at 9.30pm.
A day filled with GREAT SALE, GREAT PRICE and a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving Dinner.....

Rainy and sleepy day..

Nice weather today and i slept for 16 hours. I was suppose to be awake the whole nite but instead slept like a log from 1am till 10 am. Then woke up about 1030am and watch 2 movie, Basic and Jersey girl. First movie was kinda kiddy with Ben Afleck and Liv Tyler. Kinda about father love a daughter and realise the important between family and career. While Basic is really a cool army movie with action packed with lots of twist in it starring John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson and . We (mari,jorge, em and me) were suppose to go for a shopping trip down south to Jefferson City today to a outlet mall but instead all of us were dead asleep. The weather is so nice today with little rain and kinda cool.
zzzzzzzzzz and rainyy day .......

2nd Day in New York

The next day morning we went to I went to the United Nation building and went into the Security Council and General Assembly hall. Its was great. We had to pay like a fee and walk around the building and there was a tour guide that shows us around. There was gifts from countrys that we members thats really nice and there was one "tepak sirih" a golden one that Mahathir gave to UN when he retire 2 years ago. Beside that we went to Central Park. Its amazing like we were walking in New York and its was so busy and noisy and as we walk into Central Park its all quite and peaceful. Then you can see the New York skyline line up behind all the trees but without the noise. In the evening we met up with our Romanian friend again this time she brought us for a Romanian food dinner and also after that we went to a club downtown New York called "Tao". Its a night club theme on the Tao teaching ,,,in the club they have like a 2 storey high buddha statue and the whole club is lighted with candle and painted red.

1st day in New York

Flight from STL to Pittsburg was about 1 hour 10 min on US AIRways. Its was a nice flight. Then we had to transit about 1 hours at the Pittsburg airport and we had breakfast at the airport and bought some souviner for Karin and 4th Uncle. OUr next plane was at 11.10am and we arrive at New York about 12.30pm. As we approach the LaGuardia airport we heard a lady shouted.. I can see it....its green in colour....Statue of Liberty..... When we arrive we were kinda lost but after a few adjustment we got our baring went around the airport looking for the MTA ticket that we can use for a week for only USD24 unlimited. Then we took the Q48 bus and head towards Flushing Meadows. New York is awesome city la. First day we went to Flushing Meadow where the New York Metz (baseball) stadium and USTA National Tenis Center is located. I went to the Arthur Ashes stadium where they have the yearly US open there. Me and Emily we had to walk around the Flashing Meadow park with our heavy backpack and we saw the huge globe at the Flushing Meadow park. We plan to go to US Open in Sept but still depends if i will still be around. Anyway the main stadium was impressive but the rest were just like the Jalan Duta court...hehehehe. Then after that i went all the way to Bronx area to the New York Yankees stadium. The stadium has a really nice exterior and we went to the fan store to buy some souviner and we bought one piece of post card for USD1 ...arggh... After that we met up with my Karin and she bought a Japanese dinner and we went straight to bed after walking the whole day with our backpack.
Backpacking and our FIRST TIME IN NEW YORK.....
