New York bounded. Took the Bally's Bus toward Chinatown.

First Stop: Joe'sShanghai for my lunch/dinner.  Their soup dumplings...... are a must!

Snacks: Cafe Sambuca for my cognac pumpkin cheesecake and latte. Then off to Snacky's for my Red Velvet.  I cut my cupcake in half adn eat it like a tiny sandwich.  It makes the whole ratio of cake and icing better!

Drinks: Yello is the one bar that I always end up at every time I venture up to the city,  From my lychee drinks, playing dice, chai mui and singing my heart out, I am always at home here.

Taxi: It is never too hard to get a taxi to come your way.  I love how their is a touch screen in the back seat for my entertainment.

Recap: It's nice to see my best friend and all familiar faces again.

Day: Started the day hanging out around The Walk for some shopping.

Evening: Went to Formica Bakery to buy some fresh bread.  They have a cafe store front, but you can buy loafs of bread, baguettes, and hoagies anytime and any day at their bakery all the way in the back through the alley.  The smell of fresh baked bread is an inviting smell to those who have not experienced that.

Task: To make 30 centerpieces, main vases and more.  Tram does a great job with floral arrangements.  We had called it a night around 4am while she stayed up till 6am working on them.

Went to Philadelphia to pick up my uncle from the airport.  Went around Chinatown to venture the city.  My two favorite places to eat around here is Penang and  Sang Kee Peking Duck House. Penang always had good Malaysian food from what I have remembered.  Sang Kee just knows how to make Pecking Duck right.,

During our Phillie walk around Chinatown, I was able to get to know my Uncle Loi and his daughter Sophie Nhu.  Nhu is the sweetest little girl and a neat freak.  I am very happy to see my Uncle be so complete.

Borgata's Club, Mur Mur does Mur Mur Mondays.  Some of my gals came out and we had a blast of dancing the night away!

Airport: Left at 5:15am. Morning coffee and breakfast at Austin java in ABIA with a good friend. (We both had to fly out) Southwest Airlines always give great customer service!! At Houston Airport, I had to get some latte from Peet's Coffee & Tea.

Random: I like the sign I saw while enjoying my 2 hour layover.

Philidelphia: Landed. Not much sight seeing here because I had to meet up the gals to eat my late lunch/dinner.  Wendy's daughter, Breanna, can never get my name right. Amy is close enough. That girl can work an iPhone better than most people I know! Huong's daughter, Kim Ngan (gray), is so smart and dieu! I love them both! We always eat at Nam Phuong , their family package is always a good deal! Bo Luc Lac here with watercrest has been and will be my favorite here.

Family: My cousin, Rosita, has the cutest baby girl, Emmabelle. I still can not believe she's expecting her baby boy in December!

Recap:  It has been a little over a year and a half since I have been back up here.  I enjoy seeing my family and friends here.  Off to bed early to hit the boardwalk for my jog!  <3 the ocean!
