New York - Day 5

My entries are getting so boring, i wonder who's reading. Anyway, it's a short one today.

I made myself sleep at more realistic timings in order to force my body to adhere to New York hours. I was watching Alexander, which was uber boring, and I kept falling asleep. But I forced myself to stay up until then end of the show, about 11pm, before I let myself sleep. Ended sleeping til 6.20am, and felt sleepy, which was way more realistic than 9-10pm sleeps and 4.30am wake times. More meetings today, and was a bit stressful, but I think all-in-all went pretty well. Highlight of the day was my adventure to Shea Stadium, in Queens for a live Mets vs. Phillies baseball game!! My first baseball game and it was quite cool, especially since I ventured out of Manhattan by myself in Queens to catch the game. Tickets sponsored by the Sports committee from Credit Suisse New York. (:

28th Street Subway just ard my office. Notice the train arriving?

Shea Stadium, home of the Mets. Will be torn down after this season!

View of Northern Queens. This is probably 1/20 of the carpark space they have.

It's a hit!! New York Mets are black and they're home.

Paramdeep and I. Very nice guy, and passionate about baseball.

The game onging. Think the Mets are down 2-3 at this time.
But they finished 6-3 up.

Good fun today. And I got to met Bradley, at the Mets game, whom you would recall was in my Jan-Mar 2006 entries. He was in Singapore Credit Suisse by came over to the US in July 2006, and has been here since. Was suppose to surprise him as part of my New York trip but he found me first tonight. Shucks! Hope we can catch up soon.

Left the game early, didnt want to be caught with the crowd on subway.
So grabbed my late dinner (10.15pm) at a cafe near my hotel.

It's Chinese for Dinner! Quite ok la, and relatively cheap.
Costs less than 1/2 price of what I've been eating. (:
