We flew to New York to renew my passport on December 5th. It was my first time to New York but not for Robert. But the flight was delayed due to foggy weather so the plane headed to Boston, MA Airport. 

We arrived at 12 pm in New York. There are many ways to go to M'sian Embassy from John F Kennedy Airport. By bus, by taxi or subway. Since we were not familiar where the embassy was, we chose to go there by round trip bus. The bus stopped at Grand Central Station. It is in the midtown Manhattan of New York City. It such a busy place with people, a lot of restaurants, tall buildings and traffics!.

We walked from the Grand Central to embassy. It just took about 15 minutes. Besides that we went to see World trade centre memorial (9-11 attacks) after renewing my passport. Unfortunately I didn't take so many pictures on that day. Seriously I want to walk around New York city but I got hurt on my feet and I can't walk too much. The pain was really distracting me and we headed back to grand central station to have some snacks.We were in the city about 5 hours and spent rest of the day at the airport. Maybe next time New York.

Happy Holidays !!

We had yard sale on Saturday last week (Dec 3rd). It was one day yard sale and thankfully everything done smoothly. I couldn't believe a lot of people came over and interested to buy our stuff. It was my first time to have a yard sale and absolutely I enjoyed talking to customers, deal with the price, selling stuff and excited to put bunch of dollar bills in my pocket. We advertised on the newspaper, internet and also made 5 signboards on the day before yard sale. 


The night before yard sale, Robert put price tag on every stuff and I painted the letters for the sign boards. I slept late and Robert didn't sleep whole night!
We actually opened yard sale at 8 am till 5 pm but unexpectedly people came before 8 o'clock. I was so busy handle customers and can't take picture people coming. We sold tools, surfboards, electronic/electrical stuff, TV, men clothing and other stuff.

Few people still came over after 5 pm looking for stuff to buy. What an amazing day!
