Newport visit again
The last few weeks have been filled with sadness and worries about the situation of Sze's grandpa. Sandra and I decided to take a break and relax. Yesterday, we visited Newport with friends again. The weather was so nice. Thanks God! Tho' we've been there many times, we've never felt bored visiting there again.

The New York trip
Last Friday and Saturday, Sandra and I went to New York city. The trip was primarily for work(Boss was giving a talk on Fri and asked his team to go with him). So, Sandra went there with me to visit NYC again and watch her beloved Broadway musicals.
At 730am, we were already on our way to NYC by Bolt Bus. The bus driver warned us that NYC has a heavy snow storm. I had a feeling that the talk might be canceled. Hehe..And yes..at about 930am, I got an email that "due to the weather condition, both the talk and banquet will be canceled!". Thanks God! He turned my "business trip" to be a 100% vacational trip!
We checked in the hotel at about 3pm and took a short nap. We then headed off to Time Sq. to see if we can get some good deal of the last minute tickets for Broadway shows. We thought people would be staying home, and so we could get some really cheap tickets. The fact was totally opposite to what we thought. We could still see a crowd of people in Time Square, tho' the snow storm warning was issued! Well..I guess this is New York. Finally, we could still get a 50% off ticket for Billy Elliot. It's my first time watching this musical. What a touching musical!
On Sat, we visited the Statue of Liberty. It's really worthy to pay for the ferry ticket and see the statue in such a close distance. In the afternoon, we watched Phantom of the Opera. It was Sandra's dream to watch it in Broadway and I have fulfilled her dream! Yeah. The musical was wonderful - Phantom sang so well!
