Another Day, Another Parade


A nice day today but the air is crisp and frosty. You can feel the coldness starting to bite in like needles as the wind kisses your skin. I have given into wearing my coat and even bought a pair of cheap gloves which in all seriousness, don't help much at all. By the way, I am spending money like no tomorrow. It is time to keep a tighter reins on my wallet before I end up washing dishes at some restaurants in Chinatown.

Today is Veterans Day which is an annual American holiday honoring military veterans. The US of A has been in almost every major war in the modern era, notably WWII of course. So there is a lot pride in their soldiers. New York City is swamped with lots of soldiers wearing their medals proudly.

Parade starts at 11.30 am at 5th Avenue. I have to excuse myself from some meetings to run down to 5th Avenue to take a look at the parade.



I can't believe they sliced up the cockpit part of the plane.

U can't be spending as frivolously as me. I am on a purse ban and I think it is not quite working.

Another exciting day for you. All I know was a miserable march-in at my work place that led to a lot of shouting and scolding.

I will be back in Singapore to rejoin you in the boring working life. So don't worry. I am just enjoying the best that I could.
