FOX BROTHER'S BAR-B-Q & THE VORTEX

this 2 places have one of the niciest food ever in Atlanta. Located at Little 5 points, Fox brother's bar-b-q is reached by bus 113 MARTA just outside my house. Dont talk about bus 113 la. i 'll complain about it later. got good and bad. haha but thanks to handsome WENYI for being the tour guide of the day!

Fox brother's bbq is one of the best bbq i ever eaten. can fight with B's barbeque in North Carolina. We ordered the Baby Rack Combo which comes with half rack ribs and choice of other meat which we chose the Pulled Pork. O-M-G. When we first saw it, it didnt look that appetizing but with the first bite, oooh la la...DAMN NICE. the bbq ribs is like soft, sweet and tender and melts in ur mouth. the pulled pork is special. doesnt taste like pork doesnt taste fully like chicken either. and their house made sauce is another ooh la la.. damn nice. plus the service is damn good. we made friends with the waitress and another waitress asked me bout my cool cool smittens hahahah. one of the boss, steve was a real nice guy. he saw us taking pictures and offered to help us take one and opened up the place where they smoke their meat for us to see and take pictures. how nice.
the food is so damn nice, they had people filming it la..i heard they are from discovery channel haha how weird.

then we shopped around little 5 points and omg i found this shoe i really really like.. it's 34.95.. and i wanna buy it..sighh need to go count my money first haha!

dinner at vortex was another ooh la la..it's like a biker's gang kinda place and the burgers they sell aareee sooo nicee..kinda reminds me of botak jones. they call themselves a idiot-free-restaurant so the fact that i got to dine there shows that im not an idiot hahah. We ate the coronary bypass burger with 3 slices of cheese, bacon, one egg, one really juicy nice patty and lettuce onions and tomatoes. woww.. the combination is damn nicee. haha and they add abit of chilli in their slaw so i thought chubbo might like it hahaha .. and check out their menu mann .. quite fun to read haha they had other huge-r burger like the double bypass and super dunno wat haha.. cool la

oh and i was pretty amazed at the size of the water. Damn big. haha it like almost the height of the entire straw

haha check their website out if u want: http://www.thevortexbarandgrill.com/menus/WebMenu.pdf. the girls are not as hot as they meant them to be. haha but nonetheless the atmosphere was there. Alrighty time to cook dinner.. adios!!

NEW YORK, I LOVE YOU

I wished i watched that movie. so i know how to compare it with the new york i went.

Wow one place down, more to conquer! hahah seems like we're really on track. Was a jam-packed 4 days3nights new york trip but very fulfilling and i fulfilled some of my lifetime dreams. I saw the statute of liberty though it look really small from where i was but i saw a human form one. haha i went to central park and oh man the feel is damn nicee..they had a small little underground shelter with walls that look damn victorian and a busker playing his cello there. oh man the feel is how nice. the music is how nice. i wanna get married there. hahaha and there were so many nuts on the floor. squirrels running everywhere!! i wished i was a squirrel in central park. there have so many nuts there, there's no way you'll go hungry. Then when i m back in atlanta, the squirrels i see here are so much more skinnier. and the way they run and their tails bushy bushy..sigh so carefree...

oh and the best part: i watched THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA in TIMES SQUARE BROADWAY. WOW OH WOW. one of my dreams in life is to watch the phantom once and i ll be damn satisfied if i caught it in singapore. but guess wat i caught it in real braodway. the orchestra was o-m-g.

i saw brooklyn bridge. washington bull. eat neverending pizzas. empire state building. chinatown. woodsbury shopping outlet. wow. new york was nice. i miss the feeling of walking on the streets at 9pm feeling safe and seeing many people still on the streets. that is not possible in atlanta. haha

oh and u know the best part. I MISSED THE FLIGHT BACK TO ATLANTA. omg la. AGAIN MAN. i never miss so many flights in my life. and it all happened here in US. lucky wenyi was with us. haha but im glad chubs and the rest made it back. missed an extra day of lesson and spent my night in florida, the transit place. Florida is so different. The people in florida are so so so friendly. while queuing for dunkin donuts, people would just chat with u. and it was damn sunny. so niceee.

i wish i could say more about new york. but damn tired. why cant i have another 10 hours more a days... haha okie let the pictures do the talking!

the friendly pizza guy and the pizza he made. yummilicious..

the subways in new york. people would just sing and strum their guitars in the subway. got feel. wish singapore could be like that.
entrance to central park times square at night...
wow and we saw david blaine there..hahaha celebrity mann

washington bull
brooklyn bridge

chinatown in new york. see even macdonalds is in chinese! haha







goodbye new york.
unhappy us when we missed the flight.
happy us after seeing the hotel room. damn nice.

haha chubs just told me the movie, new york, i love you isnt that nice afterall haha oh well, at least i enjoyed the new york i went!

BACK TO SCHOOL

hellllliiiooooo!!

I better blog sooon before leaving for new york tmr. hahah i realise keeping a blog updated is so difficult. it seems like theres tons to do every single day. oh yah I M LEAVING FOR NYC TMR!! times square, central park, broadway, chinatown, manhatten, statute of liberty, new jersey, here i come hahaha but right now, i dont feel a thing. maybe cos i ve been on holiday mode ever since i came here. haha

life's been good so far except for a few hiccups here and there. omg. i can go on bout it the whole day. i got cheated by a black while taking the MARTA one day. and i thought i was smart when i managed to get my boots at only 25 bucks the day before. really. its not safe man. some of them can be really scary. and wait til u go to UNDERGROUND ATLANTA. wow. i saw the most number of blacks in my life there. but some of them can be really friendly. like the nurse in health services. she's so niceee i can talk to her for the whole afternoon. then i got "cheated" at health services when i had to do a chest xray which i supposedly have already done so in singapore. sigh i m feeling really broke these day. first month expenses are so eeewwww. and i havent done my expenses list. me and chubs are really acting like some pooor kid man. we often go hungry during the day and i totally miss the i-can-eat-anything-i-want feel back in ntu. really. and it doesnt help that our appettites are growing exponentially here in atlanta. i m seriously eating like a pig. every hour i feel like eating something. omg. and i m kinda on my way to finishing one big bag of LAYS by myself. haha o-m-g. o-m-g. o-m-g.

Then there's so much admin stuff to settle the first two days. but im glad we are done with it. can u believe it, i actually took the tech trolley up and down 6 times in a day. it's like taking BUS C back in NTU 6 TIMES. 6 freaking times. how sian is it. and we are cheapskates to the max man. cos the undergrad office has a basket of chocolates and starbust. we purposely stood there longer so that we can try out every single flavour and pig out as much there. haha the singapore habits are all coming out man. i can blog bout it one day haha but it ll be so embarassing. you should really see it man.

and i ve never eaten so much pizzas in my life before man. like almost everyday theres a pizza in my life. fatty to the max now. haha ohh and i just ate the nicest subs in my life. FIREHOUSE SUBS omg the meat is just so juicy and tender. sigh i m craving for it again hahah. soon soon. it wont be long before i sink my teeth into those again. haha

this soft drinks dispenser has like 150 different kinds of drinks inside. how amazing. i was safe and chose root beer. nice. hahah the rest had like weird flavours.

ooh its freezing the past few days. damn cold. haha hopefully its gna warm up soon. but when its cold, you get to see frozen fountains and snow hahah.

waking up to snow in the morning. how nice hahha. and they are not nice to walk on. super slippery.
we've been doing lotsa grocery shopping too and let me just show u something from target. haha even trolleys have their escalators too! wow!! hahah
the car we rented to do our grocery shopping at walmart. haha nancy's favourite shopping place now. hhaha cos she gets to buy her kids size clothing.
see wat my school is like.
the 2 buses i take to school every day.

taking the marta where i got cheated. i shall aim to not get cheated again. never. okie needa pack for tmr trip!! see ya all!!
