Last weekend in Boston

Last boston weekend

Now i'm in New Haven..i'm missing Boston sooo much! All the memories of vanderbilt hall, longwood medical area, the tube, newbury street and of course, MGH..will be etched in my memory forever!

But it was a fabulous weekend to end off my stay in Boston! Nic came down from Yale, New Haven..and we had a sumptious dim sum lunch at Chau Chow in Chinatown. (Chinese food never tasted soo good!)

Nic really brought good weather with him! Boston turned all summery and pretty this weekend.. We had a nice walk across Boston common..where we saw people lazing by the greens, taking a ride in boats on the lake, and the animals werwe out and about too! Many squirrels scampered across our paths, and we saw a really adorable sight of a mother duck and her nest of ducklings! Aawwww...

Douglas, Mark, Nic & i had a really nice afternoon strolling along newbury street. Everyone was in their pretty summer frocks & laid back casuals and the al fresco cafes were all abuzz with people chilling over cappucinos and iced teas. The weather was also perfect for Ben & Jerry's ice cream..and the streets were filled with people licking their ice creams in sheer contentment.

Before dinner, we popped by Fenway Park for some phototaking. Vanderbilt hall is actually really near the park and Mark and I have been saying we must visit the stadium for a red sox game before we leave..but that never materialized. Well, next time I come to Boston i better catch a game! Fenway Park is the home of the Boston Red Sox, and resounds with the echoes of great baseball players: Cy Young, Babe Ruth, Jimmy Collins to name a few.

Dinner was another yummy affair. Met Joanna and other Sinagporean harvard students at Kaya, a famous japanese-korean dining place. It was a fantastic meal of BBQed succulent beef slices, beef tongues, kimchi, tofu, UNAGI (yay!!!) and rice.

Yups..anyways..i've had a really unparalled experience in Boston. And just wanna say a big 'Thank you' to all the nice Bostonians and non-Bostonians i've met..You've all made my stay in Boston a truly precious one, and i would not have given it up for anything else in the world!

Of course I can't forget to thank Mark for being a great hallmate! Thanks for helping me with my laundry..for all the conversations over dinners in the Vanderbilt kitchen..weekend breakfasts at Au bon pain or starbucks..Not forgetting that very good al dente pasta with pesto sauce and fresh juicy prawns that you whipped up..Not bad at all for a first try Chef Mark!
