Time to update.. yet again..

Ok.. well.. I admit.. I guess I took Looooonnnngggg enough this time round. It's almost a month now.. Which is why I am guilty.. so here I am writing now.. for a rather brief update :D *heehee*

Let me begin with the most significant weekend trip Feb 9th - 12th = OUR Chicago trip = went to many places and the weather was a lil' way too cold *brrrr* the winds were so strong. If only it would be warmer, I guess we'd have enjoyed more~

To begin with my Fave, this.... is the Bean structure!! We call it the Bean but it has a better name actually - The CloudGate but oh well... It sure looks like a bean haha and I love this the best besides the shopping in Chicago :D

The front view...
The side now...
5 SMU "Enthusiasts" doing the SMU jump (yes.. in Chicago lolx)Oops and I forgot to mention.. the Bean is in the Millenium Park.. nice place :D This is yet another sculpture behind me..
The Bean from afar.. You can actually see Chicago's cityscape on it :D Very pretty heehee.. it's all reflective and it's quite nice lar.. :D

Next moving on to the John Hancock building (one of the tallest buildings in Chicago).. we had a drink at the Signature Lounge and took these pictures there :D
The 3 "piggies" with Chicago cityscape behind us..

This is the Cityscape taken from the Signature Lounge @ the 96th Storey.. it was dusk then..
YEt another one taken from the other view.. this shows the Lake Michigan alongside..

These are some of the city scenes taken..
The below is a building known as the water tower.. it's supposed to be quite famous though I dun rmb why heehee

Hm.. Does the following Ferris Wheel ring a bell? If you had read the book "Five people you meet in Heaven" you might then roughly know what I am going to reveal next.. the place where the author died (in the story)... *drum rollzzzzzz*


The NAVY PIER !!! And no.. Old Navy and Navy pier have NO link haha.. in case u are wondering lolx..Navy pier is just a theme park where most rides are not opened in the freezing weather when we went.. :S The Field Museum.. the "Night in the Museum" look-alike.. sighz.. but I couldnt find the structure in there.. and the staff told us that the show was screened in NY's Natural History Museum.. oh well.. At least I got to see some dinasaurs fossils.. the one below is Sue.. one of the most complete dinasaur fossils.. I think.. haha oh well.. anw, it's a dinasaur..





The Famous Dip Dish pizza!!! For: Mozarella lovers.. there's like a ton of those in there.. free-flowing and definitely filling!!! :D The crust is slightly different.. Not too bad a dish heehee






And yes, this picture of us eating Dimsum was taken in Chicago!! L to R: Er zhu, San zhu and Da zhu.. lolx..

This is the Chinatown.. in our 3 days there.. we went to Chinatown to eat at least a meal a day.. how we miss Singapore food *droolx* esp. my pratas!!!


--> The Chicago Theatre

Finally.. one last look at the Chicago city scape... Tataz Chicago~ Till we Meet again~~ ^.^
