Day 5 13/3/09 - USA

Buffalo

Highlight

• Got woken up at 4am from next door’s alarm. I could hear it so clearly I knew exactly what song they were playing and how long they were in the bathroom for.
• Another full day at work. Was looking forward to the clam chowder but they weren’t serving it, so tried the chicken finger, recommended by Lee San instead. As expected, it was terrible, so I don’t have high hopes for the clam chowder when it comes.
• Having a girls’ night out with some work people. Supposed to be dinner and movie. Things started out well, we went to the Jack Astor’s bar for some drinks and snacks, but we couldn’t decide on a movie, so ended up shopping at Walden’s Galleria – found some ski jacket but nothing in my size :(. Went to a few shops but things weren’t very cheap at all, and the things that were didn’t fit me. So good thing I didn’t buy anything.
