lincoln - chicago day 1

summer kicked off with my trip to chicago and west lafayette...
since everytime we (12th INTIMA AUP committee) planned to meet up but always fail
so wan yi n i decided that we make a trip just the two of us to chicago...

and it was one heck of a priceless experience...
the $183 round trip air ticket to chicago was blown away by this awesome trip

started off with flight cancellation...
then went back to the airport the next day...
flight confirmed!

not much...my 2.04pm flight became 3.25pm...

after all the hassle, i was another step closer to chicago and to meet up with wan yi!
hallelujah
leaving lincoln!

and travelling by train from o'hare to jacksonville
memories flashback! KTM days from nilai-pudu!!! =D

the moment i stepped out from the station, i see HIGH RISE BUILDINGS!!!
ftw!!!
the fast paced city life =)

i took on a bet on turning left to get to the skydeck, with NO maps...
totally by feel and of course
wrong feel
fml!

since i went left and didnt get to the correct direction i walked back to the right from the train station and of course i made it there
=)

then wan yi managed to reach skydeck at 6pm!!!

the bits and pieces of us at skydeck /willis tower/ sears tower

and since it was only 8pm, we also decided to dash over to john hancock observatory by foot!
and of course another wrong choice made...
it was hell so farrrrrrrrrrr!!! and obviously didnt like it much since my backpack was a huge one!
=(

but we still made it there!
proud, no? =)

then we left at 10.30pm and get some dinner/supper for to go and catch the last train back to wan yi's uncle's place to put up a night

hi chicago!

we were so lucky that we actually managed to get the last train at 11.20pm, considering we left john hancock at 10.50pm, running across streets and streets for maybe a mile or two in HALF AN HOUR...
forgive the the tired faces then... :)

love this picture..!!!
