in chicago
it’s a lot more freezing here (vernon hills), but still a lot bearable as compared to what i experienced in new york last year.
touched now at noon here yesterday, and went on a little adventure on my own, calling for a taxi and then making my way to the hotel some 40 mins away. that was by far the most expensive cab ride for me thus far. it’s 37usd (plus tips) and the driver got lost and couldn’t find the hotel.
urgh.
thank god i printed out the hotel full address complete with driving instructions and the hotel’s number.
napped the afternoon away and just had dinner at a outlet area abt 30 mins drive from here. nothing much to buy.. also no luggage space for anything else.
i didn’t sleep well last nite. put 2 light sleepers on a queen sized bed, and u turn and toss the whole night, and after hours in the dark.. u just lie awake. :/
chicago is very much like seattle, or rather.. more like lynnwood or belleuve. it really looks pretty much the same.
Cherie
Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
