hello from new york city!it's tuesday 1106pm here, and i'm getting ready for bed haha.it's been quite fun so far i guess...i'm not really a walk around and see sights kind of person. plus the fact that its sooo cold around here.at least, to me.so that makes me miserable :( haha.my idea of a vacation is somewhere with weather i can stand, waking up and deciding that maybe i don't want to do anything for the day, just laze around, walk alot less, shop when i have the mood, and definitely someplace i don't have to fly so far to.haha don't get me wrong, it's been fun on this holiday! it's just probably a holiday i wouldn't plan for myself.
anyway, so far we've been about nearly a week in here.spent like nearly 2 days travelling, of which i wanted to die.the flight was terrible i hate flying!thinking of having to fly back is just...terrible terrible terrible.arrived at washington dc, crashed the night and then headed up to niagara falls in canada the next morning.the falls was fantastic!although if you think about it it's just water flowing, but the sight's really amazing.spent a day in toronto, up the CN tower.then on monday we headed to nyc, where we are now.new york is...everything i expected, and everything i did not too.haha.it's really cool going to the streets and avenues which all sound so familiar yet you've never been there before.like madison avenue, 5th avenue, the numbered streets, wall street, broadway...haha!and all the familiar sights, like the yellow taxis, brooklyn bridge, empire state building, the subway, times square...oh but nyc is kinda dirty.the roads aren't very nice, traffic is terrible, and the people walk really fast.haha.oh and everyone walks around with newspaper in one hand, and coffee cup in the other.and starbucks is EVERYWHERE.been eating quite a lot i think.and the portions are just crazy.
we'll be in nyc til saturday, where after that we'll be heading to boston, then back to washington.haven't really shopped much yet, cos there's nothing really much to get in canada and in new york.david's got quite a lot of souvenirs, but i'm still having a headache figuring out what to get for everybody haha!
oh i think they're shooting a movie or something downstairs outside our hotel.there's trailers and lights and big trucks and everything.so cool right?haha.
okay, til the next time we get free wireless access in our room! :D

flying tmr! lots of things to do tmr before that though. have to go back to ac to pick up my grad cert cos i think it's too risky to ask manfred to be my brother/father haha! cos only immediate family members can collect on behalf...and it has to be done before 26th june i think. yup hopefully my brother can drive me there! then its back to more packing. and then off on the jet plane!
3 weeks seems to be really long :( like, now's the start of june, and by the time i'm back june will be over and july comes, and that means school is starting soon! no time no time!
a glimpse to what it might be...i want to make it work. (:

back from leader's retreat at william booth from friday night.it was okay la, like an extended, no time deadline leader's meeting in a home setting.amelia is soo paranoid!she was like, is the blanket clean?is the pillow clean?ahhh i don't like the toilet!!!really really tired now, didn't sleep much.and i blame meanie yurong!cos she brought in ritz biscuits while we were going to sleep and tempted us to eat.then amelia and cheryl couldn't take it and went in search of more food.and it was already like 2am.so the whole of today my head was just pounding.from the internal heat, external heat, the lack of sleep or the lack of fresh air...i don't know.anyway after the whole thing ended, went to watch terminator at jurong point.haha yes, seriously just asking for it.and the show was so loud!mel minghui and i were like spending half the time covering our ears.the show was okay la.realised that i've been watching shows that i have no idea what the plot is beforehand.
so yes i need to sleep now, or it may be more than just a headache tmr and then my mom would nag me to death.leaving on a jet plane like three days from now...so not looking forward to the plane journey :(
There is no one like our God
i think i don't know what exactly i'm doing and what's my plan.although maybe i can hold out till i stop in july and then that'll be the end of it.i think right now it's just feigning ignorance till i can trust myself be in complete control.and absorbing myself in the other where i should have stayed right from the start.
