it's 4 am in nyc, the city that never sleeps. i've been sleeping quite little since i came here. my last day in nyc and i think i might not be sleeping at all. i'm gonna get to central park at 6am to watch norah jones and sarah mclachlan. then i'll buy some stuff for the people putting me up, then i'll prepare and go to JFK and fly back to singapore... I've listened to john pizzarelli, keith urban, dixie chicks, the EAGLES (best concert i've been to in my life) live, and i think i shall never be the same again. haha. a couple of weeks ago i was sooo looking forward to flying back to singapore. but human nature is a paradox, is ironic. i'm gonna miss usa. i'm gonna miss being on my own. i'm gonna miss being alone. i'm gonna miss taking it easy(unless i take it easy in singapore). but yes. i think i've learnt stuff here. and i've really enjoyed myself. i've really enjoyed new york city. i think i've enjoyed new york the most. cos over here i didn't really do much touristy stuff, but i did a lot of stuff that the locals do, like walking very fast on the streets, looking sian, taking the subway at 1am, walking home at 2am. taking the bus, walking everywhere. not taking pictures. feeling like a local. that's the way to experience a city man. but ok la i did quite a lot of shopping here also.. very thankful for my medicine friend here whom i've been hanging out with.. i guess that's a friendship deepened too. thank God for his blessings, i'm so thankful for my parents and especially junxu, and all the people here who have helped me in some way.. also to the strangers on the streets. everybody. USA is massive, USA is a country very much in need of God's grace and redemption, and the movement of His Holy Spirit. It is a country very much on my heart. Goodbye USA i will see you soon.
