where thoughts materialise.

So we're into the sixth version of my blog after the last version hung around for a year or so.

Now, a bit of info on this image. This photo was taken one lovely spring afternoon, featuring the iconic Old Well from the UNC Chapel Hill campus. I would like to think of this image as a tribute to my time in UNC Chapel Hill, the awesome friends I made and the memories I now hold dear.

A milestone in my life indeed.

I've dropped the tagboard cos its useless and taking eons to load. But thanks to Angela who helped me set it up, I still do like and will miss the pink interface.

So yeah, it's the sixth one you fellas!

Yours.

Hi all,

I am in New York now (as you probably already know) but very unfortunately have no access to internet on my laptop. So lovely photos have to wait.

I went to Broadway, Times Square and Rockerfeller Center today and man the photos look darn good. Do look out for that when I can upload em probably on Jan 6th when I move into my dorm.

Anyway, I watched "The Color Purple" at Broadway Theatre and manage to get "Rush Tickets", meaning I paid dirt cheap prices for front row seats! Woohoo! That amounts to $26.50 for being 5 metres away from Fantasia. Did I mention that Fantasia was the lead? Oh man, she was so good and thank goodness I managed to catch her cos she would be ending her run come Jan 7th.

Times Square and Rockerfeller was really crowded, I can't imagine how it would be like tomorrow. But the photos turned out lovely. I wish there was a way I could share it with you now.

Trivia 1: You know the typical NY scene where you see smoke coming out of manholes from the road? The smoke stinks! Sewage, like shit. I nearly puked when I crossed the road. It ain't cool, trust me.

Else, I survived subway rides between Manhattan to Queens, where I'm stayin at the moment.

I am still wondering what makes NY a world/global city despite its homeless, stinkin manholes and trains in a horrible state. And I am wondering why Singapore, having almost the best and most efficient city planning/transportation in the world, fail to make the mark.

There is something out there, some X-factor which grips the attention of the world that draws people from all corners into this land we call New York. Something tells me it is the lights everywhere, but I suspect there is more to that.
