hello everyone, i know you just~ can't wait to hear my new york story. especially if you even know i went there. so here's some little bits that still drifing about in my double jetlagged mind. i can't believe how little photo i took. no matter how i keep reminding myself to always take a lot of photo, because 1) photo is fun to look at 2) it's always nice to see oneself outside the mirror 3) it's best way to improve photography skill 4) it helps me remember what i did and where i went, etc. however, this time this new lab can make the index photo of all the photo! not the proof photo, but INDEX PHOTO! which is extra nice, like a very wee mini storyboard. apparently it's old news to some people, but i'm non hip to new technology, so i retain the opportunity to get terribly excited by that. it's so cute! some of you will get to be excited by it too when my father is back. telling travel story is not easy. where to begin, and how to make it reasonably short for humanitarian reason. i'll kindly skip the triple stop-start parts because myself might fall asleep recalling it. not the 22 and a half hours spending in cupboard very far above the groud that transported me from Bangkok to New york. maybe the ticket hell though, so that you'll know NOT TO BUY FLIGHT TICKET THAT HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED ALL THE WAY. again, apparent old news to everyone else but me, who couldn't get the flight back as i was supposed to, meaning likeliness to get fired from my dearly beloved job. anyway, in the end i did manage to come home not too late, thanks to my diligent travel agent, who might otherwise have received a poo bomb regularly for the rest of their life. the above might sound like not very fun trip, but in fact i have so much fun i don't know what to start. To every LOVELY one i met there, i wish i can take you home. because you're very cute and entertaining. and very very nice and sweet to me. especially Amanda and Steve, Matthew and Brian, and Laurel who adopt me for long time. and the nice fat fluffy cats you have. it boasts my self-esteem that Madeline liked me a lot. Honey, now i miss your cats! Splat still won the most walking pillow lookalike cat i ever met award. Madeline is more like a moody living stuff toy, with an uncompromisingly naughty face. Amanda's Stupid Kitty..i think this effective name says it all really. that's my cat highlight. let me move a little bit onto some other highlight, such as cows. this is such a good idea! there're cows over the city. each done by one artist. the one in the Empire State is a cow bike, whose license plate word adorns my subject line. they're all very very nice. then there're shops. so many many nice shops for everyone. sadly i couldn't buy anything much because nice things are either pricy compare to my money shortage or no my size. but i love them all the same. shopping is always fun in new city. especially huge and cool city like this. i've been there over 2 weeks and probably have not seen half of the good ones! i simply cannot walk too much. everyday i went back home half wishing i could take my legs off and wrap them in pillows for a long time. i can just feel muscle painfully developing in my feet! but no need to worry about that, now that i'm home it'll go away in no time. and i really like the way you freely live out on your own there. everyone is free to make your own home. and your house is so lovely. now i understand why my friends who live abroad are totally into house decor. i'm quite inspired to do something with my house, as usual when i see nice house and get really jealous. but my house is simply hopeless. anyway, highlight highlight. the magic glass! firstly, the magic bathroom of Bar 89. see through when empty but not see through when you get in. secondly the clever shop window of Miyake. see through when you 're in front but not when you're not. lastly, the bloody shop window of some furniture shop i walked into the first day i arrived. that head injury only strenghtened the jetlag effect. therefore, they're to blame for all the faux pas i did, period. and then there's the picnic. Julie, i'm sorry i failed to bring you birthday present. but i'll make it up. some day. and Mr. Schatz who brought the ultra exotic Durian and lychee fruits, i salute you. both for your courage and thoughtfullness. i simply can not believe my eyes (and nose), to walk into a picnic in Central Park and behold a Durian sitting seductively there. i'm glad you ended up almost like it though. but whatever you do with it, do not ever keep Durian in the bedroom, please. i shudder to think what your neighbour will do to you and your smelly room. and sorry to the delicate one who almost got sick. it's a hard to acquire taste, but worthy. really. also, i'm sorry i went straight to sleep at the picnic, how rude of me. i was a bit sick. medicine's fault! highlight is more but i got to sleep now. maybe until next time. love, oon xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
