A Dream Come TrueOver dinner last Friday evening, my mum suddenly asked me if I wanted to go to US for a month and stay with San, her sister, and her mum. (Her sis works there)YES I do!! was my reply.And since then, it has been a whirlwind of activity, with mum booking me a flight to NYC, talking to San's mum on the phone and arranging everything, San telling me what there is to do there, me telling San what I want to do there... What started out as a little idea has suddenly become a reality, and I'm so excited!! I went to US when I was in Sec 2, but I've never set foot in NYC before. And now I'll get to spend almost an entire month in NYC, busying myself with museums, Central Park, Shakespeare readings, Times Square, checking out their way of life, and just being a part of NYC. I just spent the entire evening booking myself tickets to 5 different musicals and 2 concerts, at the same time depleting Dad's credit card of about SGD$800. It's horribly indulgent, but my parents keep telling me that since I'm flying all the way there, I should just do what I really want to do. I LOVE MUSICALS! And I can't believe that in the short span of 4 weeks, I'll be catching these:- La Cage Aux Folles- New York Philhrmonic Orchestra feat. Gil Shaham- Sweet Charity- Evita- Spelling Bee- Dirty Rotten Scoundrels- JVC Jazz Festival - "Always Welcome"I don't know what I did to deserve such wonderful parents, who are willing to spend so much to let me have a taste of a life that I've always dreamed of living, and for going to so much trouble to make sure that I enjoy myself. I'm really looking forward to taking walks in Central Park, looking at the cute dogs that San told me about, staying beside a Fire Station (oooo, hot firemen!) and living 5 mins away from church. Oh, and who can forget the amazing shopping? I won't even mind seeing the disgusting black rats I remember from the subway. The only little thing that worries me is that Owen and Sunshine will be sad. =l
