From NYC
Hello ppl! Charlene scold me for not updating so finally im getting the chance to!
Im settling in very well here. Im already quite used to the type of life here. My few complains are:
1) one cent coins are so irritating and they always sell things with weird numbers like 98Cents stuff like that
2) They dont include tax in their stuff so u always end up paying more even tho u think something is cheap
3) singapore is so much cleaner!
4) my msn is not working here
But there are lotsa stuff i like too! Like the library has lotsa comics and art books available for free. NYC is a big happening place lotsa things to explore. I only had one class painting so i cant comment on the teachers yet.
I got to see ruomei last week, kept buggin her to come out. we went for lots of chinese food like dim sum, and ate hot pot at her bfs place. QUite fun ok! They are prolly having lotsa fun in disney world here, leaving me all alone in NY.
The ppl here are quite friendly but i dunno how im gonna find some real friends tho, cuz in uni u have different classes all the time.
Im looking for a church that is missions/evangelically minded, cares for the poor and needy, has real brotherhood kinda fellowship. I hope i find what im looking for. Theres so much stuff going on here, and im reading a book that zhenni gave me called 'if not for the grace of God' I keep forgetting that im here cuz of God's grace and his grace will supply every need and im called to depend on and believe in him. I really hope i dont lose focus on why im here which i dunno yet but i figure it mustve soemthing to do with God. One good thing is im alone alot so i get to talk to God alot.
Hope you all will continue to share your stuff here. Nice to see u on the army website charlene... u made such a classic charlene comment i laughed when i saw it. HOng!!! U better meet up the next time i come back or even better come ehre and visit. Naz, keep us updated about ur dad ok? Hope things arent too bad for you. JJ WHERE ARE YOU?? Shoes nice talkin to u... and joyce get well soon!
