C'est la vie~

7 weeks in New York already! I can't believe time starts to pick up so fast when everything is nearly perfect here. We've been working really hard here, making Sky Coaster the best ride in the whole park. hahaha and i think we did it by looking at how our supervisors praise us in front of all. it felt so good to be appreciated! the freedom that I've tasted is so sweet and overwhelming. the ability to make decisions by myself makes me feel like i'm finally really in control of my life. not like i've been trapped back home. it's just a different feeling to depend on my own.. earning my own money and using it for a living.. i feel like a partial adult, yet struggle to remain youthful.. cuz being an adult is something i wanna delay. i still don't have the courage to hold all responsibility. right here, i'm like a partial adult cuz we have our kind and awesome landlord -Mic- to take care of us. He advises us like a father and take care of us like a mother. he's really great. Our work supervisors are great too, always making sure we're fine and loving life. through them, I've learnt to find joy in everything i do.. even sweeping the floor. it's really amazing how the Americans here feel cheerful and happy everyday. even when the day is screwed and atmosphere is tensed, there's still a smile at the end of the day. how nice! in singapore, it never happen. i love working here!

since I'm into my 7th week here, it's natural to make good friendships and find more identities with other people. there are China Chinese, Turks, Taiwanese, Indonesians and of cuz Singaporeans here. I've learnt a little things about everyone everyday. Every night after work is our time to mingle among ourselves and gossip about the day. we'll share food we bought from walmart and discuss what's cheap to buy. we'll think of where to go during our days off. that's what I like best. haha.. it feels so good to walk around the motel and know almost everyone and drop some talks along the way. and everyday after work, Carol, Leona and I will wonder "what's the flavours at Martha's Ice Cream today?" so we'll seek to taste different flavours every time we visit Martha's. small little things like these are the saddest when we're missing the time here. i can almost imagine myself missing the time here when i'm back home. even the word "home" confuses me now. Martha's Motel room 104 feels like "home" to me already.

oh well.. time here is good. and sadly, it's ending soon. 3 and a half months suddenly feel so short! I have another 8 weeks more to go here. I shall cherish every moment I can! when situations were pretty dull, I will inevitably think of the chinese song saying "piao yang guo hai wo chi de qi ku!" hahaha! yeah.. seek joy in everything u do. that explains best.

I'm already imagining myself missing the times here! arhh! 8 more weeks to enjoy this!
