I'm back from the US. It was a rather nice trip, and the jet lag wasn't so bad this time round. Only I slept a lot less there (I could wake up at 6am...though maybe it's cos their 6am is as bright as our 10am) and sleep was really knocked-out sleep.
(1 week later edit:) Ok, the jet lag is bad. I'm alternating between days with 12 hours of sleep and days with no sleep. It feels kind of trippy but irritating cos I can't seem to get anything done.
ANYWAY
It was nice there, though really cold and dry. Lots of pretty flowers. Spring might be my new favourite season
Day #0
Whee on the plane! I managed to get a window seat for the first time in years! There was lots of nice sky up there....I saw lots of stars, like the kind you see in movies when there aren't lots of clouds....And actually managed to see the sun rising. The sky is the best place to watch it IMO=)
Day #1
A day to explore the place. A cold, dry, breezy place but they have lots of pretty flowers. Went to get all the school stuff done there.....they had a tour.....there was lots of walking, and surprisingly became quite hot in the afternoon.
Day #2
Went to church there! It's about 3 train stations away, but walking lets you see all the cool churches, parks and stuff. In afternoon it got as hot as Singapore 0.o
Day #3
More exploring...... and stuff
Day #4
Went to explore Harvard.....but in the end was too lazy to walk around so ended up eating these really nice burgers. They have funny names: "The Facebook", "The America Idol", "The Obama", etc. Started shopping for presents for people
Day #5
Feeling jet lagged (still) so hung around in the hotel.
Day #6
We drove back up to New York. Shell was there! It was nice and warm compared to Boston. She brought us to the Nintendo shop! Cue geek-mode. They have so many cute pokemon plushies and I wanted to buy them all but they wouldn't fit in my suitcase and anyway I have lots at home and if I'm going to move there I'll have lots more chances to buy them anywayyy!!!!
I got some shirts for people and myself. Hehe, Mine has Lumas on them. I like Lumas.
Hehe Luma~
Day #7
Flying hoooooome again.......
And got home just in time for Singapore to be raised to Orange Alert. So that meant an extra week of house arrest.......
