reached..

finally, i've arrived to the Land of the Free.. after 2 years of prayer (well, i wasn't that a fervent prayer..)

thank you all for sending me off and am really appreciated it.

due to my recent exposure to korea, i began to fall in love with its language and country. reached seoul at bout 930am (m'sia time) and begin walking around the transit terminal. it's huge!! wish that i could snap pictures but i've got no camera :( i just love the way the air stewardess speak the language politely (korean airlines from kl-seoul-jfk). spent rm50 just to get 10000 won to get a decent meal. and since i was in korea, i wanna try some authentic korean cuisine but can't find. Went for KFC instead but later found out that there's a shop selling korean cuisine opposite to KFC! sobs

and i left for JFK by 11am (10am m'sia time). 13 hours on the seat is really tiring and gave me butt sores. the remedy? this korean dude introduced himself to me. i appears he's back to New Jersey a summer's long break. we talked about each other's countries and later found out that he's a Christian too! Double amen. He's name (man shong-something, sorry dude i forgot). i'll just call u man anyway.

touched down on JFK on the 22nd August 2007 (1155am New York time- 2355 m'sia time). it's 12 hour difference in time. Me and Man queued up to clear customs for nearly an hour!

Finally my father's friend picked me up and brought me to Queens. Brought me to this district called Flushing (don't ask me why the name). Flushing appears to be nicknamed United Nations. Wow, just look at the number of Asians (Chinese, Korean, Pakistani, Japanese) walking around. It doesn't feel like you're in America though. Then he brought me to a thai restaurant where u can find fried kuey tiow and ice kacang. not bad. Just had curry beef. (not as authentic as from m'sia, but it's the close as u can get). Now i'm in his house in dix hills, long island. nice house, and he has a large back yard (kinda like a small forest with all sorts of vegetation). but i haven't got a dslr! :(

how's the temperature? Cooling, 14-16C. feeling way sleepy now, that's why my writing's weird. like genting when it's at night.

jet lag? (shut eye a little while in car). kinda feel little sleepy now...

till then, God Bless!
