Finally, I am going back, its like going home... New York City, the place I once called home.
Fell in love with NYC when I first visited in Aug 1997 (did a road trip with Tom, his ex, and Ku Ren). I love that place so much that I woke up at 8am in the morning, and spend 10 hours or so walking in Manhattan and got back to Ku Ren's place at about 9pm or so...Ku Ren's Mom was so amased that I spent so much time walking in the city every day.
After that trip, I told myself that I want to live there for a while, and I did that for 2 yrs after graduation.
I always wanted to go back, and to see if I will still like it. After travelling extensively for the last few year, I have come to realise that our feeling or perception changes every time when you visit the same place.... even with Malaysia.
''Thanks'' to the US Embassy in London... I can go there again this Friday (if the immigration officer allows me to go in).
NYC, I am coming... please do not dissapoint me. If you do, I guess I will try to find an excuse to love you again.... When you are in love with someone or something, you tend to find excuse to embrace it. However, I am not sure if I still Love you (as much as I did 7 yrs ago). Because I do fell in Love with some other cities over the last few years, you are not the only one anymore.... but hey, try your best ok.

Feeling keeps changing from time to time. We will be impressed by something for the first time, and the feeling will not be happened again for the second time, because we used to have it, experience it and etc... We are using another angle to view the same thing. This is how I look at it.
Enjoy your trip and do take picture and share with us... Take care.
What?! you are coming to US this Friday?!!?!!?!?! To the east coast, and not coming to the west coast???
By the way, I really like your writing about this. I have the same feeling towards some points you mentioned.
Road trip back then... memorable!
