fiRSt Post iN hOustOn (PaRt 1)

for those eagerly awaiting this entry.. it's finally here!

yes! i'm finally here in texas, houston posting my experience over here for the past 2 days. as it is too long, i'll divide it into 3 parts.

i'm keying this entry as I'm transiting at Narita Airport, Tokyo. unfortunately, i'm unable to access their wireless network bcoz i need a user id and password (aka Singtel, QMax and iCell).
it's 5pm in tokyo here (s'pore 4pm) but it's so freaking DARK here liaoz. juz like it's past 8 in s'pore. *surprised

the flight here was not good. caught a cold and kept sneezing all the way here. and i still have a runny nose now. *sniffs..

special thx to all who came to send me off today. nai nai, ye ye, mum, dad, michelle, brian, liwei, ah min, isaac (emcom), qixiang and his gf. realli appreciate the tot.

i forgive those who wanted to come but overslpt de. *lol.. you noe who u r.. *haha
the tot of my nai nai, mum and dad tearing is still etched deeply in my mind. esp my dad. i find it hard to believe tt he act cried. i guess the strongest person oso has a vulnerable side. *sobz..
dun worri larz.. i'll try my best over here. hopefully my room mates r nice pple so tt i can study in peace (when i need to..)

somehow this still feels like a dream to me.. i still can't bring myself to accept the fact tt i'm about to start sch in US soon. *sighz..

i can't afford to look back le.. though i can't c the road ahead.. but i'll juz have to stride forward bravely and overcome wat is yet to come..
