my mumble in a jumble: completing the uncompleted

*blows dust off independentpjgirl.blogspot *

ah-chhhOooo!! ohman, what alot of dust.... *sniff*sniff*

well, it's been awhile since I last blogged eh? hehe.. during one of my mamak sessions last week, my friends were commenting about how dead my 'dead' blog has been.

*pooof* all of a sudden I just felt that even though I may not have the time/ inspiration to blog, I should just finish blogging about the Work & Travel episode of my life. not very nice to have things left hanging la...=)

exactly one year ago, at this time of the year, it was my last few days working for Anheuser Busch. travelling plans up north from Orlando to Washington DC and then to New York were already confirmed.

goodbyes were said to the place we called home for 3 months and as usual, goodbyes are never easy. it was a good thing we placed 'travelling' as the closure for our Work and Travel adventure because it really helped speed up the recovery from the 'goodbye syndromes'.

At Washington DC, I separated from the group because I stayed with my aunt and family who lives in Maryland, Annapolis (about an hour drive away from Washington DC). Well, I felt kind of sad to leave the group, yet excited to meet my long, lost, faraway relatives.

After only 2 nights at Peck-bee koko's beautiful house, I had to leave to meet the rest of the gang at New York. THREE CHEERS AND HURRAY for the Independentpjgirl (ME!) who braved herself and took the notorious yet surprisingly reliable GreyHound coach up to New York, ALL BY HERSELF! Clunging not only to my life but also my stuff (2 mega luggages and 2 hand luggages), I slept (and pretended to sleep) through the entire journey to prevent myself from thinking that I was going to get robbed/stabbed/shot by the really weird yo-yo people on the bus. Manz, I tell you..the yo-yo people, they came in all sorts of shapes and sizes!

As soon as I got off the Greyhound coach, I saw Seok Kheng and the rest of the gang all waiting for me at the New York bus station...wow..until today, i still don't know how to describe the feeling I felt at that moment when I saw their faces. It was like as if all of my 5 senses were triggered at one go!..haha..i just felt really, really relieved, happy, loved and most importantly ..SAFE!haha.. THANKS SEOKIE, WEIMING, JM, WL, SUEN and JF for saving me!

And that marked the beginning of our adventure in the Big Apple... Picture time!!
