08.08.08

8 years ago I was sitting in front of the TV screen with my colleague. The TV reporter announced Beijing will be the host of the 2008 Olympic games. We looked at each other and wondered.... where will both of us be and what will we be doing in 2008?

8 years later.... The opening day of the Olympics days is also my last day at MS. and I have also lost contact with my colleague.... I am sure somewhere in the world she is also wondering where is Eva....

The 100 billion RMB opening ceremony was certainly jaw-dropping. It is amazing how 2 weeks of games and competition create such a hype during the last 8 years. So what is the implications? How is Beijing going to carry on in the future?

08.08.08 it is also an important day for me. I have closed a very interesting chapter of my life and opening another unknown chapter....

What to do for one month in NY?

people keep asking and I kept thinking... Should I travel within the states? Other than the bachelorette party at Vegas... other places I will have to go by myself and thatz no fun....

When I was attending the Juillard school of music conceret at MoMa last nite... I just came to realize.. why dont I stay at the City and really SEE the city?

With all the free events and fee admission to the world-class museum.. why dont I make use of it while I am here?

This is like the summer month that I never had when I was in University.. Imagine, if I have a month.. what would I do?

Free Gallery talks at the MoMa and the Met
Free concerts and plays in Central Park
Museum of Natural History...
Free kayak at the Hudson Bay river
Free movie under the stars
The Free Cheese and Wine for mini gallery openings....
The Botantical Garden
The museums at the F.I.T (too bad their summer school are gone)

and on the side.. I will get back to my fitness regime and cook for Sally-chan with yummy soup. and maybe make use of my final month of health insurance and go for accupunture..

I guess I never really get to ENJOY the city since I was too bothered with work... so...

in retrospect, One month in NY? thatz the best thing that can ever happen! I have my apartment and I still have my MS benefits!

yo... Aug is Eva's month = )
