nearly december
I've been in NY for almost two months now. Time has flown by: ISMRM deadline, Pete came and gone, and I'm off to SF next week to meet a couple of professors. I am enjoying the experience, seeing what industrial research is like and meeting new people. It's snowing today but probably not going to be too heavy *touch wood*.
Many things are done differently here. Duh. I have not seen an electric kettle in use. I don't know what people would talk about if the elections hadn't just happened, and if the economy was doing well. I also never thought that I would have problems understanding someone else, here.
It's interesting, I can't remember if it is just as how I felt when I was first in Cambridge. I remember how I felt when I left Changi for Cambridge. I was so excited and felt I was embarking on such an adventure, with a new digital camera in hand. Then I went on so many trips to Europe, took up scuba diving, went to Egypt just before the war broke out in Iraq, spent a summer in NC, met Pete, spent a couple of weeks backpacking in Cuba.
I think that semi-adventurous spirit will always be in me. (Very oddly, I was never an adventurous kid. I was more the spoilt baby girl.) But I'm too old to do it alone. I miss Pete and I really rather share everything I see and hear with him. It used to be "rather do it alone than never have done it". Now it's closer to "rather not do it than to do it alone". How times have changed.
It is little over seven years since I've been away from home. And now, together with Pete, we hope to move on to a new life away from Cambridge. It's so exciting thinking that we will be experiencing something totally new, together. Plans are still in progress to make the move and *fingers crossed* hope that they will work out fine.

dancing
I went dancing today. There was a halloween party and I went along. I haven't been dancing in such and such a long time. It was so much fun. And I wasn't even drinking because I had to drive back. It felt so good. I miss my dancing days.
