im back from New York and im finally blogging!
yes, and i am New York-sick. you know ppl go for camp and get camp-sick cos they miss it so much? i am NY-sick ):
anyway, Jetlaggedness (?) was quite terrible the first few days. Had terrible difficulty waking up every morning and would most prolly be late on certain days if not for someone. thanks ah! (:
yeah and breakfast seemed too little cos it was supposed to be dinner in NY?
furthermore, since 12noon here was like 12 midnight in NY, we were all like so sleepy by lunch time!
so TGIF. the week has seriously been chionging to catch up on lectures and tutorials, copying notes as well as get as much sleep as possible. and im glad to finally be able to rest for tonight (:

New York Band and Orchestra Festival 2008
it was an amazing trip not only for me, but im sure for the entire band as well.
i forsee that the post would be extremely long if i actually recounted the whole trip. and furthermore, putting them down in words would not do justice to the whole experience as it was simply undescribable.
so, i shall let the pictures to do the talking.(:
but firstly, the main highlight of the trip:

VJCSB performed in Carnegie Hall and we got a GOLD ((:

yes, and i believe that all these would not have happened if we did not put our trust in Him.
im certain that the prayer sessions we had definitely calmed each and everyone of us down as we are reminded that He would always be there for us. like you can just feel His presence with us as the band played. therefore, Thank God for bringing us safely there and back. Thank You for being there with us. and for getting the Gold. Thank You for this entire New York trip (:

and now, PHOTOS! ((:
