New York, New York trailer

It's finally registered in my head, I'm going to New York this Sunday the 15th of March! Oh my goodness! I've never been to the USA let alone New York! There's so much I want to do, so much I need to prepare, so much to get done before leaving it's not funny.

I'm actually fighting time now because I'm try to get everything done before I head off this Sunday and well time's just flying. Heck, I'm late for my Day 10 entry here because I've been pushing so hard trying to crank out all the work one by one.

So have you been to New York before? I've heard mixed stories about it, people saying it's dirty but fun, it's full of life but people are rude, etc. I suppose having lived in Hong Kong all my life and only enjoying USA via TV shows and movies, I'd be more than happy to get there and keep screaming (in my head) "Oh my goodness! I've seen that on TV! I've seen that on TV!" I can't wait to just walk around there on my own for a whole day, visit museums, go to Central Park, eat Pizza, have a hot dog, drink coffee, shop (I'm from HK damnit!), look at all the graffiti, hit the comedy clubs, watch street basketball games, take the subway and just generally soak in New York, New York! As one of my friends said, it's so good they named it twice, New York New York!

Any tips? Any experiences you'd like to share? I'd love to hear from you as to where I must or must not go.

Back to life here, it's already Wednesday, and I'm charging through my inbox and all my work pending to be completed and I must say, I'm feeling a bit stressed out because I've started to build a certain level of discipline that is enforcing itself, by itself. It's a good thing, but the problem is that darn thing we call time again. I've got a lot of things to do, and I want to do them, but somehow I don't have enough time to do them all. Darn.

Speaking of time, I've finally reloaded my Phantom of the Opera music into my play list and I'm loving it. It's been quite a while since I last worked while listening to this album. I've gotten a bit tired of Buddha Bar mostly because I hate it when I go to a cafe and they're playing it there, it makes me feel like I'm back at work.

For those of you who've been reading my blog recently, you'll notice I talk a lot about different music for different situations. It really works, my mind has been conditioned with certain songs that it shifts into a different mental zone upon hearing different songs. I suggest you give it a shot on days when you feel like you just can't get yourself to focus or get into the right mind-set. I have yet to find music to get my mind at optimum condition for stand-up comedy, then again, I suppose it's better that I just watch the show and all the comedians before me, that'll get my blood flowing from laughter.

There's a long day ahead of me and a long, fun 2 weeks waiting for me on the other side of the planet, so I shall sign off here and continue after my trip (no idea about Internet status while there) so I hope everyone has a great March ahead of them and we're almost 25% done with 2009! Scary eh? :) Well that should get you motivated to live!

New York, New York! :D
