Journey to the Land of Liberty

Today's my BIG day. I'm finally, finally going to America. I've dreamed of it in my warm bed, counting the days till it came. Now, its here! It might be a long journey, having to take a 5 hour plane trip to Singapore then taking another trip to Sans Francisco that takes 15 hour-ish.

To me the USA is that faraway land where the cool stuff are, the Biggest, the Extreme, maybe not necessarily the Best, but yeah. It's so exciting for me to go outside Asia, I've been to Australia though but this is different. To go so faraway from the familiar Asian environment and experience a place with a melting pot of cultures, is unique according to me. Sure, I know I'll probably land in the US tomorrow or Monday but my journey had begun.

I can't hold my self still! Where I really want to go to  is New York, which has snow. I've never seen real snow before. I've been to Snow City in Singapore and Ski Dubai in (duh) Dubai, which are recreated snow environments, but never real snow. Are they fluffy? Will they melt in my hands? Is it like crushed ice? Can't wait to make snow angels!!!

Also I know this is my first post in along time, I've been too caught up in school work and studying. In India studies are very competitive and you need to work hard if you want good marks. Which reminds me, last month my school started yoga for sports and it is compulsory. My flexibility has it's limits you know and when you put me to do such things, eh! It hurts my thighs and stretches my muscles, I can feel its pulling. We're also doing a yoga performance and we're getting graded on it, the marks will be added to our exams. The school coordinator, which is like a Prime Minister at a school level, tells that my class (as in my whole grade) is pathetic. That's her favourite word to describe us, the "Useless" *Sarcasm* Lot.

(Lights goes out, Screams NOOO!!!!)

Oh yes, I can just hear yelling through her mic Pathetic Class 7! Pathetic you are! Class 5 can do better than you! After a month of practice this is what you give me?! Pathetic! By the way, I don't hate her, I just wish she'd give us more support and not tough love. Though I guess we do need it, we're not exactly the bunch who use our ears. So maybe tough love is good, but can't she give us more ahem... Soft love? Does that make sense? Like nicely....

Than there's our exams that's coming in 2 months! Gosh can't wait for it! Yipee! *Sarcasm* I like school and all, I like learning and knowing new things. But I don't like the dread that comes with it, exams. You've to revise the whole syllabus once again and then get tested for it. The pressure I'm under when I see the exam date getting nearer and nearer,then... BANG! It's just tomorrow! You try to sleep not thinking a thing about it, but it's impossible. What if you forget something? What if you totally blanked out when you see the paper? You try to sleep but in the end only get a few hours of sleep. This time I'll try study harder and start studying for it after I come back from my holidays.

I'm starting my holidays a week early, so that means I'm missing a week of school. Sure that's great and all, the fact I'll be taking pictures on the Statue of Liberty while my friends sit in school doing a test, but then I'll have to do a whole load of tests when I come back. Sigh. School pressure gets me everywhere I go. That's what they like to do, they have alot of tests before holidays so kids remember to study. But trust me, who likes studying during their vacations? I surely don't. I just hope I remembered most of the stuff we've learnt, I so don't want to get brain washed! You know that happens right? Happens to me all the time. Forgetful 'ol me! (Note to self- Don't forget yoga poses)

Another thing I want to tell you, Singapore got flooded. Again. It got flooded last year (or was it this year?) but I never thought it'll flood again. Must be all the trash being thrown into the gutters and drains. Here's a song explaining it all, it's from last year but it's basically the same incident this year.

And here this is my personal favourite song from the same Youtuber (which explains the Singapore Presidential Election Candidates):

LOL.

30 minutes till I have to leave! Brrr.... My fingers are getting numb anyways so I gotta go! I hope this makes up for all the days I didn't post! I have so much to tell you but I don't have the time! I promise I'll tell you when I get back or during the holidays (though that seems unlikely). Oh yeah almost forgot! Shout out to fellow blogger,Luma, for getting 13 (am I right?) followers! Congrats!

I'll tell all about my trip, most probably when I get back!
