Heh, tired.

Work is different here. Lots to keep me busy. Work starts around 8, lunch is just enough time to go grab it, and work ends at 6. Heh, different from the Melbourne routine, but at least it’s been interesting so far. It’s only been a week plus, but did my fair share of mucking up stuff. At least everything is fixable, it just takes time and it’s part of the learning process. I guess I’m not the kind to learn from a textbook, where you read up and just regurgitate it. Sure, understanding plays a part, but I need to know how things work inside out, so no point just knowing that if you do A then B will happen. I need to know the why in between A and B.

Still not much afterwork activity. A little too tired after work anyways. Just waiting for the weekend, and at least next Monday is a holiday, so I will take some time to catch up with stuff. Heh, life now is all round catching up. Catching up with how things flow through at work. Catching up with things happening to friends and family on the other side of the world. I’ve been getting confused with the time zones, always mistaking day for night and vice versa with what’s happening in Melbourne and Malaysia.

NYC is just like any other city at the moment. After the excitement dies down, one still needs company for other things anyway. Doing all these things on my own now, and blogging about it only conveys half of what I feel. Not much. Pictures are worth a thousand words, but still too tiny to describe feelings anyway.

I don’t know. Feeling empty at the moment. Not much optimism coming from anywhere now.

On a side note, managed to get live text telecast of today’s UEFA Champion’s League final. It’s the first time I’ve actually “watched” it when the sun was shining brightly in the sky. 2.30pm kickoff local time in NYC. All I got was the commentator saying how Liverpool seemed to be pushing harder but in the end, AC Milan rode their luck and won 2-1. In soccer, it’s all about the finishing touch, and no amount of skillful passing (or lack thereof in this game) will amount to much if you can’t score a goal.

So the soccer season officially ends. Heh, at least next year there would be the European Cup mid month to fill in the gaps of non league soccer. Heh.
