NYC
There is a sudden urge to fly halfway across the globe to visit the Big Apple. To just walk the streets of New York, visit the original Starbucks and McDonalds and other brands that we've brought in to Singapore.
I guess it's probably an act to try to fill up the not-so-outrageously-exciting-time of my life at the moment. Or rather, I'm trying to find an excuse to travel, get back in touch with my S3 Pro and once again be inspired to write poetry and songs.
Don't get me wrong, I do love Singapore, for the food, the weather and most importantly the people, but being in this comfort zone day in and day out, it's really not easy to think out of the box and find something creative to write about which can drive me nuts. I need to write! I need to know that I'm thinking.
Now why NYC? I have no idea, it's a sudden impulse thing. Pretty much the same reason why I landed myself in Cape Town of all places for my solo graduation trip. I never really wanted to visit the US or Europe, so I suppose it's good that now I finally do want to experience the typical American city.
Or maybe it's not really the place, but just being able to get away from the monotony of local habits. I would very much like to go back to Beijing too, to see how much has changed since last year. My friend in Beijing has bought a siheyuan which he's going to convert into an inn/cafe. I'm so excited for him, because when I was there, I had all sorts of ideas of what I would do if I had a few million RMB and I could buy a big siheyuan at a good location. I thought about having my own boutique inn, with nice F&B outlets to boot, turn it into a 5-star cosmopolitan oriental inn, that will be the first of its kind in Beijing.
But of course in the real world, it isn't always that easy. Hmm...I wonder if Nintendo DS has a similar game where I can realise my dream in a fantasy world. Build a hotel and manage the entire operations -- the marketing of the hotel, the treatment of guests, the business of the dining outlets within the hotel and so on.
Imagine, my own hotel chain...
