That's how I would describe my recent trip to NYC. I spent 2 & a half days there and came back physically exhausted but emotionally and intellectually energized.
Here're a few sweet moments:
My virtual-turn-reality friend's 4-year-old daughter, both of whom I met for the very first time, told me, "You are very pretty. I love you!"
Eating an Argentinian ice-cream cone for the first time! Mate - south american green tea - was my flavor of choice. I'll eat it again in a heartbeat. Even better than gelato...yum!
My 11-month niece, whom I also met for the first time, played with me on my lap for an hour.
My mother-in-law gave me a brown bag lunch Monday morning as I was heading to work.
My new-found friend (you know who you are - *wink *wink - thanks!) got me a gift which, unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to take because of schedule conflicts.
More about my trip later.

Hey, thanks about your sweet words too!! Baau was very happy to see you.
readandeat,
How I wish we live closer to each other! Genghis needs someone to speak with in Cantonese. I'm so impressed with Baau's Cantonese.

topaz,
i just sent you an email. hope we could meet when you're in the big state!
eva,
you know, the one thing that i'm so pleased about blogging is that i got to meet (online & off) all these wonder women from/in hk!
we're miles away but i really feel very close to y'all as we share some common & very personal experience - starting a new family in a foreign country.
i hope i got to see topaz when she's in texas - dallas is not exactly my part of town, but hopefully we can work something out.
you & fong fong & yau yau have a wonderful weekend!
