At a huge discount mall now. Being me this isn't exactly my idea of a great time. I'm feeling quite annoyed at the wastage of leave, and I think the homesickness is taking its toll. Ok it's not exactly homesickness. Just missing one aspect of home terribly. I'm sure you know what that is if you're reading my blog in the first place.

I'm in Carnegie Hall watching a band concert at the moment. The first band was a jazz band, which was pretty decent. Looking forward to the symphonic segment. The hall's pretty awe-inspiring too.

Back from the concert. It was a really interesting experience, seeing an American band concert. The 3 symphonic bands were all good, the second being my favourite. I also enjoyed Der Traum des Oenghus by the third, and massive, band. It was played really well I believe, kudos especially to the two basses for supporting such a huge band.
I notice the Americans love giving standing ovations too. Good spirit I guess. But I did get annoyed by midmovement applause.
The scene post concert reminded me of that back home. People crowding to the backstage to find friends, phototakings along the aisles and outside the hall and a lorry for the percs were all present. The only diff was really the American flags in the background as compared to the statue of Raffles.
Our dinner was at a pretty nice Japanese ramen place which featured innovative dishes such as Philadelphia cheesesteak springrolls. Cute.
From tomorrow onwards I'll be flying everyday for 5 days. I take comfort in the fact that every flight except one short one will now be taking me closer and closer to home.
