(Bon) Voyage Performance/Party


On Saturday August 13th at 7pm I had the wonderful opportunity to present a dance performance to celebrate my upcoming departure to Singapore, as well as my BIRTHDAY!! What a success it was last night! The RIVAA gallery was completely packed with family and friends, and it was a very special evening with live music, dance, film, and theater performances by myself as well as my mother, aunt and close family friend. I will soon post a link to some awesome photos of the event! So, with that fabulous goodbye party behind me, it is now down to my last days in NYC! Meaning, time to finally....pack. Moving requires you to deal with all that material "stuff" that you work so hard to get and are so happy to accumulate, but that actually becomes more of a burden when you want to relocate across the globe. Packing is more than just putting things in suitcases - it requires you to really look at what you have and think about what you really need. Sooo.....that's what I'm pondering right now: what can stay safely in NYC and what can I fit into suitcases on the plane. Not an easy puzzle! I can find a reason why every possible item, even one that has not been used for years, should come along on my trip. I mean, what if, for example, I want to use my Neti pot for the rare occasion that I get a cold? It should come along too, right?! Everything seems so necessary when I know I won't see it for a long time. Ok, enough writing about it- it's time to finally get to work!!!
