5 days passes really fast. I looked forward to this for so long, well, ok so 6 months isn't that long but the last 2 weeks before leaving just seemed like forever. The plane ride seemed to take forever too.... even the 1 hour wait for you to appear in front of me seemed more like 72 hours. I hate waiting, I hate watching the minutes go by on my watch, whiling my time away by pondering over the same things again and again. But you know, there are some things I'd wait forever for.
Didn't do much in HongKong, but the memories will remain forever... strolled from Yau Ma Tei to Tsim Sha Tsui 2 and back twice, walked through Ladies Street and Temple Street and many other streets that seemed to be filled with the same stalls and the same lights. Saw the Giant Buddha, went up The Peak, did all the touristy-things... ate all that wanton mian, stuffed ourselves with dim sum... lao po bing, char siu sou... green tea... I had so much good food in a matter of 5 days, i think it has completely made up for all the plain-rice-and-oyster-sauce nights i had in Penn.
The food, the mood, the sights, the lights... and you. What would everything be like if you weren't around? I don't want to know.
Time passes. Every so often, I ask myself...everything is alright, right? Or is it? I guess there's a part of me that wants everything to be just the way they were, you should know, that stubborn me... the one who keeps clinging on to the past and refusing to let go. Then there's the practical me who realizes what everything means and recognizes the changes that are happening... the one who knows that things are no longer the same and therefore I should adapt too.
Sigh. Does it matter anymore? I think I ask too many questions, think about too many things. Life would be so much simpler if I took things more lightly, be less sensitive, less emotional. I let my heart rule me... and one day that's gonna be the decaying root that leads to my downfall.
