so after 5 hrs of delay and $75hkd of food coupon, me, alvi and beni were finally able to board and head back to canadaland. and now we’re all super jetlaged, woke up at around 6am. and that’s a bit of an update to my interesting life.
mm…recap of hong kong.
this was an interesting 7 wks in hk, although a bit too short if you ask me. when i booked my flight i didn’t realize that stupid American universities get out so late and therefore didn’t end up getting to meet up with some people much, or at all! it was nice nonetheless. being in university and living with some great friends is definetly a blessing, but i suppose for me at least it’s nice to have some alone time. and i really enjoyed that alone time i got in hong kong. wandering around the streets of hong kong, being able to flood myself with memories and get lost in my thoughts. it was all a bit nice until i got bored of myself and started feeling a bit desperate for human interaction which did come. in the midst of reunions and dinners and catching up with friends, it was also nice to catch the few familiar faces from Queens and be the tour guide (that i think i should do as a summer job, seriously -_-).
either way, i’m back in canada now and all that nostalgic talk is making me a bit homesick. but still i am excited for nice weather?? and ofcourse seeing all you Queens people. yes i will be cliche and say that time sure flies, and i can’t believe i’m going into 3rd year. i think real life is upon too soon. being back home was a nice reminder of what it was like back in the day, when parents did everything for you and you were free to dream, to dream to be anything you wanted, before you had to pick a major. i think that was one of the reasons why i enjoyed high school so much. i got to do most of the subjects that i like! i guess when i was kid i wanted to do whatever i thought was fun, i found brooms fun, so i wanted to be a street sweeper, or i loved the flashing lights and wailing sirens of firetrucks and then i wanted to be a firewoman (thanks caren for that firetruck from that one time lol). but by now i guess i’m well on my road to becoming a psychology major. one thing’s for sure though, to not stop dreaming, even now. i guess it’s a different type of dreaming, more of a what i’m actually going to do with my life more than what could be. either way, i like dreaming =P makes the real world a bit more interesting sometimes.
i miss you guys already =(
