i miss the life i had in hong kong!

i have been back for 2weeks and 3days.. only, yet it seems so long. life hasn't been easy ever since i came back. haha. simply cos i'm missing HK alot, alot.

i miss snoozing my Hp alarm and hearing ting snooze hers too.
i miss waking up in a shock, fearing tat we overslept again.
i miss saying 'hi' to our neighbours in the toilet.
i miss rushing to go out/for classes, knocking against ting countless times in our small room.
i miss saying 'hi' to frens i met along the corridor.
i miss commenting on the weather once we stepped out of our hall.
i miss climbing the stairs outside Grace Tien, where the 2nd last set is the steepest.
i miss the beautiful view along the way to the bus-stop.
i miss bumping into frens at the bus-stop or on the shuttle-bus, and then having a small chat on where each other was going or had gone to.
i miss getting ear-blocks whenever i took the shuttle-bus up or down.
i miss the crabstick + tuna bread at the Uni station's bakery.
i miss the 茶叶蛋 there too.
i miss the air-conditioned toilet at the Uni station.
i miss taking the MTR and hearing all the announcements in Cantonese.
i miss going to Shatin.
i miss going to Mongkok, esp the busy streets there at nite.
i miss going to Central.
i miss Thursdays' nites, for they are ladies' nites.
i miss dim sum + shopping after class on Thursdays, going back hall in the late evening, and then prepare to go club, leaving our room in a total mess when we left, cos we were always in a rush.
i miss clubbing with the CUHK ppl.
i miss Club No. 9.
i miss gossiping with ting in semi-conscious state after returning from clubbing.
i miss laughing abt the funny stories on clubbing contributed by Simon and Chris in the next morning.
i miss meeting up with the rest on level 4, the sofa area.
i miss rushing for the last train, esp the walk from TST to East TST.
i miss walking up to our hall at nite. eerie, tiring, romantic, u name it.
i miss taking the lift with everyone, altho we all stayed on different floor.
i miss saying 'seeya on Msn' when we got out of the lift or reached the staircase.
i miss chatting with them till the wee hours of the mornings.
i miss having conducted tours on Saturdays, where everything's planned.
i miss exploring places by myself, doing everything at my own pace.
i miss searching for places with the rest, and always having the same ppl ask for directions in Canto.
i miss hearing 'mm-goi' everywhere i go.
i miss ppl talking to me in Canto.
i miss doing grocery-shopping.
i miss dividing all the prices by 5.
i miss having mango/hot desserts.
i miss having ting to chat with at nite.
i miss snacking tgt at nite and then feeling guilty abt it.
i miss the nites when we struggled to stay awake to finish up on our work.
i miss the freedom i had, going anywhere, anytime.
i miss having room 309 to return to, where i did not have to face anyone.
i miss our dirty, messy but cosy room.
i miss having plans for everyday.
i miss the great frens whom i've made there, from being total strangers to becoming good and close frens.
i miss the life there.

the list could go on.. cos i really miss everything, both the good and the bad. actually, there wasn't even anything really so bad tat i disliked.

move on, yes. but i just hate to face the fact tat it's over, and tat i would nv get the same experiences again.

on a brighter note, i guess i did learn sth during the 6weeks in HK..
1. whatever doesn't kill u, makes u stronger. haha cos it's an experience afterall. life is this short, so explore as much as u can, while u can.
2. the world is so big, i shouldn't be trapped in my own little world. there's just so much more to life..
3. be more magnanimous. haha.
4. independence. i learnt it while washing and ironing my clothes. haha. there was even a nite when i had to sew sth by myself and i felt so helpless! but yah, gotta be more indep.
5. and things like compromising and being more sensitive to others when in a big grp.

i am just so glad that i went for this summer program. it was totally worth the preparations, the money and whatever it took. the 6weeks could be described as the most fulfilling period of my life so far.. i have learnt sth, i have seen so much, i have had so much fun, and i have tried doing so many things, things which i nv had the chance to do before. plus, it was a summer sch, so everyone had the mentality of going all out to have fun. tat really made a difference! i guess the next time i visit HK, it would really bring back lots and lots of very fond memories.. and HK would stay a special place to me! :)
