So many things have happened over the past week… Overwhelming really. So who knows how long this post will go..
1. I'm very glad I didn't get stuck in the Beijing flood. After seeing the news of the flood being up to car hoods and the Forbidden city flooded with water gushing everywhere, still can't believe I was there only a week ago.
2. Great days have gone by quickly meeting up with YS was part of two great days. (: Can't believe it's been one year since we've met, in the strangest way possible. Had fun eating breakfast at 2 pm and meeting some very interesting people while roaming through the streets of Hong Kong. I also got the chance to see Mme Tussauds work.
3. Swimming outdoors is becoming a hazard. As much as it is in a pool and not open water, the sun's rays never cease shining upon me. I now have an awkward tan. Perhaps a sign that I should hit the beach with a wetsuit and a book.
4. Taxi drivers - they can strike up very interesting conversations. On my way home one evening, we talked about the dangers of the motorcyclists and how they don't really think nowadays. The irony I guess came with the fact at the end of the ride, he told me he used to ride one till his 50s.
5. July is finally here and somewhere I long to be is Quadra. The memories, bonds and hardships came and went. Can't believe its been so long since I've pressed my gun shirt, shined my boots and marched around. Anyway, congratulations to my friend CB for becoming coxswain of the Q this year. It's one of the most prestigious positions that any cadet dreams of doing every summer. All the best to everyone else from TWGT to staff. Have a great summer @ the Q!
6. Reading is what I've replaced school with. It's a great trade off, no stress, no hassle. The bonus is that I get to learn something new, maybe odd and foreign to me but insightful most of the time.
I digress and move on being a bookworm or simply living life.
