wonder where I'll be at three years later.

three years ago, I just started second year of university, and was still figuring out uni life. had a group of closer mates after almost a year of working with them(thanks vivo).

and now I stand here. some of us have gone east, some gone west, and some haven't moved at all, standing firm on where they have always stood. and maybe not really that firm...

three days later. I'll be going back to the place where my dreams began. but this time, I might start another dream, a brand new one perhaps. I know not.

final bits of packing. roar.

woohoo ice-skating!!! think I haven't done that for 10 years la.. I wonder when the next time will be... 10 years later? lol

nice chat with Carmen over dinner. hmm. I am sure God will lead me and open my eyes I'll take my time.

so happy I brought my soft toys with me to London. best decision made haha. really needed the sense of security. and it's always lovely to have something soft and huggable around you ^^

I am young.

still haven't finished packing boxes. well actually I'm done with almost 90% but I'm struggling with the final bits of what to put in my luggage and what to stuff in the boxes. after all, it would take 6-8 weeks for the boxes to arrive HK. what if I need some of the stuffs then??? anyway. will be sending off the boxes on Friday. yep.

oh no. six days to go. (actually waiting for 30/9 so I could post James Morrison's Six Week. shh.)

haven't really done anything else these couple of days. just watching drama and movies. streaming la of course. and netflix teehee. think I should unsubscribe when I get back to HK. hmm.

actually sometimes I wonder why I keep on writing here, as if I have an audience. so I was quite surprised that Sandy mentioned about reading this the other day. okay I admit, I was slightly flattered. but I have to disagree with her saying my posts are inspiring. LOL.

turrah!

one week. and I'll say goodbye.

7.

yes. eight days left. time is ticking on.

so. sang with praise team for the final time today. I really appreciate our bros and sis' commitment to spreading God's word to the Chinese community here in London. it's fascinating that they do it once a month. though we may not see the fruits immediately, we are now sowing the seeds for those behind us to reap the harvests. I strongly believe in that.

which reminds me of my old school hymn.

"they reap not where they laboured,
we reap what they have sown;
our harvest may be garnered
by ages yet unknown.
the days of old have dowered us
with gifts beyond all praise
our Father make us faithful
to serve the coming days."

such wisdom.

little nice chat with two brothers,  Leon and Tony. thanks =)

house warming at 016 + Roger's place. it was a good one.

8.

nice little excursion to Southend-on-Sea + Leigh-on-Sea.

Southend Pier: world's longest pleasure pier!

DDR + air hockey + horse-racing(???) at arcade hahaha.

food food food <3

oh how I miss the sea. star ferry, see you soon!

諗諗下都係用番中文比較好, 免得詞不達意

一年喇. 太多意想不到的事. 環境轉變, 帶動心態和目標也有所轉換.

冇諗過一年之後竟然冇同任何一個同學成為朋友, 最多都係點頭之交, 碰面時會寒暄兩句.

亦冇諗過只係一年, 都會做左半年團契core team, 又參加follow up class 同 praise team. 好似事奉同親近神既時間比在香港時還要多. 而且呢度既弟兄姊妹好似更愛主... 我亦覺得跟他們距離較接近... 還是因為我主動了? (not really. maybe a bit)

冇諗過讀完一年書. 我既人生目標又唔同晒. 唔想再往music performance呢個方向發展. I love being a chorister though.

Arts field. what to do.

actually I wanna escape. don't want to be only in one professional/social circle, the one my whole family is in. I need to break out.

but where?

十日後番到香港, 就要同父母交代我的未來發展'大計'. 點算.

felt like I went out on a date today, and it was a really good one. too bad that my sole companion was myself.

saatchi gallery, tea + red velvet cake at hummingbird bakery, window shopping, salmon & tuna sashimi don for dinner, movie - the moral instruments: city of bones.

quite a day, don't you think? could have been an awesome date haha. well. if only there were someone beside me...

anyhow. I'm getting used to this after a year. and I'll probably stay this way for a while...

I'm a strong girl, you know.

and I totally forgot to look at the moon.... Happy Mid-Autumn =)

Elysium. it may seem a marvellous place from Earth. and yet when we look down from Elysium, we will discover the beauty of our planet. all the blues and greens and whites. have always loved our magnificent planet <3

hindsight...

regrets...

already filled a 30 kg box but my room is as messy as before @@ I am in big trouble. gotta throw out lots of stuff methinks.

was Harmony's final recital today at Royal Holloway. took the train all the way to Egham to attend her recital and turn the pages for her cellist. nice little town. didn't really walk around the RHUL campus, mainly due to the not-so-fine weather. too much dampness.

although I know RHUL is a really good school, I think my decision to study at a school in central London is a good decision. I'm really not a suburban person. sort of need the hustle-bustle around me, even when I don't necessarily leave the house every single day. I'm accustomed to seeing taller buildings outside my window LOL.

yea I'm a city girl.
