This year, the National Day also coincided with the Mid Autumn Festival, we again had a week long holiday. Long story short, Jim were going to meet me in Seoul. But we decided that he should spend more time in NY before returning. I was going to sit at home and catch up on work. But after some persuasions from my colleagues Serina and Michael, as well as having secured a dermatologist appointment, I arrived in HK on Wednesday.
After 5 days in HK, I believe I had a good rest. It turned out the trip was well timed. On Wed morning, my parents rang me at 5.50am, yelling at me about my update on facebook. Well, I decided to let them know that I don't think they really love me, and hung up on them... twice! I am glad I wasn't sitting at home sulking. If I were going to feel sad, I should do it in HK!
It was great to have my colleagues distracting me for a couple of days. I also made a point to catch up with a few of my favorite friends in HK. I had a few relaxing days. I went for a run on Bowen Road; I sat by the pool; I ran some errands; I had good meals with friends. Hey! I deserved them!
Now, I am sitting at my favorite Cathay Pacific lounge, drink my free champagne, and trying to pull myself together to get back to reality.
Reality is harsh. I was tempted many times this week by the idea of jumping on the next flight to a mysterious place and start all over again. Don't you think it can be nice to have a new name, new life, new beginning?
