tears behind the smile
i remember roomie saying this to me when we were on our way back from flora ho a few months ago.. "reality will strike u when u realised the desk and bed behind you are empty."
i remember ashley's sudden outburst," i'm going back to LA in 10 days!"
i remember vina asking me when is my flight.
i remember the night after our singaporean's farewell dinner, lynn called me to tell me how sad and emotional she was and how she's going to miss the hk life.
i didn't understand all these... until today.
reality finally struck me when i hugged rita goodbye. she's the last exchange i'm sending off.
I seriously hate this feeling when u have to send your friends off, knowing that u might never see them again in ur life.
i'm the next to leave now.
i miss the sound of laughters in room 1417.
i miss all the gossips we've shared and all the late night talks.
i miss our mass-drama period.
i miss watching TVB with the locals in the pantry.
i miss asking/answering the question "so what are we eating for breakfast/lunch/dinner"
i miss shouting out conversations during bath time.
i miss the sound of slippers along the corridors.
i miss the sound of the soccer ball, tennis and hockey from the guy's wing.
i miss kathy, purple and jen's "ngoh fan lai le!" every sunday night.
i miss waking up everyday saying good morning to amy.
i miss saying "no one's in ashley." "come in rita."
i miss arguing with 99 EVERY SINGLE NIGHT over who's english is better and many many more 'si dan' issues.
i miss cooking in the pantry.
i miss the daily visits of bakery.
i miss jogging with lynn.
i miss jogging with lynn to the bakery.
i miss going classes with peichun and attending the 'si dan' lectures.
i miss the dinners and tours with the singaporeans.
i miss the days i spent in Starr hall and LHT.
i miss the days we prepare for jay chou's concert.
i miss k-town, mongkok, tst, causeway bay, central, nathan road, fa yun gai, lan kwai fong, ladies' street, argyle centre, shenzhen and zhuhai.
i miss the bakery(every single one including maxims), student union, pretz, starbucks, $10 porridge, wanton noodles, cha chan ting, desserts, wellcome, park n shop, queen's mary, bay view, 7-11, pancake and all the roadside food.
i miss everything that i took for granted in these 4 months.
i miss all the memories we've shared in hku, subsidizers and with the exchanges.
i'm going to carry all these memories back with me now.. and keep it safely.
it' time to wake up.
i'm so going miss my hk life.
why wake me up?
