I'm such a sucker - don't sleep but write instead.
Was in HK over the weekend. I was lost in the city, lost in Cantonese, lost in shopping, lost in partying, lost in friends' words, lost in love.
The irony was I learnt more about myself than ever. Super shack from all these physically and emotionally - but yes, for the better!
I learnt that I can make a difference to my friends by being there for them - be the sunshine in their lives!
I learnt that friends care for me and wanted the best for me - no less. Dishing out advice and I realised I lost the defensive side of me.
I learnt that life is better when you don't try too hard. When you do, that's when things go against you.
But yes, in HK, shopped at H&M, ZARA, MNG, Gio Ladies - spent loads. partied at Volare, Drop - drank and danced loads. Sins in life..
Right now, in Phuket with minimum sleep - sorting out emails. That's life too - the unavoidable and material of it.
Praying hard that I get to dive when I extend my stay till Sat / Sun.
Guess what I'm glad I have my book with me - cos I miss Sunday church!
