blog surfing caz i was so sick of econs. and i came across this in someone's blog:

"哇!好挂住香港啊!挂住那里的人事物... 那里的人,那里的文化,那里的街道,那里的食物,那里的每一件事,每一样东西,对我来说都有着浓厚的亲切感。你们可能会说,为什么在新加坡长大的我,会有这种感觉?因为我发现原来在这 16 年来我没有彻彻底底地被同化,我发现在我内心里,我的潜意识里,那条根,那种对香港的情怀已经扎扎实实地扎根在我心里的深处。我并非对新加坡没有感情,毕竟这里是我长大的地方,只不过“归属感”不在这里。我有尝试让自己对新加坡有多一点的归属感,可是那往往只是假象。我记得有位弟兄曾经问我是否有一天我会回去香港,当时我的答案是很肯定的“不会”..."

i know now isn't the time to be so emotional. now isn't the time to think about all these. but i had to read his blog. and it struck me. 16 years i've been here. just like him. he's an ex-church friend of mine. a few weeks a year is enough. its difficult to understand how i can feel so attached to a place where i only go back to once or twice a year. well, the decision has to be made one day. after my As. here or there. but i can't put this place down. definitely not.

for now, its back to the notes.
