Alas..... Part II

…….after a long intermission, from the other part of the world.
I have been back home for 2 months already. Home… what’s meant by home? There are different kinds of homes: “Legal” home to which grants your passport and benefits; “Root” home where you find your hood, comfort food and old friends; “family” home where you build your family and send your kids to school.

I remember I didn’t like Hong Kong during my teenage, probably due to its crowdedness and lack of space. Having been away for so long, I started to appreciate the most trivial side of this place – the curry fish ball, the Hong Kong milk tea, 肠粉,茶餐厅, 电车, 海旁, 天星小轮…..etc. I don’t know how long does it take for me to collect such amounts of memories in Canada. It might not be the same.

I almost forgot I started this writing with my new year resolution Part II: Originally, I planed to say “keep writing in 2007”. What about “Persistent on trying new things”
