*HAPPY SOUL

“baby you're the best i ever had”

My trip to hong kong is almost over, and I have mixed feelings about going home. Everything is so much cheaper over here! $2 AUD for a full feed of real food i.e. Wonton noodles, drink and dessert as opposed to the overpriced food in Sydney. Grrrrrr! When I got here, I was already counting down the days I'd have until I board another 8 hour flight back to SYD airport. But now that there's only a few days remaining on the calendar before I jet my lazy little butt over the pacific ocean back to Sydney, I'm feeling a little sad...

Today was the first day in two weeks that my sister, aunt and I had the whole house to ourselves because the rest of them went to Mainland China to visit grandma's relatives. Joanne and I went to Festival walk in Kowloon Tong and we basically spent our day shopping and looking at random things that they sell in Hong Kong. Joanne left for dinner with her friend, but I stayed at the cafe to continue reading my new book. This book is giving me a lot to think about, and to be able to relate with 95% of the author's words makes it that much easier to pick up and that much harder to put down.

I don't actually have that much left to spend in Hong Kong, but I still have quite a few things I still want to get for my friends :) I'll probably go write a list before I sleep tonight just so I won't need to run around hong kong like a headless chicken to get gifts a few days before I go home.

I've done a lot of thinking during these past month or so, and I've written up my new year's resolutions into my new diary with my new stationery(what girl don't like using new things hehehe). I must say that the three main things on my list are what I've decided to be the three pillars that I must build to allow me to pat myself on the back on the last day of this year and say "Reann! You've been extremely good this year, you definitely deserve a good holiday somewhere."

That's it, I think I've caught the travel bug... I don't even mind traveling abroad on my own :) I just want to see the world and experience different cultures. I think I have a thing for historical museums... Something about the lifestyles of premodern organizations really intrigues me. From the abundance of colonist influence in the architecture to the way people used to interact with each other way before everything became digitized.

Another thing I've realized in this trip is that there will always be ups and downs in life and i think I've had my fair share of being a noob :) Which sort of makes up one of the reasons why I'm excited to return to Sydney, and that reason is to embrace the shit that I will be given this year like a lady and make that shitness into a lesson well learnt. Fuck yeah!

I have a lot i want to post here, but I've recently turned to writing into a notebook because I feel that there are some things that should not/ do not need to be documented in cyberspace :) NOTE TO FUTURE ME: one day in the faaaaaaaar, faaaaar future you'll re-read this post and you'll find the aforementioned notebook and hopefully you'll have a laugh with whoever you end up with about how silly you used to be.

I am feeling so optimistic right now about the prospects of 2012, I'm excited to turn all my new year's resolutions into reality. Mostly because I want to put all the new things I've bought into good use! LoL ...

Wow this has been one muhfucking long post. Hopefully it compensates for the lack of posts I've made in the past month, I know I said I would probably post more often in HK but I'm sorry that I had too much eating to do<3 Arghhhhhh okay just wait for the photos of the food to come in later weeks (or months). Okay bye! Oh and I've decided on what I'd get if i ever do end up getting a tattoo :)
