I thought i was over with the jet lag!
.. i was totally fine at work today... (yesterday was a bit horrible.. my manager suggested me to go home for a sleep at around 3pm haha..).
maybe I am a bit homesick this time.. what's the difference between this visit and the previous visits?... I don't think i have been through this before... I am still constantly worrying about what's happening back home.. in shenzhen... and I got a bit confused..with where is my home..
I honestly didn't do much during the 12 day in shenzhen..... i spent most of the time with Mom and Grandma.. went shopping with Mom.. me with not much intention to shop...I was hoping she could get more stuff for herself than buy for me..
I liked going Grandma's place and kept her company.. watching her eating.. sleeping...and telling her stuff.. when she's lying in bed.. awake... oh.. and I went watching the movie Xin Shao Lin Si (by Andy Lau and Nicolas Tse) with Brother and sis-in-law.. it was good.
...
I did get to see quite a few high school friends... and hung out with a few a few times.. dinner... random walks.. so-called "high tea".. .. Karaoke... ppl seemed to have changed and have not changed... and still familiar after the while..
I felt so special every time i went home visit..ppl just made all the effort to come see me and call for gatherings.. reunions... I sometime thought ... "Was I that good? or .. Am I that good a friend/person for you guys to do all that for me?.."
there's one high school friend I hadn't seen for 11 years.. we saw each other again in the K place.. I was totally surprised to see her there too.. (I didn't organize that so I didn't know who's gonna show up there.. ) In fact, she's the initiator of the activity.. After 11 years out of contact with each other.. how should we begin the conversation... it seemed easy and not so easy.. She did look very glad to see me there.. I could tell by her facial expressions.. after some random talks.. she said that she found me very different.. from before.. .I can't remember the words she used to describe me.. she said tho it's by the way I spoke.. she seemed a bit surprised (in a good way). then.. I asked what she usually do at leisure time and she asked me the same.. I told her .. i went to church and I am a Christian... she seemed even more surprised(in a good way) and... told me she has a friend who's a Christian too and that friend also tries to persuade her to believe.. and she asked me how come I didn't do that..(to her..) ... from there the conversation started to get more interesting..
It's almost 2 am..
maybe ... to be continued..

ReplyDeleteits so good that u can still meet with ur high school frds and chat! i doubt that i'll meet many of my high school frds anymore (mostly because they're all over the world)
and u get to spend some quality time with ur grandma! thats fulfills ur goal right? i wish i get to spend more times with my grandparents while i was back :(
you know.. sometimes there's no reason why ppl are so good to us, we don't deserve their kindness and caring and hospitality!!
ReplyDeletei feel the same thing often.
it's Grace.
