// Sunday, December 4
Hong Kong was lovely. :) for the first time in my life have i won SO much money from mahjong. seriously. i won't say how much. but yes, its 3 digits. sing dollars. freak out. my luck was never better. haha.. but i didn't win all the time. but that was my net profit. :) so of course i splurged the money on some retail therapy. my aunts brought me to MongKok. haven't been there for a long time. and that place is just like a larger and much better and funkier and way cooler version of far east. so can you imagine..? my eyes were so busy darting from all directions! Hong Kong locals can goddamn dress. individualistic, fashionable, and not ah-lian-ish. cool beyond cool.. love all their hairstyles, clothes, bags, image.. its so full of diversity! very much different from good old singapore. oh well..
you know, some songs just have an effect on you? i hate it when that certain effect doesn't leave a good mark. instead a queer nostalgic mood.. leaves you hanging there, tightened heart.. bah. just like that long long ago song "Crazy for this girl" by Evan and Jaron. i still remember this person dedicated it to me when i was in primary? or was it lower secondary.. haha! i can't remember. (sab! do you remember?) but yeah.. and everytime i hear that song, my heart will just tighten and my thoughts will rewind back to those younger days. silly ain't it.. i thought it was really sweet of him and all. and he was just a stranger to me! ok. i shall not go to the details.. but yeah. and this kinda thing still happens now.. some songs just leave a mark.. The New Pornographers are good by the way! should check them out. :)
so anyway! its gonna be a new year soon. and boy do i see loads ahead of me. but i'll brave the stormy weathers, and become stronger after each one passes by. i am a strong girl. even if im still shaky now, i know i will be. i know it. i must be..
ciao.
