i hope my words are strange and wondrous,

like kisses that quiet all things superfluous,

so that we can all stop and

listen

and there are no words to express the way i felt

when i walked through those doors

and breathed that polluted air.

and looked for a taxi

to drive me home.

to see my dog coming back from her walk

and running toward me when i call her name.

to eat hotpot

and to sleep in this familiar place.

to head out on a bus toward MK

to see kristine at MTR exit D

to eat at satay king

and shop

and buy.

the joys.. hahaha

yes. i am blissfully happy.

and pray that my rest is sufficient to get me through the next four months.

they will be great four months.

but being home is heaven.

in some ways im glad i no longer live here, go to highschool.

but seeing my sister in her routine...

doing homework..

having piano lessons..

i kinda miss the routine.

where the pattern is cyclical

and everything stays the same for the most part.

my dog has evolved beyond cuteness.

to a new level of adorable that im still trying to come to terms with.

either that or absence makes the heart grow fonder. =/

she still responds to me when i ask her to give me her paw in chinese.

=)

it makes me joyful every time.

i never realized how good my house smelled..

it smells awesome.

and my next week and a half

is insanely lined up.

packed with things to do.

this is a beautiful christmas.

and there's more to come.

change.

resolution.

determination.

hallelujah.
