Returning back to work in Hong Kong after a good nine days in Singapore over the Chinese New Year period is certainly a bit of a struggle. I flew out of Hong Kong on the night of 12 Feb and got home in the wee hours of the morning of 13 Feb.
It was great to be back home with my family for the reunion dinner, what with my sister also flying back home from Sydney where she now resides. With my cousin, grandmother and her helper, plus a long-time family friend of my dad’s, the eight of us sat down to a sumptuous dinner lovingly prepared by my mum. There’s nothing like homecooked food and nothing in the world beats anything made by one’s own mother or father.
The next couple of days at home were filled with just lazing around at home, meeting up with friends, and spending time with family. Last Thursday, I suggested going to the day zoo. I haven’t been there since I was a child and I thought it’d be quite nice to visit again. So like two young kids again, my sis and I headed to the zoo with our parents except this time it was me driving and paying. It was a nice morning out and I was very pleased with the trip. 🙂
Upon returning to Hong Kong suddenly, a wave of homesickness hit me. Sometimes it’s not good to spend such a long stretch back home. You just get used to home again.
Gotta get back into the zone!
