Just wanted to say a huge “Thank you” to family, friends and blog friends/readers who had either called or dropped me a note(s) when I was feeling so down last month. It’s a huge comfort to know that there are people who care, even if they are far away.

I haven’t really found a core group of good friends in HK – it takes time, years really – so I had felt extremely lonely at that time. Well, sometimes that awful feeling of loneliness still strikes, but I just do my best to think positive every time it does. Life in big cities is like that and I realise there are many people out there who are like me. But we get on with our lives in our own ways and have our own coping mechanisms. Some use work to fill their time, others take part in a myriad of activities like exercise, pubbing and clubbing, some just veg out at home with home video entertainment etc. My aim now is to get out there and do more stuff that I enjoy.

Some time ago I had thought of monetising my blog but decided not to as my readership wasn’t that high anyway. And on second thought, I prefer to have a small, intimate group of readers who really know me and have become friends. I prefer having this blog as my own little creative space where I write whatever I feel like writing, even if my only audience is myself.

Anyway, thanks again to all of you who have been rays of sunshine brightening up my life and keeping me warm! I really appreciate it!
