i wanna go home

I wanna go home. I wanna go home. I wanna go home. And I mean my REAL home. Not this crappy place.

Why is this place crappy?

People here walk fast, extremely fast. Sometimes they will hit into you when they try to squeeze their way through. Whether or not it is accidental or intentional, none of them will stop and apologize. That's rude.

Unless you can afford to dine at really 'atas' restaurants all the time, dining can be hell-like at most Hong Kong style fast food chain and typical neighbourhood 'char chan teng'. Their service staff are impatient and always rush you through orders, and they make sure that the word I-M-P-T-I-E-N-T is written all over their face. Not friendly at all.

People drive recklessly here. They speed and refuse to slow down while negotiating corners. Perhaps they think that they are racing at a track! It is so goddamn dangerous especially roads are so narrow in Hong Kong.

And the weather. Yes. The WEATHER. It is totally absolutely definitely unbearable. Humidity kills! BIG TIME! I'm melting like a candle on sunny days. Otherwise, it can be raining like cats and dogs! Geez... everyday before stepping out of the house, I gotta contemplate on whether to bring or not to bring..... umbrealla!

Of course, there are still the bright side of Hong Kong. Afterall, it's a food haven, shopping paradise and home to all cantonese tv series we all grew up watching. Hey! you could easily bump into a celebrity walking on the street, or even dining at a restaurant.

Sadly, none of these appeal to me. 'Cause nothing beats home-cooked meals. Excessive shopping burns hole in my wallet. Celebrities? who cares about them.

That is why, I've been marking down on my calendar at work, crossing dates and hoping time can fly. I have no sense of belonging here. Neither have I got a life.

I wonder. Is it the changing weather? my age that is catching up? or purely the result of PMS?

I'm dead serious about wanting to go home though. sianz.
