What about me?
-by Sarah Leung

After a short break I*ll have to head back to campus again. Simply seeing my friends yet truck-load of work, there*s nothing bad about it but greedy me just want to prolong this week of comfort. Gone are the irritating phone rings, freezing project room and tensed nerves. It*s really peaceful back home. This whole week, all I need to think about was to get enough rest and do whatever I wanted that I don*t have time back then. And just when I know it, this is going to be my last block leave, so sad!
Just hours before I hit the bed, I*m squashing my brain juice here, trying to summarize my short leave into this little space here. In short, it has been wonderful as nothing *major* happened at home so I*m blessed with some days of peace. But if you ask me to extend my stay at home, I guess I can die! Too long of quiet can get boring.
Thinking back, most of the time I did go out only when my Mum wants to go shopping, pack up grocery, high-tea, late-tea, whatever! I*m really glad that she*s happy. I hope to do whatever I can to make her happy as I’m getting to understand the pain she*s going through. I used to say she*s making a scene of everything and I*m sorry for feeling that way now.
These few days are way too hot to stone, focusing on TV screen alone can make me sweat like a monkey without the air-con. I*m saddened by the new of the collapse of the Nicholl Highway. Yup, I was watching channel newsasia when it happened. Well, of course it*s nothing compared to the night in Pearly Hong Kong but I like that highway, overlooking the CBD area - HSBC building (is it still there?), especially at night the view is magnificent. We used to drive pass there when my Dad take us to marina for supper –> mouth-watering curry fish-head and seafood. Both I don*t eat. Ha!! But they loved it. Anyway, my Dad*s coming back next week and my Mum is more than happy about it. For that, I*m glad.
