Why?

Why the obstacles?
restrictions?
complications?

Why can't it be simple again?
black and white?
straightforward?

Why does it always take so long?

Was it all an act based on guilt?

I wish i knew.

The struggle for understanding.

Arrival

7 days have passed...

I guess I'm back.

No surprise there. I said I would be.

China was interesting to say the least. Nope, no tremors felt. (dang). It was cool to re-visit the place I spent 2 and a half years at. Yep, P4-5 (Came back to S'pore for P6).

However, I would say that the trip was more of a meaningful one and not a enjoyable trip? The family spent most of our time just meeting up with old friends and having meals. We even had someone to plan out all our meals! Like...lunch with these folk and dinner with some government official. Every day was booked...

Kinda made me feel like some tourist attraction which everyone wanted to meet and treat (it even rhymes). Where's the freedom of a holiday in that?

You know me. With my limited Chinese. I just sat, ate, smiled and read my book. Anti-social yeah, but what else could I do?

Euro Cup nights and mornings with dad were good though. Plus all the sword-fighting dramas.

That kinda sums up my trip.

Departure

I'm leaving yeah. Maybe not on a jet plane, but definitely a plane though.

Be back in 7 days, 13th June.

I'm sure you'll miss me :)

7 days without twistedshaft. Wow...quiet it will be.

Well, I'll miss you yeah?
You know who you are. Take care of yourself.

You too Dan. You'll definitely be missed.
