Upsetting to say the least.
I can't seem to get my mind off things... that may not be necessarily true.
This surge of melancholy is unbearable.

Ok I've lost it.

I wouldn't say that I was ever really close to you.
But we have known each other for close to 8 years.

I remembered having phone conversations with you almost 7 years ago,
You telling me about your problems and me telling you about mine.
I even have your home phone number stored.

We hung out occasionally, most recently before I started flying around this year.
You and Darren were looking for a place to go, and you guys called to ask me what plans I had that night.
I brought you guys to Home Club, and of course you two were already drunk by then.
I remembered teasing you, "Shane? Since when are you Shane?"
And obviously you said the same to me.
You loved Home Club!
The following Friday you called me, asking me what am I doing at home
You said you were at Home Club.
I was too comfortably under my sheets,
Not knowing that would be the last time I would ever get to see you.

Rest in Peace Chen Zi Xuan.
You'll never be forgotten.
With your spiky hair and spectacles when you were 15, till "Shane" recently.

Today I:

Walked to two castings. About 3.5KM in total.
Made a new friend at casting. Canadian dude. Decided that we will go to Disneyland together. He wants to touch Donald. I want to take tourist photos.
Went to dinner with Amber, Sannie and their friend Kim.
Made plans to go out to recce lesbian clubs with Kim and friends tomorrow.
Went to Causeway Bay's ladies' market.
Had my first stick of curry fish balls, didn't like the texture.
Watching TVB now.

Since I've been here, I've been roaming the streets on my own. Surprisingly... When I was back in Singapore and had friends always there, I've always felt time spent was unfulfilling, and am always going thought the motions with lethargy. Now, even though I'm always alone, I feel more inspired. More accomplished.

Every time I get lost and find my way, I feel even better. I don't see the need to go out partying. I'm always having meals on my own, shopping alone, scampering for shelter when it's raining, asking for directions alone, going to castings alone.

And I feel fine. I've been having -not just good- great days on my own.

I wake up at noon, I roam around the bustling streets of Hongkong till the evening, I come home and cook dinner, FaceTime with shannie, watch TV from 8.30 till 10.30, FaceTime some more, read, and go to bed by 1.

And of course I do yearn for work. But it's only been a week.

Right, and now I shall head to the Agnes B cafe on Patterson (right behind my house!), do some reading, head to the agency to collect my allowance, and then to the laundry shop to collect my dry cleaning. And then I will go to the supermarket to buy groceries, come home to cook dinner, and continue with my daily routine.

Love from Hong Kong

ps If anyone is coming to Hk, give me a call!
