Taking a Leap

I am.. . I accepted an opportunity so rare. A friend of mine is going for a business trip to Hong Kong and offered me to bunk in with her if I'd like to. I grabbed the opportunity and booked my flight almost immediately, and without hesitation even though the tickets were blardy expensive. *oops*

I was just excited to know I'd get the chance to be alone and shut off; in another city. Though she would only arrive on the evening of 2 Jan, I went ahead happily and booked the earliest flight in leaving Singapore 6.40am. I wanted to maximise my time there. It didnt even bother me she has to report to work both from 9am - 6pm through from 3-4 Jan; I was just glad I have the opportunity to be away, at peace.

My excitement heightened when she reminded me it's really cold in Hong Kong right now. I have never been anywhere cold and you could imagine my curiousity. I could picture myself, snuggled under a few layers of compact jackets and sweaters... walking around with my camie, my journal and my mp3.. perhaps with my frozen hands and feet... sipping coffee or tea with scones and muffins, stealing wi-fi... buying notebooks and pens..... taking deep breaths... not having to make any conversations... no rush, no anticipations, no expectations, no disappointments.

2 more days....

And from the bottom of my heart; I'd just want to say....
nobody is irritating me or pushing me away right now. For some curious ones - NO there are no problems between the hubby and me and this is definitely not the reason of my many dodgings. I am just at a point I feel I need to untangle myself and find my strength so that I could carry on steering forward anew and afresh. I am running from city to city... to breathe, to recharge and to make peace with myself.
