25.Oct.2009 The Kool Gang

So. I was browsing through some photographs for my magazine project which is due next Friday, and I found this picture. I love the colours in it, and I think it’s really funny that CJ is smiling while the rest of us are acting kool.

This one was taken on our last day in Wuhan, and damn, looking at this really makes me miss the place. I’ve got this huge miss-age for it now, and most especially the rou si ji dan chao mian (Shredded meat egg fried noodles) which I discovered much too late. All that’s left now are memories and the unconscious slurping of drool when I think about the food.

Ever since Wuhan, I’ve discovered a greater love for food – my palate is no longer limited to my favourite staples like rice and soup. I’m learning to try out different kinds of foods and step out of my comfort zone. I guess that’s a good thing!

I find myself missing a lot of other things too. Time’s passed by so fast and we’re no longer fifteen, we’re eighteen and considered adults. I miss my childhood, back when I had all the time in the world to read all the books I wanted and not have to worry about anything else. I miss friends that I’ve made and who’ve gone away to foreign lands.

But all these missing isn’t going to do me any good, so I’m going to look forward to the future to make the best it can be, but I’m never going to forget what the past’s brought me.
