Home

Having never traveled abroad for such a long period of time, I've never truly comprehended the idea of a "home".

Now that I'm 2 weeks away from home, it struck me hard.

That home is wherever you make home to be.


I never really appreciated BnG.
The first day I step foot into this place, it welcomed me with a distinct smell.
It was mouldy, yet all embracing.

Now that I'm leaving this tiny hall, the smell is back

I can't put a finger as to what this smell may be, but it's the smell of BnG, not the smell of home.


Home smells like..
Sharon's cooking
Rain
Homemade pizza and omelettes
Incense from the joss sticks early in the morning


I wonder where did my good 9 months go to?
I have some great memories in Australia but they're all based in Sydney/Melbourne
and most have to do with gambling.

I'm not an addict.
I just can't find anything better to do with my time and my money


It's pathetic isn't it?

Chmel and Friends - Sharon

母亲的爱，像一座高山， 蕴藏着深深的情感关怀， 就像春天里盛开的花朵， 从天地之间绽放而来。 女儿勇敢地闯荡世界， 激情像燃烧的火焰一样， 不愿受束缚，自由自在， 在风中自由地飞翔。 我们的道路不一样， 她在人生的舞台上奋斗， 母亲心里忧虑满满， 但却爱她永远不变。 当阴云遮挡视线， 母亲温柔地拍拍我的头， 只希望我能回家， 心情一直挂念。 看着我成长，像花儿开放， 偷偷地流下眼泪， 她的眼中隐藏着秘密， 风雨无法阻挡， 她的爱永远无边。 虽然道路曲折， 但爱会一直陪伴着你， 母亲守候在你身边， 爱你永不停息。

I'm glad you're home

The time was 3:13- it has been 2 hours since we started. She mentioned something about being on the wrong path and how there's a need to u-turn before falling off a cliff. My mind wasn't processing any of that. She bent down and showed me something on her phone: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you." My mind wanders off.. Is it really true? What do I have to base on? We've been seeing each other for several months now. One thing I recall is her saying that "You've been deceived". Is that what I needed to hear? It's been a while since I've had thoughts go through my mind.. This medicine I'm taking is numbing my senses and thoughts.. The time now is 7:40. I remember her feeling thirsty and getting a drink. After a while, she told me to speak to Him. I got winded on orange . "Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one" We were created from dust and spirit in...
