my square

6 days to go til I leave the place I called home in the past 9 months – CasaYu Szx. So what’s my life like here in this ‘sinful’ southern city of China. I would say it is very ‘squared’ - I walk ‘my square’ everyday – from CasaYu to WFC (work) to Diwang (gym & spa) to MixC (mall) – what a boring chore, no? So here you have it, my square on Google Earth!

It cannot wait, I'm sure

Came across Jason Mraz’s MV on tv, (realized how long I have been out of touch with north American pop music), moved by the simple yet poignant melody:


So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue


This is the ‘sign', the 'sign' I have been wanting to see for a long time. Just as I am close to coming to terms, the ‘sign’ just reassured me about my decision. It is encouraging and I am ready.
