It’s the end of August. This summer has meant a lot to me, with different things to treasure at different times. First it was the end of exams; then we got our results to find out we’ve finally graduated; then I began job hunting and finally succeeded. And between each milestone I was lucky to be able to enjoy this very last summer vacation with my loved ones. Yes, this summer has been a happy one, and so it’s natural that I feel some sadness when this summer is nearly over. In particular, I’m leaving Lee Shau Kee, a place I’ve called home for the past five years.
Indeed, a lot has happened throughout my five-year hall life. I’m never a sentimental person, but right now I’d really like to list my most treasured memories in this hall (in random order):
- P&P Subcom
- Play hard and work hard with dental friends
- Living in single room
- Sharing a double room with James
- Love stories?
- Quiet moments alone (with wine)
- Dinners alone (Fusion / Pizza Hut + Mcwings takeaway)
- Things I don’t remember right now but nevertheless still treasure
You may think that there aren’t too much memories. Sorry, I’m not the kind of person who would write a piece of shit facebook note and tag every one and say how much I treasure them. No, every bone in my body says that’s not the way I treasure things. The (fox in the) Little Prince says “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye”. I concur. How I describe memories in text is not important; it’s how I remember them that’s important.
But of course, the goal of this site is to describe my thoughts in plain text. That’s why I’ll briefly tell what I’ve done in the last two days prior to my leaving:
Packing, packing, packing
I spent quite a lot of time packing. I’ve finished just now: 8 boxes and 4 red-white-blue bags; these are five-year-worth of memories. And I also gave out quite a lot of stuff, and made a little contribution in promoting oral health.
Dinner at Fusion
One doesn’t usually graduate alone; Cathy is moving out too. That’s why we celebrated our last days at Memo’s. Originally we wanted to go to Safety Stop once more. Unfortunately for some reason it didn’t open on Sunday; the same was true for 糖痴豆. We ended up going to 甜品堂, which was still good, albeit meaning less to us. We also had a last late night walk in the campus, which we’ve always enjoyed.
Dinner at Fusion
Of course, a large part of my hall life is related to Fusion. That’s why it’s natural that I’d like to spend my last dinner at Fusion. It didn’t disappoint me — my favourite dish, seafood paella, was there. For one moment I thought I should say a proper goodbye to them; but I just couldn’t. That’s not me. I should always remember my gratitude to them, because their food has really cheered me up a lot during the darkest days in my life. I hope when I come back some day, it’ll still be there.
