It’s Chinese National Holiday today.  Went back to Tsing Yi to play bball with my highschool friends.  This is one of the rare occasions that I went back during the day rather than night to play badminton.  With much time to spare after the game, I forgot about my fatigued body and took a long leisurely stroll around the neighborhood where I grew up.  Not a lot had changed, many of the neighborhood shops (barber shop, clinic, stationery shop, bakery, general store,…) were still there.  I navigated the neighborhood with ease as though I’ve never left that place 10+ years ago.  I doubt that this sense of belonging to a community and strong attachment to a place can be bought in any of the luxurious private housings that are selling like hot cakes.

Played soccer, badminton, and basketball this week.  My muscles are calling quit.  Desperately need some rest.
