Childhood Neighborhood Visit

Got up really early and made a rehearsal drive to the bus station where I’ll be taking the bus downtown to the half-marathon starting point tomorrow morning.

Still very early afterwards, I decided to go visit my childhood neighborhood. Started a long walk in the nature trail at around the time I’ll be starting the run tomorrow, trying to mentally prepare myself for the run. The scenery seemed somewhat familiar. Serendipitously, I bumped into my friend’s aunt along the way, what are the odds?! I dropped down her new number (I can still remember my friend’s old home number) and said I’ll call her up for dim sum before I go back to HK. I honestly never really appreciated the nature trail as a kid, but after living in the concrete jungle for so long, I now realized that this pristine natural environment is priceless!

Also took a stroll around my primary school. The soccer goal post is still slanted and planted on grass-less mud. Funny how a simple problem is still left unfixed after so many years. Also saw some residue paint of the large Canada map we painted on the playground.

The childhood neighborhood visit brought back many fond memories.
