Back to Perth

Sigh...I'm back to Perth again..I can't sleep in the plane as usual so I started to write something on the little diary I had in my pocket...and was thinking to start writing diary again this year...let's see how long could I persist..haha..

I have been sleeping all day after I reached home coz I am completely exhausted..but another reason was because I really can't stand the quietness at home and the loneliness of being alone..I miss being at home with my parents so much..playing with Bobo, talking nonsense with Uncle Joe, watching soccer with mum and dad...I spent so little time in Hong Kong this year because of work...I was still having fun at home same time last year...

Sometimes I wonder if there is anything I could do to make myself happier when I am away from home. After 5 years I still haven't completely adapted to the lifestyle here. I am a completely different person here, not the usual happy and talkative Lucia..I barely speak, try to avoid social interaction as much as I can, feeling miserable all the time...I know people here don't really like me coz I'm always so distant. Maybe I should change the way I think and behave...

Maybe afterall I have trouble with being alone. I spend most of my time alone here only because I find it hard to mingle with the people here, I feel different, I can't find the sense of belonging here. Or it is just because I have the belief that it wasn't entirely my choice to come here, so I insisted to hate this place, hate everything about this place and refused to get along with the people I met here.

The music and the TV dramas I was playing on my laptop have stopped...this quietness is so unbearable...I hate having to use the sound of the people talking in TV to pretend I'm not alone again...

Decorating for Chinese New Year

"Choi Sun" -- the God of Prosperity -- reminds me of that TVC I watched in Hong Kong: Obama annoucing Choi Sun as the new Secretary of Treasury..haha..
