Half a year since I returned

不知不覺返來已經有半年了。
話短，又唔短。話長，又唔係。

有啲事，适应返，就好似冇離開過。
譬如揸車，迟到10分鍾，對不公的事选择沉默。

有時又覺得，自己前兩個星期偅喺倫敦。過自己的生活，有更多時間、Freedom。主要生活更簡單、方便、低消费。

I still remember how divided I was about returning home. On one hand, I didn't feel like I was part of London/Europe. 只是一個過路客。But I did feel a sense of belonging there. After all, London was my home for a year.

And a huge part of me, the filial and loyal part of me couldn't wait to be home.

And now I'm back.

And more disappointed with the political scene. Even though anywhere else is no better.
But more so with pervasive narrow-mindedness, inefficiency, unethical practices, self-serving behaviour, tidak-apa-ness.

I can't help but feel agitated about all that. However, they have revealed to me what I stand for and hold dear. And I think my greatest life lesson begins here.

Thankfully family, work and spiritual life is as wonderful as I imagined. With just the right amount of adversity. It'd be too perfect otherwise.

Interestingly, I am no longer as attached to Korean entertainment. Not for lack of time. I just have less tolerance for them. Not even shows I watched regularly. Feels like they take away too much of my time from meaningful things.

Unfortunately, I have less time to bake. Especially sourdough bread. Have not been successful in finding the right rhythm to it. Been sorely missing the whole process and challenge.

That's when I seriously miss being back in London.
