I just got an invitation for a reunion from some of my elementary school classmates. After scrolling through the members list, seeing so many faces which, like my own, have changed drastically over the years I realize that i really do want to attend and get to know all those who've poked out of the soil during these nine years. So far away from home, I suddenly wish I were back in Canada.
Now, sitting in shaun's flat, he, gabe, ming, cora, my ex sin yee and rob are drinking steadily into another saturday's night, Lan Kwai Fong waits for our drunken arrival, where I'll use whatever cantonese I know to charm my way into someone else's life. In this beautiful city that has been my real home for four years, where I've really grown up I feel so completely distracted..... I miss canada. I miss my old ring of mates. Alex, CJ, Peter, Moir, Brent, Kayn...even sparcely decorated memories of Immures, Ruth, and the staircase fanatics. What are you all up to?
Would anyone care to pay for my ticket back to the hammer?....haha... oh how wonderful that would be. The last time I smiled at that old grey skyline was a year and a half ago.......two visits in four years. Now, not enough.
home home home home home hammer!
take care all

If you come back, I'll buy you a pint of the finest Canadian beer.
And I will gladly watch you drink that pint of beer.
