Random Thoughts (2)
I need more discipline to update my blog regularly. It's just… it's been very busy lately, the QuGee headquarters has now moved to Lancaster Gate (And I haven't even blogged about that!) Shame on you, Xiao!
It takes me an hour and a half every school day to wake up properly. Shower, make myself a cup of coffee and bread with butter, do my hair, decide what to wear, put on make-up, decide on shoes. In that order. Everyday, in that routine fashion. It used to take me five minutes to get to school when we still lived at Queen's Gate; now it takes me a good 20 mins to walk through Hyde Park, past the Prince Albert Memorial and the Royal Albert Hall, down the front steps that lead to the Royal College of Music. And everyday it is that same path back again, sometimes earlier, sometimes later, in a hurried way, afraid of being locked behind the iron gates that face home.
But rain or shine, there is always time to contemplate now. More time that there was when we lived at Queen's Gate. And more to appreciate around me, meticulously notice the beauty around me. And today I allowed my thoughts to linger…
Today I take Hyde Park for granted,
tomorrow it will be the Swiss Alps.
Today I put on my fashionable trainers,
tomorrow these will be my hiking boots.
Today I see the Korean tourists,
tomorrow I'd be lucky to sight one.
Today the scar of suppression fades,
tomorrow I love with caution.
Today I bid you all goodbye,
tomorrow I return with passionate kisses.
It is so much easier to summarise one's thoughts into a few lines (of non-poetry) than to write an anecdote. I wonder what I will think of tonight…
