Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling…
On the highway to airport right now..weather is gloomy..drizzling in fact.
Someone says, “Lucky thing we visited the Great Wall already.”
I’m not going to miss china even though we had a stunning event yesterday at Commune near the wall…the city center was a sight to behold…I still hv dreams abt the peking duck we had on first day…there was a little twinge of curiousity abt the people here and everything abt them reflected in architecture..the way the grass is kept..the way business is done etc but I’m more relieved to be going home.
The event is huge and I need to store it quickly before the immensity of the new month hits me head on.
All the more cos today is merdeka eve and foresee partying wit drink bud who was away for more than a month. But before that there is also the colleagues wedding … No saree there.
Slight bottleneck in front… Hope we make it to airport on time.. Haven’t had brekkie and I’m famished. Plus 630 am is ungodly hour to wake to catch a plane.
Update:
At starbucks now. Going to the airport here is like meeting half the population of china as well…@lus wat were the chances of meeting the china b ball team on their way to germany???
We gave each other liberal doses of eyeballs..but eventually separated at immigration.. And then came smack upon another china team… This time decided to speak wit them in my lauya mandarin.. this was the judo team on their way to korea… I marvel at four of their hulksters.. Usually more suitable for basketball..were they being channeled into sports they might not hv an interest in?
Hv always loved the china, korea and taiwan, japan teams.. Saw them as finely tuned athletic machines (even tho china teams basics were sucky). I always esp admired those whose limbs and joints seemed to be fully wrapped in sturdy and spongy tendons and meniscus.. Enhancing their ability to hop around with least damaging impact to their joints and never ever seeming to suffer from sprains, tears or overworkedness.
Checked out the departure info and see that the b ball team is leaving an hour after us at gate 17… Maybe I will go over to say hi…
Update: The China team also drinks coffee! Sigh…they are so cute.
