Time for the little bird to leave the nest again and back to Melbourne I fly.
Yet again my time here in KK is limited, just like every year before it.
I didn't do much this year. Just some reunions, a little pig out, CNY... just what students normally do during their semester breaks although I did try to refresh my piano skills this time round.
Thank goodness mum forced me to learn piano which helped me loads at the theoretical side of music but now I regret stopping at Grade 3. :(
Nevertheless, Grade 3 piano knowledge still allowed me to understand and play most piano pieces like 100 Years, Haru Haru, Because I'm a girl and Someone Like You.
I do hope, with time and effort, I could play song covers like this girl.
Any who... Yesterday, I decided to visit and stay at my grandparent's place for a day.
I know I'm always pampered and be crowned as the little prince in their eyes, since my brother and I are the only bearers left of the Hong legacy (DAMN SON!).
Yi and I grew up in my grandparent's place and although the house is old, wonderful memories of the past are still preserved within these brick walls. Here are just a few photos I managed to snap while I was there.
Great grandpa.

It hurts to see your loved ones getting older as years go by but I'm really grateful that they are still around. Talking to them and listening to the stories of their life and struggles during the Chinese Civil War, it gives me great joy to know about my heritage and the history of my grandparents.
I'm truly blessed with those who are around me, friends and family alike.
And this is just the few that I thank the Lord for.
