Up and Running...

Well, not running (who runs nowadays anyway?) but at least back 'up' from my 1 week plus of illness. Being sick in Melbourne in the terrible heat really makes you miss Hong Kong even more. As i lay in bed during the past week, trying not to drift asleep (but at the same time finding sleep the best alternative), i reminisced those $3HK fish balls... those bowls of 'yeung zhi gum lo' with juicy mango pieces and grapefruit... those 'zhu cheung fun' (such slippery smooth flat rice noodle rolls with toasted sesame, soy sauce, plum sauce and sesame sauce in that little plastic bag)... All the possibilities of eating something different and surprisinly delicious everyday... or the comforting thought of having one of those red bean icy poles after dinner every night, followed by the post-dessert callibee hot and spicy chips....

But there i was, sleeping... not being able to taste anything, not wanting to eat anything.

At least now i'm back up and not feeling like crap anymore. Today i seriously contemplated finding out how much plane tickets on the new Virgin Sydney to HK route was...
