Till We Meet Again - Teh O Ice Limau
After 3 weeks and 2 days of wait, today I set off again.
Current location: Kuala Lumpur
Destination : London via Hong Kong.
It is 8 weeks since I left Hong Kong... *muse*
369km away, parents have sent a daughter off. 2519km away, some friends will be looking forward to meet her. -7hours away, a husband is waiting. In the next room, in the same time zone, a cousin is getting ready to send her cousin off.
Some people might find that they miss a place they used to live in because of the convenience it offers in transportation; the delicious local food; the multitudes of shopping venues and sales seasons; and sometimes it can simply be the surrounding luxury it is equipped with.
I realised as I move from place to place, that I would usually miss the people who live there most. The characters that dwell within those places make the experience of the place memorable.
Last evening over a few cups of 'Teh O Ice Limau', a couple of friends bid farewell. We do not know when we will meet again in person, but we will definitely meet. I feel that the word "farewell" on its own can sometimes sound rather final. Personally, I prefer to couple it with "farewell, till we meet again" because I believe that the globe has grown smaller with air transportation getting more convenient and communication technology more advanced. Keeping in touch today is definitely easier compared to my grandparent's times.
