I had a chocolate cookie frappe last week.
"Are you sure?", the cashier asked, "It's full of ice."
Without a slightest hesitation - "Yup."Cold drinks are so delightful, even in winter.
Anyway it wasn't quite wintery was it? Hey it was over 20 degrees!Everything seems to be reminding me a lot of the past, the frappe was not an exception.
Oh the cozy cafe beside the Framwellgate Bridge, the shake shop on the New Elvet.
I tried really hard to resist the temptation of buying another large cup of shake, which would cost me around £5 or something, just like when I was still in secondary school - to stop myself from buying chips every recess, to save $5 a day. No matter it's £5 or $5, I mostly gave in. What a failure.
But so what? It is delightful!Reason why I took over a year to repay the debt to a very very kind insect.I didn't know whether I felt it right - while I was having the frappe on the street, people gave me a strange look. Guess it'll take some time for me to get used to the "normal" way of living in Hong Kong, which I am quite reluctant to.And it got cold again."Oh you're still wearing a coat - finally!", a classmate said in astonishment yesterday.
I am quite happy to be different, though this can be deemed to be abnormal.Then I realised I wear the same amount of clothes while it was snowing.Yes I admit the increasing feeling of missing the D-town was induced by yet another failure.
But life's amazing isn't it? You never know where it leads you to. You never know what a smallest decision will ripple to.Sisi's life was such a tragedy - being a empress could do you not much good.
Dealing with the annoying royal etiquette, the early death of the firstborn daughter, the suicide of her only son, an unsuccessful marriage, and eventually - a totally random assassination of herself.

Could it be any worse?
Probably that's why she loved to travel a lot.
I'm lucky to have visited two places she lived in.
I've never been to Nice, but I've been to Leeds and the isles of Greece.
Good enough.
