…all good things must come to an end…
It’s started…
On Monday, Jenny left to go back home. She’s the first one out of the close group of friends that I’ve made here to go back, and I can’t say that it felt the least bit good. On the contrary, it was quite painful… 
On Sunday, Don, Jenny, and I all went to Mongkok, where it all started. We spent our last time together doing everything we had done together this past semester. We had lunch at this nifty hibachi place, and then got Hui Lau Shan for the last time together. Afterwards, we hit the hawker stalls and I was actually able to use my Cantonese to get Don some fresh squid balls, while Jenny got her last order of fresh waffle balls. Jenny and I walked around Mongkok a little bit more to do some shopping after that, but I felt the minutes just winding down still. It was hard; with the passing of each minute, my heart grew heavier and heavier. I hate good byes. When we got back to campus, I just vegged in front of my computer, not quite sure what I wanted to do. I was hungry, but I just couldn’t bring myself to get out of my room to get some food. By the time I did though, it was 11pm and the stupid poolside cafe was already closed. Fortunately, Shaw’s tuck shop was open, so I walked down there to grab some dim sum and ramen with Jenny for the last time. We got to talk a little bit about what was in store for us in the future, then Don came down to join us. We chatted for another couple of minutes, then the mosquitoes forced us to go on our ways. I don’t know what happened, but as I gave Jenny a hug, I couldn’t help but start to cry. I tried to fight it with all my might and started to hurriedly walk back to my hostel so she wouldn’t see, but the sniffling wouldn’t stop. 
Shit, this was it, it was starting. It was the beginning of the end of it all. Don had asked me if I was going to go with him to take Jenny to the airport. I said I couldn’t. I’m a wimp, I can’t bear to see people leaving me…
I was stupid and watched “Closer” that night…I cried some more. Love can be so cruel…
Monday was a good day though. As I’ve said before, I’m a child of the weather. The sun was incredibly beautiful that day, and the rays took my whole being and lifted me from my depressing state. Nikie and I went to Shatin and I was able to take care of both my Singapore trip this coming weekend and the Beijing trip for me and Sis. We got an awesome deal, and I’m totally looking forward to it all. Afterwards, I went to Wanchai and picked up my passport, then headed down to Central to check out some custom suit tailors. While I was there, I picked up some pancit and purple sticky rice dessert from a Pilipino food stand. It was sooooooo good, I miss sweet sticky rice. Man, I love Hong Kong… 
I finally watched Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle that night, then decided to watch Dodge Ball as well. It was good times… 
Today was awesome. Shirley and I had dim sum at Chung Chi, then Nikie and I decided to go to Kowloon Tong to get me a new hair cut, preferably more fobby, but it didn’t turn out to be the case. So as soon as we walk in there, we see this BEAUTIFUL man just standing a bit off to the side, he’s a stylist because he was wearing the white stylist’s shirt. So ok, the receptionist lady asked me if I wanted my regular stylist and I said that I wanted to try someone new–it was the BEST decision I had ever made. Nikie told me later that she was totally hoping, as was I, that I would request the beautiful man off to the side. They told us to go have a seat and wait, so Nikie and I started to flip through the catalog of stylists at this particular location. We stumbled upon Kenji and I told Nikie that that must be the guy’s name because they looked quite similar. Within a couple of minutes, they had seated us at the stylist’s station, and shortly after, Kenji came. I was drinking my hot tea and I nearly creamed in my pants when he came by and started to touch my hair, lol. 
I was soooooooo excited that he was going to be doing my hair. Anyhow, long story short, although he didn’t necessarily cut my hair the way I wanted it, it’s ok and he’s still beautiful. I told Nikie that my hair cut looks like it cost $30, and the other $150 was so I could look at Kenji, hehe. Yay for beautiful men! So after he finished my hair cut, Nikie and I asked him to take a picture with us–I’ll post it up as soon as Nikie sends me the pic, hurry up girl, hehe! The picture doesn’t do him justice though, he’s sooooooo much better in person. If, however, you don’t have any patience though, you can check him out at any Esprit Salon poster, he’s the hulkingly beautiful man named Kenji!!! 
I had to tutor English today. It was fun. The kids need to get more accustomed to us, but they were making progress today…
A huge group of us went to dinner at Ruby Tuesdays tonight to say farewell to James. Argh, another good bye, another good friend gone. He wasn’t feeling too well, but he still came out, so that was good because then everyone got a chance to say good bye. I think I caught his cold though, I need to desperately fight this virus, I don’t want to be sick when I go to Singapore. Anyhow, after dinner, I went back with James to help him pack. Putting away all his stuff was kind of good for me; it totally prepared me for how I’ll feel when I’ll have to pack my stuff up a final time. I’m gonna miss you James. You were a great work-out buddy and eating buddy! I’m glad you’re returning to Berkeley, so we’ll still get to hang out…
Aww geez, I’m glad I won’t be the last person leaving this place. I honestly don’t think I’d be able to handle seeing all of my friends leave me. Jenn asked if we were all really going to have a reunion in December. My answer: DAMN QUEER! I’d say “damn straight,” but we all know that nothing about me is straight, hehe.
Ugh, I soooo felt like one of those kids that has an abusive parent who beats up on the other parent when the fight was going on, wishing I wasn’t there the whole time as I hid in my room. Argh, crazy straight people!
