Takio Takav # 2 is out

Takio^Takav # 2

3 days, and I’m back at school, and I’m not even back at Yorkland yet. My mother decided that this summer will be the perfect time to go to Beishang and drop by Hoon Kow. I didn’t understand why we had to go on a vacation, I mean sure I wanted to go somewhere after all these years stuck at home practicing piano. I still remember the day I was discussing this with my parents. I was very excited at first when I heard I was going to Beishang and Hoon Kow. But then afterwards, it wasn’t so exciting after all.

“Why couldn’t we go earlier? So I can come back earlier?”

“Hun, August 9th? AHEM”

“Oh yeh, I forgot I have a piano exam. But why do we have to drop by Hoon Kow?”

“Hun, you haven’t been there for ten years, its time we paid a visit to your grandma and relatives.”

“Alex, your mother is right, and plus it’s only one week”

“Yes but it’s also the week I’ll be missing registration at Raycliffe and when I come back the next day I have to go to school. HIGH SCHOOL.”

“Hun, we already bought the tickets, and I’m sure you’ll do fine, its just grade 9.”

“Your mother is right, you’ll do fine. A vacation is what you need, plus you will love Hoon Kow.”

“No, I won’t” I whispered.

“What is that, Alex?”

“Oh, yeh I’ll love Hoon Kow”

The thing is my parents didn’t understand that I really wanted to go back to Hoon Kow, I haven’t been there for ten years, haven’t gone anywhere outside of York or Toronio for 6 years. The last time I was in Hoon Kow was when I was 5 years old. But I didn’t want to miss registration day and everything; it is my first year at Raycliffe. They think it’s so easy just because I had Chinese school there and my brother attended Raycliffe.

It doesn’t really matter now though, I’m in HK right now, registration day passed and I’m having tons of fun, in a few days I’m going to Disneyland before I come back to York, but then at that time, I won’t want to leave and I always had time to adapt back to going to school but this year won’t be the same. But on the other hand, it wasn’t like I would have came to Hoon Kow if my piano teacher didn’t arrange a concert for us in Beishang, it’s not like it’s a big deal anyways, I know no one in Beishang and no one knows me. Some of them probably hate me since I’m Hoon Kow nese. But I guess, I’m here anyways.

I have to say these past two weeks were fun but I miss Yorkland. I bought tons of things, but I never managed to buy enough souvenirs for my friends. And I have to say this trip was really fun. I got to think through a lot of things, mistakes and even high school. I know it might be hard for me to get used to high school and stuff but in 3 days, I’m going to Raycliffe and registration Day doesn’t matter anymore, it pasted and I had tons of fun in Hoon Kow. I’m glad that I got to go on this trip, I’ve been thinking a lot and I guess, I’m over the mistake finally. I mean I’ve made the mistake and now I know I’ve moved on. I don’t know if this is the “best” way to get over it but if spending a week of vacation with him got me over it then whatever.

I think I’m going to actually miss a lot of things from this trip, the consequence games I played with him and the place I stayed in Hoon Kow. It’s really small compared to my home in York but it’s cozy and comfy. And I also got a whole week of piano “free”. The atmosphere in Hoon Kow is awesome, I go downstairs and out of the apartment and I can go shopping or get something to eat. Now that I think about it, I’m going to miss Hoon Kow soo much when I have to leave. The view of Hoon Kow is very downtown like, you look out the windows and see tons of buildings with lights and Hoon Kow creates the more rowdy atmosphere while York creates the more peaceful atmosphere. It’s wonderful in Hoon Kow except for the fact it’s really humid and hot and the air conditioning in the malls are freezing cold.

I guess time really helped me here, without it, I probably wont be able to get over him or at least get over the fact I’m going to miss registration day. Or was it really time? If time is so precious according to a Chinese saying “One inch of time, one inch of gold” Then did I waste too much time getting over something?
