Shanghai, where the sun rises early and sets late! where the day is always long, and the night short. where the weather is unpredicatble or sometimes just plain crazy. where everything is like my hometown yet also very different in the way people live their lives. Shanghai, this is my Shanghai.
I've been here for four months and yet I feel like it hasn't been that long a period of time since mom took me to the airport to go and experience life here in Shanghai. It's been four months and yet I feel that everything is still the same. What was in my mind when I arrived here still is the same thing that is in my mind. Confusion, and lots of what-if's in my perennial search of what it is that I really want to do in life.
I came to Shanghai hoping that at the end of this journey, i will come to realize what it is that I really wanted to do in life. But four months into this journey, I find out something about myself! I rediscover and relearn the beauty and the reason behind how I live my life. The philosophy behind everything that I do. Coz yes, at the end of the day, I've rediscovered that at the end of the day, I just wanna be happy. Then I know that everything's gonna be alright.
The day is long here in Shanghai! Personally I feel that there is just so much to learn! More than the language, I am more interested to learn from the experiences I gain every single day. The people I meet, the people I see. The lives I encounter, as well as from the lives I am able to touch. Shanghai, you've helped me once again figure out that no matter how complicated things can get, if I really, really want it, I can make it simple enough for me to withstand.
