i'm gonna be on a plane in 8 hours.

packing is about done, and i have kept my things away in boxes. i think it's funny how you can fit my life into less than a dozen small boxes, and just like that i disappear. these inconspicuous cardboard things hold away my possessions as if i never came to calgary.

so it's true when they say, it's not about how long you live, but about how long the things you've done live.

remember that kid back in primary school who stole your erasers? and those sleep-over parties that never end up with anyone sleeping? what about that guy who serves your coffee (black, no sugars) at your favourite kopitiam? how about that person who helps you buy your movie tickets and choose your seats?

it's not all yes. and it's also not all no's.

in my 20s and wonderful.
dressed to dress you.
