so i was on the bus today, and it went past this road named whampoa west. it is about 1-2km away from whampoa, where i grew up, though if one drive, the distance will be much further since there isnt a direct road linking the two places.
when i first learned of this road while playing some imaginery driving game on the street directory with my brothers, (speaking of which, that must be why im quite good with directions, been reading the street directory since.... 6 7 years old!), i thought it must be really far away, since i live in whampoa, and have never come across that road. guess it didnt help that i look at the world atlas a lot too when i was young, and only places like america, africa, korea has to be separated by north, south, east, west.
a 20 minutes walk from home to my primary school classmate's house along ah hood road used to be such a long walk, and i had to take a school bus to school when the distance only takes a 10 mins walk nowadays.
it seems like relative distance really shorterns as one grows older. and here i am, 1 month plus away from my semi solo trip to far far uk.. or maybe it wont be so far anymore after that.
