Today I did some things I wanted to do in quite some time. One of them was: finding a way to climb the roof of my apartment. I've been trying to see the view from a higher perspective (which is already nice when you're on the 2nd story (which is also the top floor & the one I'm living at). The only easy way to reach the top would be through the maintenance hatch, but it's locked and to be used by the concierge only. Next to the hatch is a tall ladder, but it's also locked! There was no other way for me to get to the roof than by standing on the fence of the balcony and pulling myself up from the ledge. This was the most exciting thing I've done in quite some time (but nearly not as exciting as how to get down again!). The view was as expected: utterly brilliant! But what a cold breeze! I was wearing my green army jacket and poloneck diesel for cryin' out loud, but I was shivering all over. It might have been stress though, for being on top of a building illegally without knowing if I would get down without a broken bone. I could enjoy the sunset a little longer this way. Too bad I was the only one to enjoy it.
Ps. The second thing I wanted to do in quite some time was: starting this blog. I hope that in time, if I'm really putting my efforts in it, I will have found a way to share my experiences more profoundly as before. Cheers,
Afong
