This rewrite of the entry was done in May, 2026. This blog has been around for 15 years. The reason I revisit this place was because of an unexpected video clip sent through from a mechanic I hired to put 880 back together - a lot had happened and I haven't had 880 in a useable condition for 3 years.
So long story short, yes I will be cycling again. This time in the UK. I will try to catch up with the writing. This place brought back a lot of memory. The things that I wrote, and the way I used my language. Now I am very naturally writing and thinking in English. My Chinese/Cantonese/Mandarin have screwed up a lot. I have learnt to speak in Japanese.... And now cycling has become an approach for restoring my work-life balance.
I have just got off a session with the work-life-balance coach offered by my workplace. They encourage journaling to help. I do write in paper and pen, I keep a diary. Now I have my bike back - and kudos to this mechanic, my bike now runs amazingly smooth - so let's revive this journal.

When I create this blog for my awesome journey in 2011, I wrote them all down in my mother tongue, which is Cantonese, without a thought. This make the blog to be unreadable even to other Chinese users. I would say this is understandable to someone who is so attached to this place, Hong Kong, for so many years. On the other hand, I have also taken into consider that there is nothing so special about my trip to stand out in the seas of bike blogs written in major language such as Chinese and English. I have, however, eventually translated them into Chinese and posted all them here. After eight years, I think I have grown up a lot, although my little child-like Dreamer is still running and poking around inside me, I have re-written all them extensively with refined language to express my then self better for an enhanced experience to all the readers and to myself. I didn't change that much as I am always being myself, but I am proud that I keep my promise to be a better man through all these pains, especially if you know what is happening at the time I write. Nevertheless, I am taking the chance that I am going to another trip in 9 days to tidy up here for a bit to ready for another trip entry. And I have not say anything about to give up in re-writing the stories in English.
