A couple of years ago, when I was in the airport, about to leave Singapore for my month-long vacation in China and then leave for Canada, I sent an email to a friend of mine, telling her: I wanted to tell you something, but wait when I come back.

I was not trying to tease her or to make her thought I was funny. In fact, when I sent her the email, I was about 5 minutes before the boarding gate was closed, and I was in the lobby that is about 2 minutes of walking away from the boarding gate.

Then I went to China, with no Internet access whatsoever and had a rather peaceful vacation.

When I finally got to Canada and checked my email box, I saw a message from that friend of mine: Don’t keep me in suspense. That is the cruelest thing you can do to someone.

I apologized, not knowing exactly why I received such harsh comments from her. After all, I did have the plan to tell her something, but I was just out of time and afterwards, out of Internet!

I guess our almighty Lord finally gave me an answer. He put me through a similar trial.

This time, I was the one who was told: I want to tell you something, but wait when I come back.

And now, I know what kind of jerk I was at that time.

I am not that much of a religious person to be very honest, nor I am someone who usually believes in retributions. I do things that I deem are necessary and never look back after I’ve done them, for most of the time.

But I guess I was just lucky enough not to be hurt that much by the bad things I’ve committed.

And sometimes, while I thought someone else was the unreasonable one, I turned out to be the bad guy.

I am not sure that friend of mine still reads my blog as we’ve been out of touch for a while, but if she does:

I am sorry for being such an idiot.

这两天看到大家都在看我的blog，很开心。

知道这个世界上还有那么多人关心我是一件很幸福的事。

虽然说“大恩不言谢”，我还是要说一声“Thank you！”

前几天心情不好，所以屁话多了一些，希望大家不要介意。

期末考试下个礼拜就开始了，我又要扎回书堆里去了。

希望所有考试的朋友们加油！

Don’t misunderstood that, that was just my personality type…:)

Take this test, it is fun and it is free: http://www.kisa.ca/personality/

And if you want, you can always post it on your own blog or comment here to let other people know what kind of person you are.

Enjoy!

It has been like a week since I am back to Canada, but I must say that I’ve been too lazy to write anything on the blog and keep it updated.

Well, talking about my vacation in China…what should I say? The feeling is rather mixed. The good part is of course, I was able to see some of my friends, and family, some of them that I’ve not met for like almost 10 years. My parents had more white hairs than I last saw them 3 years ago, but nothing else has changed a lot with them.

It was pretty sad to see my grandpa though, who used to be such a healthy person and was traveling all over the city who is now lying on the bed, unable to move since he broke his leg 3 months ago. Grandma has lost considerable amount of weight too to take care of her husband, that was really not easy for her. It almost made me drove me nuts when I realize how difficult it was for them and how little I can do to at least help them a little.

Then it was friends, well, first, I was the only one who is still single among the group of friends I met, guess there are way more girls in Hefei, where I lived for the first 13 years of my life, than Waterloo. I even met the first girl I’ve ever dated with, she is now having a good job and a good boyfriend, I really wish them the best!

(The article above was typed when school first started, somehow, I never managed to finish up it, and if not because I reconfigured my Windows Live Writer today, I decided to put it up as the way it is, since it is just impossible for me to write it again from the feelings that I had months back)
