Happy Belated Birthday to Me!

I had my 22nd birthday in late October.^^

I don't know why people tend to treat dinners as birthday gifts, but I received a special gift from my American friend Gregg. The gift came all the way from the States and would show me the other side of people there.

Don't let yourself overjoyed when you find a new way, because chances are that you'll get lost in it - the words are very apt to my current life. Since planning is not my strong suit, most of the time I just take things as they come. But lately I don't feel like sticking to the status quo whilst I can't neglect the benefit of living in the moment. But I believe some big plan for my future will get finalized sooner or later, though still can't help fretting about when and how will it come.

just another post

My German friend came back with her kids for a week. I was so delighted to get to see them after six months. I guess I like her a lot because she knew much about Chinese conventions and somehow could read my Chinese mind. I don't know many Germans but I suppose Germans are meant to be travellers because al my German friends told me they didn't miss their country that much and enjoyed their current lives. Well, things could change a lot just within six months - the kids became distant to me because they spoke only German while my German was absolutely rookie. I felt so terrible that I couldn't make myself understood to them.

She was nice to bring me a gift from Germany. Well, other than that, she was meaning to be a matchmaker and tried to hook me up with this guy who used to be her doctor. See? She was half-Chinese. She brought this up for several times but I was not interested.

(That beautiful gift as I mentioned. It was said to be a beer mug.^^)
