hello, my friends
November 13, 2006
In the past few years I have been meeting people all around the world, we met, we hung out, we said Good-bye. Some of them walked in and out of my life with little trace, while some of them have become my life-time friends. We write to each other once a month or so to update our lives. I always enjoy opening my mailbox and find a email from some corner of the world that says "hello".
Listed are some of my closest foreign friends, each one has his/her stories. I love them, I learn from them, and I miss them.
Nagisa: a cool Japanese girl, never hesitate to do what she wants to. Now volunteering in Zambia, teaching mathematics, drinking beer in the morning, dating a gorgeous 22 years old black boy.
Tem: Uncle Tem, excellent cooker, lousy student. Running an ice cream company in Bangkok, I can see him getting fat.
Pak: very rich Thai boy, but also very nice and generous, living in London now, partying hard.
Michko: a Japanese girl that look much alike me, and also doesn’t have much luck with guys. Our emails usually start like this " hello, how are you these days? have a boyfriend yet?"
Daniel: Dr. Smart, British, handsome, and a scientist, had his PhD at 25 years old. Now doing research in NY;
Chaewon: my role model, Korean, beautiful and graceful, successful career women with a loving husband, and just had a baby boy, she has it all;
Claudia: Colombian (South America country), used to work for her government protecting wild lives, now is giving up her whole life in Colombia and moving to Seattle for a man she loves.
Angus: nice Canadian (Canadian are always nice), my flatmate plus classmate, helped me with my studies when we were in LSE. Living in Toronto happily with his girlfriend.
Gorden: hot-blooded American kids, worked for couple of NGOs, moving around London, NY, Chicago, never be able to stay in one place longer than a year.
为了忘却的纪念
November 7, 2005
她是我大学最好的朋友。我们一起在外面租的房子,凌云新村44号304,我最喜欢秋天的下午,微凉的风卷起我们阳台门上白色纱帘,电脑里传来王菲的“约定”,她在帮我烧茄汁海鲜意大利面,或者糖醋藕片。 我们一起通宵看片子,一起逛街买衣服,一起八卦。她比我聪明,比我勇敢,比我当机立断。
上一次见面已经是两年前了。那时我放假从英国回来,在上海和她住了几天。她那时在办研究生的退学手续,说是觉得念的没有意思了。她做事总是能叫我惊羡不已。
她和她的男朋友一起来香港转机,所以我们也只有一顿晚饭的时间而已。她还是老样子,高高瘦瘦,好像开心了很多。我想是因为她男朋友吧。记得那个时候我们没为了找男朋友的事少长吁短叹,现在她终于找到牵手的人,看到她挽着他拍照甜甜的笑,我知道她一定很幸福。
边吃边聊, 又讲到那些过去的事情。她还记得我喜欢吃煮毛豆,蚕豆,记得我们常常从楼下的一个叫小食堂的饭店叫菜,记得我们吃散伙饭的那天我穿了旗袍高跟鞋,回家的路上非要跟她换鞋子,还有和我们一起住过的养了一只兔子的couple……呵呵,人的记忆真是神奇,你觉得你自己忘记了,可是给什么东西触动一下,那些情节就慢慢的浮现出来,起初是雾状的,然后渐渐有些人影从迷雾中走出来,五官渐渐清晰,你看到其中那个在笑或在哭的就是你。记得看过什么文章说,其实人记得住你看到过的所有的事情。我要求不高,只要让我记得住半个钟头前看的paper就好。
又要说再见,下次见面不知道会是什么时候。不要紧,我们总有忘却不了的纪念。
祝你幸福~
