Miss You All EXCEEDINGLY!

Feeling the abject sentimentality burning up my energy of falling asleep, so I'm still writing here when it's also around midnight in Thailand, 2am 2/Aug in Seoul, 5pm in Bristol/Southampton, and noon in St. Vincent and the same time in Beijing as in Taipei.

Am thinking about my flatmates, the best mates ever, Tip, Becky, Flint and Charlie. Miss these lovely mates who I need to speak in another language to communicate with. Miss them and am reminding myself of how lucky I was to ever have them as flatmates in my life. Can't ignore the sudden thought that I should have cherished them more when I was in DC 59C and should have contacted them more when we said goodbye. 



⊙ Tip the nicest Thai girl in the world, was always sweet, friendly, generous to everyone and was so considerate that I was extremely touched; with her willingness to share her life experience, I truly know the world better (and know this is a big big world with many cultures and ideologies)!

⊙ Becky the nicest British girl in the world, always wore her gorgeous smile and talked in the tenderest tone. To me, she's seemingly got a Gwyneth-Paltrow-like angelic face and personality; she was like a summer breeze whenever seeing her!

⊙ Flint the nicest Chinese boy in the world, was very naive, straightforward and willing to share his ideas, esp. very different ideas of the situation between China and Taiwan. He's so simple, modest and sincere, unlike other Chinese boys, that I won't ever want to lose a mate like him!



⊙ Charlie the nicest British boy in the world, was the best chef and was always willing to talk about everything I asked and being very helping (esp. with my study); though he didn't behave in a passionate way, the friendship with him was like 'Noble Person's Relationship is Insipid as Water' in the Chinese proverb.

(NB: The nicest British landlord is Pete and the nicest British man is Jonathan! =p )





⊙ And coursemate James from Seoul and Ernie's flatmate George from St. Vincent, were both father/sage-like and 'being good friends regardless of age', in the Chinese proverb, to me. James' one of the only two or three males in the TEFL course and he's also the eldest; I did enjoy every conversation we had. However, I lost contact with James, who never ever replied emails at all. And didn't have the chance to keep in touch with George, whose last name's coincidentally Bristol. I miss the time talking and cooking with him indeed, esp. when he mentioned his adorable kids back home!

Hope you all are right now doing very well, having a wonderful life wherever you are at the moment, feel the love from me (though we're all this apart) and receive the best wishes from me.

Take good care, my dear friends!
