i believe i can fly. i believe i can touch the sky.

Today is my lunar birthday.  Met Wiinnie, Grey, Huyang and Shangduo for dinner in a Beijing Hot Pot Restaurant.

 

I have been looking forward to this dinner for the whole week. The feeling of meeting old friends was so nice. Seems we don't need to talk much and we can still understand each other. This is a very enjoyable and comfortable night! Thanks so much for coming and thanks for their cute birthday presents. I have put the little rabbit on my bad and I will be sleeping with her tonight!

 

It's a surprise to get the call from Jeremy, or maybe it's not really for me, but for Grey, haha. If Jeremy was still with us in BJ, he would definitely took part in the dinner as well. It seems that he is pretty poor in London. Life seems to be boring there, just like the PKU without my closest group of friends.

I am now having lunch, eating a meal cooked by myself!

The yummiest ever......

the carrot, corn and pork soup!

fresh tomato, crab stick and smoke salmon spaghetti!

They look great and they taste great!

WOW!!!

I met so many old friends when I browse facebook today. So many of them are from my primary school! I am wondering if we have any chance to hold a gathering?

 

Saw some old friends of SMCC orchestra on facebook too. Still wondering how come there are so many of them studying music now! And Tinny, surprising studying in Royal Academy of Music! I'm so proud of her! For Vivian and Tiffany and many others, it seems that I have not contacted them for a long long time. Not sure how they're doing...... Best wishes to all of them!

 

Memories are always nice!

 

After a day of depression, I decided to hold a birthday party!

 

This is our final year. In my class, there are 8 people (or more) who will  soon or have just had his/her birthday! And coincidentally, the 7 of us are pretty good firends! We are actually in the same friend circle. I just can't figure out why we never discovered this earlier.

 

So, our plan now is, haha, a secret!

 

I guess I am looking forward to this birthday party! I will update more information after it's held!

Relationship is quite a mysterious concept. There are people who I care do not actually care about me, and there are people I don't really concern, but think of me all the time.

 

I believe everyone have had the same feeling. Sometimes you want to make friends with somebody simply because he or she gives you a good impression at the first sight. If that person also like you, the two of you may become good friends. This should be the reason why I am friend with a number of my buddies. However, if that person does not like you or have any feeling towards you (i do not mean love relationship) at all, you two may only be hi-bye friends or cannot be friends at all.

 

Today I access a couple of people's blog and facebook, discovering that there are people who I care (still, I am not talking about love matters) may not remeber me at all. Most likely, these people are my big sisters or big brothers in college or university. They told me their experiences, feelings and suggestions and affects my decision in different stages of my life. Years passed, I have not contacted some of them since they left school. I wonder if they still know me or not.

 

This year, I am a 5th year student in Beida. You could say I am the oldest among all undergraduate in main campus. I believe some of the little year one or year 2 or even year 3 or i-can't-remember people who want to make friends with me, or to make a deeper relationship with me. The same situation once happened on my big brothers and sisters is now happening on me.

 

By the way, being one of the only group of year 5 students is not enjoyable at all, especially when you are not studying in your hometown. When you discover that most of your friends are working in HK or places other than Beijing or even studying in the UK or US or anywhere on earth but Beida, the feeling is awful. Yes, I still have my urban planning classmates, but they all seem to be disappeared from class. In the class I attended today, only around 50% students showed up and 70% of them were late. Even among the 50% appeared in class, 90% of them were playing with the computer or doing sth irrelevant to the course. And even worst, the ceiling of the classroom was falling after several rainy days. At that time, I really have a feeling of studying in a band 5 school.

 

Just now, I msn with Winnie. Although she is still in Beijing, she works so far away from Beida. I missed her. It's so good to hear that she will be coming to Zhongguanchun in the coming weekend. I look forward to our dinner. I believe it would be a very nice chat!

 

Friends in HK are asking for my address these days, reminding me that there are still people who I care concern about me. I am looking forward to their mails. But to say the truth, it would be better if they can remember my address after asking for 4 years. or it's also a good idea to give me a real surprise......

 

I guess, I am homesick now... the first time in these 5 years......

 

School starts very soon.

 

This is a very long summer, and it is one of the freest summers that I have ever had. Three weeks in Hong Kong, four weeks in Beijing, and another three weeks in Hong Kong without any burdens or resposibilities.

 

Originally, I wanted to spend some time thinking about what I am going to do in my future. At the same time, I wanted to give myself a real break and save some oil for the coming years. This is a holiday for me and for my family, spending time together quietly and cosily. Meeting old friends would be another great idea, or you can say, one of my targets in these three months as well. However, summer almost ends and I still havn't met Angie, Rovenna, Evelyn, etc... As I remember, I have promised Evelyn that we are going to meet somedays in this summer, and so as Angie and Rovi......

 

Chatting with Amy is one of the best moments in my life. We can chat anything we want comfortably and freely. No need to say much. No need to see often. She is a friend who really understands me.

 

I have an idea of taking a break in my relationship matters as well. Loving or being loved in an improper way is very tiring. I do want to spend some time alone. Enjoying to be single. Take a rest. Thinking of no one but myself. However, being single is not as easy as you could imagine.

 

Beijing Olympics was a great event and I am lucky enough to be able to take part in it. I met a lot of friends from all over the world, from volunteers to spectators, from officials to princes and princesses. The whole thing was nice originally, but the feeling of being ignored, neglected or misunderstood was not something as nice. The feeling was terrible when you treated somebody as your friend sincerely but they didn't think you deserve to be theirs. Sometimes pure friendship is simple and beautiful, but once added the "love factor", the whole thing would be a lot heavier.

 

You know what I want to do now? If possible, I want to take a walk in an unknown city alone. Walk slowly for a day, or two, until I could figure out what I am going to do next. Actually, before this summer, I had this wish as well. But can anybody tell me why after this summer, I still have the same thought?

 

When someone knows that I am going to be the HK Club Committee, the reaction is beyond my imagination...... And I'm still not dare to tell my mum about that. I'm afraid, her reaction could be even larger......

 

Over these days, I am always not satisfied with my relationship with 04 HKers. It seems that I am not familiar with them well enough, esp the boys. There are several reasons account for that. First, I do not live in 34A, and so, it's not easy to meet them. Second, unlike economics or IR, no one study urban planning with me, not even anything similar. Third, I have been to the exchange program in HK for a year and I missed a year spending the time with other HKers.

 

And the main reason is very probably because of my devotion in SICA......

 

I don't know. I really want to say sorry to those 04 HKers. In three months' time, they will graduate and leave BJ. Seems the chances to meet each other would be less and less...... And based on this belief, I told Suki that I wanted to help HK Club this year, especially because the committee members are all so young and so fresh. I do want to help them.

 

However, when I came back to my room and saw those unfinished essays...... Jesus...... How come I don't spend those time taking more rest and doing my own things? I still have more than 70 credits (including this semester) in order to graduate. I have lectures on both Sat and Sun! No wonder I am scolded by that someone tonight. I promised myself that I have to work really hard on urban planning, as these are the very few courses remaining. And IR too, there are so many things to be caught up. I have just resigned in SICA for 2 days and now take up another post......

 

I really hope that these hard work would worth......
