A day to remember
Today is a day to remember. A toast to my bravery~ When we were waiting for Fabby & Nic to come out from the hall, I saw him -- a friend from more than 11 yrs ago, someone more than a friend who has been so influential in my life once upon a time, but who has disappeared in my life. It hasn't been a long time since I saw him with a group of friends, but it has been yrs since we really talked. Today, when I saw him for the first time, he didn't see me. I was kinda scared for some reason. Then I saw him again, and he saw me this time too. I congratulated him, and asked him if he knows where's Fabby. He said he saw her, but dunno where she went, and he helped me try calling Nic. Then I asked, "Can I take a photo with you?" and he said sure. 11 yrs...and this is our first photo together. It's weird. People who know my story will know why. I can't believe that I had the courage to do that. I finally have the courage to ask him for what I want. For the first time. And it's amazing to have the feeling that I have him as a friend now. Thank you.
I also took a pic with another elementary school friend Dekel! So happy~~ I was just talking to Annie on the phone today and told her that he made me a Pekkle with cloth back in Gr.6. And he drew me a "siu gut" picture haha. It has been a touching afternoon. Those yrs have always been the most wonderful yrs, and I'm sure that Annie and I will keep talking about it for all the yrs to come! ^-^

Friends, friends, friends
Yesterday, I walked to Fabby's house and walked to Markville Mall with her~ On our way, we had breakfast at "Phoenix Restaurant". Then we continued, and we shopped for about 2 hrs after we got there. I got a visor, but Fabby couldn't find a convo dress that she loves. On our way back, we had tea at "Phoenix Restaurant" again hahaha, the ppl must think we're crazy. It was sooo hot & humid yesterday, so the walk wasn't very pleasant. We got all sweaty haha, but it's nice spending time with her~
After I got home, I drove to teach piano. On my way back, there's a thunderstorm! That's the first time I drove in such pouring rain, and I was so scared!! But I got home safely. =P
At night, Amy came to pick me up to go to FMP for dinner & drink with Karina. Amy has been having some issues with her parents, and she wrote this letter to sort out & express things to them. She's a CBC, so she couldn't write in Chinese. I helped her translate her letter last week, and we came out last night so I could read it to her. I'm glad that I was able to help her, because I know that it means a lot to her. She really needs that support. I listened to them talk for a long time, and we stayed there for 2 & a half hrs. It was nice~ Then Karina drove me home, and she stayed at my house for a while to talk some more while I lent her some books.
After that, Yip picked me up and we went to eat something with Joe. Well, I didn't eat anything 'cause I was so full & I wasn't feeling comfy. The pollen allergies plus the Sun made me itchy. ><" But I'm glad to be with Yip -- at that moment and all this time we've been together. I'm more than lucky to have found him. ^-^

Thankful
People say that happiness doesn't last forever, love doesn't last forever, nothing lasts forever. Some of us might have experienced disappointing, or even devastating relationships, and it's difficult for us to trust and believe in all the good things in the world again. But things happen, sometimes without any justifiable reasons that we can understand. But I do believe that they happen because they need to happen. Maybe your bf dumped you 'cause he's not right for you, and Mr. Right is just right around the corner waiting for you. Maybe you've been too blessed so you need to experience something for your own growth & development. Whatever the reasons might be, things don't happen just because everyone wants to see you upset & break down. Sometimes things are just perfect with their imperfection, right? And life goes on, no matter what happens.
It's been a little more than 3 yrs with Yip now. I'm really glad that we're still the way we are in the beginning, just better. I used to worry about the tiniest little things, things that wouldn't bother me anymore today. But that's a stage that I had to go through, and so I did. I had an awesome time this past week, but when I think about it, I can't really pinpoint why that is. Things are just normal as usual, we follow the same routines, but I feel so loved and blessed. Even on rainy days. I'm really glad that although there's no apparent excitement in our relationship, we don't feel bored with each other. I still love family dinners, I still love to watch him play soccer (even more than b4), I still love to stay at his house even when he's downstairs & I'm upstairs working separately. I'm really thankful for what I have, because it's so simple and comfortable to be with him. And it's not just him -- including his family & friends. It feels like this is the way life should be. Sometimes I still feel the way we used to be when we first dated. A tiny compliment from him can cheer me up & make me so excited. Maybe this is what comes with the first love package~
Although there are less fortunate friends around me who have lost their once sweet relationships, I still believe in happily ever after. Who knows? I can't be 100% sure that he won't cheat on me; I can't be 100% sure that he won't leave me for other reasons. But that's life...what can we be 100% sure of? The only thing I know is that I want to believe in what I want, and if I don't, it's more difficult for it to happen. We all need to have hopes in life, no matter how unpredictable it is. It's what keeps us going, keeps us learning, keeps us living, keeps us loving. =)

I'm half way through Dalai Lama's < The Universe in a Single Atom >, and almost finished reading Emily Giffin's < Something Borrowed >. I'll be so occupied with books this summer! I have a few non-fictions on my bookshelf, another Emily Giffin book, < Something Blue >, that Annie lent me, and about 10 亦舒 books that my aunt just gave me~ They'll keep me busy while I wait for Nicholas Sparks' < Dear John >'s paperback. =P
