Today was busy day. Helping family, doing shopping for family. Then gardening. Sawing, cutting some parts of a tree and picking the fruit. The interesting thing I did was going to barber and shave (Synonym to your facial treatment) the same day u did. Well I studied a littled bit and then comes the cat we are supposed to take care for a few days. And visiting this guy. And here I am looking at ur pics and remembering all those nice memories we had together. I must confess, the very happy moments of my life. Please dont get used to this sentence " I miss you a lot", cause everytime I say it, I really mean it. I miss you a lot.

It's really hard to explain what I've done so far in Hong Kong. Apart from supply teaching, what else have I done? em... anyway... I went to do facial and massage again... and before that... haircut.

Why do I do these mo liu things so often?
1. My friend gave me a coupon for facial and massage, I want to use it asap.
2. Sometimes I'm mo liu.
3. These are the things I always wanted to do in London but turned out to be quite impossible.
4. I'm really mo liu.

You know? It's really difficult to stop myself from buying their package after trying their product and service. This time I still managed to stop myself. Not sure about next time. I felt so good that almost fell asleep during today's treatment and massage. You should go and learn it.

And finally I can add some stuff here. Hearing your nice voice without all these internet problems is such a gift. And the more pleasant thing is knowing you more and discovering the deep pure love in your heart. Being among family and friends and missing you all the time just tells me one thing. The most important is being with you. That's the thing only matters. 

I hope u dont feel any sympthoms of flu anymore. And I hope to see you very soon. At least you will eat fresh fruit. 

By the way I got more interested in Chinese traditioanl culture and specailly these rings.

First of all, you need to know about the traditional Confucius culture. It's a huge system with Five Relationships that soldiers listen to emperors, students listen to teachers, children listen to parents, wives listen to husbands, younger siblings listen to older siblings. Therefore traditional Chinese culture is never a chaotic one. People were all born with a proper position and everything is in order in the society.

However, dad called me this afternoon, invited me to have dinner together in a restaurant near my home. Very likely he could sense that I won't get to parents home for dinner again. When I arrived the restaurant he asked if I didn't sleep well last night. He said he didn't sleep well too. He by no means intended to upset me but just felt worried about me that's why he might be overreacted last night. He even ended up in a rather apologizing manner, 'Father and daughter no overnight hatred ok?'

This is not a common type of conversation in a family in my culture. It seems my tears last night is more powerful than the 2500 years philosophy of Confucianism.

Listening to the music you have been put there, reading the story of James, I was over whelmed with so many emotions. I was touched by the story. If you want something you will get it, and then you will enjoy the happiness.
Oxford is really nice place. A city for me. Full of nice colleges and wonderful libraries. Quiet and peaceful. Even I enjoyed it so much I was thinking about you the whole time. It would be really wonderful if we went together. I really look forward to have a trip with you. Hope ur mother feels better soon.

My mom is having teeth problem, which is rare, I called my Dentist friend James (primary school classmate) for help. A nice conversation on phone, but his baby was crying too loud... wawawawa non-stop so we had plenty of pauses. I saw this baby once when he farewelled me last year so I asked how old the baby boy is now, 2 or 3 years old? He said, 'Nono! this crying one is a new one, a baby girl, just born on 2 sept!' Such a surprise reminded me a lot of their past. This couple stayed together for 8 years before marriage. Wife's family is the main obstacle coz they are from a better family and the key problem is: Jame's parents are both blind, Jame's and his sister were born short-sighted. In their wedding, a hectic one, the wife's family and relatives looked rather cold, but it was a very touching wedding to me, coz James knelt down suddenly in front of his sitting wife and cried, '...Finally I can marry you...' Now, 2-3 years later, second baby was born, suddenly he became a father of two, full of laughter over baby's tears.
