Dear Amanda,

I have received your presents. Thank you.

I thought you are going to send me the devil. I was surprise to find the white angle in the parcel too. Emm… presumable I am too good so you cannot stand just give me the devil alone? Hehe…

Thanks for the bookmark too. I love it!!! The leave is nicely done and the wordings are superb! I will share the good advices on this blog later.

I told a friend in Beijing that you are a considerate and caring friend. You send me cards every year and I have never sent you a single piece of paper. Though we hardly in contact, I know you are there for me and I can feel your present. He said I should be ashamed of myself. He jokingly said that the reason you continue sending me cards each year is to remind me how horrible I am and how much I owe you.

My dear, I am sorry for being such a neglectful person. I have no excuses. Though nothing is done on my end, I can assure you that you are the very few VIPs in my life. You were with me during my lows in life. You also shared the most unforgettable period in my life. Without your support, I won’t be where I am today. Nothing I can do to thank you. You will not be forgotten… Just give me a shout whenever you need me, I shall be there for you too!

Oh, I need to beg your pardon for forgetting to delivery my deepest blessing to you on your birthday. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! I wish for happiness be with you forever!!!

I’m on board of the flight to Kuala Lumpur. Yes, I’m going home for Chinese New Year break. It’s not a long one as I would like to have but it’s better than none!

My mind is a total blank at the moment. Work has made me numb. I’m not excited at all, neither do I expect anything. I just know that I need to go home – it’s Chinese New Year! Time to get together!!!

I was back in Beijing on Monday and spent 2 days in Beijing with Yang before I fly back to KL. We went to Jeffery’s house for dinner on Monday. This is the first time Yang met my friends in Beijing. I’m sure Jeff has lots to say about Yang and I. No time to ask. Anyway, does it matter? Jeff has his parents and parents-in-laws in Beijing for CNY. The flat was full of people and the atmosphere was warm and loving.

Yesterday Yang said he has changed since meeting me. Today again he said similar thing – he started going for those dramatic and action movies instead of those boring awards winning movies. (Well I always commented that all his dvds are dead boring!) Do I have such strong influence in making people change? I don’t think so. People change because they want to. I once knew a friend who is very passive and negative about life. Amanda and I tried to cheer him up and tried to make him see the beautiful side of life. Both of us failed because he shut us out. We can’t influence other if they don’t allow. Anyway, I am glad that Yang is becoming more cheery but he still has a long way to go!
