My lovely mother~

I received a phone call from my mummy last night. I was surprised that she gave me a phone call because we usually chat through webcam. My mummy told my host mother that her computer was broken so that she couldn't see me through Msn so she gave me a call. After answering her call, my host mother sincerely said that "your mother must miss you a lot because she hasn't seen you for few days. This is mother's love". I feel very happy to hear that and it almost made me cry.

Remember at the begining of I came here to study, Once, I didn't go online to chat with my mother for a night as the internet was suddendly out of connection. She then called me in the next day morning at AUS time 7:00am that meant HK time 5:00am only!! I wondered if she went to sleep!! I asked her why she didn't call me at that night and she said it was because she thought I slept already! She was so sweet at the time T.T

After that, I go online every day no matter I am free or not. Maybe I just leave her a message but that's perfectly enough for her.

My lovely mummy, although your consideration for me makes me feel warm and sweet, I still want to tell you:

you can call me anytime!! you don't need to worry that your call will wake me up!!

Cherish all friends I have

Do you have an experience that who you are keeping in contact with are not the closest friends in the past but the closest friends (used to be) have never kept in contacted?
I have this experience.

One of my dear friends will arrived Sydney tomorrow and I feel exciting of that because it is my first time to meet him here. I know him for more than 4 years and we were in the same secondary school. Even though we had a good friendship in school, there was still a gap between us as we were not in the same class and he was doing the higher level class. We did not have a closed friendship at that time. However, we have still kept in very good contact with each other since he was graduated from our school. We keep a very good friendship now and even stronger than before. Every time we have gathering, we chat for very long time and never feel bored. Now he comes to Sydney for visiting his sister and he still thinks of me and brings me a lot of things.

This makes me think that why I can keep a very good friendship with those who were not the closest people in the past (he is one of the cases)? But Why I could not keep the friendship with some who used to be my closest friends in the class??

I remember that I had a closed friend when I was doing high school in Hong Kong. She is girl and she seems like having a lot of common things with me so that we became very good friends. We used to go toilet together, join the same make-up class or even share a lunch box. We did every thing together and teachers even called us "twins". I felt very happy to be with her and I think she had the same feeling with me. However, I do not know what causes an estrangement between us and we have not contacted with each other since we were graduated.

I do not think it is the "fate" (Chinese concept) of our relationship. It was just because I was "lazy" to keep this friendship. Building up a friendship is no easy, it needs time and motivation. I feel sorry for this friendship because I think I miss something. If I have tried to give her a call or just sent her an email, I will not miss a friend, a very good friend.

What else I learn from this is that I will cherish all friends I now have!!

Sept or Jan??

I'm confronting when I should go back HK~
there are two options for me,
one is the break after this semster~ (in Sept)
another one is the break after this course... (in Jan)
I basically had a plan that I will go back to HK after this course~
it means in Jan 2oo8, then I can have Chinese New Year in HK~
I make this paln because I didn't have time with my family during last Chinese New Year.
and you know what... a lot of trandtional good Chinese food I can eat during Chinese New Year.
but unfortunately, I just heard a news that I "have to" come back Sydney for preparing sth for university~
it means I can have only 3 weeks holiday in HK and I have to leave HK before Chinese New Year if I really go back HK in Jan....
if I go back HK after this semster, I will have 1-month holiday in HK.
but I don't think it's the best time to go back HK!!
WHAT SHOULD I DO?????

Wheat pack!! Highly recommend!!

I bought a wheat pack from Priceline 2 days ago because the weather here is getting coler. I'm afraid that I will be cold to death if I still don't buy any stuff for keeping warm.
This pack is for the back and body (actually you can use any part of body)and it can be used in cold or hot way!!
I'm not sure what inside the pack is,however, the way to use this pack is very convenient!! What you need to do before using it is to heat it by microwave oven for 2 minuts only!!Then it can provide warm for 2-3 hours!! If you put it in quilt, it will last for longer time!! What amazing invention!! It easily sloves my problems!!
I don't need to use water bottle anymore!!
And, more improtantly, it costs only $10.95!! it's worth to have a try!!
