Meeting Pei-Lin

I got to hang out with Wu Pei-Lin and Eugene again this weekend. I am so grateful that they again drove all the way to Stanford and took me out. We went to IKEA. :) I picked up a rug to cover the stained part of the carpet in my room.

Pei-Lin is such a lovely girl you don't normally meet. :) Luckily we were 1st grade classmate in elementary school (She was rank #1 and the chair of my class), and 1st year high school, too! I felt like life always treat fairly well to people with good nature. She is leading a good working life here.

I like how she cheered me up with her unique bright laughters. :*) I as well thanked Eugene who bore me with occupying Wu Pei-Lin for such a nice stretch of Sunday afternoon.

Meeting Makibi

Yesterday was a blissful Saturday, breezy, sunny, typical CA good weather. I got Makibi's text message around noon. He happened to be at Stanford campus. We went out for a coffee at Peet's. :") Was my first try of soy latte, and it somehow has a thicker taste than the milk version. By the way, Makibi looks just opposite with his new near-sighted glasses and sunglasses on. :p It was pretty funny. He was totally a (nerdy) study-kind person with his near-sighted glasses on.

We chatted, and had a real in-depth talk about long-distance relationship. I will remember all the advice given by Makibi (exactly what TJ has told me). Knowing it is hard to begin with, things I should learn during the long-d relationship are more than I can imagine. Easier said than done.

I was so happy to meet him, knowing that he is doing good here at CA; He enjoys his work (has been working pretty hard), takes jazz piano lessons (practicing pretty hard), cooks, learning Chinese, and seeing Lisa, his girlfriend, every weekend. :) It's different from B'more life. He gets to learn, and gets to do things alone. However, people make most progress during these transition period. This is when we learn more about ourselves and become a better person. :)

Arriving at Stanford

今天開始騎了腳踏車行走校園,我不停地不停地迷路。花兩倍長的時間到達目的地。

微風吹過的感覺真好。

我過了一個有好多朋友陪伴的週末。可是啊,就算是這樣幸福的情況,我還是很想家。我跟Eleen說,"Thanks for spending your precious SF time shopping and moving with me. I feel bad." Eleen, "why feel bad. sa gwa". 吳培琳(&Eugene)也跑來陪我,帶我買了中國食品們,去逛Mountain View一個Art Festival喝咖啡 :)

Jaclyn & Tsui跟去年一模一樣,還是不停吵嘴讓我大笑。Gao的屁股都不見了,每天騎車上坡到位居半山腰的Great SF的家(Oxford 955)。

日子傻傻地過,一下子就會明年春天了。現在這樣想家想家的日子總會過去。
