Another sad day-People come and go

Amazing, you always can find sth to write every a couple of days.

When HLC told me he was selling his car, i was sort of confused. when I heard he said this time he backs for good, my tears immediately dropped. (i am so quick to cry, it was entirely unexpected)

No one covers me at Asia Society, no one sits as a cushion between me and either a weird Indian Photographer, or a 3-ex-wife, 6 kids HK origin lawyer). One less person I can talk and complain in this city.

For the entire 3 years here, he is the person always willing to listen, (although sometimes I coubt if he can help or add more value). Like a father, like uncle, elder brother, a friend.

not understand why he did not tell me earlier. Now he has to leave on Sat. He said he thought I knew it earlier on. Otherwise I can spend more time with him these days. His decidion was made mid of the year. No wonder he did not show up as often as before, I felt strange sometime, and still thought he backs for another new year vacation this time.

If I cry like this, who knows what will happen if I have to leave here, leave all the friends.

he received a call and arranged for lunch appointment, saying: ok, I will bring my girlfriend... someone you have not seen...

Rememebr the Yi Xiang Yuan owner asked me once, where is your chinese friend, that tall guy... I don't really realise who he talks about :-)

If independent means all the people you can rely on move on and leave you alone, I got to think the choice that I want to be independent or not. It is just SWEET that you can find someone to talk to and totally trust.

Give him a big hug (we are never the kiss type) and promise him I will be fine. i don't want to stand there alone and see him leaving. better get into the library. otherwise i will cry again. I need to move on after 2 weeks and to take care of my brother. my life become stable compared to 1 year ago. if he left at that time, it might be more sad to me.

people come and go in this city. they jsut have to move on. Like he said, if he keeps on this (promise to work for government), it will be on and on and on. he will be too old to travel around. my life goes on too, sad though. need to fly to SNG and see him for a cup of tea :-)
the tea time becomes so precious.

just another sad day for me.

what shall I bring to him as gift next time?
