JO'S JOY"Everyday, we do small things with great love." December 20 Goodbye & Hello Again.To all my dear friends who are continuing adventure in their life,
Life is short and time is precious. When we are taking the next step in our life, why not have a break and trace back a little bit. For us all who are working hard, carry on the past and break new ground for future. 18 months ago, when I met you in the orientation, you were young, excited and in high spirits. You know what, I felt quite uncertain as well when facing you all. You were sitting out there in that gloomy room, with expectation and excitement, which was the biggest enigma to approach, the highest peak to conquer. I was in awe absolutely, speaking to you calmly. Did you even sense that? HEHE~~ I am sorry to miss the 12 months when I was not by your side. That 12 months were full of struggle and suffer; you were wandering, asking and working together to survive and flourish. Caterpillars suffer a lot but the butterfly dream never perishes. It is one of my most cherished memories to be with you in the past 6 months. Just falling love with someone, I don't know why but I do enjoy the taste of being among you, with you and in you. We are talking, playing, sharing, laughing, shedding tear and growing up together. We look good together actually. At the Closing Ceremony, I proudly presented you the movie on which I poured out all my passion for you, for our good old days and for our unknown future. My movie ended but there is still a huge infinite waiting ahead, much longer movie which each of us will create. Be the author of our personal history! It is pretty good that nobody cried out at the ceremony since we firmly believe we will meet again. Smiling faces, the last and lasting images should be. Don't cry, friends, in any case. Go and get your life, with the hopes and dreams of coming to me someday, then let us say "Hello" again. All best, J. C.

Faith, hope, and love keep us alive. There is a child living in my heart who is forever 15. She is listening, waiting and making a wish.... Never grow old, never. On a cold night again, be with peace and joy, my friend.
Poem on "Post-Youth"
当烟雾随晨光飘散 枕畔的湖已风乾 期待已退化成等待 而我告别了突然 当泪痕勾勒成遗憾 回忆夸饰着伤感 逝水比喻时光荏苒 终於我们不再 为了生命狂欢 为爱情狂乱 然而青春彼岸 盛夏正要一天 一天一天的灿烂 (阿信口白： 然後呢一起走吧) 谁说不能让我 此生唯一自传 如同诗一般 无论多远未来 读来依然一字一句 一篇都灿烂 让天空解释着蔚蓝 浮云定义着洁白 落花铺陈一片红色地毯 迎接我们到未来 精彩未完的未来 October 13 Great Story for Thanksgiving Day. Thanks, Josephine!Ruth went to her mail box and there was only one letter. She picked it up and looked at it before opening, but then she looked at the envelope again. There was no stamp, no postmark, only her name and address. She read the letter: Dear Ruth: I`m going to be in your neighborhood Saturday afternoon and I'd like to stop by for a visit. Love Always, Jesus Her hands were shaking as she placed the letter on the table. 'Why would the Lord want to visit me? I'm nobody special. I don't have anything to offer.' With that thought, Ruth remembered her empty kitchen cabinets. 'Oh my goodness, I really don't have anything to offer. I'll have to run down to the store and buy something for dinner.' She reached for her purse and counted out its contents. Five dollars and forty cents. Well, I can get some bread and cold cuts, at least.' She threw on her coat and hurried out the door. Aloaf of French bread, a half-pound of sliced turkey, and a carton ofmilk...leaving Ruth with grand total twelve cents to last her untilMonday. Nonetheless, she felt good as she headed home, her meager offerings tucked under her arm. 'Hey lady, can you help us,lady?' Ruth had been so absorbed in her dinner plans, she hadn't even noticed two figures huddled in the alleyway. A man and a woman, both of them dressed in little more than rags. 'Look lady, I ain't got a job, ya know, and my wife and I have been living out here on the street, and, well, now it's getting cold and we're getting kinda hungry and, well, if you could help us. Lady, we'd really appreciate it.' Ruth looked at them both. They were dirty, they smelled bad and frankly, she was certain that they could get some kind of work if they really wanted to. 'Sir, I'd like to help you, but I'm a poor woman myself..All I have is a few cold cuts and some bread, and I'm having animportant guest for dinner tonight and I was planning on serving thatto Him.' 'Yeah, well, okay lady, I understand. Thanks anyway.' The man put his arm around the woman's shoulders, turned and headed back into the alley. As she watched them leave, Ruth felt a familiar twinge in her heart. 'Sir, wait!' The couple stopped and turned as she ran down the alley after them. 'Look, why don't you take this food. I'll figure out something else to serve my guest.' She handed the man her grocery bag. 'Thank you lady. Thank you very much!' 'Yes, thank you!' It was the man's wife, and Ruth could see now that she was shivering 'You know, I've got another coat at home. Here, why don't you take this one.' Ruth unbuttoned her jacket and slipped it over the woman's shoulders. Then smiling, she turned and walked back to the street...without her coat and with nothing to serve her guest. 'Thank you lady! Thank you very much!' Ruth was chilled by the time she reached her front door, and worried too. The Lord was coming to visit and she didn't have anything to offer Him. She fumbled through her purse for the door key. But as she did, she noticed another envelope in her mailbox. 'That's odd. The mailman doesn't usually come twice in one day.' Dear Ruth: It was so good to see you again. Thank you for the lovely meal. And thank you, too, for the beautiful coat. Love Always, Jesus The air was still cold, but even without her coat, Ruth no longer noticed. August 26 被點名了～～
December 03 I am back.It has been a long time since I updated my blog a few month ago. I like idling on friends' blogs secretly, not writing any notes. No footprint but keeping in touch. I am done with my paper and defense. Everything is finished strong, I hope. HEHE. Thanks for the awesome guys and girls who always watch over me. ^_^
I am approaching to the finishing line and have to face a lot of new things, saying goodbye to good friends, saying hello to new people and staying warm. When the life is coming to a crossroad, I become exicted. I cannot fall asleep once I realize that I have to make many decisions now. It is quite tough to make decision if i am not sure which is the right choice. Life seems like a gambling.
It is 7:42 am in Vancouver. I was writing my paper overnight again. It is almost finished. Is that the last paper in my life?! ^_^
I find it is hard to express what I am thinking now. I feel happy + sad, that is, sappy. I like that word.
My hometown, I haven't been there for one year and a half.
