A dedicated post.. Specially for my new friend..

Today, 6th April 2010, is a sad yet happy day for me.. I was suddenly told by one of my newly acquainted friend, Jasmine, that she will not be coming back here to Russia together with me after we go home for summer holidays.. But instead, she will head off to Ireland to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor that dedicates her life to helping people (unable to seek medical attention due to poverty).

I am indeed happy for her because Ireland is obviously a better place than Russia is, in terms of living standards, in terms of advancement in medical technology, in terms of lecturer education level.

Having said that, I am yet sad because as different as we maybe, as short as I know her ( 2nd week of acquaintance), I feel that we sort of "ngam key" (cantonese) and now she will be leaving.. I guess this is all part of life, like an accident along your road of life..

Bare in mind that this is not a farewell post for her, nor is this an expression of pure emo-ness.. It is the way I react to sudden situations..

During today's exceptionally long shower.. I tried to close my eyes and picture my life in 5 years' time.. I can't.. Perhaps, life is never meant to be foreseen.. never meant to be known before it happens.. Its funny how some very small things lead to another and then another and then the imagination just keeps going further and further..

Sincerely yours from Russia,
