On the Third Night of a Chinese New Year

I probably should be in bed, asleep, right now since I have to go to work tomorrow morning, and it's probably gonna be a long day. But I feel compelled to write something to capture this feeling, knowing that gladness, thankfulness and fulfillment are such temporary emotions that can be easily evaporated.

Not that I didn't know doing something that I don't want to do or just anything at all eventually gives way to treasures that are quite unexpected; its just that I forget sometimes. I went to dinner somewhat grudgingly with some of my parents' friends. In short, I had a good experience. First of all, Annie, a childhood friend unexpectedly (!) came back to Hong Kong and will be staying until August. I am going to have a friend here!!! So is Edward, but of course, that's a different story, considering he's my boss' son. But one way or another, I have friends here now!

Later that night, one of my parents' friends talked to Annie and me about his adventures abroad. One of them is a business venture to Croatia that aims not only to profit from the business, but also to improve the livelihood of Eastern Europe as a region, a bloc. In short, he also offered me a position to his current business as an "editor" to his English material (he owns a publishing house). I am guessing that he is also keeping me in mind for his business venture. The cool thing is that he's so awesome to talk to because he knows so much about traveling! I love it! And he's so open-minded! I would love to have a guide like him -- at least for the time-being.

New friend, new part-time job, new reference -- it's like a whole beginning to a new life!

Happiness evaporates all too easily and quickly. I am going to indulge in being happy right now.
