  • This week I received a LOT of love from friends. As I had a final on Tuesday and two presentations plus a group paper due on Friday, I was quite clouded by school and didn't have time to talk or "chill" with friends.  Despite of that, I received numerous text messages that encouraged me to move forward and continue persevering through the "dark ages" as I'd like to call it.  As a matter of fact, one of the most encouraging and caring phone calls that came through to me this week was from Billy, my friend and ex-coworker whom I didn't talk to for the last couple of months.  Originally he tried to reach me by cell-phone, but since I didn't pick up his call (meanie me, when I saw him on my call display I chose to ignore it because I wanted to work on my paper =___="), he called me again at home and made his point across that I could always rely on him to take care of my mom for  transportation during the time period that I am gone in Sweden. I thought it was quite sweet of him to do that, as he already has a lot on hand to take care of but he's still willing to take care of my mom. 

    And then there was the house move last week.  In addition to the HUGE help that I received from Wendy, I also received help from Wendy's friend, Leon, and Danny, both of who helped me with the desk building and unpacking of items.  Without them, my house would still be a mess as I would have no bed to sleep in and one less bathroom because it would be stuck with a bed and mattress. 

    Then today I received a surprise party .  Coleen and Leo set up a farewell / early birthday dinner for me at Onyx Steakhouse, and I really enjoyed being accompanied by ten of my friends: Coleen, Leo, Kelvin, Peter, Samuel, Wendy C, Wendy H, Karolin, Sung Yan, Sheila, and Gabriel.  As a present they all chipped in to the purchase of a Sony LED digital photo frame for me, and inside, they added pictures of me with every single one of them or as a group (something that I really love because I think its conventional) .  Now I'll have something to put on my desk in the new home awaiting for me in Sweden =].

      

    Thank you ;]
