“Are you coming tonight?” I asked. I have always been asking you the same question, because I am afraid you would get bored somehow at home. I have prepared so many events for your selection. I remember you told me that, you loved playing chess when you were in high school, and you were in the competition with a lot of Masters during your young age. I was impressed when we were playing games on chess.com and your tactics were splendid when you could always beat me in a few moves. I joined our chess club of our school and signed up to become...
Everyone thought I was an extrovert. Since the day I was born, I was the loudest baby in the house. I had two older brothers who gave me all their love and everything they had. I am the youngest baby in the family, and also the youngest in my generation, therefore I had all the love I could possibly have. I have a very big family, therefore every special occasion, I could get a lot of presents from my relatives and a lot of celebration. It was always happy moments in my childhood. However, as the more interactions with people, I gradually re...
I am a genetic introvert. I have always been very quiet both at home and in school. You are a genetic extrovert who were always so outstanding and loved at home and in school. I am always jealous about you being so well-rounded and full of friends. Do you remember those moments, you and me were in the community centre, you were ice skating on the ground and I was so timid in sliding the ice. You were always a star on the ice, like the ice skate Scott, you could always catch all the attention of the audience. I was lucky enough to always hav...
I have always wanted to stay at home alone. I want my private life in which I can be as savage as I want to be, private bathroom where I can do any weird makeups without anyone to laugh at them, private kitchen where I can bake, cook and steam any cuisines I want without being yell at wasting ingredients, private television which I can change channels all by my wish, and private backyard where I can sing out loud with my bird friends and plants. What a wonderful world. I was not always an introvert. When I was born, I was the happiest baby...
Do you know, you are the most beautiful creature God has ever created? Your existence is phenomenal and no one could ever be comparable to you in anyway. Remember those times we were on a date, when we were laughing on the table, those envious women were looking at us, or you, with jealousy in their eyes. Those waitresses were so nice to you and always came by and pouring for us. I often wonder if they just want to see your beautiful face once more. At the end of each dining, they often had a very reluctant face on them and stared at you. Th...

I am looking for a sign. A sign could guide me through the darkest moment of my life, the deepest valley of the mountain and the most mysterious ocean where I had drowned. I am looking for a sign. A sign could lead me through the mist, through the jungle of mazes, through the foggy forest, through the most furious thunders and storms. I am looking for a sign. A sign could show me the path of hopes and dreams, the beautiful marbles on my journey, the toughest weeds and wildflowers grow on my way to my legacy. I am looking for a sign. A sign...
I thought I was seeing things. I saw an Angel, who came into my sight, when I was at the bottom of the valley, while feeling defeated and failed. He is so beautiful and gorgeous, merciful, and kind, a non-humankind. Do you remember those moments, when we were on the boat that you made, your favourite toy, on the lake where we met, with the witness of ducks and geese, under a sky that matches your beautiful blue eyes, we were whispering to each other, giggling along with hummingbirds and beetles. In the waves of water and breeze, your scent...
I have always been a dreamer. I dream days and nights, regardless when and what about the dreams. I feel like wandering my mind in the air, among the galaxy, among the twinkling stars and among the aroma of yours. I like swimming in the ocean of your creation, drowning myself in the miraculous world you had created for the blessings of the human race, surfing in the wondrous miracles with the hands of our Father Almighty. You are an Angel of mine. I used to have a dream, dreaming of you running in garden with me, it is our Edenic garden whe...
There you are, this gorgeous Man smiling at the camera in front of him, when he was taking this picture at his age of 18 when he joined the Army. He looked confident and courageous, and you are still who you are fifty years later. There is just a date at the back of the photo, “1956/04/12”. This day is the day you proudly graduated from high school and joined the rebuilding of the country. This day is the glorious day for a rising star to shine. This day is the day marked the growing up of a giant. This day is the capture of a magnificent Ma...
As a military soldier, you told me, you always imagine yourself as a watch, that doesn’t have any direction but forward. As a soldier, it would be life-threatening to go backward or just to stay. This applies to our lives, forward is always the only direction. Then I started noticing that, your philosophy applies basically everything, and can serve as an explanation to any problem. When people say they are sad or feeling down, if you asked them why, they would most likely tell you about their guilt or sorrow about what they have done in the...

Thinking of human nature, the first thing comes into my mind is the benevolence you always have in your genes. I often think of you as a beautiful smiling sunflower, you often brighten up my day with your optimistic character and positive attitude towards life. Not only your colors that are so shining and brilliant, but also your aromatic floral scents, your yellow and fleshy petals and your strong stalk that supports as your backbone, all beautiful virtues are fully demonstrated in your single body. In the background of clear sky, the yell...
I would always love to talk about my childhood. Even though my most admired friend who is a soldier, he always tells me that I should always keep looking forward instead of backward, because according to his experience, people who are stuck in the past gets PTSD and some other mental health problems. His optimistic soldier mind tells him that, the only direction in life is forward. But I still want to talk a little bit about my childhood. I was born in a small village in China, which is a socialist country with a big land and many su...
I can only think of a person who has an unassailable moral compass, that must be you, and can only be you. You are an infantry soldier, who was tough enough to go through intelligent trainings and always keep looking forward to go to a higher rank in the military, and you succeeded, by becoming a military officer, who has the courage and empathy to lead and coach platoons to fight with enemies. You are a humble teacher, who dedicated his career in guiding and coaching peers or juniors to march forward and toward their dreams. You became a ...
Today is no ordinary day, but a day I was sent to a boarding school, far away from where I was born and raised. At this young age, I was scared, and I missed my parents. I missed the girly barbies, I missed Lucy, my lovely Shepperd dog, I missed my nanny, my childhood friends, my favourite piano, violin, and my ukulele. I missed the wonderful kitchen where there are so many food I could eat, I miss the mango tree in the front yard of my house where I can taste the most juicy mangos. All of a sudden, I was sent to this institution, where al...
