My Blogs

I went back home two weeks ago. Before I left home for the airport, my mum suddenly hugged me and told me that she loved me very much. I was a little shocked, because she is a traditional Chinese woman, and in the past, it was always me, who was once a wayward daughter in her eyes, that would do this to her.

I have been away from home since high school...that was a very long time ago. Over the years, I called and went back home regularly but I hardly told my mum about my personal life, especially the lows and bad days. I do not want her to worry and besides, I am not used to sharing about my personal life and inner most feelings to others. She is normally the last to know…after the problem has already passed and when I could tell like telling someone else’s stories.

That somehow made her feel sad and sorry that I went through everything alone and that she could do nothing about it. The more loveable I am, the more distressed she is that I work so hard and I am still alone. For her, the real happiness for a woman and for her dear daughter is to have a decent and caring husband and lovely kids around.

Her sentiment made me feel sorry too, sorry for not talking and sharing enough with her and not doing enough to make her understand me a little more.

Well, I can’t change overnight and I am still not good at telling....I have been hesitating about creating a personal blog for some time and now I decided to do it. (Only hope that time allows and I can persist! ) For my mum, brothers and sisters, the princes and princesses (my nieces and nephews) who adore and admire me so much and are inquisitive about my traveling experience and interesting encounters... hope they can know a little more about me and my life through this blog.

Likewise, as time passes and before my memory varnishes, I wish to recollect and record down the people, wonderful places, interesting experiences, beautiful moments, my thoughts and true feelings etc. in my life. I am also learning to be a little more open and feel more comfortable to share deeper feelings. Last but not least, I want to practice and improve my English!

If you are lucky enough to discover my blog, I hope you enjoy the reading journey!
