It's good to be home and it's Chinese New Year! I'm always excited when we get to visit to relatives' house and get many ang paus, when my cousins came back to visit us because out grandma stays here and when gathering with friends. Moreover, a few of my friends and relatives came back from overseas this time, it's good to see them too. :)
There's someone I wanted to see but don't get to see as he was at a far far away land now. Well, I quite enjoy my new year though, I got to meet up with friends at a few gathering and went for dinners with my families. Still, there's something stuck in me and I think it's about him.
When I told my old friends or my cousin about him, one thing they asked: "Is China people reliable?"
I know they mean no harm but then, I don't have a definite answer. My view is that, not everyone is the same and I'm not that type of people who is stereotype. Don't judge things by its appearance. When you see people from their behaviour, it might turn you off. Before I got to approach to these Chinese people, although I don't have any bad thinking about them, but I don't like smokers and a lot of them smoke. I don't discriminate them though because it's not something that I can change. After I got to know them, I think they're quite friendly and some of them have good characters, basically I think they are more gentleman than local guys (no offence). It's just like when you get to know some new friends, after some time you'll be able to distinguish each of their characters and then you know the good and the bad. It's not about the nationality, it's about who he is.
It's too general if someone says "China people is not reliable". You cannot judge them just because they like to drink and smoke and party always. Not only China people, many other foreign students who came to study here are almost the same. I think many of our local people did smoke and drink at my age but yet, how many of them smoke secretly because they're afraid to let their parents to know. "I don't like the smell of smoke" is more precise compare to "I don't like smokers" because my friends smoke and he smokes too! I did accompanied my friends at late night when they're down and feel like smoking at a place where their parents or friends can't see, just that I don't smoke together with them and I don't encourage them to smoke too.
He is not just anyone whom I just met yesterday. He is a friend, a special one who I feel like to share everything with. He is someone I knew for months and chatted everyday, somehow our friendship developed very fast and we became so close to each other. When you meet someone like this, you won't mind any of his/her flaws because they seems so tiny and I believe that things change in time. People change.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.
I believe in him. There's a risk for me believing in him because I might get disappointed in the end. But if I don't, I won't get to know how splendid my life can be or I shall miss the one who is destined for me? I won't be able to find out if we're meant for each other. Yes, I know it sounds a bit blind but life it's not complete with this risk called love. I have nothing to lose and thus, I accept this challenge.
If someone ask me the same question again, this will be my answer.
