Haa... 21st birthday

First of all, a very Happy Birthday to Julia who is 21-year-old today!


So far, i had went to two 21st birthday parties in less than two months time and I am predicting that there will be more coming up in the next one or two years. It's like a prelude to all the wedding dinners you will have to attend in a few years time . Then it would be the 满月酒 and so on. Life sure has many phases. How interesting!

老师的鼓励

刚和胡老师通过电话。
今早给她发了教师节的简讯。
她稍后来电但我在上课，唯有再发简讯，告诉她我上完课后再和她联络。
接近晚上九点，我尝试联络她，但没人接电。
大概在十一点十五分左右，胡老师来电了。


她说看到了那篇刊登在副刊的作品，不知道是不是我的。
“不知道那是我的静芳吗？”
“和你之前的文笔很不一样。”
“我们都觉得很有文采。”
“很有味道。”
“和你在初院写的文章很不同。”
“这就是最好的教师节礼物。”
“很好，要继续努力。”


谢谢您，胡老师！
除了您和另一位小学的华文老师外，就没有老师鼓励我创作了。
