My Summer of Love

Summer is always a good time for me. It always means swimming, ice cream, vacation, travelling n some slight little crush ;) My exchange in S'pore gave me a summer of 8 months last year, and that was one of the happiest times in my life. Another happiest time was 3 yrs ago with SD.

This summer, no vacation, no travelling (coz I travelled too much in spring...), not much time for pool, can't get ice cream wheneer I want coz I'm stuck in office. Crushable moments? Sth happened lately almost ruined the summer. N I'm being quite depressed these days.

I spent the whole day research on one of the segments I;m looking into recently. However, I somehow could only find very fragmented info and was not able to make up a big picture. It was about time to go back home, but I still wasn't able 2 finish the report. Although, after brief the Senior Associate, he thought my findings were quite useful, and was ok with the draft, yet I walked the office feeling sth missing n just missed the bus and have to wait another couple of mins...

On my way back, I couldn't help but think negatively about this summer and about myself. I got off the bus, got on the other bus which would finally take me home, n was a bit annoyed how troublesome this bus thing is, then I found myself standing in front of an 1-yr-old baby n his grandpa.

The carefree baby can't understand what is going on in my mind. He was stretching his grandpa's face in all directions. It was funny. I wasn't that unhappy after all, so I smiled. The baby saw my smile n he smiled. And the grandpa smile. And the bus stopped at my stop. I got home faster then eepected, opened the door n saw the nice dishes my parents prepared.

Later, I got a msg from a frd I hvn't talked to for months. But her msg brought me back to the last supper we had in DeliFrance, HK. She wasn't a very close friend, but hang out with her is always delightful. And it always makes me smile to get know that sb. is thinking of me.

"I hope u still remember me haha :DHow r u doing in US? Beijing Olimpic is soooo exciting!!! The opening ceremony of the Olimpic was great!!!!!!I'll be working at Singapore Embassy in Korea soon.The words 'Singapore' and 'Beijing Olimpic' (i know u r from Shanghai though) remind me you and make me miss u a lot :) Keep in touch!"

Joe will b here next week. N he said he wanted 2 spend more time with me. Almost only 2 weeks left for this summer. I should just seize the time n enjoy this summer of luv of mine.
