Here I Am
Love riding around “the horn” (UBC via Point Grey) on my hybrid bicycle, flying fast down Northwest Marine Drive to the Spanish Bank, stopping at Beyond Bread for fresh baguettes and coffee, following the seawall back to Main Street, the feeling you get when you return home tired from a 40 kilometer ride.
Loved my old-style racing frame, but now prefer livelier aluminum. Loved taking my kids for a ride on the back of my bike, but now they ride their own.
Look at life as a ride full of potholes and bumps; know that smooth roads are the exception.

HERE I AM
Love enjoying rain’s freshness on fall’s first day, smelling the first snow in winter (the second one’s too much), hoping and longing for spring’s first flower in our park, waiting for months for the first day of vacation, the feeling you get when time is not important anymore.
Loved spending summers by the seaside with my family, but now only my father is alive. Loved daydreaming about time-travel, but today I realized that only the present is important.
Looked at life as a spiral circle; know that life even though the same every day bring changes.

Love enjoying a cup of fresh coffee on the balcony, picking fresh tomatoes in the front yard (with a fear of spiders), reading a fascinating story in a park, walking along the Fraser River after a meal, the feeling that happy is an attitude and a well lived life is our goal.
Loved leaning on my parents’shoulders, but they becoming weaker while I am getting stronger. Loved travelling around the world, but I could not get a chance to accomplish the dream.
Look at life as a cup of rich tea; taste bitter for the first sip but feel multi-flavors when we went through a lot.

Here I am
Love walking down the path beside trees, treading on the dried autumn leaves, listening to footsteps (with rustling sound) , looking at far mountains standing in front of me, the feeling you get when life is easy and simple.
Loved dinning with mom and dad on holidays or family union days, but it’s just too far to be back. Loved talking on the phone with friends all night long, but we are so busy with our families.
Look life as arrows, go directly to the end; we will never have any chance to live the same lives again.

Look at life as a Ferris Wheel, sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down.

Here I Am
Love reminding me in each depth of night, telling me that I am from the long distance orient and over the pacific ocean to the west, beginning a new life in a fresh and peaceful place, experiencing and enjoying different color and culture, the feeling you get when you go away your original land.
Loved being cared by my grandmother, but now she is staring at me from heaven . Loved playing innocently with my inner girlfriends, but now we are innocents’ mother.
Look at life as a kitchen, we have to taste different flavours no matter you would like or not.

Here I am
Love reading stories after a long day of journey, having snuggles, wiggles and wriggles in the cool breeze of the night, tucking in (just right in bed), under covers, feeling the audience expectations of the strike of the story. The feeling you get when you return home safe.
Loved having parties with my friends on Saturday night, but enjoy other pages in my life. Loved having princess tea parties with my older sister, but she is gone now.
Look at life as a roller coaster, scream, laugh, cry, look forward and enjoy the ride.

Here I Am
Love taking the first kiss with my baby-girl when she wakes up every morning, holding her hands to toddle on the meadow, feeding her anything she likes (less salt and less oil), whispering with her even I can’t understand what she is speaking, the feeling you get when you stroll in a warm sunny garden.
Loved living in my hometown, but it is smoggy year-around. Loved hard-working like what I did, but it is difficult to find a similar job indeed.
Look at life as a marathon, you don’t know if you win or lose until you reach the end.
