Anniversaries

This March is loaded with anniversaries.

5th March: I have been in Singapore for totally four months, which is a SEASON in China----I have just crossed the border between winter and spring.
11 March: I finished my Pitman level 5 English test organised by Cambridge City Committe exactlly one year before and soon plunged into the bustle and hustle of preparation for the graduation examination.
14 March: My father's 45th birthday,~~~It will be an incomplete one because of the absence of me and my sister.
15 March:Exactly one year ago, I began to push aside the graduation examination and laid my hands on the preparation for the entrance examination organised by Singapore Ministry of Education.

Anniversaries add this month with a shroud of nostalgia. Those feelings which have been driven away from my heart a few weeks ago once again began to occupy my mind. What would the life be like if I did not change my direction and continue to rotate on my original orbit? What is my life like in THEIR eyes? UTOPIA?

"Life is not always a barrel of laughs",my father cautioned me just four months ago,"when I was away from home in my youthhood, the first one or two weeks were endurable, but after one or two months, homesickness will lead you into an interminable torture of mind." " Is it really so?" I doubted his assumption with a grimace. But it is proved that I lapsed into a mistake just at that moment, I underestimated what was for me to confront.

Now a season has passed. Time ticked by with utmost serenity and composure, although inside my mind thoughts churned like torrents of a sea before the storm. I have to admit that I am stronger than my father, because I never let that sense of homesickness deter my way of heading forwards.

Because I clearly know that they have missed us much more than I have missed them~~~
Because I bear in mind their love and transform it into the most effective motivates~~~
Because we have a promise, unbreakable promise~~~

Daddy, tomorrow is your birthday, Happy Birthday to you and wait for my call.
(Although I know he cannot read English, I am sure he and the whole family have perceived my love for them. )

Anniversaries are a reminder of the time passed.

Anniversaries are for us to commemorate, for us to relook at the long long way which we have left our footprints on~~~
