Dear Joan,
Nice to read your words here:) My friend asked me the other day that what's the most difficult problem you'v met ever since you came to New Zealand...After pondering for a while, I said..homesick, hehe...
Even though I came to Wellington all by myself, I am lucky to meet a bunch of cherished new friends here...I am not lonely and able to adapt myself to the new environment very soon. I think I have to thank my mum, who held back my application for studying abroad when I got my bachelor degree..that's four years ago. She ecouraged me to find a job in Xiamen(my hometown)...I was not very happy with her decision at that time, but I did as what she said. After three years of working, I wanna make a change in my life...my mum agreed..and she said:" If you still wanna go abroad, I can let you go now..coz you are much more mature than three years ago..I think you are quite independent to look after yourself.." For some reasons, I choose Wellington, New Zealand as my destination..and my experience here has proved that my mum's decision is wise. I didn't feel very excited as I expected when I got the Visa. It seems eveything happens so naturally. Wellingtion is Xiamen's twinned city. They have many things in common..I came to love this city at the first sight. Due to my previous working experience, I am accepted by an outsourcing company. The working place is at city council. It's definitely a good working environment, which provides me with a direct insight to know KIWI culture. I treasure it, and under 15 hours entitlement of part time work per week, I can still manage my study very well.
Well...I did cry sometimes..especially in the first month when I came here..but I never cried over the phone coz I don't want my parents to worry about me. I was tearing when I got my friends' emails...just couldn't help...
Time flies that it's nearly one year since I came to WGTN...I have learnt so much from my new life here..and I am becoming not only independent but tough...Two of my dearest friends passed away in the past few months..it's in less than one year...and one of them is my boy friend, who left me last Sunday...
Last sunday night was like ages for me...Kevin(my boyfriend) was in the States and we were meant to get married at the end of this year. In order to rescue a liitle girl who was crossing the road, Kevin met with a car accident...Due to his rare blood type, he was sentenced to brain death very soon after he was sent to emergency. His doctor was about to issue the certificate of death last Thur, but his mum insisted that they wait for another few days, because she was believing there're miracles. She went to her church to pray for his son,and I also prayed in tongues when I got the shocking news..Four days later, Kevin was incredibly unbelievable to have consciousness...His voice was so weak, but I could feel what he was saying over the phone..I nearly cried my heart out. He told me he saw God during his coma...As a christian, I think there's a paradise for him..a land full of happiness. I don't want him to suffer any pain..his words make me rest my heart. Even though God took him away finally, He did give me miracles. It's a pity I couldn't be able to hold his hands till his life ends, but we will be together again in the future..
Seven years passed by..he left me thousands of beautiful memories..he is always in my mind. Since I didn't see him leaving with my own eyes, it seems he is still besides me. He always say he is the only person who doubled my happiness, and half my sadness..Yes, he is...he is the only one i can put my heart into his hands and never fear...I think I will be fine..time will cure something...
There'r different seasons in a person's life..sorrow comes and go..right?
