end of an era!?
it has been a while since i last blogged…. many things happened but
everytime i wanted to write something here, nothing came out. I felt
dry. bored. passive. or just dry.
Today, though, I regained my energy. from the most unexpected place–
my job. April 30, 2007, marked an ending to my times at acsh. Friends
who heard me complained about the job knows that I couldn’t waiting for
this day to come, but i never anticipated such… sadness.
the watery morning coffee, the awkward conversations, the pushy print
salesmen, the annoying IT crisis, the cheap low pay…. all of these will no longer bother me, but i feel sad. unbelievable.
I can not imagine waking up in the morning not seeing these ppl that i
saw almost everyday for the past 2 years… Maybe because I felt like I
might not cross road with many of them ever again, and they will kinda
just disappear in my life. saying goodbye is hard when the goodbye
seems forever…
"I wish I had a son…" an elderly co-worker said to me. thanks… i’m very touched…. in a weird way.
The colorful city of new york gave me tribeca film festival, jazz,
experimental theaters, underground debates, and unbeatable art scenes.
Yet i still felt dry. nothing seems to move me as much as the moment i
walked out acsh. I finally know what this lovely city might be
lacking– things that touch my heart.
There is still so many things I want to do here, and i think the list
will always be long no matter how much time i have… because nyc
simply has too much to offer. but for now, I think i’m ready to move on
to a new era. oh wait, but first, let me go rest a little at a place
that can always touch my heart– home.

I’m not sure if that’s my first time writing a comment here. Nothing special, just not used to do that. But I feel like I really want to say something at this time. Congradulations not only for the grad school, but also for finding out the next step of your life and I know it’s gonna be awesome. I don’t really feel like myself an emotional type of person, but it’s just hard to say goodbye at this moment. Anyway, best wishes for your MBA life~

funny, my last day at my internship/part-time job in ny, the owner of the firm gave me a peck on the cheek and said to me, “if i was 30 years younger i’d marry you.”
