Dear friend,
I barely think of the past now but it would be great to recall the best moments of my life.
When I was little, what I loved to do most were wandering around the neighborhood and playing with other kids. We were innocent, happy, and carefree back then. In the summer I would visit my hometown. It was so enjoyable and peaceful to walk in the evergreen paddy fields or lay my head on the ground to stare at the sky guessing what shape the clouds made. But it was most beautiful after the sunset. I used to walk along the path and have a talk with my cousin sister. Even now when I close my eyes, I can still feel as if the cold fresh breeze was blowing gently through my hair, and I could never forget the stars shining like diamonds in the dark. Whenever I felt sad, I would look up and make a wish. Most of my wishes have not come true, but I believe God has other plans instead.
My secondary school time was also great but I had to study a lot. There were so many first times. The first time I received a love letter, the first time I was in a relationship and the first time I became more serious about my future. I studied even harder and love was something I didn't allow myself to fall for. I finally could enter a good high school and had a group of close friends to be with until now. Skip this part to my university life. It was mostly about work (I used to have lots of part-time jobs), not really fun but I started to see faces of reality.
Since my English was pretty good, a relative wanted to help me to study abroad. That's why I learned how to drive. On my graduation day, I threw the hat and spun around with the best smile I could ever have in my bachelor's clothes. I imagined my future in another country, a new start. I wanted to forget everything about my past. It didn't happen. It was the worst time of my life but leaving university was a milestone to remember. I would be no longer sitting and listening to teachers or doing assignments. I would be an adult with responsibilities.
I love the sea. I will travel one or two times a year to somewhere rural to keep myself away from the busy and hectic life, to take a breather and to refresh before coming back to work. I also have some abroad trips. I first saw the most breathtaking fireworks display on Singapore's Independence day. I had never seen that in my country because I wasn't interested. I will always keep that moment somewhere in my heart. I also made another wish under that beautiful sky. Never know if it will be true or not...
