I thought I lost my blog but I didn't

which is good ;)

anyway just came back from a walk, the weather was so nice outside- absolutely perfect, sunny, not too hot and not windy at all.

On our way home we happen to see our neighbour Leo's dad working in the garden, started a broken conversation in Mandarin, the problem was I couldn't quite understand what he was talking about at times! I resolve to work on my mando skills, 3 years of study at uni has helped built a foundation but I'm far off from fluent and I hardly speak because there's no one to speak to.

Found out from the conversation that Leo's dad has closed his factory in China already which means that he has totally retired from work. He's going to spend more time in Australia now, so he asked us to keep in closer contact with them.

Anyway don't know why I'm sharing this, but he's a really really kind man. When we were kids we used to go over to Leo's place to play his SNES (we didnt' have any sort of entertainment back then) and he would even take us out for dinner on occassion. He used to play mahjong a lot, I had no idea how to play back then (what a waste) and I remember one time we sorta watched them play. lol

anyway, thanks guys for the previous comments, lol...someone at camp said that I was 'a nice guy who liked to help', I didnt' take offence about it, but it got me thinking that that is the image I project of myself. Not that its a bad image, but I thought that that was an image which was kind of superficial in a sense. I guess what I'm saying is that I've always been yearning for 'deeper relationships'.
