Oldies

I was cleaning out my laptop and found some old pictures... oh, souvenir, souvenir. I am a nostalgical person, these pictures present a moment of my life, and I think they worth a post...

In these pictures, I was (18 or 19?), was back in China for holidays... the city you see is not Shanghai, it is Hang Zhou, my favorite city (yes, more than Shanghai, my mother town) for its history and culture. I would like to buy a house by the West Lake (西湖)  if one day I can afford... listen to the sound of the rain, tasting a pot of hot Longjing tea and read all the beautiful or sad stories took place there....

I must be around 21 in the pictures...just moved into my ancient flat (on the boulevard Général Jacques) and playing around to take pictures with a girlfriend.... haha, I almost forgot that I had shorter hair!

My dear Dad saw me off at the airport... he offered me the chance to come study in Belgium and he is ready to give me the whole World... <3 you Dad, even I have never said that....

These pictures were taken in 2008(?), with my lovely Chinese class, celebrating Chinese New Year in the restaurant Cité du Dragon... I miss all of you and you were one of my favorite classes definitely! Hope all you guys are doing well and enjoy life!

I took these pictures of J.O. on the first day I got her from the shelter... she had a haircut (well, shaved is more suitable!) on our way home, she was so dirty since she had lived in the street, when I saw her in the shelter, she was the dirtiest baby ever, she had bubblegum on her hair, poor thing... she was so happy to find a new home and fell asleep almost immediately when we got home... you are one of the best things I have in life...

My vistit in Amsterdam in 2008, it was wonderful, the city, the weather, all the visits to the museums... think I will go back soon.

I heard this old song on the radio this morning on my way to work...I had litterally tears in my eyes. Such a beautiful song after so many years....

Enjoy xxx
