Random Thoughts

My roommate moved to a different city, and now I have the place for myself. This is a quite night, and suddenly have a feeling to write something down.

My roommate has the same last name as me. He has been to Canada for more than 5 years. Like most immigrants, his journey is a mixture of different tastes, but he always kept his attitude and had a kind heart.

He is a good cook, and enjoying it. Everyday, he can make a banquet for himself. I remember before we moved together, he used to invite me and another friend to his place for dinner, and within a few minutes, he can produce something delicious. For a lazy cook like me, he becomes a great inspiration, and I learned a few dishes from him. These skills will probably benefit me in many years to come.

He loves playing badminton. Him and another friend of mine are badminton fans, and that's how we met and knew each other, but compare to them, I am not as dedicated. Too many things distract me from playing it every week, but they always kept their schedule.

He also has a kind heart and like to help people in trouble. I remember when another friend of mine had a family emergency, my roommate gave him a check with considerable amount.

His girlfriend lives in another country. They haven't seen each other for 5 years, but they exchanges phone calls everyday: a classic love story.

Now, he is working in a different city, and I hope everything will be the best for him.

Fenghua Salon: today, Fenghua Salon's application for recognition by UofT has been approved. A great news! Without noticing, I have been involved in this organization for more than 2 years. I found it a wonderful place with intriguing and kind people. The original Fenghua Salon was founded by Steven Xiao, a northern Chinese with a great sense of humor and dedication. Although a few of us helped, he is still the determining factor for it to happen. He set a good example on making things happen with dedication. Later, with the contribution of many other volunteers, Fenghua Salon now has more than 300 members. With the approval of Fenghua Salon @ UofT, we can now rent rooms and equipments for organizing more interesting events. It will be 'fun' to bring more fun to our community.

It's interesting to find out that someone else uses the word sszhao, and that site is indeed quite interesting.
