have just finished reading my old-buddy s diary. we have known each other for 10 yrs. though her diaries, I can tell her growth, her changes and she has become matured.

I really dont know whether it is good to her. Maybe i would like to say a 'NO'. As we grow up, we need to pay a lot, esp. tears, loss of dreams.

As time goes by, self-reflections are really important to us. Reading diaries of my buddies, is a good way for me to foresee some of the problems i will encounter later. it is an alternative way to self-reflection.

I have learnt a lot during the time I lived in my foster mother;s house, esp though the relationship between her daughter and her. It is a mirror to me, to let me think about my mother-daughter relationship with my own mother.

I always like to tell people that I like watching hongkong tv shows as i can learn indirect life experiences. Now, my life with the family is more direct. It produces a greater impact than any other of the shows.

Suddently realised that it is my 1st time to stay with a family for so long. From mid-feb until late-jul, it will be almost half a year. I can see, smell , touch and feel a lot in this family. It is not new to me, but, life here is new to me.

Growth and pains, just like rights and obligations, they always walk together!
