This has been an interesting start this year. I have finally met someone special, and... some friends I have known forever are going back to Taiwan...
I have known Mike since the first year I came to Canada, while homestaying in Burnaby, he lived just half a block away. He is a natural socialite, with excpetional skills in Street Fighter. Although we lost contact somewhere between high school and university. I have met him again at SFU, in the video arcade, playing Street Fighter. Then, we have been classmates, and twice co-workers. Thanks to him, I have joined TYPEABC, with some of the best experience after SFU. And he got married, and became a man.
I met Karen at SFU, we were at the SFU Taiwanese Assoication. We all knew that she is a very smart girl who is very nice to all her friends. She might not have had the best luck when it comes to first job, but she did find the best man she could find, Mike. I was pretty lucky to be one of her "buddie" at her bachelorette party. And I was honoured to MC their wedding. Maybe I should have embarrassed them more then I did.
Between Mike and Karen, I have known them for 25 years. Although they have decided to move back to Taiwan for better opportunities, I know I will run into them from time to time. And just like the old times we shared at their house parties, we will laugh some more. For now, let's wish them a wonderful journey and great future in Taiwan!!
