Thank you for appearing in my life. A person I known for 3.5 years (2006). Ever since college, I would consider myself pretty successful. Grown so much. However, there was always a missing pieces. A piece that I failed miserably back in 2001. Now she appears. Don't know why, can't explain why. But her existence filled in that piece. The last piece of my life. Made me realize many things I have long forgotten. I always thought I can only overcome failure by success, but now, I have overcame my past failure no matter if we will turn out right. With her existence, with the last missing piece filled in, I finally realize that I can achieve higher than I dreamed. Thank you for stepping into my life.

Jennifer~
Maybe, one of the best friend in life. Always always there. She was there when I was being nuts, punching the doors. She was there when I had major disaster in life. She was there whenever I'm faced with problem in relationship. Everyone has an ugly side of his/her personality and life. Me too. She's the only one so far that I can even share that ugliness with. Feel like she knows my life inside out, up side down. I know, even in the worst situation in life, she'll be there. She's truly a special friend to have.
21, single, living in NY, major in psychology. Anyone need a great girlfriend, here she is :P

Cyndi~
Met her when she was only 15. Thought she was just a kid. The more I know her, the more I realize I was wrong. She's 17 now (2006), with a lot dreams to accomplish. Goals in life, knowing what to do and what to expect for the future. Expectation in life, setting higher standard for herself than the people around her. Accomplishments in life, having won awards through designing and aiming for even higher accomplishments . Just realized that she's not a kid. The way of living, standards and expectation are all similar to mine. And yes, she's only 17 and have made a success doing what she loves. I didn't even know I had a life at age of 17.

Louis~
Someone I met in Indiana University. Know you since my second semester here. Helped me a whole lot in life. Never hesitate when anyone ask him for help. You have experienced a very different life from mine and have very different view on things. This might be the reason we talk so much and discuss pointless things all the time. Life would be bored without people like you around.

(2004) Haven't contact you ever since graduation from highschool. It's been almost 3 years from now. Don't know how much have changed between you and me. But I would be more than happy to seeing you anytime in the future. It's hard to find someone else as sophisticated as you are.
(2001) You're the first one in my list. Does that mean you take more portion of my life, my memory? Maybe, maybe not. However, you're there for 9 years. And now, the time is still moving. Maybe I should've known you more. Maybe I shouldn't make too many assumptions about you. But I do know that there's more in life then you've imagined. Maybe I'm weak, but I'm never afraid to look inside myself. Do you? Life has more components then you think. Building your theories in your own world does not apply to the infinite future.

Kent~
(2004) We don't really keep in close touch as we did in highschool do we? But for some reason, I think both of us understand that we're still here for each other. It's amazing how long and how much we know each other.
(2001) As you can see, I'm starting with people in elementary school. How's life? Do you need some "words of wisdom?" You're there since 1st grade. You left my mind for a period of time, but I got you back. Why didn't I fax to you between 7th and 8th grade? I don't know. Was I too busy adjusting to TAS life? That'll just be an excuse. So why? I guess I didn't realize the importance of memory. You finally got your chance to be back in Taiwan after 5 years. It's long. Now you've find all your "lost friends," don't let them go again. Am I your friend? I'm more than a friend.

William~
(2004) Still don't have a picture of you after 3 years. Rarely contact you. Maybe too much things changed between us. Maybe we need a time to catch up on each other.
(2001) I just realized that I don't have many pictures of you. Does it matter? Not really, I know what you look like, I know what you sound like. Life is more than love stories. Maybe I'm the one who's always falling into the trap. Are you ending up in the place you want? If no, just remember that life is long. You have the entire future to work things out. To find a life that you dreamed of.

Emer~
(2004) I'm glad we're still keeping in touch. For some reason, magic is not the greatest thing in life for you. It is for me. And I'm still really glad you pull me into this deep hole. I don't know where I'm going with this talent. But I'm sure it's going a long way.
(2001) I will always remember that day--the third day of school (A-day) during second period--you came to me with that red handkerchief. It is called "The Unbreakable Match." Is magic about entertaining people? You didn't fooled me with the trick, you didn't "entertained" me. What you've given me is a new future. I'll pursue my dream. I might not always be eager to learn more, but I'll never lose what I have. You're the person who took me into the world of imagination, the world of impossibility. I'm known as the magician. You'll always receive the credit for my achievements. Magic is about turning impossibility into reality. I'm still working on it. I'm reaching my dream--FISM2006!!

K-Ko~
(2004) Too much have been going on between us. Now I don't even want to take the effort calling you. Really want to maintain a good friendship with you, but it seems harder than anything else. Tried to call you several times, but always gave up the thought fearing something worse could happen. Going to get heart attack someday trying to call you. Hope something changes in the future between us.
(2001) Word after words, how many word does it take to express myself? How many sentences does it take to understand someone. How long will it take for me to know what's in your mind? Those words I put on letters, are phrases involving my deep thoughts, are sentences rehearsing continuously in my mind, are promises I'll never break. They'll always stand true, from the day they're put on paper, till the day my heart stops. Why do you like saying good-bye? Resembling the end? I don't believe in good-bye, because nothing fades forever. Memory will be updated, memory never dies. Within 24 hours, today will be history. So why can a day be important? Because memory lives. Do you plan for the future? Do you look forward to future? Futures is just an upcoming memory, but unlike memory, there're different chances for the future. Possibility is unlimited. Be confident about yourself K~? . Are we living separate lives as you said? Maybe, maybe not. Is distance that fatal for you? Do you ever know the meaning of AngelWings? Maybe it means more to me than to you. No matter where you are, where I go, no matter how our future distant from each other, we share the same memory.

Mr. Thomas~ (MRT)
The very first teacher that I actually admire. He's not old, but I do believe that he knows more about life than anyone else. The only person that've convinced me he knows about death. The first person whom I believe truly treasures his life. TAS might only be one of the schools. We might only be one of those students. But you'll always be the one teacher.

The tapestry of my life was neatly
woven--From Various cultures and
myriad languages spoken.
Happiness is the memories
Of hiking in snow so deep
you could lose yourself
And of watching your own breath
in the cold air of northern Quebec-
perched high on platforms built
in the trees-just to catch a
glimpse of a moose or a fox
crossing a frozen pond.
Happiness is the memories
Of salsa beat-of the conga, the
guiro and the marimba-awakening
the Latin passion for life and living
---expressed through dance---- >
Inspirational sound and
movements
which evoke a reverence for life,
freedom and a passion for living---
~All gifts of my cultural tapestry.
