hi... richard~!
how's everything?
here in korea.. it had been so cold.. the thermometer stayed minus
degrees
for about two weeks..
but since last weekend.. it's getting warmer...
i got both of your mails..
your drawings were intriguing as always...
i loved the images of gloomy scenes of industrial area..
it sounds a little weird but i sometimes miss the old areas of
vancouver..
and.. i have something to ask you..
is the flower chrysanthemum that the girl in 'Meditations at a Curbside
Oasis' is holding?
in korea.. people usually bring white chrysanthemum.. to a funeral..
maybe.. what makes me think in that way is different cultural
background..
and Amber in the photo was so CUTE!!!!
no one can help loving her.. to see the photo.. i bet..
her drawing is getting better.. and more imaginative..
please let me know her website.. next time..
i want to say hi to her..
the first month of the year of the rooster is almost gone..
i think time flies so fast.. especially.. these days..
my new year's resolution is simple.. it is doing my best in every
moment of
my life...
this year is extremely important to me.. i'm still preparing the exam..
that
i told you before..
i'm planning to keep studying until next year.. and if i don't pass the
exam.. until then.. i'll quit.. and do something else..
in order to concentrate on studying the exam.. i might take a year
off
from school..
how the exam goes is so complicated that i cannot explain to you well
only
through email..
maybe.. i can explain it better face to face.. ^_^ (which means.. i
want to
see you so much..!!)
if everything goes so well.. and i pass the exam.. i will fly to you on
the
very next day after i get to know that i pass it...
so... wish me luck!!
and hope everything goes well with you this year!!!
bye..
miss you more than ever...

p.s.
i'm so sad to hear that the Fortune Wok is sold..
the place means a lot to me.. because we spent so much time there
together..
and i feel like i cannot see Kate ever again..
although.. it's been quite a long time since we talked on msn
messenger.. (she might have changed her email address) i thought that i
can
meet her some time in the future.. because i know where her uncle and
aunt
work..
how sad...
