An email and Chinese New Year

Dr. D, my boss, sent me an email.
I was being very anxious after sending him the finalized version of the Lab design. Because even after hundred times modification, I still don't know if it is perfect, after all this is my first time to design a lab without any help.

Tonight I forced me to open the school mailbox, opened the new email sent by my boss 2 hours ago and was ready to read some unsatisfied comments on my work done. Surprisingly, I read these:

"Good Job. I don't know what to do without you."

I took a deep breath and smiled. It certainly made me feel somehow accomplished.



I settled another bitch. I mean the task.
However, he assigned me my 3rd task since I took this job offer. And now I'm confident enough to handle it.


I realized that Chinese New Year falls on the beginning of the recess week in the next semester. Should I go home?
I haven't celebrated Chinese New Year with my family for 5 years. To me it's like X'mas to British, Thanksgiving to American.
This might be the last Chinese New Year I could actually make sense of in the next 5 years.


Daddy n Mommy, I am coming home for Chinese New Year.

You think Chinese New Year is like Christmas for westerners? Not this westerner. I ignore Christmas completely, but I love Chinese New Year.

I posted four pieces on Chinese New Year in Hong Kong recently that you might be interested in:
