Hi My Steemit Friends,
This week I just spent 2 nights in Hong Kong and just had back to back flight to Vancouver. I admit that I spend lots of time flying and traveling last year. Recently, I thought I should meet up some of my really good friends before moving to Vancouver very soon. The first one and the most important one I immediately thought about to meet up is Helen, my school mates in Secondary school. We used to see each other very often, but this time I hadn't seen her for one year even we live so close to each other.
這幾個星期我大部分時間都留在溫哥華，即使要工作一有時間我就飛回溫哥華。想想看我近一年我都只飛來飛去或是去旅遊，我都很久沒有見過好友們了。打從一個月前已決定要搬回加拿大住後，就決定要見一見很久沒見過的朋友，尤其是她-Helen，我的中學同學。以前我們常見面因為我們住得很近，但上一次我們見面大概一年前吧！
I am happy that we didn't change much (how we look and how we talk to each other). It's a precious relationship and we are happy that we keep it well.
我們兩常說我們很開心即使我們不常聯絡，但是心中有大家。而且我很開心我們樣子跟溝通方式也一直都是 'buddy buddy'的！
I always buy her things around the world as I miss her all the time. For example, she loves 'Hello Kitty' which is I don't like much, then I have bought her many "Hello Kitty' products until her husband stopped me. lol But she deserves it. Everytime we meet up, it's like other Boxing day besides December one.
我每去一個地方都買她一堆東西。好笑的是她很喜歡Hello Kitty，我到日本工作或是見到這卡通人物就會買它的產品給她，她的老公應該忍受不了叫我不要再買給她了哈哈！所以每次見面就是另一個Boxing Day 啦：）
She has a really good husband who love and spoil her (in a nice way) so much. I am so happy for her really. One thing I like about her husband is he treats every good friend and family of Helen's as his friend and family as well. This is very important for a relationship - respect. This time her husband made us yummy dinner: Fried spaghetti with Grilled Chicken and Garlic sauce. They know I am a pasta lover:P
她有一個很疼她的老公，一直以來我都很愛看他們的相處，尤其欣賞她老公對Helen的好友好像自己的朋友一樣好。這是一種尊重。這次他為我們準備了我最愛的西餐：烤雞排蒜炒意大利麵。我最愛就是意大利麵了！
Grilled Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms and homemade cream mushroom soup. They all tasted good :)
烤大啡菇和奶油蘑菇湯！太好吃了！
The whole night we talked so much about our life, our job and relationships. I am so grateful that I can have an amazing, loyal and lovely friend who grew up with me during my teenager time. To be honest, I don't have many closest friends as I am quite picky. Or maybe I can say it in this way - I only love spending time with someone who deserve my 100% love and time. I can't give someone just 50% love and call her/him as 'good friend'. I just know what and whom I need in my life and I can see clearly who treats me as best friends with their real heart. I am quite weird I know and not many people can understand my mind expect those who are still in my life.
我們開心地聊了整個晚上，聊了我們的生活，感情和工作上的大小事。我一直很感恩她的存在，一個心地善良、專情和有愛的好朋友在我生命出現。說實話我做人蠻有態度的。我對選擇朋友蠻挑剔，如果我認定他是我的好友，我會付出100%的愛，義無反顧地幫助他們如果他們需要我的時候。尤其是看到他們對我也是一樣的時候，我會更用心保護這友情。我知道這樣是蠻奇怪的想法，但這好像才是真的友情吧？你們覺得呢？
I still remember two year ago when she told me she was getting married. She called me in the midnight and invited to be her maid of honor. I said yes immediately and I requested leave for her wedding. We chose wedding dresses together, looked for nice place for wedding dinner, finished all the small stuff for wedding together. I said 'It's like a wedding for three of us as I participated in the preparation of this wedding too much!' But I enjoyed it cause I could feel how much she trusts me when she is moving on to another stage in her life.
我還記得兩年前她有一晚打給我說她要我當她婚禮的伴娘，我立刻答應和立即跟公司請假。我們從她被求婚到正式要舉辦婚禮期間的一年，我們一起選婚紗、一起討論婚禮場所及處理一些大小事。我也說過：「這婚禮好像是我們三人的婚禮吧？我也參與得太多了！」即使我這樣說，但其實我蠻享受的，因為我知道她很相信我，也想我陪她一起過人生另一美好的階段。
I could feel that how she misses me when I told her I am gonna move to Vancouver and I won't come back HK very often. She gave me a big hug and said how much she loves me. She said she hopes that she can be the maid of honor of my wedding in the future. This is what two girls' conversation is - always says that how much they wanna be one of the bridesmaids of each other's wedding haha. This is Love man. You guys may not get it :D Just wanna let her know whatever she wants me to do for her, I am here.
我可以感受到她的不捨當她知道我要搬離開香港，尤其她抱著我的一刻。她這幾年一直說她要當我婚禮的伴娘，唉這就是兩個女孩太愛對方常說的對白，男生應該不太理解的。無論如何，只想讓她知道不論我在何方，當她需要我我都在。
How's your beautiful friendship in your life? It must be so beautiful with tons of lovely memories.
Thank you for reading and sharing yours with me:)
Much love,
Gladys
