My newborn niece

My sister told me that her baby was one week late. Since I said goodbye to Guangzhou and came back to Shantou to see my family before I fly to London. I am so surprised that the baby is so eager to say hello to me and the baby was born on 30th July at 3: 35 pm – exactly the day I arrived in Shantou. It’s a baby girl and weighs 5.8kg, with big eyes and looks like exactly like my brother-in-law. I am now officially an aunty.

My family is overwhelming excited; even thought sister was a little bit disappointed it was not a boy, because she was expecting a boy. My brother-in-law and I are happy to have a baby girl anyway! I will be flying this Friday and next time when I see the baby girl, she can speak, and will be more cute. Baby’s English name is called Natalie.

我的侄女出世拉!

姐姐告诉我说宝宝1个星期迟来报到了。已经跟广州告别,想在飞伦敦之前回到汕头见见父母,也希望姐姐的宝宝快出世,在飞之前能见上我侄女一面。惊喜的事,宝宝在我到达汕头的第一天就出世拉!姐姐虽然比较虚弱,但宝宝是顺产,5.8斤。大小都健康,宝宝超级小,两个大大的眼睛,就像我姐夫一样,长得很漂亮和大气,我还帮忙换尿布呢!哈哈,我终于做了小姨了!等我下次回家,她可能就会说话了。宝宝的中文名叫奕希,英文名叫Sissy,因大家都叫希希,所以我给她命名为Sissy!

Moving to London

Moving to London

As some of you know, my time in London was a testing period to see what the city is like. Very shortly I will be moving there to study for a masters degree at the University Of London.

Saying goodbye to Guangzhou, and especially my good friends, is not easy. I have spent a total of seven years in Guangzhou, arriving here as an innocent girl from Shantou. I’ve enjoyed my life, my studies, and my jobs here in Guangzhou and it is not without some sadness that I leave. However, although I am scared I am also excited to have something new and challenging to look forward to. I will need to start from scratch and work very hard, but the rewards should be well worth it.

I really wish I could take all my friends with me to London and I will miss them all. I am so glad they are always there for me and want them to know that they have played an important part of my life. I wish the best of luck to all of my friends and hope to see them in London.

See you soon Guangzhou.

5月在伦敦旅游了一个月,又回到熟悉的广州开始工作了,好像觉得从没有离开过广州似的。已经辞职的我,再工作多半个月,就生活在伦敦了。现在在准备好所有的一切,开始我的学生生涯,我将在其中一所伦敦大学读硕士。

其实很舍不得跟广州说再见,特别是我的朋友们,毕竟我在广州生活了7年了。4年的大学生活到3年工作;从一个什么都不懂的汕头妹,到可以说能自力更生独立生活在广州。我喜欢我的工作和简单的广州生活,但我意识到是时候为将来而准备而冲刺,让自己的英文水平更近一层,拿个更高的学位和国外的工作经验。说真的,我又是担心又是兴奋,因什么东西我对来说都是从头开始。前路茫茫,但一想到新的东西,新的朋友,也是给自己的一种加气的鼓励把。

真希望能把所有的朋友都打包跟我一起飞到伦敦,我会多么想念你们的陪伴和笑声。谢谢大家对我的厚爱和支持,你们在我生命中是如此的重要,祝大家心想事成,记得一定要来伦敦看我哦。

再见了广州,我把我的青春的黄金时间都奉献给你了,咱们后会有期。
