[ Ginger ]

From 2013 to 2014, some Mandarin speaking people said it's important to be with the people/person you love.

"2013" sounds like "love you for the whole life" in Mandarin.

"2014" sounds like "love you for a century" in Mandarin.

The end of 2013, I was a tour guide for a few couples in London because they visited here.

Basically, I became the third wheel but I enjoyed it.

The girl was sick and could not say any word. The guy kept laughing at her voice but made sure she got enough cloths on at the same time.

The guy walked faster on the street and turned back to check if the girl was still there. The girl said to him that she can always easily see his back. He did not have to worry about her that much.

The girl was cooking dumplings. The guy said the way she cooked was not the same as his way. They had a small argument but after all, they ate the dumplings and talked, laughed.

For me, these are happiness.

The girl may get angry of him because he made jokes of her voice.

The girl may get mad because he did not wait for her.

The couple may make more arguments with some small details.

However, they solved it in different ways.

I am glad being the third wheel to see how amazing happiness is.

From 2013 to 2014, the final count down to the new year, they spent time together.

I wish their love can last a lifetime.

"Happiness is in the doing, not in the getting what you want." In the movie, "Before Sunset", the main actor Ethan Hawke said it.

Fight for it! : )

I wish all my relatives, friends can find the one(s) you love and get your happiness in 2014.
