Lys is a girl with a kind heart, superb in cooking carbonara spaghetti, hugging, listening, and joking . Having the amazing eyes, color change from indoor to outdoor; from day-time to night-time, sometime it’s yellow with green, sometime she got the bright brown, splendid. Sadly, i have my eyes in dead-black. She is gentle and generous, insisting in everything that is good to human, fair trade, organic farming & food, education to children. She wear Unicef volunteer shirt at home; share meals with me on the bed; have no hair-dryer at home and; cannot bear clock sound in bedroom. A French with a Chinese heart, able to sing China National Anthem, sing in Cantonese and; do origami rose. Incredible. And of course, beautiful and adorable, always trying her best to improve a better world. She did, turned my world wonderful & unforgettable.

Once upon a time There was a girl from HongKong; there was a girl from France. They met 4 years ago, in high school, Hong Kong; After that, in an April, they meet AGAIN, in France. Here’re the stories of them:)
After 5 months of lonely internship live, i can finally move to live with my friend as with as my “hosting family” – Lys.

C’est In an afternoon, Lys mixed some ingredients, I forgot if we did put that into the fridge, while in the next morning, she poured the mixture into the pan…. oh-my-god...

vie!
That smells BRAVO. She then shared me some orange-juice. So this was our breakfast!
Crepe with jam or nutella. It’s one of my favorite food in France!! (2nd-runner-up was the steak in Poitier) This definitely made my day.

Ride to the sky..!
一 定 都 有 很 多 捨 不 得 ，
我 們 的 生 命 中 ，
就 會 想 起 所 有 想 念 的 人 。
看 見 星 星 月 亮 ，
當 我 們 抬 起 頭 ，
…
卻 得 離 開 的 人
There’re always some situations like,
have to be apart with people we love...
When you looked up the night sky with moonlight and stars shining, it reminded me all of you.
雖 然 春 天 會 結 束 ， 可 是 美 麗 的 夏 天 也 在 等 待 著 。
Despite springtime would end our memory is everlasting like the blooming flower in our mind.
現 在 我 想 起 了 你
我 最 親 愛 的 你 過 的 怎 麼 樣 ?
I’m thinking about you
My dearest, how have you been?
雖 然 離 開 了 你 的 時 間 比 一 起 還 漫 長 我 們 總 能 補 償
Even though the time we’ve been apart is longer than when we’ve been together We can always compensate
因 為 中 間 空 白 的 時 光 如 果 還 能 分 享 也 是 一 種 浪 漫
Because in the time between If we can have that in common It’s still romantic in a way
像 親 人
讓 我 親 一 親 像 朋 友 一 樣 像 過 去 一 樣
Let me kiss you, in a way families & friends do, in the way we used to.
je t’aime.
Mille bisous d’amour et gros calins.
