This
is my friend, Leo. I took that picture at a restaurant in Hong
Kong on June 28, 99. He didn't want to take a picture that night,
so I got one when he was eating.
Leo is one of my best friends from high school. After
finishing high school, he entered the University of Hong Kong studying Dentistry. He is now
a Dental Surgeon in a public hospital in Hong Kong.
Leo
and I have been friends for many years. He is always the perfect
person in my eyes. At school, he is the perfect student, smart
and hardwroking. Unlike Brian and I, he always got good grades
at school. Before the A-Level exams, we had already known that
Leo would definitely be able to get in the university. Since
Brian and I were not good students like Leo, we continued our
studies abroad finally.
As
the eldest son at home, Leo is a good and responsible son/brother.
He mentioned that he had the responsibility to take care of his
parents and siblings. Most of you may know that apartments in
Hong Kong are very expensive, however, Leo bought an apartment
for his younger brother and sister, so they could have their
own apartment even though they couldn't afford to mortgage or
buy one in the future. He told me, "This is my JOB, I'm
RESPONSIBLE for it." Be honest, I was touched when he said
that (although I'm not his brother.)
As
a friend of mine, he is definitely the Mr Nice Guy with almost
no temper at all. In contrast, I am the bad guy to him. I think
my most unbareable habbit to Leo is I am the person without the
sense of time. Well, be more specific, I am always late for appointments,
especially those with nice persons. Leo is my record holder that
he has been waited for me for an hour once. Even he has waited
for such a long time, he only cursed a bit with no anger. Among
Leo, Brian and I, I am the talkative and outspoken one. Sometimes,
I said something I shouldn't say to my best friends. I knew I
hurt their feelings from time to time even though they always
forgave me.
The
romance of Leo is the part that I don't know much. Since I am
always not in Hong Kong. I have never met his girlfriend for
6 years. However, as I know Leo, he is a loyal and faithful person
who probably will stick with the same girlfriend/wife till the
end of his life.
(I
finally met Leo's girlfriend, Vanessa, when I go back to Hong
Kong in July 2000. They got married two months later on September
9, 2000.)
Leo,
Brian and I are not students any more, and we cannot see or talk
to each other as often as we were at school. However, in my mind,
they are always my best friends. I cherish our friendship and
the time we spent together.
P.S. I
thought it was easy to write something about Leo since we have
been friends for such a long time. However, I found it was very
difficult in the beginning as I had too much information about
him and the memorable time we spent together (of course, Brian
is always part of it) scattered around that I had to put them
back together in pieces. So, I put this section aside for a while.
I originally planned to finish it by Leo's birthday on August
2, but I couldn't make it. Shame on me!!! Anyway, if Leo sees
this page, I would like you to know that I write every word from
the bottom of my heart. As I mentioned, I cherish our friendship!!!
