Eileen –my housemate, classmate, dearest friend
Eilleen-another dearest friend of mine
I sometimes still dial the wrong number and get confused about their names.
27th Feb. is Eilleen’s birthday. God! I forgot to say ‘happy birthday’ to her, felt so sorry about it. I am such a careless friend. So I cooked dinner for her and also gave her a belated birthday card with my belated greeting.
I’ve talked a lot about Eileen, because we are living in the same house and studying the same course, also sharing lots of things in common. So I am going just to talk about another Eilleen today, who I also care and love much.
Eilleen is a girl who is from Wuhan province, China. I first met her when I was in Beijing international airport, but we didn’t talk because we just saw each other when we were queuing before check-in. Bangor is not a big city, well, or I have to say this is not a city but only a small, quiet town. Thus, I didn’t expect to see anyone in the airplane who went to the same place as me. But Eilleen was just the one who came to the same place to study as me. Maybe, we are meant to be a good friend in our lives since that moment. The first year when I was living in the hall, we were living in the same block. Almost everyday, we went shopping together, cooking together, sure, eating together too. I can’t imagine that how I could overcome loneliness without her accompany at that time. We chatted a lot about study, our past, now and also future, everything about our families, love etc. It seemed that there was really no secret between me and her. That was extremely happy time for me to enjoy, I am smiling now even though I am just blogging here about our past. Of course, our friendship is still growing up now:)
I can’t take very spicy food before I began to have dinner with her together everyday, but after having meal with her for a long time, I began to fall in love with spicy food. The foreigners always coughed badly when we were cooking in kitchen cos of the smell of species. Haha ! so funny! And they would immediately open the window in the kitchen and let that smell went out.
Eilleen is really a nice girl, she is not very talkative but with a really kind-heart. She helped me a lot when I was in a low spirit. We sometimes could chat from 8pm till 3 am, hehe, don’t know why we had so much to talk. Like now, I and Eileen (my housemate) also have endless topics to bublabubla.
Second year, I moved out and moved into this house which I am currently living in. Therefore, we don’t have too much time to be together and she moved out of hall too. So we didn’t chat that much like before because of different schedule and also the distance between my house and hers. I once thought that me and her were walking away from each other and we were not good friends as before. But I know that I am still caring her a lot at the bottom of my heart, though we didn’t contact quite often. I am going to graduate this year and leave this lovely, quiet and lonely small town where she still has to stay one more year, but I bet I will miss her a lot. And hope our friendship won’t die in distance, wish her happy everyday.
Last thing i want to say is that i really really feel lucky to have these two cuties as my good friends here, thanks Eileen and Eilleen! Huggggggggggggggggggg
