I'm not really sure how I do it, but it seems like I attract/or am attracted by some of the most unique individuals.
All the friends I've met independently (I mean not through family or other friends really), the ones that decide to be my friends because...I guess because they like me... for me.
Well these friends turn out to be amazing individuals in their own right. I sometimes have to reflect back on how blessed I am to meet these people, and to be considered their friend.
It's happened to me again haha *shakes head in slight disbelief*
It started with a head massage XD
Just a simple trip to the hair dressers (ok it was at midnight XP) and then I met HIM or THEM... well Them.
I was talking with the guy who was washing my hair. His English was good and he seemed so nice. Coupled with the fact that he was massaging my ears in a way that almost made me purr, well I felt really comfortable around him.
Then another guy dried my hair. The first was handsome, with such a happy, friendly face, the second... he is like... he is almost beautiful...
The first guy (the kindest man ever) Wang Bo (Wilbur) asked for my QQ (like MSN) and email and gave me his number before I left.
The second man is called Peng Hai, or Sky is his English name.
So that was a nice night...
...but then I got texts from Wilbur every day when I was in Luoyang, so by Wednesday when I got back to ZZ I felt like I really wanted to see them again.
When I got there I met Wil's sister, the owner of the shop. Straight away I liked her. She told me she has two children, a boy and a girl, but of course she didn't look like it at all.
Wil and his sister brought me for dinner, which was delicious and then we went back to the shop. She told me that she likes me a lot and apparently I am not like other foreigners who are apparently loud, whereas I am quiet and polite ^^ I met Wil's best friend who is from Tibet. When this guy smiles he looks just like Li Lianjie, or Jet Li :D and a few of their other friends and employees.
In the shop it was so funny because anywhere I sat, it seemed like everyone else gravitated around me, even when customers were there. That was a strange feeling... 6 guys (5 of whom looked like Jrockers *melts*) and 3 really cute girls surrounding me. They even did my hair with cute plaits.
After they closed the shop, Wil's sister suggested that I could stay at Wil's place. They even asked another girl to come along so I wouldn't feel strange surrounded by boys haha. The gates to my apartment close at 12 anyway so I went.
They had so many great things from Tibet, and one of the flatmates (called Dali a huge guy whose name means "big" "strong") was an artist or leather carver. Yes the further irony of "Dali" is not lost on me XDDD His bags and wallets were amazing. I might get a bag.
I slept in a room with a huge sofa bed and had a good night's sleep,... but then in the morning I went in the sitting room and I saw... 2 guys sleeping on couches and one guy on the floor. *Shot of guilt!* They let me have the room *tears up* Well I AM a girl haha!
We took the bus to the shop and then I watched them do their morning routine. They lined up in a military formation (I wish I had a picture! 4 guys with amazingly styled hair, fronted by my adorable new big brother [Wil said I could call him that^^] singing, and shouting slogans XD) then at the end they had a push up competition XDD right on the street! 3 of them dropped out pretty quickly so it was just Wilbur and Peng Hai. Wil is strong looking whereas Peng Hai is more slender, but Mr. Sky won in the end.
Then me and Wilbur went for breakfast. At first the others were with us, but then they decided to go somewhere else.
At about 10:30 I realised I had to get back to prepare for my afternoon classes. Wilbur brought me back on his bike and he got to meet Amigo.
When he was talking with Amigo I kind of subtly watched him and he just looks like such a relaxed person. Such a friendly face.
I kind of have to be very careful. I won't do anything, I am positive I won't.... but thinking is dangerous too.
Oh the birthday party! LOL! Well it's Ania's birthday party today so I'll probably go to see them again and get my hair done. I will insist on paying since they are a new business and I want to support them. We're going to have Cantonese and then go to a pub. It's going to be a lot of fun ^^
hair xd,
birthday party,
new friends
