Continuing from a previous post...
Then in the secondary school, which I thought I could start over, making new friends... But I seemed to run into similar problems. I found that I didn't fit into any of the "groups" in school. One of the problems was that I didn't get to hang out with them. My family was poor -- I didn't have the means to go out with them. I had a couple of really good guy friends though whom I regret that I didn't really keep in touch with them. But if I look for them now, we'll be still be good friends. Anyway, other than those 2 friends... the rest of the classmates didn't really like me all that much. But as I remember right, it was ok. Life was good, most of the time. Then after the HKCEE exam, I left Hong Kong for a student exchange program. And I came to the States.
To be continued...

「或走出色的路，或出色地走路，都表現了你的出色。」這是作家李敏的座右銘。- you asked all my family members now ... we all defined "poor" differently. my family was poor and i was never felt inferior in front of others because they are richer (in what way?! money will get depreciated or wealth can be lost all of a sudden) in any way. cheer up and enjoy the life you are having now in the USA.
I was never bitter about it. Money isn't everything. And to be honest, my goal in life is not to make more money. I am content with what I have now. Of course it'll be nice if I make more money. But there are things that are more important in life. Money is only a means and nothing more than that.
sorry i misinterpreted this "I didn't have the means to go out with them. " as monetary or material means. anyway ... so what were you lacking then ?
cheers!
yeah .. didn't have to spare money to go out and parents were pretty strict anyway.
interesting to see your post about life in secondary school.. i remember i was sitting next to you on the first day of secondary 1 so naturally you should be my first friend in school. can't remember what have you done but the first impression of you is that "wow this boy is SO smart.." and that actually made me nervous as i was unable to judge whether it was "the standard" or you were above average. Thank god that you are by no means ordinary otherwise i would be in great trouble to catch up!
I am embarrassed by your compliment. I am just like anyone else on the street. But thank you. I really appreciate what you have said.
I am getting old. My memory fails me. I forgot who you are... sitting next to me on the first day of S1. Denis?
As i remember, Dennis Fok should be sitting next to Angela Wong which is just accross the aisle.
i can only remember things happened long ago but forget what had happened in the last hour.
I did think it was you, just wasn't sure. Yeah. now that you refreshed my memory. Angela did sit by Denis and you by me. Such a long time ago it seemed.
I wish to come back and visit you all. Still thinking about coming home in February, budget permitting.
that sounds exciting! just be ware that people are leaving for CNY in Feb. would be glad to see you again!
yup. so I might as well come after CNY. tix are expensive with fuel surcharge.
