LONG THAW
I am really excited to meet my 'penfriend' at last. I came to know her by writing letters. She had been my paper friend last two years. It was through the Instagram. Afterwards, we wanted to be more confidential and never used any other media. Her name is PinYin, which means Rose in Chinese. She lives in Singapore with her parents. Her mother is Chinese but her father is English. She is just graduated from her University and coming over to see me in England. "It is a treat from my family," she wrote. She is also travelling with her dog Huan, meaning happiness. We only know each other from the pictures. This is the first rendezvous will be in London. Christmas is in two weeks time. Everywhere covered with Christmas illuminations, very impressive pictures all around the city. I shall be meeting her at the Pub, in Hyde Park. I arrived at the Red Lion, an hour earlier. It is on a little hill looking at the beautiful frozen pond. I could see a few people ice skating and kids are playing snowballs and one mighty big snowman in the middle of it. I am really excited about meeting with someone never met before in person. It is a freezing day and snowing. I came early to get a seat next to the fireplace.Pub has got a very big log fireplace. It is the main attraction of the place. Old fashion one, can hear the sound of wood cracking and see the flames dancing in the air while it's warming up the room. Two, Georgian style leather chairs next to the fireplace were available. I just put my coat and scarf on them to own it. I just wanted to be romantic in our first gathering. First impressions are very important, I wanted her to have an unforgettable memory. I already had two pints of beer. I can't help checking my watch, every second. I am staring at the door in case she walks in. Penfriendship may sound old fashion which it is. It is posting letters to each other. You wait for at least two weeks to hear from. She, living in the far east, sometimes it took longer. I wanted to use email first. She did not want it. I got used to waiting for letters at the end. I got the habit of looking out to the postman in case he had a letter for me. Now it was time to meet, talk, and touch her. I had a feeling, I already knew her from the things we had written to each other.

DEEP DIVE
DEEP DIVE Living Memories I am on holiday at the very beautiful part of the Aegean Sea coast with my family and a friend. It is a treat for us to finish our A level exams. This place is amazing. It is at least half an hour away from the nearest town. There are fifteen one-bedroom bungalows, a campsite and a restaurant. The restaurant is placed on a high hill providing beautiful scenery of the sandy beach and the green seawater. It is the centre of a holiday life created in this peaceful place. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Disco in the evenings, all happens in this place where people are socialised all day long. One attraction of this place is the very cold sea. When you getting into the sea, after sun tanning under 40C regular heat it makes you really freeze for few minutes. You get used to it soon and do not want to leave it. Locals have "Fiesta" in the afternoon, you don't see them till late in the afternoon. Mainly tourists like us, stay on the beach and enjoy the natural habitat even if it is hot enough to fry an egg on the sand.

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE
I said to Laila " You don't really mean it. I can't understand what is going on. We have been going out for nearly eight months. Your Birthday is in two weeks time. You are telling me I can't meet your parents. It does not make any sense at all." She was initially silent, suddenly said "How many times I told you, we come from different cultures, traditions. I can't tell my parents about our friendship. They won't accept it. As far as they are concern I am at Oxford University to get a degree not for making friends. . This is my first year and their first visit to Oxford. That is not fair to upset them. I am sorry " with that remark I felt rejected and just said "See you " and left the room.
