Creation of Memory

My message on Facebook to Ichi was replied after a few days, and it wrote,

"...yesterday i was riding on my bike, suddenly, i felt this empty feeling for me as a foreigner being here. no memory no history,
就像一曾薄薄的冰很脆弱.
("just as a thin layer of ice.")

maybe what we do everyday is creating memory. time past and these memory become something beautiful, which make u able to locate yourself...

know what ,this scene we finished swimming class and dry our hair in that走廊 ("hallway") it suddenly apprear to me when i was taking a nap i can really feel the sensation that we put on 黑長襪 腳踏在地上哪種像第一次接觸地面的感覺. ("...I can really fell the sensation that we put on the black long socks, having our toes kissing the floor for the very first time.")"


The intensity of melancholy and simplicity of her words engulfed me, and even now I could not reply her.
Happiness comes from the weight of being. Memory is the root of existence, and being existing is to have weight.

"Do we exist?"


To make an analogy, the letter is like Chopin's Nocturnal.

It's a start of a long far voyage that we must go on; don't you agree with that, Ichi?




Eric is leaving. I wanted to hug him so many times. Such a great man, alas. If he had not been the president, I would have not survived my first year on the team. Everytime I was upset for not having a partner for competitions, he was the one helping me to wire up people.

He still loses count in Mambo after 5 years of dancing.

His number was 300 at Arnold.

He has a look of a prince, and Anastasia the princess. He uses "a piece of shit" for at least 7 times in his e-mail of selling his stuff. Matt Schwartz said it was the funniest email letter.

Stars were in his eyes when he talked about the movie "Euro Trip" of the scene when the character found "liberal sex service" in Amsterdam.




He is our hero.
