Chris' Wonderland

I was informed they had ranked my proposal first. Wow! I can't believe it! If you ask me whether I am excited about the news, I would say "I don't know...." Why? This winter vacation, I went back to Tainan to enjoy the sun and the leisure. However, as usual, all the syndromes of sickness just came out!

I did not know it was in my dream or my sleep, but I know the topic was "eating." What I remembered is that one thing I have to do is "eating" during the Chinese New Year.
