November 8th Writing

–The Red lamp -2003
My first time went to Ikea was 2003. I was in the third year of the college and my first time to visiting Shanghai. I came to Shanghai have a job interview . I don’t think the interview went quite well as I’m not a good programmer at all.

After the interview, I felt awful and called my high school classmate Albert who lives in Shanghai . He said ” let’s meet at Ikea.”

Then I met him at the front door of Ikea. He was so cute and warm as always. We discussed everything while shopping in Ikea. Then he bought me a small red lamp as a gift . I liked it so much that I took it to my college dorm . and after I was graduated , I took it to my hometown .I think it is still in my bedroom and used by my Mom sometimes.

— The Sheep blankets -2005
I had no arrangement during the national holiday, so my father asked me to accompany him to his hometown in Zhe Jiang. I agreed to go with him but what I really wanted to do is to visit Albert in Shanghai first. I badly / desperately needed to know if he was still into me or not. I definitely didn’t want to have a relationship with him at all, for 2 reasons:

1. We were too far away from each other, and long term relationships never work.
2. We were best friends and if it didn’t work, I would lose my best friend forever.

We were acting like normal good friends. We went Ikea again because he wanted to buy the sheep blanket and so we bought it andtook it to his home…and while sitting on the blanket, we had our first kiss.
