To dear Dodo 7: Our Suzhou trip 5-8Jun09

Dear Mei-mei,

It has been more than 6 months. And yet sadness is really one persistent creature. I guess I will never stop missing you.

I hope you had enjoyed our Suzhou trip together. When we checked in and I was given Room number 4177, my first instinct was to reject the room because it had so many 4s and 7s and did not quite give a lucky feeling (the superstitious me talking here). Yet when I stopped for a few seconds to think about it, I know that somehow you had chosen the room. The numbers together added up to 19 – your number, precious one.

The room was not exactly big but I think it was ok for both of us. Hope you liked the hotel, though I must say Sheraton is not exactly the best 5-star hotel I have been to. Breakfast was a little disappointing but I do like the hotel’s architecture (in case you don’t know, this means design and style) very much.

Hmmm… I suspect Mei-mei might have been a little cheeky. First night – I put you on the couch and I slept well. Second night – I placed you on the bed and did not really get a good sleep. I think Mei-mei may have been up to her tricks and disturbing me. Third night – I decided to place you back on the couch and I got pretty good sleep again! Hope Mei-mei is not angry with me for not placing you on the bed because I so need my sleep! You know how lazy your Jie-jie is…

With Mei-mei now accompanying me on my solo trips, I guess solo trips will never be truly solo.

Loving you,
Jie-jie
