He sat at the 1st row of the class, his eyes blinking very fast each time the teacher talking..he opens his glasses once in a while..and busy making notes while others carefully listening to the teacher, we called Naomi. A half Korean Australian Citizenship holder talks very fast indeed with her strong Oz accent, “noey you won’t collect the assignment here in class, you need to goey to my office…”. a sound of a strong traditional chinese character guy cut Naomi’s explanation, all faces immediately looked at to the front row seat. Everyone was curious to know who and what will this guys say…, 10 sec paused..then “c..a..n yo..u..ple..as..e ..expla..in…that..a..g.ain?” the class cheer..laughing at the guy with strange hair cut style. Just before Naomi explain him again, she ask “What’s your naime?” | “George…” that guy said..
His Canton name is Yongchun Xie, his English name is George. I was maybe one of some snob guys who saw him as a boring dude, but I am now the closest guy and he is the definition of the word best friend for me. By now our friendship has gone 2 years. not too long but the two years period gave us huge meaning of friendship. the trust that we’ve built each other has just getting bigger. He is the one that I trust to hold my apartment key while I am away, despite lots Indonesian friend that I got. George is a figure that put honesty and discipline as his 1st priority of all. He always said, “
our (he and I) friendship are base on trust, not money”. George comes from a mid-level family, at least that’s what he said to me. he is the oldest among his parent’s child. I don’t know. but I always believe that he’ll somehow become a very successful guy.
He fell in love with one of our Philipino bridging friend name Hazeline (Haze). But I not sure Haze like George. and She’ll regret it, I’ll bet. Haze was George’s 1st unreachable love. To be always with Haze, George even goes to the same elderly house (place to taken care of elderly people) in Subiaco. But I think he had enough with Haze now. He recently said to me that Haze was a liar, and that was principal for George, full stop. I’ve once warned George about Haze, but he just don’t believe me, now he sees.
George now works very hard to get more money, he said that he needs to help his parent. he just bought my car in cash on 13 July 2011. He let me use the car until I left this city. He admitted that he won’t drive until he become a permanent permit holder (P), he is not Learner’s permit holder (L). So he should wait until Dec 2011. what a straight George. I sometimes wonder if his life is so bored :p. But it;s just him. He is now spoken English better than I 1st now him, more vocabs than me..damn George. he reads lotsa books, browse more infos from internet and all. He asked me if he can invest in my business, I said “NO!! wait until the next 10 years” now we will be separated miles miles away, but that won’t stop us from being in touch, Facebook, email, Skype and stuff like that will make us in touch. Pray for you George, you’ll get what you aim for, and be a successful guy, make Haze regret even more!! thanks for everything while I am here buddy…we’ll meet again in another occasion. I’ll miss hanging out with you!!
Best of friend
Odjie
