Love at first sight

That day, she married his neighbor. He lost his front teeth while playing with the other kids in the small and tranquil villiage days ago.

Seeing she sitting in the bridal sedan chair, he was as curious as the other kids who wanted to see how the bride was like. At the same time, he also wanted the bride to touch his chin so that his front teeth could grow out sooner. There goes an old saying in his villiage that if a kid loses his front teeth, he has to ask for a bride in his

Three cups of coffee for a sleepless night,

Tons of paper works scattered all around you

24 hours of computer works

The clock that warns us in every sound it makes;

I want to break free.

The moment of truth that cannot be outcast

That’s a part of the system that will never last.

Like a sunset that slowly hides down

And my
