Xiaobai emailed everyone today to celebrate the Birthday of our youngest member. Thus, everyone has reached 29. How are we going to celebrate?…

Wow, it’s scary to look back. When we met, we were all only 18 years old. Our cheeks were all red like apples. We haven’t had a real romance, we haven’t been hurt by some guy either (well, if one or two had, then they didn’t tell us). We were still curious about dance party. We didn’t know yet how to put up with 5 other people. We hadn’t ever left the country. We would spend half a day making lanterns from oranges and celebrate Birthdays of members from a boy dorm room.

Now, we are scattered around the world. None two of us is in one city. More than half married, some are still happily single.

Remember, we were so into playing the Odd World, we sent one member to the cafeteria to bring back a bucket of food?

Remember, evenings after evenings, we gathered in front of that 15 inch monitor and watched VCDs. And every time, we felt super guilty afterwards.

Remember, we waited in line so many times for the only mini electric pot to boil instant noodles? We added Qingcai and eggs to make it the world’s best food in winter.

Remember, the last night of the graduation, we walked all around to find a hotel that would let us stay over and celebrate (because our dorm doesn’t provide electricity at night) ? But we didn’t have enough cash and the ATM was closed…

I wrote back,

“The way to celebrate 29, is to buy a bunch of junior clothes. Go all the way pretending we are still young…

May we all take Laoda as our role model, become the young and timeless old witch ”

Call me pervert if you want, but I am writing this down

Laoda, I really want to kiss you…

Xiaobai, I really want to pinch your red cheeks…

Clara, I really want to hug the soft you …

Xiaoli, I really want to say, dear wife, how are you doing …

Xiaoniang, I wish your baby and your family well …
