Leopards and spots

Leopards doesn't change their spots. How true. People whom you don't meet for years are still the same.Different time, years later, different place but the spots are still unchanged. People 's characters are so much a signature of them.The lambs will still be lambs, the tigers will still be tigers. Only difference is that sometimes we hope the tigers will change to lambs which unfortunately is never possible. Sigh!

CNY came and went off. Though I miss her a lot, I was glad she was well occupied in Glasgow during the period. Ultimately, I just want her to be happy.
